'bring on the adventure...'

Hello there crafty friends....so glad you dropped by!

I am back to share another layout using the March Scraps of Elegance kit called 'Anna's Daydream'..

'bring on the adventure....'

Did you know that each month there is a beautiful new mood board to be inspired by over at The Scraps of Elegance/Darkness Facebook community? You can find challenges, swaps, inspiration and a lovely group of girls all sharing their passion for creating...
Please go here to join in the fun and to see the rules for entering the challenge.

This month's board was created by Fena, a designer for Scraps of Darkness. 

To see more of her beautiful work please visit her blog 'Paper Memories'.

Isn't it lovely? I was inspired by the earthy colors, the old books, and the keys.

Here are a few close ups...

I used the Blue Fern Studios chipboard piece called 'Kimmy's Window' that came with the kit as the perfect backdrop to my photo of a girl reading by a window. I then took the gorgeous peach colored Prima flower apart and used the different pieces underneath my photo.

The 'No 3' paper from 7 Dots Studio was the perfect base for my cream colored flowers. I loved the cotton lace that came with the kit, one of my favourite embellishments to add to a page. I tucked in one of the metal pieces and then finished it all with a 7 Dots Studio sticker. 

Some of the best adventures ever are the ones found in books :)

This key was from a past Scraps of Elegance kit...I am on my third layout with this months kit and still have quite a bit left to create with! For more info on our kits please go here...

I found an unusual sketch that I saw on a cool Russian challenge blog called ArtUgolok.

....I am a bit infatuated with Russian blogs at the moment...so much beautiful work! 

Here is the sketch...
