Cousins

Back to some layouts for our Sydney 2014 album - I've almost finished the birthday party/family shots!

This layout was inspired by several different challenges.  I started with the sketch from Scrap our Stash, using some gold:



I used shades of purple for the inspiration challenge #10/2015 at Scrapbook Fantasies.  Purple is still not my favourite colour to scrap with, but I'm not so intimidated by it anymore.

I followed the criteria for the March challenge at Funky Flairs:



* Colour of the month: GOLD {I used glitter cardstock}
* Add any FUNKY FLAIR {I used a button from the Chalkboard set}
* Include embossing {I used Cuttlebug - Jamara embossing folder}

01/05/2015 - Sharing my layout at the Paper Issues {Chalk One Up} linky party. Love this chalkboard flair!
