Bird Is The Word Charming Challenge

Hey Girls! Dropping in for a quick share of something I created yesterday for the current 'Charm' challenge at Bird Is The Word. So you may have noticed I have really been enjoying exploring my grungy side of late and thought I would continue my journey with some 7 Dots Studio papers by Anna Dabrowska. As soon as I saw these papers I was intrigued. However I never purchased them up until now as I wanted to be confident that I could use them incorporting my own style without them looking like a Finnabair scrap lift! 

"Prince Charming"


So first off I banned the use of Glimmer Mist,  as much as these papers scream for it! And thought about what my 'trademarks' are for scrapping. Which would probably be frames so focused on that!


As there is quite a lot going on with the background I kept my composition really simple and centered. 



And if you are wondering who this little man is, it's my dad. The photo is not the best quality, well my Dad is 82 so this photo has to be about 75+ years old! To me it just screamed 'charming' and was the first photo I thought of for this challenge...


I always have fun creating but something about this type of layout I just really loved doing. If you had walked into my craft room you would have seen me with a stupid grin on my face like a crazy person while doing this page...weird I know! So I think you may see more of this style to come....Anyway, thanks for looking girls, hope everyone has an awesome weekend xox
