Besties!

This is my step daughter, Hollie, on the beach with her friends. 

As soon as I saw the photo, I knew it needed to go right across the page. Then it was just a case of adding a few layers and paintbrush effects on the BG. I split the writing slightly to give the effect of paint going across 2 layers.

I decided to stick to one colour as I think it makes the photo stand out nicely.

The kit I used is a collab kit from The Lily Pad called I'll Be There For You. Details of how to get this gorgeous kit can be found Here.

Saturday Spotlight Week 26

Welcome to The Saturday Spotlight!

This weeks's stunning page is 'Out With The Dog'  by Audrey (cosybythefire).

The colours are so striking and I love the use of black. I tend to shy away from using a black BG, but this proves that it can work. It's a great foil for the colours and makes the page jump out at you.

Audrey produces so many gorgeous digi scraps and her gallery on Daisytrail is well worth a look.

The kit used is 'One Day' by Natli with some additional bits also by Natli.

Thank you Audrey :)

A Fabulous Easter

I have had a lovely Easter with my family and am now happily scrapping the millions of photos I have taken!

This page features my niece. She loves posing for the camera, but I'm glad I got this more candid shot of her. We had great fun taking part in an Easter egg hunt at Petworth Park and this photo is a pause in the proceedings :)

I've used a kit called Art & Soul from Sahlin Studio. Plus a few elements from Allison Pennington and Lynne Marie.

Saturday Spotlight Week 25

Welcome to THe Saturday Spotlight!

This page is by Sherri (sgroenke) and I love it for it's simplicity.

The photos are gorgeous and the LO compliments them beautifully. I love the colour matching and the framing too.

The kit is Head in The clouds. a store collab from SNP. 

Thank you Sherri. Your page is adorable :)

Saturday Spotlight Week 24

Welcome to The Saturday Spotlight!

This week's page is by Caseylacey.

I love the expression on the dog's face and the effects she has used are great. I also love the fact that it's B&W with just a tiny bit of colour. A beautiful scrap :)

I don't have any info on the page yet, or the kits used. Will update as soon as I can.

New Camera

So Matt has finally upgraded his camera to this fab all singing all dancing piece of equipment! He is so chuffed with it and I get his 'old' camera so am pretty happy too :)

I've used 2 great kits for this page, 'Click' and 'Focal Point', both by One Little bird. I thought the circles would draw the eye to the camera lense in the photo. 

I've been desperate to do something with circles after being inspired by my last 2 saturday spotlight pages.

Saturday Spotlight Wk 23

Welcome to The Saturday Spotlight!

I have gone for another circle type page this week. I've obviously got a thing about circles on pages at the mo lol.

This is by Nanny Jean and is called Gracies Garden. The photos are great. Being a keen gardener myself, I love to see children getting involved. Gracie looks to be having a fab time getting her hands dirty. Just lovely!

I also love the crossword in the BG. A great idea for the title and the over all grungy feel of the page is perfect for the gardening photos.

 The photos were taken last month when Gracie was given her own little section of the garden. Jean says that gracie will be chuffed to bits that her page was chosen!

Jean used a kit by KK79 and is called 'Soar Through Spring'

Thank you Jean x
