Playing with Paper : Scrapbooking Global Annual Catalogue Blog Hop

Welcome to Scrapbooking Global's very first blog hop & my very first blog post. I am excited to be participating along with 22 other very talented artists. The theme of this hop is Stampin' Up's new Annual catalogue. So grab yourself a beverage, maybe a snack & get ready to be inspired.

I love being a part of the Scrapbooking Global facebook group - a group of like minded scrapbookers using predominately Stampin' Up products. Membership is growing every day and I am one of the Australian admins, there are other admins from all over the world. The group is for lots of sharing and there are weekly challenges, designed to expand your scrapbooking. Click here to access the group.

You may have joined me from Simone Meye wasn't her project fantastic.

Here's my layout for this hop.

My inspiration for this layout was from my beautiful niece's tshirt, with the great pops of colour, hot pink, blue & yellow, as well as the pearls she is wearing. I wanted the focus of the page to be on my niece.

I made this layout with all Stampin' Up products. Using the Beautiful Bouquet stamp set #143666 and matching framelits - Bouquet Bunch #143659

I went to town stamping lots of flowers and then die cuttting them.Then I mixed Melon Mambo & Chocolate Chip re inkers with water in two of our spritzers #126185 and sprayed the Whisper White background. I made a few puddles and let some run to make drips. Adding my double mounted photo first. Then I layered up the die cut flowers along with some leaves, and giving each flower a pearl centre. Next I added the "Billie Bow" which I just love.
