Just a quick one I whipped up this morning. And I do mean quick. I started and finished it before Elisha got out of bed.

In My Arms @ Last

This layout was created for the Little Scrapbook Shop Design Team Challenge. Cath challenged us to attach flowers in a different way to normal.



I used a lot of small primas and attached them originally using a little bit of dimensional magic, but then sewed over them with the sewing machine.

A couple of close ups for detail.





Products used:
*bazzill - pink and green
*small primas
*prima hydrangeas
*FTI Rub Ons - Designer Skinnies, Flowers Pastel
*brad
*American Crafts Chipboard - Alphabet Thickers, Hat Box Pink

Memories

This is a layout for the monthly competition over at Scrapbooking Top50 Australia. The theme this month was nature. No photos of people allowed. And although this photo doesn't have any people in it, the journalling is about my Oma, who has pretty much lost her ability to remember and to communicate. This photo was one among many that the story behind is most likely lost forever. I hope that my scrapbooking will save some stories for future generations to enjoy.

Products used
*all three pp are very old papers from the bottom of my stash, I have several of the mulberry/fibre type paper with the metallic embossing on them and I love them.
*gold brads

Chipboard Tiles

Well it was my turn to do the step-by-step for Little Scrapbook Shop, and having seen some very cute chipboard tiles done around the place I asked Cath if she was able to get them in.

And she was. I did a non-swap swap with the other Design Team members and... wow



And now I'm hosting a chipboard tile swap. Why don't you come on over and join in.

Again a big thank you to the other Design Team members for their help in getting this done so quickly.

Sweet

I just loved this photo of Elisha cuddling up with his teddy bear Cookie. But it was not a well taken picture. A bit of fiddling around with it in GIMP made it passable.

Had a lot of fun with this layout for Little Scrapbook Shop.

I dared!



This week's challenge over at Daring Card Makers - We'd like you to somehow incorporate text into your cards this week - not just one word - but a portion of TEXT...

Quite happy with the resulting card from this challenge. And everything I have used is old, very old stash. So doubly pleased with myself.

Oh So Sweet Butterfly

Another card using the Oh So Sweet patterned paper.

Under Construction

Did something by accident, but think it is quite effective. I didn't want the brads to be nice and shiny seeing as everything else has been distressed. So I filed them a bit. Then when I put a bit of paint on them. And then accidently added a bit of Tim Holtz distress ink...

... then being the impatient person that I am I tried to add the rub ons before everything was completely dry.

They wouldn't stick... BUT they pulled the paint and ink off and now it has a masked effect. Not sure that it would work every time though.
