Beautiful Garden Layout

TGIF Scrappers! :)

Did you have a great week? I was quiet busy this week and I haven't had any time for crafting. But tonight I went on and did a new layout for the MyCreativeSketches November Challenge. I was looking for two matching bw pictures and found some of our garden. Well, it's not really "ours" but from my parents in law :) Anyway, I like these two photos and the garden of my mother in law is really beautiful. She did everything on her own; she even built the little walls all by herself! Well, she did a great job :) 

and here's my take on the November sketch: 

For the background I used Prima payer from the Art Journal Collection. It just looks like real crackle paint! :) I did the bricks with a mask from crafters workshop using some molding paste and acrylic color in soft red. The other papers were some leftovers and are from DCWV the Mariposa collection. 

The fence die was from MemoryBox. It's very delicate and was little bit difficult to cut. The alphas are from Authentique. 

Oh my gosh, I did here some fuzzy cutting which took me like million years ^^ But it was worth it and I love the result. The flowers and the fairy are from a G45 die cut. 

Above I covered the bricks with some InkaGold in copper.

And this is how their sketch looks like:

Hope you like it! 

Thanks for watching and stopping by;

and wishing you a fantastic weekend!

Hello Crafters out there :)

How's your week going on? In Germany we just had the first really cold and rainy autumn days. One reason more to complete some layouts! This one's for the November challenge from My Creative Sketches. I reported a few weeks ago from my first Scrapbook Event from Scrapbook-Werkstatt, and I decided to create a layout about that event. The November challenge is about a double-sided layout, and this one's my very first! I described all the lovely details about that event on my journaling spot, so I won't forget any of them. For the background I used some DCWV papers from the vintage stack, and some gem-cardstock, too. Here's the result:

 And here are my close-ups: 

I cut out the heart from paper of the DCWV stack and covered it with some stickles.

I used crackle paint for this chipboard sticker from MME to give it a vintage look.

We get these tags with our names on it during the workshop, I thought it's a cute memory-piece.

These tiny stars are done with some molding paste and one of the new stencils from Heidi Swapp. I really love how they turned out, very dimensional and with a crisp edge! 

That was our crop-room :)

The "hello-tag" is a souvenir from that weekend, too. It was wrapped around our welcome-presenst (some candy-cane). Isn't that cute? 

That's Wilna Furstenberg, I loved her workshops. She's such a lovely person!

...and that's the sketch for the November challenge: 

If you have any questions just write me a comment, I'd be glad to answer them. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day! :)
