A little bit messy

....but lots of fun.  I have this Dusty Attic frame that I stared at for ages and envisioned just how it was to look - absolutely not how it turned out!
I used white paint and some Distress Rock Candy and I've got a couple of sprays and inks on top of that but I don't have a clue what colours I used.
I've used a Crafters Workshop template again but this time I've used a stamp pad and embossing powder.  I don't know if I've ever embossed straight onto a page but I'm really happy with the result.  Also on here is a Kaisercraft stamp and lots of Petaloo and Prima goodies.

Perhaps next time I will remember to clean off all the stray bits of glue that's hanging about from my glue gun, before I take a pic ♥

Stuck! challege

 I have a few pages to share but haven't been able to get the camera out in time before night.  This one is for the Stuck challenge Blog.  I've used My Minds Eye Funday and my fave at the moment, a Crafters Workshop template.







Hopefully I can get some more pages up here this week.  I've got so much yummy stuff lately that I can't wait to share.

Woo Hoo!


  I am here yet again.   I'm a wee bit excited about it ♥
So, I've done another challenge, this time at Stuck?!

This is the sketch to follow

and this is what I've done.  The photos are of Dane, the eldest child.  I've been trying to work out how old he is in these but I just don't know. 
 I got some more older pics scrapped though.  Yay!
  Papers used are some left over scraps of Little Yellow Bicycle Saturday.

I've used a Crafters Workshop template.....again ☺, but no butterflies this time.


My Purple Pumpkin  heart is a little cute, hey.


Look at this blast from the past! 
A Heidi Swapp stamp that I had a sudden urge to hunt down in my stash and use.

I can't stop

 I've done another page! I am on such a roll.

This one is for the Scrap the Girls challenge and the criteria is 'Celebration' so I thought I would do a page of our daughter in law on her wedding day.  I've used the other pretty My Minds Eye, Follow Your Heart, paper and embellies for this.  I can see a few wedding pics being done with this lot.


Yep, more prima resist butterflies ♥ and a Crafters Workshop template.

White with one

I've done this page for the challenge at White With One.  
This month is
WHITE + KRAFT + LAYERING 
and Kraft being a fave of mine, I couldn't resist.
I've had another play with a Crafters Workshop template and again I couldn't help but use a Prima resist butterfly.  This pic is my niece Jasmine, who was in the photo is yesterdays post, and one of my Nans.  The photo would be about 16 years old so I've managed to scrap an older pic again.  Excellect ☺

and some more My Minds Eye

 Without a doubt, my favorite brand.  This range is the Miss Caroline Fiddlesticks.  The only thing that disappointed me with this range was the lack of embellishments.

I have done this layout to the sketch at the My Minds Eye blog for challenge 33.  I did think I was never going to finish it.  I had my paper all ready to go on and had taken off one strip on the tape, ready to stick.  I then decided that perhaps it needed a spray of Glimmer Mist.  I put on a few sprays of pale colours I wanted to use and then without looking picked up and sprayed a huge blob of a really dark one.  In my mad panic to try and wipe it off, I've put the paper with the backing off the tape on top of my photo.  Just as I start peeling it apart I knock the chipboard banner onto my page.  Of course this has no backing because it was left behind when I pushed it out to get ready to use.  So I ruined my photo and had to get a different one and had an ugly big blotch on my page which is why the papers upside down.  Did you know it was?  Can you tell?

In the photo is my youngest sister Kirsty and my niece Jasmine.
   I've used more of those gorgeous Prima canvas resist butterflies.  This time I've inked them with Colorbox chalk inks and misted lightly with Glimmer Mist.
