Hello everyone, I thought I would show you some scrapbooking I have been doing, this page was started at last month's Scrapbooking Crop so I thought I would actually post it before I head off there again tonight! It is also for the Twisted Sister Challenge for this week, to use DP and distressing - not hard for me at all! LOL! I am early with this weeks challenge, but have a few things happening at the moment with the school holidays here - so am posting early - are you shocked Sistahs!! LOL!
I am trying to get a layout done for each 'event' on our house - well, I was definitely late with this one as it was for my DD2's birthday last month - as you can see by the photo! I used my Layers of Color images: http://www.layersofcolor.com/blog
and set out to create a page that is not 'girly girl! The colours were determined by the gorgeous Basic Grey DP from my friend Melinda (aka Melinda80 on SCS) and the sepia photo.
I did use a bit of symbloism with the clock sticker I had and adding the Layer of Color Beloved Wings, symbolising 'time flying' and it certainly has - this girl is 4cm taller than me and I am fairly tall...it doesn't seem so long ago she was in her pretty little dresses and holding my hand everywhere we went - haven't seen her in a dress for years - apart from school uniform that is!!
I have used a combination of flowers, buttons and brads and added the gorgeous bird - it is only small but makes a BIG difference! Of course it had to have some shimmer happening on those wings, as well as the crown - very fitting for the birthday girl!!

Very well done. I need to start keeping up with the events here or I should say start scrapping them again. Love all the flowers you have layered along your page.
