Bo Bunny Country Gardens

This range of papers is simply gorgeous and are a must have in everyones stash!!

Here is what I have created with it



Believe In Yourself

A layout that intially started out being about Ashleigh but as it progressed ended up being about me.....................go figure. The Collections Expression 'through this door' was the trigger for both cutting the door in the paper and exploring my fears in many aspects of my life particularly scrapbooking.







...........and a close up!

Another Layout

Don't fall off your seats now!
Yes, I have created another layout.........so pleased my mojo is slowly finding it's way home.
I was given the really cute Neapolitan range from American Crafts by Tracey to play with this time. Just perfect to create a layout of our sweet niece Makayla.




The pale pink Thickers seemed to blend in too much, so I grabbed out some Smooch, which I have had in my stash forever and blended the pink and pearl over the top.
Really like how they have turned out.





Just a word of warning tho!
The Smooch doesnt dry on the foam....pmsl!!
Note to self experiment on some odd letters before going direct to layout - smacks head.
But I was able to blot the letters which did remove alot of the sparkle but a least it did dry.

Thank for stopping by
Hope you have a creative day

Cheers Terri

Paper Flourish Shares

I seem to be the OA girl at The Flourish!
Not that I mind because I love OA papers and embellishments..........most of the time.
This first layout is using Farmhouse papers, I'm really fond of this range - it's so pretty.
I have made many cards and even covered my diary in the scraps



Now the Sasparilla range is a whole different ball game not my cup of tea at all
It just seems to be a mixed matched lot of papers, but it suited some photos taken in Tassie on our trail ride.



I used an embossing folder as a stamp for the effect on the title.
I was after a woodgrain effect and I think I have captured the look of sassafrass well.



I have the Neapolitan range from American Crafts sitting on my table so I had better get a wiggle on with creating.
But I'm having way too much fun doing my Chemistry homework!!

I'm studying Chemistry!!

.............and I just cant wait for my first lesson.




Looking forward to learning some new techniques and generally just having a play.
My desk will soon be cleared and my 'T!m stuff' will be moving in...........roll on Tuesday!!!!

Mojo Mojo


.....where art thou!!


I haven't posted in so long cos I really dont have anything to share will you.

I seem to have lost any inspiration to scrap at all, but I still like to buy supplies though, so can someone tell me what's with that!!


But because I HAD to scrap something for a February Challenge over at Artistic I used a sketch to create a layout and a card. Not overly happy with either but what can you do?

I have used Echo Park papers which I have had in my stash forever................I really do LOVE Echo Park *sigh*







I sure you have all heard enough of me grumping, I'm off to do some painting.

On the walls not on a layout!

okay okay




I have to be one of the slackest bloggers around!

Here is a super quick round up of the last month


October CC (see I am really really bad blogger!) Typography

All about letters/words


Challenge to decorate a chippie letter and use it on a card or on one of the other challenges for the CC






Wedding Day layout was for Round 7 of Around the World in 80 days competition

Rolled paper and cutwork, the mini challenge cluster, bling and the criteria below!!

2 word title

3 photos

4 pp

5 lines of journalling

6 circles




One for The Paper Flourish using the Snowfall range from Bo Bunny

Plenty of cutwork on this one too!!



and a closeup




Which brings us to the November CC

So after doing an all about letters one in October it only seemed fitting to do numbers this month!

I was so blown away by a tutorial on Tammy Tutterow's blog (link on my side bar - you MUST check her out A- MAZ- ING!) I gave her frost technique a go (totally lifted it infact!) as the cover to my Daily December Album. Unfortunately my rock candy crackle was really thick and it was such as hot day yesterday it was drying way too quick and didnt work out as I hoped. So I might just have another bash at it.

My challenge criteria created 'something' with a shaped base. Use a technique you have been wanting to try out and numbers in your title.

Really simple to the other challenges this month!!









Did I say quick round up??

Sorry for the really long post!

I'll try and be more regular.


Cheers
