My first sample done for the fantastic Frosted Designs Challenge Blog. I am on one of the Fabulous Friday Teams, and this weeks challenge is to use Kraft on your project.
This is what I did:
When I first saw the layered sticker with the lyrics to “Here Comes The Sun” by George Harrison – I just knew I had to do a layout about how that is my husband’s and my special song for a little boy.
It began when Connor was only a few days old, and I was pacing the hospital room with him screaming, almost delirious from lack of sleep (yes…ALREADY!!) I noticed the sun coming up, and started to sing it to him – it calmed him down, and I quickly learn that singing any sweet toned song to him was calming…. But that song just stuck…
I also couldn’t resist adding some WOW – Words or Whatever chippy to the layout. I’ve used Block Capital Uppercase C1388 as part of my title. I’ve inked it in yellow chalk ink to match.
Here is a closie:
Speaking of WOW – Wendy has another fantastic Inspiration Post up on the Blog.
Here is the layout I did for it:
On this layout I've used the saying "Boys Will Be Boys" C1447. I've embossed the saying with Opals - Lemon Thyme, then added some Yellow Chalk Ink to alter the colours slightly to match.
I've also used Cog Frame Set C819 - Inked with Distress Ink in Chipped Sapphire.
Here is a close-up of the altered chipboard:
This paper range is one of my favourite go-tos at the moment – Echo Park Boy’s Life – just love the bright colours, they are perfect for boy’s pages!
Photos are of Connor in his Pop’s pedal car – genuine vintage that one..lol….
Well, that’s it for me, going to finish my wine, have a shower then play with some paper
Got some BRAND NEW Altamatz from WOW to play with – feeling super lucky, and I’ll share when I’m done!
