Face Paints + Lots of Costumes =



Ruth invited us around for a fish and chip tea, once we had eaten the girls went to play in Georgia's room!!! Here is the result, got to love the imagination of children!!!

Quite happy with it, expect for the mermaid, when I was drawing her I left the pen on the page a touch too long, so she has got huge lips, LOL

The hardest part of this was sticking the sequins under the word Mermaid, thought I was going to go crazy, used Anita's Tacky Glue! Wanted the effect of fish scales. I think I manged it.

This layout actually took me 3 nights to complete, even though there isn't much on the page. The words took ages to draw in, and then the little hand drawn pictures took awhile, and my lovely sequins took forever!

I added some more smaller pics of the outfits the girls put together on the back of the journal tag!

There are more photos of the girls on Ruth's Blog, if you want to have a nosey!!!

I have entered it in two challenges
Doodle - Twist - Doodle your title, all the words on this page have been hand written along with all the little pictures.

Multi pic
There are 4 pics on the main page and a further 3 on the journal tag behind the main photo!

Thanks for looking!

Not too happy with this!



The journaling reads:
First photos with your family, we had to wait an extra 2 weeks to meet you!

I have done this layout for a colour challenge with a twist!
To use 75% white and the twist 3 groups of 3!
To me there is a lot more white, than any colour. There are 3 flowers, with 3 brads and 3 bits of thread on the title!

I used Jo Sonja's background colour for underneath the overlay title, (I was too lazy to get my white acrylic paint out, its buried underneath so much stash!)

I then used opal dust on the 3 flowers just to add some bling, 2 heart flat clips, used my poky tool to poke 3 holes in the top overlay and thread 3 pieces of thread through, a name plaque for the date and 3 brads in the middle of the flowers!

Supply list
Papermania pink card stock
Flavia baby overlay and name plaque
Making memories Cheeky Flat Clips
Craft Accessories Brads
Jo Sonja's Background colour and opal dust
2 flowers stripped down form silk flowers
1 flower stripped from a hula necklace
And a black pen!

I can also include this in "We love flowers", challenge there is a twist in this as well, we had to alter the flowers. As I said above I painted opal dust on them!

I don't like how this layout turned out, it's one that will go in Aimee's album, but probably be redone at a later stage! Also is one of those that doesn't photograph well, too much shiny stuff!!!
