Scrapbook Challenges sketch 430

Here it is!! My first full blog on a layout challenge. I chose to do the Scrapbook Challenge sketch 430 which i have made into a double page layout using a mixture of Heidi Swapp and Kaszazz products.

Products used:
Kaszazz white SB Essentials cardstock
Kaszazz Eiffel Tower Stamp
Heidi Swapp Project Life Glitter stars
Heidi Swapp Project Life gold foil 3x4 card
Heidi Swapp Project Life color magic wood word "smile"
Heidi Swapp Memory Planner 3x3 and 2x2 cards
Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic- Sparkle paper- teal chevron side
Eiffel Tower washi tape
Dear Lizzy Thickers- Primrose Foil Letters

I decided to do my daughters 14th birthday photos. She was wearing a teal top so i chose the teal chevron paper from the sugar chic collection. I really wanted to be able to use a mixture of ranges as i needed to challenge myself to mix and match a bit more so i also went through my HSPL and new Memory Planner rangers to find coordinating embellishments.


After the embellishment problem was solved i then decided to get messy and do some color shine flicking on my page

The girls that were at my house had a good laugh watching me cringe every time i gave the tube a flick to get the splatters on my page. After i had all the elements together on the page and i had cleaned up i found that the white sections looked a bit empty so out come the color shine again and away i went this time with a bit more vigor and freedom as i was over the worry of it not looking right. I also coloured the wood word after forgetting to do it the first time round.

As I added the last few touches with the washi tape I decided to use the gold foil thickers i purchased while away on holiday in Melbourne which added the finishing touch it needed.
Other than the journaling which i will add later I was happy with the end result so now im off to start on the next sketch challenge. Keep checking in for my next installment :)
