Get Picky Inspiration Challenge #9

Hello everyone,

Happy Monday :))
Back to Kindy today for us, so back to school routine which I just love.  Last week I spent a good part of the week doing DT commitments for next month, so over the weekend I really felt I needed to do a challenge.  I want to get a few challenges done this month that I haven't participated in for a while and Get Picky was high on my list!!!

Take inspiration from the following:


Pure Fun....Apart from the STUNNING combination of colours, which I got a tad excited about...I just loved the whispery clouds in the background, and how SJP was placed in the middle of the poster AND how her gorgeous dress flowed while she was walking... Here is what I came up with using some very old Basic Grey papers...they were both in my 'don't want pile' but I found them perfect for this challenge.  See never throw anything away...it will always come back in fashion...lol!! Tim Holtz film strip added in there too..cause it is a movie poster!


Finally I got the chance to use some of my gold embellishments...gorgeous trinkets from Prima.  These cute little flowers are from HERE and check out the gorgeous monkey button from Purple Pumpkin!


A little gold rose and trinket from Prima... :)))


Had fun creating this layout lots of paint, mist, crackle paint for my frame and inking... :)))


Well that is all for today...
Hope you all have a fantastic day and as always THANK YOU for visiting and for leaving me the most wonderful comments :)))
