Scrapaholix

I returned to the scrapaholix group this month, and it was so great to be around old and new friends
I always find it a big challenge scrapping anywhere other than my own craft room but I was pleased that I almost completed a page!! lol
I came home and finished it off and then made another page from the kit
Now naughty Kim has got me "needing" cosmic shimmer powders LOL
as the background on the "Cherished" LO is done with versamark and the powders LUSHHHHHHHHHHH And a thankyou to Claire for not needing her lovely stamped flowers which I made use of. ..

I did add some swiss dot bazzil on this one and the little tabbehind the pic has oops will have hidden journalling on it and I have just noticed that my little dangly heart on the flower on the right is not "dangling" in this pic lol

Bad bad blogger am I

Over a month with no post how bad a bloglet am I???
I have been scrapping but just not posting lol
Well I always like to see a pic in my post so this is one of my most favourite ones from my recent "girlie" break in Poole.
At the back of the caravan we stayed in were some cute squirrels, of course I spent half the time trying to capture one(in a photo of course!)
Think I struck lucky this particular time

 

back soon with some scrappiness

crazy beautiful

This LO took me 4 days to complete I hit a bit of a block lolI fitted this in to a couple of challenges

This colour combo

from Colour combos galore
This challenge at Scrapping the Music
& This class at Sarah's cards
Here are a couple of close ups of the detail

2 for 1 or 1 for 2

Did this LO for 2 different challenges
1 was another scraplift over at XOXO and the other a sketch challenge at Creative Scrappers
This one took me along time and there is "real" right there on the page. I still cannot find the courage to put the journaling there in black and white so am going to make a little envelope and attach it to the back.
Am getting to grips a little more with the cosmic shimmer mists and this time I actually managed to get it where I wanted it lol. I blanket stitched around the edge of the black cardstock and stitched the journaling lines and around the word "my". the bird stamp is from basic grey, up in the right hand corner I tore a hole in the cs and stitched it back up with wire (there is a sticker behind it that says "home is a refuge).
I used some liquid pearls trailing from the butterfly and a couple of rub ons all of which are just lingering about in my stash (am getting through all the "odd bits" slowly)
I did journal a few lines which say " My Space isn't measured by cubic feet"
Wow a big description for me!

Colour Combo's Galore is back

I love this site but it has been all quiet over there for a few months but now it is back and this was the colour combo for this time

                                        turquoise - icing - cookie dough - pink sprinkles

I had this LO sitting on my desk for a couple of days and with a couple of colour changes it fits right in with the combo

Here is the LO I completed

I used a page from the sky magazine and the tear was a happy accident that I filled with gems for a bit of bling. I made the tissue paper flower  and I think they are really effective.

The chipboard alpha is by BG and I used white acryllic paint behind the photo. I have distressed the edges but this was the best pic I could get and had to crop the edges off lol

So Girly

I found a fun new challenge blog called XOXO where each week the 'lipstick chicks' each post a layout and you pick and choose as many as you want to scraplift elements from to create your own layout. How fun is that??? This month is sponsored by Color Me Miki and they have the most generous kit I've seen up for grabs this month. So go play along!!
Here is my lift of this LO by Lizzie Oakly I have wanted to try a 6x12 lo for ages and this great LO convinced me to do so.

I love Peggy in this pose she is so girly when she wants to really play
I used crate paper seasons collection again with a totally different look
