Its such an interesting colour challenge this week. I was really hesitant in wanting to do this challenge but I really loved the idea of the designer challenge which is to create a project using dictionary or text pattern.
I think it must have been the light on the day I took this photo but the main paper used is a piece our the new Bo Bunny Ectra line which really is a 'Brown Nosed Professor' colour!!! So apologies for it not looking quite right!
A chapter in our lives..... Its 10 years ago this month that my mum found out she had an aggressive form of uterine cancer. Even tho the photos that were taken of her journey were all from a film camera, I have decided that I am still going to scrap and record this moment in our family life. It was such a huge thing for all of us and I feel even tho some of the photos are still upsetting to look at, I want to make an album for my mum. She told me the other day that she has never looked at these photos of her during this time and thinks she never will....but I hope once I have finished she might :)) So you might see more soon!
Green Tara, Prima and Kaiser flower blooms as well as misted bandage gauze!
Some stamped butterflies from A Lil' Somethin :))
A cute little Purple Pumpkin spotty button.....
My layout was inspired by all the books in the inspirational photo....
