SIL Blog Hop Week 6 and a Layout

Hello everybody!!

Today is the start of week 6 of Scrap-It-Lah's anniversary blog hop. Please hop over to this talented DT's BLOG to see what treats she has for you. You'll be amazed how she turned something so easy into pretty usage.

Remember that you only have 1 week to submit your take on the challenge and then next Friday will be out final week in the blog hop. All the best to you.

While I have the time to blog, I would like to share a layout I did some weeks ago. I did this as a submission for a DT call over at Pencil Lines. Obviously I didn't make it (boohooo :( ) but I love the sketch that was given and had fun creating this.

I love the whole feel of the layout; sort of fun and sunny although I think I could have done a better job on the spritzing.

Thanks for dropping by and have a wonderful Friday and the weekends ahead!!

A Layout of Quotes

I started this layout based on the sketch from Pencil Lines sketch 193. I love the sketch because it has a small area for a photo and it's way up there. Which is something I've never done before.



This is what I came up with:



I'm loving how the tearing and inking effect came out because they kinda look like the "fires of hell" in my title :D. So that's a plus!

Those written words are rub ons by 7Gypsies and I've had that for the longest time because I've been saving it for something special. I guess this layout is special.

The title of the layout is a quote from my favourite book series. Don't you think that's true? To have gone through hardship and adversity and to have survived, only makes you stronger. And to survive the most intense of hell on earth, makes you the strongest individual.

Some acrylic paint effect using a bottle cap and bubble wraps. And the dots are rub ons from Pink Paislee.

At first I only wanted to title the layout with the quote. And as I was looking around in my stash, I found some 7Gypsies stickers with lots of quotes and so I made it into a layout of quotes and sayings.
