These are the challenges that inspired my layout, and how:
First, a new challenge for 2016... More Than Words:
The selfie takes centre stage on the layout, I think! {The photograph is a selfie that I took with my daughter at the Brisbane Ekka in August last year. } As for personality, I think the quote sums up mine pretty well. I like the simple things in life. I'm a low-key kind of girl. I'm not into drama. I'm shy, but I love to have fun with my family.
The Shabby Tea Room Winter Wonderland challenge featured this inspiration picture:
I chose predominantly light blue & white papers for my layout, and the photograph features a winter event in my city. {In Brisbane, August usually brings the cold westerly winds, which arrive just in time for Ekka!}
Paper Sweeties January challenge is another inspiration picture:
This picture prompt had me reaching for my washi tape to add the additional aqua colour and some snowflake shaped gems and silver thread to add winter-y elements to my layout:
Materials
Authentique Classique - Elegant One patterned paper
Authentique Journey - Stroll patterned paper
Authentique Favorite diecuts
Washi tape
Prima Say it in Crystals - Flower Centres 5 gems
