Whispers of the Sea - BITW & Funtoolas Giveaway

Hi there everyone, I have been so busy here with school holidays lately but I decided to play at at 
"Bird is the Word" 
the challenge word for this  month is WHISPER .

I am going to try to do more challenges from BITW this year, well thats the plan anyway!!
  

All you have to do is use the new word in the title of your layout

also they have a sketch for inspiration

 but you don't have to use it.

I have used the sketch from FUNTOOLAS instead

so here is my layout

"Whispers of the Sea" 

"I have found that if you love life, LIFE will love you right back", 

This is the quote on the bottom of my layout. The papers I have used are from Kasiercraft. 

The cloud ( painted gesso and added white glitter and word alphas-'Sea' are chipboards from 

Imaginarium Designs.

I dabbed paint splashes around the page,(I am lovely this cool blue paint and colour - at the moment) I placed washi tape in background under the photographs, and I cut out diecuts of leaves from patterned Acetate from Kaisercraft. This is another fabulous way to use acetate, this week on the Kaisercraft blog, my Tuesday tip this week is about 

"Using acetate in your projects"

Black & cream cardstock, 
Imaginarium Designs Chipboard word
"Moments in TIME" & " LOVE"

"Walk alongside me, Daddy

and hold my hand.

I have so many things to learn

that I don't yet understand.

Teach me things to keep me safe

from dangers every day.

Show me how to do my best

at home, at school, at play.

Every child needs a gentle hand

to guide them as they grow.

So walk alongside me, daddy -

 We have a long way to go."

I just love this poem about children and their dads.

I had so much fun playing with this Kit from Funtoolas

I still have more paper from this kit so I am 

hoping to create some cards with it before end of month.

Thanks for looking

Cheers Adriana XXX  :)
