LOC In my Heart

I am so loving scrapbooking at the moment, funny how we go on runs and I am loving this one....I was so inspired by the Inspiration Challenge on SCS, you can see what inspired me here and had to bring out the Layers of Colour images, which I LOVE using with Scrapbooking.


The DP with the circle cut out is leftover from the page I did for my DH's birthday, I saved it from our Scrapbooking Class (thanks Ann), which worked well for this layout!  My DD1 is not a 'girly girl' but definitely feminine, so my challenge was to use flowers but no to go 'frilly' and horrify her - what do you think!?!  I used a page from one of the old Hymnals that I was given by 'our friend Jack' and distressed it with a light touch of sponging, this was layered onto a small piece of DP that has had an adorable fence added, using the Martha Stewart Fence Punch (thanks Pat)and some of the fabulous wood grain from McMahon Five Designs.


The flourish is from a pack I picked up from 'Hot Dollar' I painted it with Tattered Angela Glimmer Mist in Sand - painting it is less messy when I am being lazy (LOL) and sponged the edges with Distressing Ink and added a Chickadee from the Layeres of Color art stamp set Backyard Birds.  The Chickadee and all other images, have been coloured with Chalks and had Kindy Glitz added, it is popped up onto foam dots to sit on the swirl.


This sweet little sparrow has also been popped up on foam dots and layered onto the DP and music.


The layered flowers have been sponged with Distressing Ink and attached to the DP, I have added butterflies from the Butterfly Collector art stamp set and popped their wings up with foam tape, which is not as high as the dots.  The sentiment is from Autumn Leaves, I love the ticketed look and am going to be adding sentiments to my layouts more - I just love Ingvild'sBlog and have been inspired by her art - FABULOUS!!


This sentiment is also from the Butterfly Collector set, I have sponged around the edges.

Phew - there you go!  Thank you for making your way down to the end of this longer post, but I wanted to show you all of the details - I did try to keep the chatter down though - do you know how hard that is for me!! LOL!

I am also linking this to the following challenges:
Pile It On - Flowers
Cute Card Thursday - All you Need is Love

Stampin' Sisters In Christ - God Loves You - I would love this layout to be a reminder to my DD1 of her heart for God at this tender age and His love for her, as she grows up and finds her way in life, it is my hope that as she looks back to her childhood, she would be reminded of her faith, our faith and the Love God has for her, that it never changes and is new every morning...and that it is real for her each day and will always remain - 'in her heart!'

Thanks you for looking and for your fabulous comments - I love seeing that you have been - you make my day and make me smile!  Love it!  Weekends go past too fast, I hope you are enjoying yours, it is Valentine's Day here and WET - perfect!  Happy Valentine's Day to you all - make sure you tell those you love how important they are to you - if they are nearby, give them a big hug - don't be shy!  LOL!  God bless you!

  1. Linda this is a gorgeous layout. I love the colours you have used to spell out Bronte's name, the little bird sitting on the end of the flourish and all your beautiful flowers. All the fabulous details just point out how much thought and love has gone into your creation.
    Hope your having a great day!

  7. Linda, I LOVE your page so much!! I need to start doing more pages of my precious girls. I just LOVE your distressing and those gorgeous birds and flowers!! I was wondering if you could actually punch a fence out of the wood paper with a MS border punch such as this but was too chicken to try...thought it would break my punch! GREAT to see that it won't *Ü*

    Your daughter is so beautiful and I think it's truly wonderful that you are spurring on in the faith and scrapping it too! She must be so proud of her mum!! Happy Valentine's Day to you!!

  24. Linda, this is just so amazing and perfect from your description of DD1 -- it is delightfully full of beautiful detail but yet not too girly-girly. Thanks for taking the time to show every little specialty you've added to this. Awesome!
