You Are So Beautiful To Me

Hellloooo!!!!

Long time no post! LOL! I hope everyone had a lovely Easter however you spent it. And I hope that everyone is enjoying school holidays! We have enjoyed the break, I can't believe it's basically over. Tomorrow is the last day at home then the kids are back to school. And we'll all be counting down till the next holiday's! I love having the kids home, and always miss them when they are gone!

Over the Scrapsidaisy we have been taking part in the the April challenge. I loved the challenge so much that I did two pages! This is the first page I did ... Immi at Mum and Jeff's wedding last year. Her job was to give the rings over during the ceremony, she took the role very seriously! Tay did a beautiful reading of a poem and Nick had the very important job of walking Nanny down the aisle and giving her away!

Anyway, I got a little sidetracked! As I said, this is a layout of Immi. She loved her long pretty dress and I really wanted to do a page showing the detail of the back of it. When I saw the Dusty Attic Bodice I KNEW I wanted to use it with these photo's. The Dusty Attic Candelabra went perfectly as well. For the flowers I knew I couldn't go any further than the exquisit Jules Gems! Of course for any of the yummy Dusty Attic of Jules Gems products head over to scrapsidaisy.com/shop so you don't miss out! I am in total love with both these yummy products!

I used a little Tattered Angels journal card behind the photos, and added ribbon and pearls to the bodice. I gave it a heavy spray of Old Lace Glimmer Mist, oh I love this colour! The 'Beautiful' rub-on is a Crate run-on I got from Scrapsidaisy quiet a while ago and had hiding in my stash!

And don't you just love the TPC Studio Ancestral range .... YUMMY!!!!!!!!

The second page I did for the challenge is following this post ... so I will let you head to that now!!!!!!!

I Hope You Dance

This is the 2nd page I did for the April Challenge over at Scrapsidaisy! The title is a song by Lee Ann Womack and has what I think is a beautiful message for your children, and what you would hope and wish and dream for them for their future.

I have used a piece of TPC Studio Ancestral PP (I was lucky enough to get my hands on 2 sheets of the TPC pp when it came into Scrapsidaisy a few weeks ago!). I knew I wanted to do something 'vintage' but wasn't sure what until this challenge came up and I knew I wanted to use these papers. I have also used a Dusty Attic piece in the top left corner, the chandelier. These products are SOOO yummy, I just love everything about them. You can get your hands on some of the yumminess that is Dusty Attic over at Scrapsidaisy (scrapsidaisy.com/shop). (Forgive me I still haven't worked out how to attach a link as yet!)

I didn't have the 'perfect' flower for this corner, and I KNEW there was one of the exquisit 'Jules Gems' that would be perfect at Scrapsidaisy BUT I was too impatient to wait till Monday so I made my own flowers and am really happy with how they turned out! I love the little clock that I shrinky dinked when I was experimenting weeks ago with Shrinky Dink! It is a Kaiser stamp from their Duchess collection! There is also a little Jules Gems flower hiding in there as well!

On the Chandelier I have used Old Lace Glimmer Mist. I inked the flames of the candles with gold ink, painted some gold dust on them and then put a coat of Dimensional Magic on them for a bit of shine. The lace was orginally white so I stained it with tea to get a vintage colour for it.

Thanks so much for looking.

Enjoy what is left of your weekend,

Hel xo
