Life Zesters February Challenge

Hi there!! Today I am sharing with you my take on our challenge for February!

Totally LOVE this challenge!! I had intended on cracking out my Simple Stories "Good Day Sunshine" range for summer and this worked PERFECTLY with the challenge for this month!

Before I share my work with you here are our sponsors for February

We have 3 awesome prizes up for grabs this month!!

Firstly there is a Charms Creations Project Life Kit - I LOVE Charm's handmade embellies!!

A Funky Flair voucher to the value of $10.00

And The Scrappery are donating one of their February Pretty Little Kit's - value of $30.00 including postage

So make sure you play along and link up your Wood inspired PL pages to our blog for your chance to win one of these awesome prizes!!

And onto my layout!

I worked on our Week 1 for 2015 which was only a 4 day week - 2 of those days were "holiday" days - 1st New Years Day and the other the 2nd was us travelling home after our mini holiday.

Here are my 2 pages together

My left hand page

I have totally loved including BIG photo's in my spreads of late and this sunset (the 1st of 2015) was BEAUTIFUL - the photo's don't do it justice really!!

I found this tutorial months ago and I use it ALL the time!!

I am not on a Mac and use PSE10 so I go to Image > Resize > Canvas Size and change my sizes there. Seriously, the easiest way to have enlarged photos in your PL album without the big price tag of printing enlargements!!

The bottom left pocket also has a flip flip attached with journalling and another photo included.

And onto the right page

I love, love, love the fun, bright colours of this range mixed in with that woodgrain!!

And some close ups

More stickers from the range (I got the collection pack which includes the papers, some overlays and 2 sticker sheets) and also a cork piece from the Elle's Studio Hello 2015 range.

Love this fun little camera logo!! I have popped a red heart from the sticker sheet onto a pop dot and stuck that in the middle of the shutter :)

It's not very clear in the photo but I have added a layer of glossy accents to the ampersand for a bit of a texture change from paper. Again, I love the bright colours right up next to the gorgeous wood grain!

And another sticker I have popped up with some pop dots and I also ran some yellow washi behind :)

Make sure you stop on by the Life Zesters Blog to see all the fun inspiration that the other girls have come up with and also make sure you stop in and like the FB page here! And get your entries in for a chance at the fun prizes!!

Thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!!
