Happileigh Scrappin' #31 - MYO Bellies



We have a new challenge today over at Happileigh Scrappin' Challenges which has been set by Starla and that is to Make your own embellishments.

I started with the gorgeous image of Girl with Kite which is in the Girly Girl section of the store. I love flying kites but I am not particularly good at it :( When we went camping with our friends they bought me a butterfly kite and I rarely got it up in the sky but Paul was pretty good at it.


Anyway I digress, back to the card :) I love chocolate and pink as a colour scheme so coloured the image accordingly. I decoupaged the kite by adding a second layer mounted on 3D foam. Using the sketch from Tuesday Trio I added the gorgeous brown ribbon and tied a bow to match.

For my handmade embellishments I went to one of the patterned sheets in the Sweet Owl pad I had used the main backing paper from. One of the sheets has large flowers and circles on it so I selected particular elements and cut them out, adding ink and glitter to enhance. I then raided my stash for some buttons and twine to finish off and Ta Daaah !!

There are loads of fabulous images in the Happileigh Scrappin' Store and Leigh has also got some gorgeous new designs available. With every purchase you this image and sentiment free........


Also for every 3 images you purchase you can choose an extra one absolutely free. There are loads of fab images just itching to be played with so you will find it easy to spend your pennies I promise you :)

Please pop on over to see the lovely creations my Happi Sisters have added. There are lots of lovely cards to feast your eyes upon and they are all so different.

Remember, for our challenges you don't need to use a Happileigh Scrappin' image but if you do your entry counts twice and withfreebies available here it is easy to use one of Leigh's fabulous digis.

We would love to see lots of entries in this challenge. Leigh gives away her lovely digis to the top 3 so it is well worth entering and me and the DT love to see your creations, so come on over to

    Hi Mandy

    Yes, you are right.

    A snippet is simply anything left over after you have cut into a whole sheet .. .. so it really can be quite big if you have previously attacked a 12 x 12 !!!

    But it can also be very small too .. .. some of mine are just pathetic .. .. but just occasionally they do get used! LOL!!!

    Hope you are having a good week.

    Love Jules xx

    now THIS is absolutely darling! and the memory is even more so! i used to fly kites too and it was always fun. where has that fun gone???? LOL

    thanks for the tip on the film for the skylights. our skylights are NOT flat. they're domed. would not be easy to cover but i know we can put something in the crevice to deflect the light - just never seem to get around to it.

    yeah, this weather is crazy. never a happy medium lately! go figure.

    love your flower card below too!

    hugs, my friend.
