finally a challenge done - OUAS

hey all
well it has taken some time but i have finally done a layout for a challenge - once upon a sketch. i havent done any challenges lately as i have been quite sick from this pregnancy so it has only been dt work. i loved the sketch by nadia and knew exactly what photo to use and i have kept pretty much exactly to the sketch only mirrored it to suit.

i have used 7gypsies tissue paper for the base and washed it with white and aqua paints and used chocolate glimmermists and walnut stain ink. The papers are My Minds Eye Stella Rose - using some leftovers from my stash.




also just a reminder - Get Pickys challenge has 1 day to go - all entrys go in the draw to win some fab sassa!!!!

SASS Random Draw - Have a look at the Get Picky June Inspiration...... & give it a go!

hey girls!

well the new inspiration prompt is up over at Get Picky & & Tanya and Nikki have a fantastic prize to give away! Everyone who participates in this challenge will go into a RANDOM draw to win TWO Sassafras Lass Collection Kit packs, plus extra Foldies and Banner Stickers!! This is a very generous prize and all you have to do to be in the running to win is enter our challenge - it's that simple! Everyone who enters automatically goes into the draw for the prize! Wish I could enter.... LOVE these papers!!


I loved the inspiration.... so please head on over and take a look for yourself.

I created the background with lots n lots of glimmermist, i think there are four colours on here? Used Glimmerglam for the drops running down the page. I love creating pages like this with heaps of texture.

You will note i have not used any patterned papers, only mixed media.

I have to say that I thought I would "fray-up" the muslin, and got inspiration from Lou Nelson. Love her work! Although I am not as minimal as her.

You should also check out the amazing pages by the other girls on the design team.

Thanks for looking and your lovely comments.

Zoology - Bo Bunny...

it has been such a long time between posts... i am alive and have been doing a lil bit of scrapping. and i really need to share some of these pages!! must do a mega post soon!

in my design team pack for this month from Made with Memories Anne-Marie gave me the Bo Bunny Zoology to play with. When I seen the chipboard sheet I knew what i was going to create... a shadow box! I got started pretty much straight away... did not get a chance to get down to the shops to get a proper box, so had to make do with something i found around the house. i covered it in brown paper and painted so it looked like an ordinary box and once i started i couldnt put it down until i had finished it!
here is the end product:

there are lots n lots of layers.... and i wish i could put the real thing up so everyone could touch n feel n see!!

i am going to make a start on a layout with this paper this arvo as i still have tons of product to play with.
thanks for looking!!

Get Picky Sketch Challenge #8

Ok well the new Get Picky sketch is up over on their blog.... I love Get Picky's challenges and love being on their design team.

This month we were very lucky to be given some Scrapmatts chipboard to work with, and I love them!!! Scrapmatts are the sponser for the sketch challenge and the winner will def have a great prize!! wish i could enter to get some more! haha

so here is the sketch

and my take - i have pretty much kept to the sketch but added a few more layers.

i have been waiting to use these websters pages papers and wanted to do a fun glam page. and after the pics we took at the usher concert, i thought they would be perfect. i have used scrapmatts butterflies and oval frame. i inked them black and added a very thick layer of glossy accents.
