Greatest View + create...

Hello Friends.  Have you noticed the new trend of confetti on so many layouts at the moment?  I must confess I've been a fan of this for some time.  :)  I love that extra oomph it gives to my background as a texture.  My lovely friend and fellow Greatest View DT member, Kim is a big fan too!  I love how she adds confetti directly to her patterned paper!

Why am I talking about confetti?  Because at Greatest View we are about to celebrate Birthday Week!


And as a pre-cursor to Birthday Week, I've created a layout about the birth of my youngest son. AND it has confetti on it! Double Yay!!

If you would like to know more about how I get back into creating after the mojo has been lacking, go and visit this post over at Greatest View. It has a little something to do with the hidden journaling I've shared in the photo above.  :)

Thanks for visiting..x

Looks like your Mojo is going full speed by these lovely LOs...cute balloon, too ~ I've always admired your li'l splots of paint & the way you use stitching, too:):):)

Hey Leanne. It was so good to meet you at the Expo. So sorry you caught the dreaded lurgy though.
A comment about the confetti - if you want more depth you can use the full stops and dots from other letters from packs of Thickers. No need to glue them either!

Such a special way to keep all those very special memories. There's something reminiscent about using a type writer - love how you (and Kim) do this.

OH this is a fav of mine it is so soft and dreamy looking, those colours and layers are superb!

Leanne said...

Great idea Heather. I also love to use brads. :)
