Fashion Passion

This week's theme for the Design Team at Shop and Crop is Fashion Passion. This first layout uses one of my tops for inspiration:

Lots of flowers and gemstones. And here's my layout:


I tried to recreate the little square block in the centre of the top for my title/journaling block. I wanted to paint it, but chickened out and sewed it instead. And then, typical, afterwards wished I'd been braver and pulled out the paint. Nja.

I hand lettered the title - attempted to mimic the lettering on the top - I don't know how successfully, lol. Ah, it's all about the creation, the trying something, isn't it?

Now, I have to confess to cheating somewhat for the next layout. The inspiration didn't come from inside my house. I've had this pic on my PC forever. I don't even know where I got it now to credit it. This was the perfect opportunity to get it out and use it.

And here's the layout:


It's gonna be forty degrees Celsius again tomorrow! We are all reeling under this weather. Plus, they reckon that petrol is going to reach $1.50/litre by Easter. Eeek! Hot hot hot.

See you!

Ohhh Kathie both these are fab. The yellow one is so bright and funky, and I don't think you made a mistake by stitching rather than painting on the first one. Just gorgeous layouts, both of them.
