Floral Birthday Card

Hi all 

Today is new challenge day over at Scrapping4FunChallenges and this months challenge theme is 

 and is sponsored by Ikesart

For this challenge I have used the lovely Flower Square. So here is what I have been busy doing for this challenge.

As you can see the Flower Square digi I have used I have cut into sections and staggered it onto the card.

To make this card I used the following products:

Flower Square Digi

Stampin' Write 2017-2019 in-colour Markers 

Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper

Everyday Label Punch

Better Together Stamp Set (Sentiment)

Basic Black card stock 

5x7 Card Blank

Paper Snips

Stampin' Trimmer

Tombow Glue

Stampin' Dimensionals

I really enjoyed colouring this image, and it can look so different coloured in different combinations and used in different ways. 

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my inspiration piece and it gives you lots of ideas for this challenge. 

I can not wait to see your entries in this months challenge.

Birthday Boy

Hello All

Today is a scrapbook layout share. This is another I have been itching to share with you all as the products I have used on this piece are from the Kaisercraft Factory 42 Range.

The moment I saw this range I fell in love with it and was so happy to see that it was part of our Crop Kit for August YAY!

So here is the layout, which I did do while at the Crop. As soon as I saw what was included in our kit I knew straight away what layout this was perfect for.

This layout is of my wonderful hubby to be on his 30th Birthday, the reason I wanted to use this range for this layout is because he is a mechanic. Yes his birthday cake was a Top Gear cake :D

Now for some close up pictures of different parts of the layout

Birthday Boy tucking in to his cake, the sticker i put onto this picture fitted so well and is so true "a party without cake is just a meeting"

I have to admit this has got to be one of my favourite layouts out of all the ones I have done so far. The kit which we had at the crop was supplied by Charmed Cards and Crafts and I have to say it has been my favourite kit to date.

This really does have a steampunk mechanical feel to it and it fits my hubby to be so so well, and I reckon I will be ordering more of these papers and embellishments. Can never have enough Steampunk/Mechanical goodies ;)

I hope you have enjoyed seeing this layout and it inspires you.
