Big Love

I was absolutely thrilled to be asked to Guest Design for the lovely Denise at Scrap Africa this month!! The post is up on the blog at the moment... There are loads of wonderfully talented ladies there too, who would love to hear from you, I'm sure...

The theme was to use hearts as your main accent - so much fun! I took this 'selfie' of my kids and I on a recent trip to Sea World. The colour from the enormous tank already gave the photo a great colour, which I just tweaked it a bit.

I wanted to do something a bit different, so I tried splitting the photo into three sections, tucking the pieces into some cuts I had made in the Studio Calico 'Hey Day' patterned paper. I've also tucked a couple Kaisercraft Wooden Heart flourishes into the slits in the paper.

My Cameo and I are such great mates... How gorgeous is this little playing card! You can grab it at the Silhouette store.

I've used another Kaisercraft 'Love' flourish and kept it 'natural', to tie-in with the woodgrain in the paper.

A little love letter to my children is tucked into an Amy Tangerine vellum envelope. The paperclip die-cuts are from the Silhouette store.

Products used: Studio Calico Hey Day pp, White acrylic paint, Amy Tangerine 'Ready Set Go' vellum envelopes, Silhouette Store die cuts, Kaisercraft Wooden flourishes and Cardstock Alphas, Elle's Studio tag, Photo corners, Dear Lizzy Neapolitan sticker

I also wanted to thank you all so much for your lovely comments - they really make my day!
