Rejoice... for More than Words

Hi everyone,

I decided to play along again with More than Words for December! I created this page of my darling daughter!

Here is the awesome challenge....

 I used tissue paper, Dina Wakley paints, TCW paste and stamping to create the background.

I placed the title on the photo and embellished with gold, black and copper embellishments.

Thanks for looking and thanks to the More than Words team for another great challenge.

We did it!

Hi all,

My friend Heather asked if I had time to do this month's challenge for More than words! I made time - especially when I saw the DT inspiration and the prizes!!

This was the challenge

Here is my page....

I started with some old patterned paper and using gel medium, I stuck some Tim Holtz tissue paper to the base. And some washi tape too.

Then I added a layer of stenciling - I used white pearl TCW paste through a grunge stencil - that had keys on it!

Next was some water with Lindy's stamp gang - magical shakers.

Last was a splatter of Colour Blast - Shimmer cube in Leather.

I layered up my photo and finished with some embellishments - check out the close ups....

This layer includes: muslin, twine, buttons, butterfly, flowers.... and of course = more keys - chipboard ones, heat embossed with Colour Blast embossing powder in Leather. 

And another cluster in the top left corner!

And documenting the success of this day - climbing the Kotor wall in Montenegro with my little sister. Just 2 months after tearing my ACL in my knee, I was stoked to be there and make it up.

Thanks for looking, and thanks to Heather for the push to join in.

Scrap the Girls - August

Hi there!

I found time this month (thanks to a retreat) to take on the Scrap the Girls Instagram challenge.

I was inspired by the Instagram logo... I rounded the corners of some papers, added washi tape strips for the rainbow stripes, and included a circle feature copying the camera centre.

Here are some close ups!

You will spot a Charms Creations white DIY heart and loads of D-lish Scraps embellishments.

Thanks for looking!

"Scrap the Girls" challenge for February

Hi all

 

I haven't joined in at Scrap the Girls for a long time... but I was away with my crafty pals this weekend and found the time. I LOVED the colour combination in the challenge.

 

 

I started by drawing and then machine stitching a circle to the page. I coloured the inside and outside circle with water pencils and gave it a slight water paint to soften, plus I added some splatters.

 

Then I went to town with pink, yellow, turquoise and orange - in stickers, flowers and other embellishments.

 

 

I used a Charms Creations silver star heart in the cluster under the photo!

 

 

And loads of D-lish Scraps goodies too!

Thanks for looking!
