UK Scrappers Weekly Challenge - April Wk 4

This week's challenge was set by the Norty Crew. The challenge was use to a Beatles song title - 10pts, either black & white or red,white & blue - 10pts, ribbon, a tree or a weaving technique - 10pts.

I have done this in digi using the Lottie Dottie kit by Amy Sumrall from the Digi Chick shop. I made the photo frame from a paper and added some stitching and outline. I put some elements together to make the flowers and tree. I have added other various elements from the kit such as the birds, the ribbon and the alphas to make the title and then put outline borders on them to make them more defined.

My Year - 30th April - Holding Hands

I am really struggling for inspiration for these daily photos and so I thought I would combine today's photo with one that I need for the UKS weekly challenge. This is me and my daughter Zoe holding hands. Look at the difference in our skin tones - she takes after Daddy.

My Year - 29th April - Nina Ricci

This is my favourite perfume of all time. It is Apple by Nina Ricci. It has a lovely fruity smell and comes in a fantastic apple shape bottle. I always get a bottle for Christmas.

My Year - 28th April - Cacti

I have had this bowl of cactus for years. It started off having 3 different cacti in the bowl. I have had to replace one and that one has now died too. But the remaining two are doing really well and have probably doubled in size in the last year.

My Year - 27th April - A lovely pear

In the continuation of my healthy eating plan, this is one of the things that I really enjoy. A lovely juicy pear. This one looked so photogenic.

SLYMI - Week 17 - Layers and Lace

Shimelle said "This week's challenge is to create a layout using lace and layers! Build up your page creating lift with sticky pads, adding bulkier embellishments and revealing hidden layers. So this isn’t a flat layout, it's very tactile, three-dimensional and using layer upon layer.And don’t forget to add a little lace somewhere on the page!"

I have used my Total Papercrafts April kit to create this layout - perfect for lots of layers. I didn't have any lace so cheated and so used some lace tape.

My Year - 26th April - Zoe gone mad

Zoe has had a shower tonight instead of a bath and she has gone really silly and mad. She is racing around like a mad man. We cannot get her to calm down. Daddy has had to carry her off to dry her hair.
