Just fishing

I have made quite a few layouts but haven't shared them so here's one I did for The Studio Challenges a while back when we joined up with Stick it down. They provided us with a sketch and we came up with the challenge of using a song title.

Heres the layout I created using the sketch, the photos are of my nephews stick fishing. 

The fish actually started out as a mistake as I got some paint over on that side of the layout which looked out of place so I added the fish on the string and then made my own little fishing rod to go down the other side. Quite pleased with how it turned out in the end.

For the title I didn't know many fishing songs so I Googled fishing songs and thought Just fishin' fitted quite well.

The look of Love

Here's a layout I did for my nephew's album, of him and his mum.

Quite a quick layout but Im pleased with how it turned out.

I used green watercolour on the background with blue splatters, I layered bits behind the photo and punched out some tiny hearts and hand cut the title love from some patterned paper then added letter stickers and journalling.

Flower Festival

It's a double! It's a rare occurrence lately but sometimes you just have so many lovely photos from one event it has to be done!

When I went to Madeira's Flower Festival a couple of years ago it was so bright and colourful I took hundreds of photos, I was really pleased with lots of them. It was really hard to pick just these and actually I think I could probably do another double layout with more!
I wanted the photos to shine so left the layout quite simple, using  a couple of stencils to pick out the colours, a strip of floral paper (a favourite of mine) to go across the bottom of both pages with a thin ribbon, lovely glittery Thickers and bright flowers at each end to finish.
