safety first

Completed this LO for Sarahs Cards (clare may recognise a few bits!)
I do struggle with lots of layers like this and it took me ages to get it all in place
I used fancy pants pp and the little embellies were courtesy of Clare quite a while back now lol, thickers alphas and some Martha Stewart butterflies
I love the nice bright colours of this LO

Long time

Havn't posted anything in a while, have done some stuff but old/new puter probs are hopefully over lol
This is a LO from some of my wedding pics that I came across
I used sketchythursdays 9.02 sketch
I used a flower punch for the scalloped border and I decorated my own pins with beads bit of misting/stiching/doodling and you dont want to know how long it took me to tie that silly little bow holding the charm!!! lol

Don't get in a flap

Found a new challenge site called Mission to create where you have a list of 5 "ingriedients" to incorporate onto your LO
The concepts for this time were
Use photobooth pics
Use Brads
Use 6 pieces of pp 1" or smaller
Stitch a border
Use this colour scheme

You have to use at least 3 of the 5
I created this and almost managed all 5, but I did
1.use brads (the cat and the photo turns)
2.Use the colour scheme
3.Stitch a border
My pics were almost photobooth and I use a couple of small squares of paper (unless you cheat and say the alpha stickers are pp LOL)
This was a real fun LO of daft Peggy poking her head thru the cat flap as she does when she wants letting back in!!
Hope you enjoyed looking, all crticism/praise gratefully recieved

By The Sea

Been wanting to scrap this picture for ages but couldn't find the right look. I found a pad of Basic Grey granola and I loved how the colours matched. Along with a title from Scrap that Poetry and sketch 199 from Pencil Lines I was well underway.

I am very pleased with the end result and I love how Rodney looks somehow majestic in this pic of him by the sea at Challaborough Bay

And here is my take on it
                       
                         
Used American crafts - Craft fair again ( I love this range) and some nice glossy metallic thickers
There is journalling along the black scalloped border that reads "The higher the balloon went the more you giggled". My beautiful Grandaughter and her pizza hut balloon

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
