Challenge #36 at Southern Girls


WHITE ON WHITE

 

White on White.......mmmmm ...... not so easy. Took me a while to to settle down to find a starting point for this one! After half an hour or so, with punches, laces, flowers, embossing plates and anything else that was white I managed to make a start.
This is a photo of daughters and I being silly with Carl taking some photos...In all the others he cut off the top of our heads!! This is blurred but changing it too black and white it looked like it had the fade out look going on......))))
The ticket  and sentiment is Whimsy and says "Well-behaved women rarely make history" by 
Eleanor Roosevelt.
Quite apt for us silly girls!
Love and appreciate your comments. TFL

Mini Album for my Mums 80th B'day



Southern Girls Challenge #34.....Lets Celebrate......  http://southerngirlschallenge.blogspot.com/   




This is a mini album made from envelopes, courtesy from "laura"aka "followthepapertrail" on Youtube.
It was a challenge with my friend to make the envelope album and cover it in our desired pps and then embellish it in our own time. A lot of fun!! I used Webster pps with prima flowers and bling and frame.
 The celebrate is an embossed stamp on a spellbinders die.
 I shall leave the insides for another time!! TFL

SMILE

Good morning Girls. For this fortnights challenge we are doing ANYTHING GOES. This always seems to be very popular with all you talented Gals out there in scrappy and card making land........
This LO is  a Dusty Attic Sketch from a couple of months ago. I loved the sketch and just had to give it a go.



I have masked, inked, stamped, painted, used my cuttlebug and used flower soft to make my topiary plants and misted them with GM. I had never used ovals in this way before and love the look of the main picture in the oval frame.  This is DH and I at his sons wedding in Port Elizabeth in SA about 3 yrs ago.
 TFL.
