Swimming

One of the holiday layouts. I hand cut the blue swirl, inked the sides, covered it in glossy accents and then put some shiny trim on it. The flowers come all the way form my mother in law in Algeria. She sent me over a large box of ribbon and flowers. I stamped the base paper with my stam and sprayed it with glimmer mist. I think it looks nocer in real life!

Sunday Morning Cropping

The 1st challenge was to make your own flowers, i found this hard, so if anyone knows of any sites which show you haw to make your own embelishments blease share. The 2nd challenge was to make your own 'beautiful' tag, i enjoyed doing this as it gave me a chance to use the inks again and try putting salt on it, think I am starting to get addicted to inks.

Mojo!

This is my first lo of my family album. I used the mojo challenge to help me. They have a lovely site with lots of challenges, there is a link on the right.

This is my granny and I in her garden in 1976, I miss her she was a good friend.

I found 2 excellent sites for buying stash and they are based in ireland. Craft factory and the scrapbook store, the links are on the side. Its much easier to shop when its in euros, oh and dangerous ha ha. But it is nice not to have to wait so long for the goddies to arrive. Im spending a fortune, but i was warned when i started all this!
