Hello Duckies

Hi there. It's been a productive week for layouts and I did three this week. Hubby's been away for the last week, so I got to take over the study in the evenings and leave all my stuff out without him grumbling about the mess. Haha.

This is the first layout I did. A very simple one that took only a half hour.

Hello Duckies

I wanted to keep the layout simple and fun to match the photos, using mostly bright colours. The photos were taken at a shopping mall that used the ducks as a promotion. Too cute. 

I free-hand cut the pink paper with scallops and then added bits of the other colours randomly on each. I like the slight childishness

I die cut the hello from glitter paper and bulked it up with four more layers of blue cardstock to make it thicker. I stuck the yellow alpha stickers on white cardstock and cut around it. I love the big blue flowers, rimmed with silver balls. It gives an eye catching visual to the page.

I finished off the layout with some wooden buttons.

Products Used

Chill Out in Vancouver

Hi there, First week back at school and Miss C is enjoying herself, likes her teacher and is eager to get back to learning again. I love it when she comes bouncing into the flat, ready to tell me about her day.

As for me, I've done one more layout this week. I thought I'd start early this time with the My Creative Sketches challenge, so this one is based on the August MCS sketch.

Chill Out

I love all the bright colours on this layout and the yellow matt is a good foil for the blue photos. The pics were taken on our first full day in Vancouver, where we were invited to a picnic by extended family.

I first added random circles of molding paste through a stencil to give a bit more interest to the page. I then added the matts on top, giving lots of contrast in colours.

I added flowers and a pink circle for the accent in the sketch and a few "beachy" stickers to tie in with the photos.

The puffy title is too cute and I love the little seagull perched on the 't'.
