Summer's gone!

Hi everybody!

A few days ago I was in Bouzigues (France) for a small farewell summer journey.

I love the sun light at the end of the summer, and the photos always are great in this season, so making a farewell summer Layout was required!

Here you can see some details of my layout, the white die cuts over a liquid watercolor background are always a great idea!!

This are the Sizzix products used in this project:

"Friends" Layout by Gerry van Gent

Hello Sizzix friends!

I hope you are all enjoying your weekend!

I am a bit late with my post today so I am sharing straight away

my project I created for you today! I used NEW dies and I love them.

657900 Sizzix Big Shot machine

NEW 660222 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Scribbles & Splat

NEW 660218 Sizzix Thinlits Die Set Handwritten Love

658571 Sizzix Bigz L Die Pocket Watch Frame

657190 Sizzix Bigz L Weathered Clock

*     *     *

I began layering the photo with two "old" dies which were matching

perfectly the new Scribbles & Splat dies with their round shape.

All  Splats were adhered on the background with foam tape to give more dimension.

Before die cutting the Splats I chose paper where I could use a beautiful pattern 

in the middle of the splat.

I wanted the heart be the shining "queen" on my layout....

I didn`t have to use any glitter ....

I simply chose red cardstock which made it pop perfectly!

...I fell in love with all the Handwritten words....

so cool and perfect touch to your project!

OTHER PRODUCTS I USED:

Prima Marketing - papers, flowers, stencil

Dutch Doobadoo - modelling paste

*     *     *

And before I finish my post for today I would love to share with you 

a few photos of my daughter who often comes to my studio and 

creates with me. This time she did't miss the chance to try the new

Sizzix dies I received and even created a layout using them :-)

She is having so much FUN....

....and wondering is this beautiful butterfly can fly.....

....and she is dreamy....

...and of course she organised mommy's NEW letter dies on a 

flexible magnetic sheet ... waiting for my approval ;-)

....and she did a great job....now the letters are so easy to use.....

which reminds me I have a project to share with you next Sunday!!!

Hope you enjoyed my post today!
