A favourite layout...

Hello again :) I can't believe it's now a month since Camp Mojo...eeek! & I still haven't had a chance to finish off all my retreat layouts! This one that I share today is probably one of my favourite's from the weekend...I simply love how it turned out!

The pic is one that my gorgeous sister took on her recent overseas trip. I've used a technique that I learnt with Finnabair while she was in Australia...using clear gel medium with a mask over papered paper & then inking over to highlight the masking.

& a close up of that masking...

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge, huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I do appreciate each & every one of them x
Happy scrapping!
PS. Have you done your layout for the KIU or 123 Challenge Blog??? I hope they are on your 'to do' list :)

More to share...

I'm not sure I can really call this "Day 4 share", since I've missed the weekend...it vanished in a blink of the eye!!! Anyways, more retreat layouts...

This one was super easy...I've had this paper for ages, so was keen to finally use it! I loved it just as it was, so simply added a flower & doily...gotta love layouts like that ;) I've realised I need to get more photos of the kids, I seem to be scrapping the same fav's :)

LOL I also need to vary my titles ;) This 2nd layout came together very quickly on the last day of the MOJO retreat...that weekend of 'mojo' must have finally kicked in & this was done in record time! I love these papers from Kaisercraft, it also helps to have the complete kit to work with :)
The next one below was the complete opposite, it came together over the two retreats! I really struggled with the mix of papers & the colours with the b&w photo, but am very pleased to finally have it done, as I love the photo of my 3 together! :)

Can you believe it...I still have more to share, including one of my favourite layout's of the weekend! Hopefully I'll get to finish them & share soon.

Day 3 share...

Third day of retreat layouts...I'm certainly making up for my 'slack blogger' status ;)

The next 2 layouts were actually completed while at retreat...most are still needing little finishing touches :)

I had a lot of fun creating this one, with a bit of influence from Ebony here (trying to replicate her dylusion spots)...though nothing like her amazing style, but I like it anyway! It's the process of simply playing that is the real fun!

& "A man @ 12" using more of MME papers which I adore...who would have thought I would have had use for the moustache, they are very 'in' right now!

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! They do add a smile to my day :) x
Happy scrapping!

Day 2 share...

More retreat layouts to share...

I love this photo of my girl, she's got amazing courage, determination & boldness!

More to come...happy scrapping!

Slack blogger catch-up!

As I said in my last post, I've been super slack at the blogging lately. I have been lucky enough to had a couple of weekends away @ retreats over the past couple of months, so it's not like I'm lacking stuff to share, so here's a start.

These photo's weren't the best, slightly fuzzy due to not using a flash & a pocket camera, but I love the pics! I printed them smaller than normal so it wasn't as noticeable.

Thank you for stopping by, as always...a huge thank you for all your lovely comments. I promise to also catch up on visiting blogs too ;)
Be back, hopefully tomorrow with more.

September Challenges!

Yep...another month is upon us! Good news is it's also Spring...yay! I have to say Spring is my favourite season...uplifting, fresh & new beginnings :)

For this glorious new month we have...

Over @ 123 Challenge Blog

I loved this challenge of pink, sweet & florals...this is what I came up with.

I absolutely adored these papers from My Minds Eye...to easy to put a layout together!

I do hope you'll join in this challenge this month, sadly the entries have been so low that the challenge site is at risk of closing down :( Check out the gorgeous creations from the DT here...looking forward to seeing your take on this months.

& over @ KIU, we have a fabulous sketch for you...

You can find the amazing DT creations here...I had fun with this sketch, it worked perfectly with the new mask I recently bought.

I look forward to seeing your takes on both these challenges.
Huge thank you for stopping by...I know I've been a super slack blogger of late! Too much of life getting in the way :/ I've certainly got loads to share...I've been lucky enough to have had 2 weekends away at retreats. Promise to share soon.
As always, a big thank you for all your lovely comments...they do mean so much to me & certainly brighten my day x
Happy scrapping!
