CCG - 200 "Mat at 14"






I loved these colours even though I thought at first orange oh no! Used only things from my stash, found this Urbanlilly collection which had the perfect colours and cut the large orange blooms from this collection, I think it was called Urban Boy Collection. Used my Tim Holtz tattered florals and elegant flourishes die for the smaller flower and the flourishes coming out at the top and bottom. Not so keen on dripping for the designer's challenge so opted for the melting with the glittering and embossing which I went a bit mad with, used my Cricut (must use that more) to cut out the title and the butterfly I think it was from the DCWV Mariposa collection. This was taken this time last year in the garden as it was Matthew's 14th birthday getting ready for his 15th this weekend oh how time flies LOL! Looking forward to Friday six, yes six weeks off for the summer yeehaaaa!!!!!

    Your layout is stunning doll! Love those gorgeous swirls and how you've altered them with glitter and heat embossed them. Also love your gorgeous flowers and that butterfly is divine!
    To answer your question on my blog (sorry to the delayed response, been one of those weeks)..Madison returned to school this week after 3 weeks school holiday...our long holidays (5-6 wks) are in December, when our school year ends. ;) Hope your kids have fab school holidays! I love the holidays because I get a break from speeches, projects, exams etc...feel like im doing school all over again!
    Have an amazing weekend my friend..chat soon.

    Dear one!

    Your header is so darling! LOVE THE WELLIES!

    Thank you for coming to my post today; your kind words are such sweet encouragements! Isn't blogging fun?

    I am beginning to like ORANGE! I never was a fan of this colour UNTIL BLOGGING and seeing how other people appreciate it! Life is like that, isn't it?


    Happy day! Anita

    Birthday boy, already 15! they sure are growing up so fast! my step DD is already 22, will be moving back to Stockholm in August so hubbs and I look forward to seeing her a bit more often than during the passed few years when she's been to uni. You really caught the yumminess of the vibrant colours in the inspo pic, those flourishes are gorgeous! Up to any mischief this week? xoxoxo
