Personal scrapping...

These last couple of weeks have simply been mad!!! My eldest girl has just jetted off to Japan, which has added to the rush & pushed my emotions to the limit...
Hehe nothing like doing things last minute...I did this 'thank you' card, for her host family, rather late the night before she left. Kept it fairly simple due to the late hour by using some stamps, glimmermist & a tissue paper flower...half the work is done with these gorgeous tags from Tattered Angels!

& because I was up @ a ridiculous time (2.45) in the morning...rather than going back to bed, I scrapped...
On this layout I've printed my photo, which was taken by Lou @ the Forever Always Retreat last year, onto the same Tattered Angels tag. For my background, I've handwritten affirmations over & over again to fill the whole page (bit like the old theory of writing out your lines 100 times...hopefully it sinks in!) & then used glimmermist & my new Prima bird mask.

Here is a close up shot of the stamping, using a couple of shades of Perfect Pearls.

Thanks for stopping by...your comments are always appreciated.

Happy scrapping.

Layouts to share!

Sadly, my mojo has taken a huge hit over the last month with the events going on around here! I'm also still struggling with that 'balance'...hopefully I find it quickly, 'cause I'm itching to play again!!!
'She rocks' layout came simply from my desire to use this new brick template I bought with my prize over @ Scrapboutique. I can see it featuring in a few of my layouts...simply love it!


Hehe, can you tell I stocked up on new masks to play with...more of them still waiting to experiment with!!!

Thanks for stopping by...happy scrapping!

Forever Always - new stock!

Sonia has been shopping...there are some gorgeous new additions to the store. Here is a small taste of what is new, as I got to play with 'Ruby Rock it' - The Summerhouse range.
I have got to show you a close-up of their gorgeous crochet flowers...love them!

Check out the Forever Always store for this & more in this beautiful range.

Hope everyone enjoys their 'fathers day' weekend!

Spring has sprung...

How wonderful that spring is here :)

With a new month, comes new challenges & here is the Forever Always September sketch. Upload your layouts here...looking forward to seeing your creations.
Will be back later with my take on this sketch.

Happy scrapping everyone!
