MTW - May Main Challenge

Hi friends!

Today I'm here with new layout inspiration for May Main Challenge - Memories & Frame in More Than Words!

There are some unusual moments we don't take seriously in the moment, but which end up being the most important moments that will not come back but we'll remember forever.
Those are our sweet MEMORIES. I took a picture of my son one day while playing in the park. He was enjoying the swing and was happy to almost reach the sky. When I looked for a picture for this challenge, this one brought a big smile to my face, at the thought of this memory.

I used a Frame box for my focal point because there is not more symbolic than framing a magical moment like that.

Thanks for stopping by!

StencilGirl & Lindy's blog hop

Hi sweet friends!

I share with you today an amazing Blog Hop that I'm participating in with Lindy's and Stencil Girl!

So big welcome to my blog💓

I would like to share with you the layout I've prepared for this blog hop -

Only with a smooth white paper, stencils and colors.

I used stencils of Stencil Girl. They have a huge selection of stencils and just fun working with them

http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-little-painted-rainbows-carolyn-dube-p/s520.htm

http://www.stencilgirlproducts.com/stencil-doodle-circles-squares-maria-mcguire-p/s265.htm

I started with the background preparation. I used Lindy's blazing black spray on a stencil (on another paper) and then picked up the stencil and used it on my layout like a stamp

Then I used the bottom of the rainbow stencil - first with water and then with Lindy's colors:
California Poppy Gold
Time Travel Teal
French Lilac Violet
Plumeria Pink

I placed the picture and continued the same with the rainbow

Now that my background is ready, I put the picture down and went on with the whole composition.

I added flowers and embellishments.

I pained the chipboards with Lindy's Embossing Powder - Guten Tag Teal

Other embellishments I made myself.

I sprayed Lindy's blazing black on white paper with the same stancil from the LO background. Then with background stamp and Lindy's embossing poweder - Purely White, I prepared the extra background and finally cut the shapes that were created - squares and circles in several sizes, and added in different places on my LO

Also added touches with Art Stoned and White Gesso

Hope you like this projects.

Butterfly effect - MTW April Main Challenge

Hi sweet friends!

It's April here and with it is also the Main Challenge in More Than Words!

Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration - NATURE and a creative challenge - ANIMAL

For me, NATURE symbolizes freedom and breath of relief. I therefore chose to make a layout with pictures of butterflies which I really love because they are amazing creatures of the ANIMAL kingdom.

They have always intrigued me.

How from their cocoon they become so spacial and beautiful. How is it that even though they are considered 'bugs' in nature, it is very rare that people are disgusted by them.

Do you know that they usually only live for 3 weeks? But, they go through so much in that short period of time.They go through a special process that gives me a lot of inspiration in life.

Hope you liked this project, waiting for yours! 💓

Thank you so much for stopping by!

My family layout

Hi guys!

It's March here and with it is also the Main Challenge in More Than Words!

Our Main Challenge is based on a word inspiration - COMFORTABLE and a creative challenge - COLOUR COMBO

For me, my family is totally what makes me feel most COMFORTABLE. They make me feel important and essential, they need me and give meaning to my life.

This COLOUR COMBO so suited me in creating this layout because the colour are so calm, pleasant and embracing, all of which really connected me easily to my family

Waiting for your projects! 💓

Thank you so much for stopping by!
