YUM
When I first saw this challenge I was a bit daunted as I don't really scrap pics other than family shots. I have to say I really loved how this came out in the end. Used some gorgeous Websters, OA, Teresa Collins & BG pp's and some washi tape which looks fabulous when you scrunch it up. The gorgeous plate and spoon charm embellishment is from Tracy at My2Angels she also has a great variety of Baker's Twine. Pop on over and check out her store for the papers and charms in this LO.
This month at Beyond The Door we are in the kitchen and have a fab inspiration pic for you. Pop on over and check out the gorgeous DT examples.
In addition to taking inspiration from the room, I'd like you to follow this recipe:
1 x photo or picture/drawing of a favourite food/meal/cafe/restaurant
2 x flowers
3 x kitchen related embellishments (e.g. spoons, cups, forks, crockery etc, which can be stamped or die cut or chipboard etc)
plus, I'd like to see some baking twine somewhere on your project.
Once Upon A Sketch - Guest Spot
Last month I was very excited to be chosen as a winner at Once Upon a Sketch and won a fabulous Websters pack. As a winner I also am a Guest Designer for the month. Here is this month's sketch challenge.. go and check out the amazing creations from the DT for some inspiration.. you won't be disappointed!!
Here is my interpretation of the sketch using some gorgeous pp's from Bo Bunny which I grunged up a bit and layered. Still loving hessian at the moment and had to use some to add a bit more texture. The fleur de lis border punch is from EK Success and goes perfectly with vintage inspired pages.
Some Sad News
