Celebrate

Morning All.

Tania here with you today and can I just say WOW!  Can't believe we are in December and this is our last challenge for the year.

What a great challenge....who doesn't love a sketch?  Thanks Lynn :)

And your only other requirement for this challenge is that you also include the word/s - "Celebration", "Congratulations" or "Fun" on your Layout.

Below is my take on the challenge:

Firstly I would like to say a huge thank you to Jo for all the gorgeous DT kits I have received each month and this month has been no exception.  In my kit I was given the gorgeous Graphic 45 "Time to Celebrate" Collection to work with.  Just love the gorgeous colours of this range.  The photo I have used on my LO is of my beautiful daughter's 8th Birthday last year.

I started my layout by firstly adding some texture paste through a Kaiser stencil, once dry I randomly sprayed it with Heidi Swapp Colour Shine Sprays and to add some extra texture I dropped some of the colour on using the nozzle.  Once dry I randomly stamped one of Kaiser's texture stamps over my page.  I also received some gorgeous doilies in my kit so I used one of these under the photo.  I have used some Stickers from Kaiser's "Hello Today" Collection and placed them around the outside of my photo.  I finished the layout by fussy cutting some flowers from the "Time to Celebrate" papers and then added these to the flower clusters.  The Manor House flowers I received in my kit were just perfect, and I also added some Kaiser Mini Paper Blooms.  The last little touch was a Pearl Flourish from Flourish With A Bling (which I cut in half)  and some Kaiser Pearls randomly scattered around my page.

I had so much fun playing along with Lynn's challenge I hope you can join in the fun too.  And just a reminder all the gorgeous products I have used on my Layout are all available from Jo's store Scrapbookit. 

As this is my last post before Christmas, I would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and hope that you all get spoilt rotten (hopefully lots of craft goodies).

Until next time, happy crafting and thanks for stopping by.
