Hi Everyone! Today I joyously present to you this HAPPY layout I created,
thanks to the inspiration of the wonderfully talented Heather McMahon of
Australia, using her new October mood board at Scrap Around The World.
With the addition of some white cardstock I got those colours popping!!
I used a local South African company to print these
They print either the Polaroid style of the Photo Booth (strip) style
which work great for the more 'everyday' type photos, where you
don't want to devote an entire page to a single photo.
The theme of my page is THANKFULNESS {gratitude}
& counting my daily blessings in life {the little things}.
It's one for my own personal album, so it's just about ME -
no photos of kids! Sometimes it's important to remember
your needs as an individual, even as a Mum!
For my background I used gelatos as nothing beats their opacity & vibrancy.
I blended them using a paper serviette as I find that
baby-wipes cause pilling of the cardstock.
I also using the gelatos to stamp with, which creates a lovely watercolour look.
Most of my flowers, bling & embellishments come from Prima of course :)
I used my bubble stencil with some texture paste
to emulate the bubble image on the mood board.
I'll be back tomorrow to share all the wonderful SATW PRIZES!
& of course I would love to see you joining in & playing along :)
