Sweet Mona Lisa

Hello!

Back with another UKS challenge lo!! This was for last weeks weekly challenge. The requirements were to use fabric, old stash and make an embellishment.

The Old stash is some PP and chipboard from an old QVC kit. The Fabric is the flower and felt backing to the photo. This is the lo I got the sewing machine onto!!!! I also did some hand stitching too. It's quite a tactile lo with quite a bit of dimension too!

The sweet little girl is my baby sister, we always called her Mona Lisa still do sometimes lol!!

The flower I made using THIS tutorial. It was a bit fiddly with the satin slipping about and my cutting leaves a lot to be desired, well it did keep moving lol!!!

The button I pinched from the C4E kit stash!!! ssshhhh!!!! lol!!

The chipboard flower at the top is 3 chip pieces layered and finished with a flat back gem. You can just about see my stitching too! don't lok too closely lol!!

I am busy getting ready for the C4E crop on Sunday, paper roses and yummy kits!! I love the doing the crop it's a great day the girls are fabulous!! A lot of hard work but worth the effort, loading and un-loading the car is keeping me fit lol!! Better get some cake!!!! lol!!

Thanks for stopping by take care

Best Mates

Hello!

This layout was done for the UKS House challenge. The requirements were to scraplift and use the theme of friendship. The LO I lifted was "Always" by Davinie Fiero and was in the February issue of Scrapbook Trends. This is the first time I've worked with 8.5 x 11" and love it!! So much so I did a second LO in this size for the weekly challenge lol!

The Photo was taken by my mum and is of my boys on a Uphill hill which is near to where we live. I love the bond between the boys, they miss each other when they are at school but fight like cat and dog when they are together!! lol!! I know these two will always be Best Mates!!!

I wanted to add some texture to the lO so used some felt! I covered some chipboard letter, fiddly!! lol! and added some circles to the top of the lo. The PP is K&co Faded china, the patterns in this collection are quite bold so small pieces seem to work well, unless of course you love big and bold lol!! The Paper pads will be available in the store soon! (when I get 5 mins to add them lol!!)
