And another. I've been wanting to scrap this photo for a while, because Goldie was one of our favourite girls. She was very pretty and friendly (and sadly, no longer with us).

I'm sharing this one at:
* Scrap Our Stash ~ Golden Globe challenge
Create a layout about your pet or any other animal... AND include an animal embellishment.
* Dies R Us ~ Birds
* Unstampabelles ~ 1 2 3 challenge
There are no stamps. I used: 1 photograph, 2 flowers, 3 chicks along the base of the photograph... AND share the journey while making your creation.
I built my layout from the bottom up. I started with the background colour - I knew I wanted a dark brown and the Basic Grey was my first choice. Stash-busting old papers is always a bonus! I was leaning towards monochromatic, but I had the floral strip leftover from another project and it seemed to work, so I used it. This is the first time I've used the chicken dies - they were a prize from Unstampabelles. I finished off my layout with a doodled border - I do that a lot on my layouts.
I didn't have any cream cardstock, so I cut the chick embellishments from upcycled cardboard packaging:

Thank you for visiting my blog!
Gorgeous page :) I think the little touch of blue was perfect, and well done with the stash busting too! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Scrap Our Stash!
ReplyDeleteOh my, your layouts make me smile ☺. Until we got chickens on our small hobby farm, I never would have guessed what fun pets they are. I thought that people giving their chickens names was kind of silly. Now mine have names such as Zelda, Mama, Gisele, Summer, Valentine,... I'm now one of those crazy chicken ladies ☺.
ReplyDeleteI love both pages. The light, pretty colours on the first one go really well with the photos. The stitching detail and the flowers are beautiful touches.
The darker background on the second page match your beautiful Goldie. Love the little chick dies, and the pretty flowers. Great job! TFS.
Beautiful page! Love the gorgeous chicken you used! It's amazing how beautiful chickens really are! Thanks for joining our "Birds" challenge at Dies R Us!
