Swirlydoos March Swirlyhues Entry

Hi everyone,

Well i'll admit to being a little tardy with this latest layout. While it was meant to be my entry for the March Swirly hues Competition over at Swirlydoos i kind of missed the deadline, what with the birth of my nephew and the relaying of the carpet in the main living areas of the house. For a good two weeks there, there was no access to the scrap area to actually rescue the page to finish it. Now that a lot of the chaos is over its time to reveal the finished layout!

March Swirly Hues Entry using the March Swirlydoos Kit

The March Kits was just fantastic to work with!! And those new prima 30 flower packs are just brilliant one of my favourite prima products to date i think. They are so versitile can be pulled apart and contain such a range of colours there is now always just the perfect flowers for any job all in the one pack. Congrats Prima and such a fantastic new product.. 

Now the colour scheme for the march challenge was Brown, Green and an Orange colour. The photo of the old trestle bridge was taken up in Noojee, Victoria Australia (hence the title relics of the past) Noojie is famous for its amazing restaurant and accommodation called The Outpost Retreat. Now if you are looking for a calm relaxing weekend getaway, this lace is an absolute gem. The food is just amazing and tucked away in semi rainforest, semi outback conditions it really is worth spending some time at. If you are just up in the area for a day, drop into the outpost grill, restaurant, and bar. As i have said the food is just amazing, and really really well priced. 

Now back to this page!!

The title has been (for want of the correct word which is currently eluding me) roughed up with the new Invild Bolme Craft Tool, and then inked around the sides with another new product, the gathered twigs, seasonal ink release from Tim Holtz, in order to get that murky older kind of look to it.  

Tucked away in the top right corner is a little prima birdcage and a little header tag made from Tim Holtz distress paper inked with a walnut distress stain, and then covered with a small diecut prima tag and the words Noojie 2012 have been added with the new Prima mini alphabet stickers. 

Overall the layout is simply brimming with Prima, Petaloo, Tim Holtz, Martha Stewart, and a little bo bunny goodness thrown in there for good measure.  

And finally on the left hand side the Roses have been cut and stamped with the bella rose collection of dies and stamps from Heartfelt Creations and then water coloured again with the new Distress Markers from Tim Holtz and Ranger.

I must also add here, there is no way i would have attempted this water colouring if it hadn't been for the commitment and teaching provided by Tim Holtz in his Creative Chemistry 101 Class. I just wanted to acknowledge Tim and what i had learned from his class.

If you have any questions please drop me a comment.

Thanks for dropping by.    

Introducing my Nephice - Cody James

After what seems like an eternity of waiting for me, finally last monday my gorgeous little Nephew (Cody James) entered the world. The Squishy Wishy little man wasn't really quite ready to join us but after some complications arose he was induced and is now safe and sound in Mum and Dads arms.

Congrats to my amazing Sister and her fantastic husband (my brother in law) Even though my BIL had a few hard moments to deal with himself, His Strength of character has proven to be just what the pair both needed and we are all so proud of the way they have both coped without the benefits of family help and mainly on their own.

So without further adieu here is a pic of the little man himself. Welcome Cody i cant wait to begin to get to know you little nephew!

 

Thanks for stopping by!
