Sketch time....

Hi there BLOG world
I have been creating and thought i would share a sketch via Deer and Fawn Designs. A fairly a new website with divine products and a fantastic owner. They have monthly challenges and this months sketch just caught my eye
so here is my take on the sketch:

Love my little girls smile

I hand sewed the stems and thought i would stop randomly....

I recently went to the Stampin' UP new catalogue launch and could not resist the new season colours which i used in this layout ! They are just divine and had a ball using their Stampin' Write markers to create the back ground with a stamp.... I could not add a title for i felt the quote was just beautiful and says it all.

Happy creating XOXOX Maryleen

Wedding album page - DONE for September !

Well i must be on a roll

Here is my next page already! My album is coming along so well this year . . . .

This is a new thing for me - creating your own background! so here is one i played with. I recently got a stencil of bricks and used Gesso to get texture. Then added Diamond Dust and SmoochSpritz and the back was complete..... I still did not know which photo i was going to use BUT last night i played around and came up with this simple combination. A few rub-ons and bling....

I am very happy with it indeed ! I think simple is really becoming my thing at moment....

XOXO Maryleen
