the smurfs...

hope you had a wonderfuly weekend, well...mine was really fulfilling! i came back from work on friday and got straight down to planning a new layout and by the time i went to bed on friday night, i had been awake for over 43hours, with about a 5hours nap inbetween.

but i think it was all worth it. i completed a layout that is a tad bit overdue and all just in time for the design team search on the sketch blogs, http://www.pencillines.com/ and http://www.thescrappiest.blogspot.com/

anyway, back to my story on the smurfs. my friend, smurf, found his perfect smurfette and they decided to tie the knot and celebrated their love for each other on 23rd october 2010. so i decided to make a little something for them to always remember that beautiful day.

this layout is based on the design team search sketch for 2011 over at the pencil lines sketch blog, here is the link to the sketch... http//www.pencillines.com/2011/02/design-team-search-2011.html and here is my attempt at it...

supplies used: patterned paper - making memories; cardstock - dcwv; trims - making memories; flowers & pearls - prima marketing; brads - making memories and doodlebug designs; die-cuts - k&co; blings - basic grey; alphas - american craft; doily - royal lace and gold trim - from a bookshop in NZ

trying to layer this layout was initially a pain but once i got started, i couldnt stop! it is so puffy and popped up that it is a tight squeeze in its shadow box but i love it! well, me loving it, isnt good enough because its gonna be a gift for smurf & smurfette, so hopefully they'll like it too!


i hate how i need to go to work soon but good thing is that i get to come home tonight...yippieee! hopefully i wont be too tired because i have a 2nd layout which is about 85% done! cant wait to share it!


until the next post...
*hugs*
