Good morning lovelies.

Today it's my turn again to show you how I used my precious "Cheery Lynn Designs"dies. 

This time I made a 8x8 layout again {it's been ages since I did one} using a old picture of my mother in law, she is in her seventies now and on the picture she was just four years old, such a cutie pie...

I ordered some foam from England last week because I saw some lovely flowers made out of them on YouTube...and I have to say I LOVE that stuff.  I am hooked now lol.

Timeless Photograph:   

I cut out the flower dies times four then I used my heat gun to curl my flowers. This layout came out so easily. For the flower centers I used some stamen and a diamond gem on top of that. These papers I used are from such a thick quality that it's really easy to distress it. 

In some of the dies I left the cut out bits and pieces because I really think shabby chic is all about that.  The word stickers are inked with white ink and I added a treat underneath the picture. In my flower clusters I added some cheesecloth.


  I really adore how much depth the flowers have with the foam & dies I used wow. I am totally going to make more flowers with my Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies on my next projects so keep a close eye on this amazing blog.

Good morning everyone. 

It's time for the Tuesday girl {lol} and this time I'd like to share another 8x8 layout I made!

This time I used the pretty "Mon Amour" collection by Graphic 45 for a change, it's a really romantic collection to work with. That means I needed a romantic picture so I used a picture of my handsome hubby and me kissing. When our son saw me working on it he said oelalala sexy picture mommy ;-)

I used a lot of layers on this layout!

Forever Mine: 

This weeks challenge is about thank you for me that also reverse to being thankful and I am very thankful for the love my husband and I have together. He is my soulmate and I could not wish for anything more. For the background of my picture I used the Dutch Daisy Boutique I thought that was very appealing because we live in The Netherlands.
And for the banner in the middle of my page I cut up the outer die of the Royal Scandinavian Boutique  to make a border and for the centers of my flowers I used a diamond gem but for two of them I used a vintage screw brand {which are my favorite pieces to used as flower centers}.
