Wedding Season

Hiya!
Well as its wedding season and I can't share with u what I've been making until they've been sent out, I thought I'd share some more scrap layouts from my baby sisters gorgeous wedding! Still can't believe it's 3 years ago! Time flies!

This first one is 12x12 and uses some scrummy Cosmo Cricket papers (is it just me or has there never been a range of Cosmo Cricket papers that aren't stunning?)... (Love the sentiment!)
Hearts were cut on the trusty Cricut machine...

An 8x8 layout this time using some leftovers from a papermania page kit...
K & Co this time, coupled with a pink felt tip pen, a glue pen & some glamour dust! (Can't believe how little Daisy looks in this one!)
Ok, I think thats about as much love & romance I can take for one day ;-) Every girl could use some more romance in their life, but when all ur doing is scrapping it and writting about it it gets a wee bit depressing!
Right off to take solace in a chocolate bar!
Have a fab day everyone!
Keep Smiling...

Wedded Bliss

Evening all!

Was writing down the date at work today and suddenly realised it's my baby sisters 3rd wedding anniversary! Doh! As luck would have it I started a mini book with some wallet size black and white prints a few months ago that, typically, I never got around to finishing! So a quick hour on it and it was done and delivered, and on top of that I looked like I was super organised! Here's some pics of the cover and just a few of the pages on the inside to give you an impression of how it lookes (there were too many pages to post them all!)

The papers are a really pretty range by Cosmo Cricket.
Carrying on the wedding theme here's a layout I did for my mum's album...really simple but really effective...didn't want to detract from the gorgeous pic!


Cannot believe this was 3 years ago already! Was an amazing day from start to finish! Will try and blog some more of the scrapbook pages tomorrow!
As always stay safe & keep smiling!
Take care
Ruth

A Trio of Challenges & More!

Well its been a busy old day at Flawless Designs today! Started with a class this morning. We were using Creative Cardmaking Issue 17 which featured some STUNNING papers from Craftwork Cards. As I was making class samples anyway I thought I would tie this in with some of the sketch challenges around at the moment so here is what I've come up with...

This one is the Dutch Dare Card Challenge and is a sort of envelope pocket card...
This one is the 2 sketches 4 you challenge...
And the final sketch challenge from Card Positioning Systems...

Here's a wee craftak swap card I made with some of the little scraps, I just think this is really cute! Daisy is still loving the Craftrak swap and managed to make 13 cards for sending yesterday!!! She is putting me to shame!
And last but not least one I made just for fun!
When I look back over these pics I realise I was a busy girl this morning! The other excitememnt of the day so far is that we got some brilliant decoupach blanks and papers in, as well as the range of copic 5 packs!! Never used Copics before as we have only stocked pro markers up unti now but will try and have a play soon and report back!
Right supermarket for me now, and then some wedding invitations to make - no rest for the wicked as they say!
Take care & keep smiling!
