NEW FWAB flowers!!

I'm super excited to  to share my first page using the NEW gorgeous FWAB flowers!!  I fell in love with these flowers the very minute I saw them ... they are soft and pretty and oh so easy to add to ANY project!

I wanted to have some fun with this page ... a bit of masking ... a touch of texture paste .... some distressing ... and ripping ....


Just love this photo of my daughter and her cousin.  They love visiting each other!  :)
I've used the beautiful Maddison flowers in Baby Blue and Pink, and the sweet little Elise flowers in Pink and Cream.  I've swiped some Shimmerz over some of the flowers for some extra shine ...


I have also used the FWAB Chloe Pearl Flourish Baby Blue and  Chloe Pearl Flourish Pink, cutting them up to fit around my clusters.


Just love pink and blue together!

That's all from me today, I'll be back soon to share more projects!
Have a great week!

Mood Board Monday | Green

GREEN is the theme for this week's mood board over at Life As We Know It.  There's so many greens around ... I chose to focus on a nice, bright lime green - fresh and summery, just right for this warmer weather we are having :)




1.  Green table setting (just LOVE those big paper lanterns) from Dear Sir.

2.  Lime green geometric handbag / tote bag from Etsy store Made By Nanna.

3.  How fun would cupcakes look in these Lime Green Striped Cupcake Liners from Bake It Pretty?

4.  How pretty are these Lime Green Handmade Rose Spiral Paper Flowers?  Find them at Etsy store Crazy2beCrazy.

5.  OK, I had to have some chevron somewhere!! LOL  How about this little guy! Large Chevron Owl Pillow Lime Green White Nursery Décor from Etsy store Little Side Kick. 

6.  Kyria Rose Lime Green Cushion from Tablecloth shop - loving the design of this! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!!

7.  Gorgeous green and pink cake created by Le Deliziose - yes I like green, but it's even better with pink :) ... this would have to be one of my fav colour combos :)

8.  Lime Green Starburst Washi Tape ... yes, please :) find it at Etsy store Mooseart

Creating these mood boards have been sooo much fun!!  Why don't you play along?  The next theme is NEON!!!  Now, that sounds like FUN :D :D

White with one ...

Yay, it's the weekend! :D
White With 1 ... do you know the challenge blog?  Since I am a little ... colour challenged ... I don't often play along over there ... but this month, I've decided to step outside my little square and challenge myself!  Look out for more challenge entries later!

So, this is the challenge at WW1 this month:

And here is my page ....
I had to go searching for some pistachio!!!

That background mask ... I've had it in my stash for AGES ... and I think that's the second time I've used it!! :D  Lots of other bits and pieces there that have been in my stash for ages too ... so it feels good to use some of them :).  The spotty button is a Burdy's Handmade Embellie (love these) ... and that's a Greatest View badge there too :)

Thanks for visiting!  I hope I get brave enough to play along with WW1 again soon :) :) :)

Sweet baby feet

I shared a sneak of this page a while ago and can't believe I haven't got around to sharing the whole page yet!!  It's one of my Flourish With A Bling DT pages :)

See those sweet baby feet?  They belong to one of my bestie's little girls ... when she was newborn ... aren't they just adorable??   Photo taken by my FAV photographer LaBelle Photographie ...


I’ve used soft, pretty colours and this FWAB Grace Pearl flourish in Mango was just perfect for this colour scheme!


As you can see, I’ve cut up the flourish to place it on either side of my cluster.  (I love cutting flourishes!!!  It's a habit!!)


The eye of the bird sticker is from the FWAB Adhesive Pearls 100 Pack in Red  

If you pop over to the FWAB blog today, you'll see another of my projects :D ... this time using the NEW FWAB flowers!!!   I'd love you to visit and leave a comment :) :)

Here's a little sneak:

And ... being a new month, there's a new FWAB challenge!!  See it HERE :) :)

Happy scrapping!
