BUSY ME

SOOOOO.....I have been scrapping a bit lately.  NOT that I dont have other things to do but I have decided I need to make time to scrap and use up my HUGE stash!!!

Firstly I did a layout of hubby and myslef and  my dear friend who invited us to the MEN IN BLACK ball...She goes every year. Its raises money for male depression.

I LOVE this DA frame..I painted it with gesso and then inked and painted with glimmer glam...LOVE the effect...

Next is a simple layout of our eldest swimming with the dolphins in Bali. 

  Stella & Rose papers. A papers doily some crocheted green doileys and some wonderful thickers.  Like I said simple but I like the look of it.


Then  a pic of my hubby and I at the ball..I used some of the new Victoria Garden papers.  Another DA frame which I painted white and then used glimmer glam AGAIN to add the glitter effect on.

  I quickly made some flowers for this layout using the cut and roll technique.  The little heart flower frame I got in Vietnam and it just suited this layout so well.  The gold heart is a Collections piece that I embossed using gold emboss powder.


The next one is using the new Kaiser range Miss Nellie..its another quick layout but I still like it.

The flourish is from Collections.  I inked it silver and then embossed over it using moonglow embossing powder.  I really like how this turned out.  Of course some lovely bling and a cluster of flowers..


I have one more layout to upload but blogger is being a bit naughty at the moment and wont let me upload the photos so for now ...thank you for looking

Something Blue

The Grammar school our eldest goes to had a fundraiser with a difference this year..they had a wedding Af-fare..so it was a fare with the theme being weddings through the centuries.  the highlight of the day was a parade of wedding dresses that people had sent in.  My daughter got to wear my dress ( a teary moment)..It fitted her perfectly..OH was I ever this tiny

A beautiful WEBSTERS page.. I decorated the form on it rather than use a chippies one. I punched out some paper and inked the edges blue to use as the backgroud..My signature bling (LOL) .

Dad N Brea

I ahve been scrapping a bit lately but just havent found OR made time to update my poor blog..apart form the challenges on OUAS... So here at last are a couple of the lay outs I have done recently.

This first one is a photo of our Eldest daughter and My hubby on holiday in Bali..there is just something about it I love..My hubby looks SOOOO relaxed in it.

lots of bling..a prima swirl, some of the buttons i brought in Vietnam...

Thank you for looking

July 1st Challenge

So ..I have become addicted to doing the challenges over at Once Upon A Sketch.  They are challenging and I am loving that they are making me do things I wouldnt normally in my layouts..ESPECIALLY journalling...I am shocking at journalling on my photos..I often hide it.
The July 1st challenge is as follows

Journalling Criteria: Who is in the photo? Name the person in the photo and at least 1 fact about them. This can be personality, character, talent , achievement etc. but it must be at least 2 sentences long. 


So, using a photo of our youngest , taken on her Birthday which she was lucky enough to be in Bali for, this is my take on the sketch

I have used FOR THE RECORD paper and embellishments for this one.  I made 2 flowers for the bottom corner..I love these they are so easy and look GREAT.  I don't usually spray on my page so this was another challenge for me here.  Very happy with how its turned out and cant wait till the 15th for their new challenge.  I have several more lay outs to upload....if I get some free time today.  Thank you for looking ....
