Love layout, Dawn layout, card & envelope

Hello everyone, Brenda here to share with you my first post for 2015 over at Scrapbookit. I hope you have all had a wonderful and Happy New Year. We are now looking to Australia day.....well in our house we are. That and a 10 day holiday the boys and I will be heading off on next week. I have been busy these holidays with a lot of different tasks and doing things with the boys and mum. For now though I have a couple of layouts to show you and a card. I have created the layouts to the grid I set for this months challenge. I love these grids /tic tac toe as you get some good choices on how you would like to do your layout. Below is the grid and you can choose three squares in any direction.


For my first layout I chose to use the top row on the grid.....Flowers, Spray and Chipboard.
 Because I have used a few products on this layout I will just list them for you but please if there is anything you would like to ask about what I have done or how please just ask in the comments and I'm more than happy to tell you. The layout is of my friends daughters cat - Salem. He is such a beautiful cat and Miss Meghan can do anything with her. She dresses him up all the time and he never cares. Not even when dressed like a girl :)

 For this layout I chose to use the second line - Banner, Journal and Die cuts
On this layout I used the same Patterned papers as the one above by Authentique - Crush. 
The other patterned papers with the beautiful roses is by Darkroom Door - Pearlescent 12 up Collection. There are different colors in the collection and they are so beautiful.

Below is the envelope I made from a Kaiser envelope template. I inked the edges with Black Soot - Distress Ink. I made the label to write the address on with the Darkroom Door patterned papers. Like the card it is a very soft mauve with beautiful butterflies on it. I then stamped flowers large and small on to the cardstock and placed them on the card. I then used Kindy Glitz - Crystalina on the flower head of the large flower.
