Splitcoast Diva Challenge


I created this LO for the challenge set by the *uber* talented Sandie & her Mum Julia. They are the challenge Diva's this week on SplitcoastStampers. We were asked to use stamped images on our LOs, & this was such a good thing for me to do, because I love my rubber stamps, but fallen into the bad habit of only using them on my cardmaking or ATC's. I really enjoyed creating this LO & love how the stamped images look !!!
It turns out in hindsight, that I didn't completely fill the criteria required for this challenge, as I didn't read it properly. That will teach me.
I should have either created a border or added 5 stamped images. Nevermind, it was fun anyway!


I have used products from my January Scrapagogo Create Kit. The kit contained the superb Noteworthy Range from MM, the papers are double sided so you have even more choice for mix & matching your patterns & they are suitable for male & female LOs alike. As you can see on the LO of my son Steve, I have used a floral pattern, but it is still definately a male LO. So don't be afraid to give floral patterns a try!


Also from the kit, I have used the Thickers Velvet Alpha's & the KI memories Softies frames, these look great with the stamped images that I chose to use!!
Steve was just 14yrs when this photo was taken, & he is about to turn 29yrs old & is to be married this year!! Where does the time go?
This LO also works well for the Arty Girlz Challenge for stamping too!
