The painting in this layout is The Blue Alice by Australian artist Charles Blackman.
Scrap Our Stash is asking to see paper doilies for their Birthday Challenge #2. I used a small cafe-sized doily and added some stitching; it was a nice contrast against my Glimmer Mist background, and it also provided a backing for my shimmery title:
On the topic of shimmery things - I used lots more bling for Craft Hoarders Anonymous Challenge #4 - Show some sparkle, glitz or glam:
I used some very old Making Memories alphabet stickers which I've been hoarding for ummm... maybe 6 years?? There were also some hearts and flowers on the sheet so I used up some of those as well. The bling on a roll is one of my very latest acquisitions, only part of my stash for about a week!
Materials:
Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden - Dragonflies patterned paper
Basic Grey Vagabond patterned paper
Cuttlebug D'vine Swirls embossing folder
Making Memories Shimmer Alpha - Silver stickers
Pink Paislee Fetching alphabet stickers
Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist - Blue Denim
Darice Bling on a Roll - silver
Martha Stewart Floral Lace border punch
Handmade flowers by me
