The Scrapbook Garden - Smile Jaqi

This is my 1st design for the Scrapbook Garden kit 4

This month each designer has a weeks showcase , one

item each day and this week is my week so there will be a post each day to

show the pages ive made with this months kit.

I started with this gorgeous 12 x 12 Glitz Design Afternoon Muse

paper named Polka .

The colours are gorgeous my photo doesnt do it justice.

I had the idea to use only half of the paper

i took some Bazzill French Vanilla 12 x 12 cardstock

and layed some sequin waste down one side.

I used a double width to create a wider area.

I joined it so that it made a pattern down between the 2 layers

if you want a continuous pattern you need to lay the sequin waste

up a hole so that it runs alternate dots when finished.

I used a selection of distress inks in colours that blended

with the polka paper

Next i added my polka paper

I coloured some thickers letters with distress ink

and added some stickles glitter glue to give it a little sparkle

I used a card form my own stash with 'Happy times'

on it but added some thickers flowers coloured

in the same way as the title

I stamped a doll border on some french vanilla cardstock

using one of the distress inks id used to colour the

sequin waste, i used this to tie in the fact i have a doll in my hand

in the picture.

I punched out a few flowers and inked those also

I cut my journalling slighlty shaped as i

thought it helped to soften it on such a pastel layout

And thats it ........

Im really please with it, as always lovely papers to work with

and the colours were fab.

Why not pop over to the Scrapbook Garden and have a look at the range of

papers  and other goodies they are lovely.

Once again Thank you for stopping by and I hope you are able top pop

back each day this week and see what else ive been up too.
