u r a QT!

I am just scrapping in with another two-for-one challenge layout today. I haven't had much chance to scrap lately, hell I haven't had much chance to sit and breath lately! But I couldn't let October fly by without having a go at these two challenges, so what better to be efficient and combine them.

 u r a QT!

First up there is the always handy sketch challenge. I love sketches. They help to make all my layouts unique and push me to do different things. This one is from C'est Magnifique Kits and can be found here.



I instantly loved this sketch and just HAD to use it! I have inversely flipped it, so that the title and photo are on the other sides to better go with the stencil/modelling paste/spray work I did on the background.


I have also used a colour challenge over at Black With Two. They ask you to use black cardstock as your background then the two colours for that month with a 5% white allowance. I only discovered the site this month and was super excited to play along as this is not my norm.
The colours this month are Pink and Gold in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness this month. I started scrapping Chloe so knew I had a lot of pink stuff to use up.


For the first time ever I actually started this page without a photo, I just got so excited by the sketch and colour scheme. When I got about half way I went through my computer to find a photo and came across this amazing picture of Chloe from a photo shot, I can't believe I had forgotten about it!


The bows in the sketch go perfectly with the girliness of the photo, one is a Purple Pumpkin find and the other I made myself. The gold flower is kindly crochet by my cousin Anna (thank you).


I had this glitter card stock in my stash for a while and was super excited to use it. It really makes the photo pop!

I was also excited to dig out my boarder punches that I had be hoarding. All the pink strips are from my scrap pile.
I hope you like it!
