Can't stop scrapping

Now I am fairly confident that by now you know I don't mean that I am fighting a lot :) I have definately got my scrapping bug back and have on my search for inspiration and ideas completed a page as a challenge on the Scrapology blog Here. I was already planning to scrap this photo and I love using decoupage on my pages so I thought this would meld with the Dimension challenge.
The papers are from Basic Grey Infuse range using the pink as the base, the stripped paper to cover the chipboard and I cut a section from the corner of the floral paper to make an explosion of flowers :) The Circular chipboard was covered and then I had to cut out a section to fit the photo into the circle so I used the cut out part to help raise the floral corner. I ended up having to use 3D sticky pads on top of the swirls that went under the decoupage as they were less raised. I used Bazzil flowers a few brads and some cream paper flowers with a beige ribbon to make the flowers at the torn sections.
Anyhow I am in love with the page even though it has a photo of me and not one of the kids lol so I hope you like it too :)

(p.s. the yellowy colour around the edges is my dining table not part of the LO maybe I should paint it so it goes better with my LO's when I photograph them lol)

  7. I have to agree with Tabs - Kari is a little mini-you! And I love this page, the colours and patterns all work so well together :-)
