Love LO

So after my last post about the importance of including journalling and capturing memories I was struck by inspiration to create a 'just-pretty' LO. Yep, no journalling, not even a date, because I don't know when or where this photo was taken. :) Ben says he clearly took the photo as I always get a look of intense concentration of my face when I try to take selfies. Anyway, it was fun to play with glitter and try the confetti technique which seems to be taking off at the moment.


As always, I was inspired by a couple of different challenges for this LO. Firstly was the Scrapmatts April challenge which was to use scrapmatts products as a stencil or a mask. I was lucky enough to win the March challenge and ordered this great heart frame as part of my prize. I have also used the Scrapmatts topiary tree which is one of my favourite designs and some hearts which came from the class kit extras. 


Punky Scraps challenge #47 was a sketch challenge. Initially I wasn't too excited by it as it was a bit too minamalist for my taste but I think it's turned out quick nicely with the extra background details.


Lastly, Show Us Your Stuff had this adorable inspiration picture. I've clearly gone with the colour scheme as my inspiration. I'm using the journalling tags as my hand-made embellishments.
