Shine - "Scrap Around the World" August challenge

Hi there everyone,

I just can't believe that August is here

and soon it will be Christmas....(only 4 months away)

where does the time go!!!!!.....

Today I am sharing a layout based on the mood board and sketch from the
SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD challenge for August.

Here is my layout

titled, SHINE

The journalling written on the side is based on the song by Vanessa Amorosi's song with the same title, SHINE.

"Nothing last forever but you can try.

Look all around YOU, Everyone you see,

Everyone you know, is going to SHINE."

"Including you -

Grow up and make the best of

what you got!"

The photo in my layout is of my DD,

the sun was just shining on her head

at the moment I took this photo of her, in the park.

I have been meaning to scrap this

photo for a long time, and now I have.

With a little inspiration from the wonderful sketch 

I also picked 2 of the photos for inspirational colours.

I picked the bottom left hand corner photo and 

the photo on the top right hand photo, 
with the glittery and lacey

hair pieces in the hair.

I added glitter to the chipboards and with
the soft pastels flowers, texture paste and paint
I created my Shine layout.


Materials used:
Imaginarium Design chipboard clock & alphas
Kaisercraft Base coat paper & Leaf stencil.
Prima leaves, flowers and beaded flourish.

Vintage Chocolate Box

Hi everyone, 

Today I have project created for my Meg's Garden Design Team for this month, it is a chocolate box 
with the Elements papers from Meg's Garden and 

New paper collection Dreaming in the Meadows

 Meg's Garden website

Firstly, I ate the chocolates.....yummy.....
then I covered the top and bottom of the box with 
dusty pink coloured card stock, 
which I embossed with a Couture Creations embossing folder.
I applied white Distress Paints on the embossed cardstock. 
It looks and feels like velvet.

On the top of the box I decorated it with
German Scrap border on the each edge. 
Then I glued some German scrap border on the each end.
I apply glossy accents to the chipboard frames and placed
some German Glass Glitter and tea stained fragments. 
I placed a paper Doily and a Vintage Beauty Image
inside the glittery frame.

I adhered two Organza Lace in dusty pink and green 
at each end and a 
transparent Butterfly for an extra touch.

Around the edges I covered with the newest paper collection
Dreaming in Rose paper , some German Scrap
To finish and close this 
box with a Striped satin Ribbon - Brown and latte colour 

Inside the box I covered it with
French Cinema Elements paper from the

Elements Packs available also from 
Meg's garden website. 
Then I decorated on the edges with small
 paper Doily and German Scrap

Inside the box is a Vintage Beauty tag and a little note book
and matching pen. These are made from the new papers 
Dreaming in the Meadows paper - Dreaming in Mulberry & Dreaming in Lavendar

The materials I have used on the tag are 

Viola Pansy violet 
Vintage Beauty Image

paper Doily

Striped satin Ribbon - Brown and latte colour 
5cm white lace

The notebook and covered pen is made with the
Dreaming in Mulberry paper
Cornsilk flower
Elements for the Paris cover
