My Wedding Inspired Mosaic Art piece.

Holy smokes it's been a year since I last posted. I haven't really done all that much either LOL!
Here are some more Wedding Layouts I have done for my friend's album. I am finally finished it and remembered to take pictures of them all.
This frist layout started as an idea in my head. This is my favorite couple picture of Jody and Gord. When I first saw it, I knew I wanted to do a mosaic of sort around it. It it me a loooong time to do. First off, I sketched out a couple of ideas on paper and started to collect the mosaic pieces. I purchased them all at Michael's. Since they were quite expensive ($5.99) I used a 40% off weekly coupon to buy most of them, so it took a few months to get them all. I think I used 10 packs.

I am entering this LO in the following challenges:
Totally Gorjuss-Holiday Challenge- Include a Sunny Scene
Creatalicious Challenges- Anything Goes

Ingredients:
Crystal Stickers Mosaics by Mark Richards in Many colours
Background paper- Cloud 9 Designs ( I think I've had this paper in my stash for 10 years)
CTMH Pacifica CS.
Stickles to fill in some spaces between mosaic pieces.

Hope you'll stop by again to see more wedding layouts.....
Happy Scrappin!

The Making of a Princess

Happy Sunday everyone. It is over-cast here. Not like yesterday which was scorching and was spent outside. Got a lot of weeds pulled in my flower beds. They are coming together nicely. I stopped by Extra Foods to look at their annuals. Poor pathetic looking plants. They are long past due for a transplanting. I didn`t pick any up however since it was just William and I with his wagon. Picked up some really cute "CARS" gardening gloves for William though.

On to my Layouts. This is another layout from my 20 page workshop. I took the time this morning to take pics of all of the dominican ones I have finished so far. Hopefully William will let me get a few posted. We`ll see....

The Making of a Princess:

Materials Used were.....

 Close To My Heart: Magnifique PP and Stckease, Clear Sparkles, Spray Pen with Create-a-Shade Pearl Paint and Chocolate, Lagoon re-inkers.

Making Memories: "Making" letters

Cricut: for all the rest of the letters

Thanks for stopping by. Happy Scrapping.

Another Dominican Layout

Hello. "Better late than never, unless you missed the whole show." Is my motto. I have had this layout done since my last post, but have not been on the internet much since my family moved to another place in town. And sadly, we've been moved almost a month and my scrapbook room is still stacks here and there, my desk is not set up, and no shelves on the wall either.  On the days that there is actually no rain I have been too busy outside with another LOVE of mine- flower beds. You should see the shape these are in. I think they grew over a few years ago! But I am looking forward to getting them cleaned out and my own plants in them.

So onto another Dominican Republic layouts:

These are my favorites of Jody and her son Chase.

Have you ever tried to find Purple and Orange paper that is not Halloween themed??

I'm telling you, not much- if any out there. Not to match these photos anyhow.

Her bouquet was birds of paridise and some local (Dominican) Cream coloured Flowers. I haven't looked up their name yet. Birds of Paradise were also hard to find scrapbooking wise, so I pieced these together myself.

Materials Used: Close To MY Heart-Stamps (Believe Lower and Uppercase, and Cherished Flourishes)

Ribbon Slide.

All the paper used was misellaneous courtesy of my assorted CS bin.

The quote was a rub-on from--( will find out soon)

The orange bling is from--(will find out soon)

And ribbon is from my sister's stash and Walmart.

I am entering this Layout in the following challenges:

• Simon Says Stamp And Show- a WORD!- Stamp a word on your project.
• Paperplay Challenges- Anything but a Card
• paper-crafting journey- Anything Goes
• Rubys Rainbow- Flowers
• Deep Ocean Challenge Blog- Flowers

Keep on Scrappin'
