Something old, something new, something borrowed, something BLUE!!

This month at "Scrap the Girls" the challenge is to be inspired the good old saying...

"SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE"
So I decided to find one of my wedding photos and have a go at scrapping it!

It was quite ironic actually because I had printed this butterfly to use on a canvas a few months ago and every time I clean up I considered throwing it ! But each time I just added to the pie of bits and pieces on my desk and when I saw this challenge I knew straight away how I could use it!!
So the main aspect of this saying that inspired me was the BLUE part!!! LOL!

Thanks for popping by, Eb xx

Therapy....

Lately  have been feeling extremely low. I feel stressed, worried and just am constantly hard on myself. I really am my own worst enemy.
But yesterday I scrapped. I scrapped photos of me ( yes I've scrapped them before but not in this way). I used my page as reminder to myself, or therapy I guess. I used it to get down what I was feeling. I have totally been dwelling on things, overthinking EVERYTHING and getting myself so worked up about things. So this is my page.
I used the prompt on the "Scrap the Girls " challenge for this month to use traditionally masculine colours and embellishmnets  on a feminine page. So here it is.

 Very grungy with some feminine touches. I even pulled out some old metal embellishments that are traditionally great on boy style pages!
The background was actually created a few days ago when Maya was using colour shine to create a book of her own. When she had finished with the masks I then rubbed the excess onto some white cardstock. I LOVED how it turned out!!
It feels good to use up old supplies too.

Always last minute!!!

Once again its a mad dash to blog the layouts I have created for various challenges this month!!  At least I'm consistent! LOL!
This layout is based on the colour challenge/mood board at Sassy Scrappers.
I loved these colours so I created my layout mostly inspired by the colours!

Lot's of watercolour paints and mists mixed with stitching and stamping and another piece from the 2 Crafty chipboard circular panel.

The next one is also a colour challenge this time for Scrap Friends......

Once again a background full of watercolour dripped down white cardstock, washi tape, and stamping not only with ink but embossed with gold embossing powder! the gold rub ons and glitter stars are all Studio Calico.

Thanks for stopping by and for your generous comments. Eb xx
