Friday Night Live - May 2020

One of my favorite pursuits involving scrapbooking is the Friday Night Live challenge conducted in a Facebook forum once a month.  A page map is posted at 8pm and participants have two hours to complete a page based on the map, photograph and upload their entry .... and chat together with other online participants.  A peer vote decides the nights winner and a small gift is posted out.  It’s a lovely idea and great fun.

I confess I occasionally need to add a little more ‘fussy stuff’ after the final bell is sounded so my entry is sometimes not as polished as I’d like. I spent 20 minutes this morning adding a little more tizz.

Here’s my entry for this months challenge. It was great fun ... perhaps if you’re reading this you might care to try next month. I’m sure you’ll enjoy yourself.

Thanks for stopping by .... Delsie xx

123 Challenge Blog - May 2020

WOW .... was feeling very challenged this month with the colours to be used.  123 Challenge Blog provided its usual challenge of sketch, colours and title - which I really enjoy. However I wasn't going to let it get the better of me so here is my creation.  The black, white and grey proved an interesting palette - and I had to dive deep into my stash to locate some petals and pieces to create my flowers ... then I added a few white velvet leaves.

Another photo featuring my beautiful elder daughter Ali - this was taken in Idaho on her last visit (with her best friend Camille).

I've used a lovely piece of printed cardstock from the 'Awakening' collection by Piatek Trzynastego. I loved the soft grey leaves as a background. Then lots of little scraps of black/grey prints. I also found an old Prima bling packet with a perfect colour combination.

I've managed to collect a nice stash of vellum stickers - in this case an antique clock  They are terrific on the page - very smooth and nearly always totally invisible at the seams. I did lots of double matting too - I like the sturdy finish it gives my pages.

Thank you for stopping by - Blessings Delsie xx
