Scrap Around the World - My Family

Hello everyone!

It's been such a productive time! I'm back in *again* to share my entry on SATW's epic anniversary challenge! They are celebrating their first birthday and there's a huge party going on over there. SATW has a special place in my heart as the very first challenge blog I have ever taken part in and also won prizes for, so BIG CONGRATS to Helen for running such a great show, and also to her wonderful DT for coming up with such beautiful mood boards each month. Despite May being such a busy month, I told myself I must play along just to show my support and gratitude for a bunch of people that have been so kind to me.

Here's the mood board:


And my take on it:


I took my colours largely from the pictures with the balloons. The background was created with gelatos, lots of random stamping and of course my favourite splattering with some gorgeous 13 @rts Ayeeda Matte Paints - don't they look like confetti? I picked the papers as well with matching polka dots and stripes as shown in the picture with the parcels. I also chose to scrap about my family as they are the ones who got me started scrapping in the first place, and is what I am most thankful for everyday.


Not sure if you can see it here, but I've got a little paper bow tie under my title sticker, inspired by the picture of the pair of shoes. Together with a few other elements, I outlined it with texture paste and sprinkled gold glitter, just like how it was with the balloons. 


My floral cluster. What will I do without flowers?  Tucked beneath is a cute piece of Mini Ring Things chipboard from Blue Fern Studios which I happily patted on some Shimmerz Dazzlerz. I also outlined my strips of layering paper with different Texturez like icing on a cake, which is what parties are all about right? 


A piece of Junkyard Finding tap and a Heidi Swapp plastic ticket.


That's all I have for today. Hope you like what I have to share!

love,
