HUG HARDER

 I was immediately drawn to this colorful sheet of paper and chose it to use with this month's sketch.  I brushed on a little watered down gesso to tone the pattern down a wee bit as my photo was totally lost. I used Shimmerz Texturz from my stash  to mask a circle around the music paper circle.  Otherwise everything is from the main kit and addons.  The leafy swirls are Cameo cuts.

Be Your Own Kind of Beautiful

 This kit has so many possibilities, everything from grunge, see below, to girly like this layout. You can definitely go in alot of directions with this kit as you can see from all the really different layouts done by the design team.

Well we know that Swirlygirls are all about flowers so I thought that this floral paper was perfect to scrap this photo of me, Kim and Jan in Chicago, CHA 2011.   I added a doily from my stash, otherwise everything is from the main kit and addons.  I seriously  adore that  Prima Garden Sink that came in the main kit!

Moments

My dh and I were on a bay cruise in Naples, FL when this brown pelican just flew up and landed on the boat's rail and stayed there for at least 15 minutes allowing anyone to sit and be photographed with him.

I love the Izink that came in the Mediums add on, and that is what I used to make my drips.    I did discover that the ink can clog a little in the dripper but I just used a straight pin and it unclogged quite easily.  The papers, bling flower centers, and lightbulbs all came from the main kit.  I used metal flowers and chipboard from my stash to embellish this manly layout.  I used the liquid pearls in the main kit to randomly paint the metal pieces.  The gears are heat embossed with Stampendous aged bronze embossing enamel.

Bradley

This is really a simple LO but I love the look. Of course having these two cutie pie photos of our grandson doesn't hurt that's for sure! Grandpa gave him a cool toy that makes noise when you press a button and he was delighted with that. In the one photo he is saying Ooooh upon hearing the sound. I cut and crumpled some of hte natural webbing that is in the Embellishments add on to layer under the flowers. I think that's a fun natural look with these gorgeous Petaloo botanica flowers.
