A shabby share and a sketch comp



"I love shabby chic style layouts, and found these gorgeous papers from The Scrapcake called 'One moment in time' perfect for my style, the papers made it simple for me to achieve the shabby look I was after. I have used lots of distressing, and inks,
and I got to do some fussy cutting also, which is one of my favourite techniques. I am quite happy with how it all came together. Of course, I can't take all the credit, the stars of the show are obviously the beautiful Manor House Creations flowers that match so perfectly with the collection. Oh, and 2 of my gorgeous boys, Jack and Harrison".





Products used: MHC flowers, Fairy floss-soft pink, Finesse, Prior roses-cream and chocolate, rose leaves-medium, TSC 'One moment in time' papers.

  2. Karen the boys are gorgeous (maybe they wouldn't like being called gorgeous but we as mothers and grand mothers think they are). I love the flowers and the masks. Are they new flowers to Manor House?

It is not girly in any way, but just filled with love and tenderness.. and I only have one pack of MH flowers, I must get some more soon.. they really are beautiful flowers, and i love the fact they support a charity with their profits too... Have a great week!!
