Hazel Layout - 7 Dots Studio Guest Designing for Scrap Around The World {Soulmates Collection}
Plus a New Challenge up at Studio 75!








Hello everyone!  It's been a really busy time for me in the last week - getting back from vacation & sorting out everything new {Design Team, Sponsors & Guests} at Scrap Around The World, plus working on some projects due in this month.  Today the 7 Dots Studio team are our Guests at SATW & as a member of the 7 Dots Studio Team I contributed another layout for the current challenge.  It was fun to work on the mood board again as I did my Design Team layout ages ago!


Here's a reminder of our current mood board.  You can find our challenge HERE. I used the wonderful new "Soulmates" Collection for my layout.  You can view it HERE.  My layout is about the kitten we got for my daughter, to cheer her up after a very messy break-up, only for the kitten to get very sick & eventually die :(  It was a terrible time...


I was inspired by the colours of the board as well as the roses 
{I used a really old Rose die-cut paper as part of my background}. 
 I also added a clock, part of a frame & also thought the saying was appropriate. 


This collection has 2 sheets of stickers, a tag sheet & a pop-out/die-cut 
sheet full of really versatile quotes & sayings to do with love.


For my mixed media background I used gesso, Prima Color Bloom Sprays as well as glitter.  The Script stamp is part of the awesome stamp set that goes with the Soulmates Collection.

Oh I was so sad to read about Heather and how all the love in the world couldn't save her. I can totally relate. This is such a wonderful page too, soft and full of sweetness. xoxo

Yeah such a sad story but in the time she was with you she brought love and she was loved in return. Breakups are never easy and as a mommy our jobs are never done. This is a beautiful tribute to your sweet kitty.
