Scrapbook Socialites

Team Lou is focusing on 'Nature' this time round, so I thought I'd do my own kind of spin on it.  I'm not normally a flowery kinda girl but this kind of flower well yeah I like it! As I said I thought I'd do something a bit different - this is water colour on canvas. I like to think of them as funky flowers, or depending on how some of them turn out freaky flowers! So the idea here is to obviously paint the flowers on using water colour and then outline everything that you see.  Each person see's things differently too which is the great thing about it.  Here's a peek at what an area can look like before the outline and after. Because it's water colour you can control the depth of colour.  It would look great as a layout background too - Just remember to first apply some clear gesso to your paper. Once again we have some fabulous sponsors, so please pop onto their websites and pay them a visit! Krafters Cart ...

Welcome back it's that time again - yes another challenge!!! This months challenge theme is party sponsored by  Crafty Ribbons .  I took the theme of party and kinda went in the direction of invitation meets surprise.  Here's what I came up with - hope you like it! When I think about a party, even though I've never had one I think of a surprise party.  And so here the surprise is hidden on the inside.  I used a resist pattern paper and then added some Heidi Swapp shine to it, I love the way that it sparkles! Happy crafting everyone.

Hi there and welcome!  So today is my first post as a new Design team member over at the  Southern Girls Challenge  - I'm very excited to be on the team. Ok, so the theme of this challenge is about circular embellishments....sequins, buttons, flair etc if you can think of it then it applies.  I couldn't help myself so I went with some spotted paper too...it's circular so it counts right lol Aren't kids just adorable when they are asleep!  This photo was taken after a rather restless night of sharing an inflatable bed with my daughter...the girl is a wriggler! I bought the paper collection (Prima Rose Quartz) back in July 20107 - I just loved it and it's romantic/dreamy feel.  I had no plans or any ideas what I was going to do with it until this challenge came about, and I remembered about the page with the circles...and so it all began. Anyway I liked the way that the circles kinda looked like thought bubbles like you see in cartoons lol.  A...

It's Christmas Time!!!  I love this time of year ...When I was younger it used to be all about the presents and the food, when your a kid what else is there lol.  As I've grown older and had children of my own I love creating the Christmas atmosphere, that feeling of anticipation that something great and magical is about to happen.  I enjoy seeing the pleasure on people's faces when they receive something that they weren't expecting - and so as a family we love giving out Christmas cards which usually have some form of wee gift associated. This year the kids have been doing a whole of dancing, swimming and sports etc so I had a lot of cards to make. I went back to a tried and true sketch that I just love it's so versatile - great timing to fit in with the Reminder post for  Let's Craft and Create Challenge #132!   Happy Christmas everyone!
