INTRODUCING........................

Willy and Mia
I'm really happy with how this LO turned out. I used Bo Bunny patterned papers, and some that I don't know what brand they are :(. I also used prima packaging, flourish with a bling vine, american craft thickers, carolee creations alpha stickers, DCWV rub ons, kaiser rub ons, brads, prima clear dot, and I made the flowers out of a dress making pattern. I coloured Willy and Mia using Copics and Stampin Up markers. Aren't they adorable.

and meet........................

Isla

And on this layout of my Isla I used the Isla Emerald Faerie image, 2 cute Isla's :) For this LO I used kaiser patterned papers, prima pearl flourish, kaiser embellishments, american craft thickers, making memories glitter alphas, and I also used the tag from one of the Kaiser embellishment packs. The felt flower was made by Amanda Taylor (think it was her ). I thought it suited the layout really well. I coloured the Isla image using copics and stampin up markers.

In order to win the blog candy you need to a leave comment on all the blogs on the blog hop and be a follower of all the blogs. Now head on over to Sammi B's and check out her gorgeous creations.

Butterfly Kisses

Im really happy with how this LO of Isla turned out.

I really loved this LO that I did using a pack from Lisa ( i think). just love the colours and they go so well with the photo. I used a prima flourish, kaiser flowers, dress making pattern (to make the base under the orange rose), small wood sticks (i made the fence from), kaiser alphas, lace, sheet music, kaiser rub ons, hambly screen print rub ons, monopoly card, butterfly button and and coredinations card stock

I used prima flowers, kaiser flowers, kaiser pearls and rhinestones, american craft thickers, kaiser alphas, carolee creations alpha stickers, kaiser embellishemnts, chippy tag, crocheted doily, papermania journal block and hambly screen print and kaiser rub ons

I also used some kaiser scrap pieces of paper, prima packaging, chipboard piece from an album that i bought, blue onion bag type material from a mcdonalds happy meal toy, small magnifying glass from an xmas bon bon, heart buttons, kaiser flowers, lil red rocket button and i used a heap of leftover rub on alphas on some navy card.
