My Christmas message

Thank you to all my Blog friends out there for visiting during the year (whether you left a comment or not) it was very much appreciated. I hope you have a truly wonderful Christmas and that 2013 will be all that you hoped for. I'm looking forward to all the new challenges and inspiration that the paper crafting world can throw at me in the new year xx

Clean & simple

Good morning! Among the chaos of the Christmas rush I've managed another challenge. I haven't made a clean & simple page for ages & with this layout I didn't want to take too much focus away from the photo so I kept if simple. Although I did do some hand stitching which I haven't done for a long time - sewing + me = not a good combination. So here is the inspo from the girls over at http://stucksketches.blogspot.com.au/

Anyway thanks for dropping by once again! Have a great weekend.

The Paper Players #125

While I had my stash out today I thought I'd have a go at the current challenge over at http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com.au/  This is the colour challenge:

Three of my fave colours at the mo.......yum!   And here is my take:

I did the emboss-resist technique on this which I have so much fun doing & the tulle is so soft that it is really easy to do a neat bow.  Thanks again for looking :)

The Orange Paperie & Co December Challenge

Hello peeps! I'm a tad over the Xmas card making at the mo & decided have a go at the December challenge over a http://www.orangepaperieandco.blogspot.com.au/  This is a sketch challenge & the criteria is to use the sketch as inspo, a Xmas pic & non-traditional colours.

I decided to go with a monochromatic layout this time & used some gesso, glimmer mist & liquid pearls, a little bit of embossing as well. And as you can see lots of distressing.

Thanks for dropping by & I hope you have a fantastic week :) xx
