Busy Bee

 Hello crafty friend and welcome to my blog. I'm up on the Off The Rails Scrapbooking challenge page this week with my DT tutorial post for this months challenge. 

This month is all about nature and I knew exactly what photo I wanted to use. 

 

I chose a photo of a bee that was busy collecting pollen in a tree at my mums. There were so many bees collecting that we could hear there buzz from some distance away. It is the same every year the tree flowers. Every year I do the same thing and take photos of them as I find them fascinating. It's amazing how much they collect before going back to the hive. 

 

In the photos you can see one of the pollen sacks nice and full. 

Now for the challenge and my take on it. 

 

 

The products I used are -

Webster's Pages Vellum (Background, glued to white cardstock)

Purple Cardstock

Black Cardstock (Mounted photo on)

Old music book sheet

Washi Tape

ARTstacks tissue paper flowers

Bees (printed from internet and fussy cut)

Dimension tabs

Journal Pen

Life

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today I'm posting a scrap layout I have created for this months challenge over at ArtStacks. You can find the challenge on Facebook. You don't have to use their products to join in and it's so much fun.

 

This months inspiration board is just beautiful. My inspiration was from the beautiful yellow, the butterfly and the hands.

 

The photo is of me when I was a very young girl.

 The wooden letters title I chose formed part of my journaling. 

 

"LIFE.... Opened many doors for me. I just had to take hold in my hand."

 

Some people are not so lucky in life to have things as good as I did. My mum always made sure that every door that could be opened for me was and all I had to do was choose which door I wanted to go through and take hold of what was there.

 

The door beside my photo is on ArtStack tissue paper and I have used my water colour paints to colour the door and leave the wall natural.

The hand is also ArtStacks tissue paper and I have left it natural as well. 

 

 

The products I used are -

ArtStacks Printed Tissue - Doors and Window Pack

                                      -Faces and Figures Pack

AB Studio Patterned Paper - May Day

49 & Market Flowers

Petaloo Willow Vine

Fussy cut butterflies

Wooden letters

Journal Pen
