All things Tim!!!

My regular readers would know about the 'wee crush' I have for the super talented Tim Holtz, especially after doing his class, while he was here in Sydney! Hehe that 'wee crush' should really read 'huge crush' ;)
With this layout I've basically incorporated his 'signature tag' to my layout! I so love these stamps & the colours worked perfectly with this cheeky photo of my girl.

 

The next is a card I created by simply adding the tag to it! Again using more of my Tim Holtz stamps & distress inks.

 

For this one I gave the alcohol inks a try...hehe I think a bit more practice is required ;) he makes it all look so easy, but I managed to create some dark backgrounds...LOL will use those for male cards :)

 

 

Thanks for stopping by...a huge, huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I really do appreciate the time you take to leave me one x

Happy scrapping!

Weekend scrapping!

I found some time to finish off a couple of layouts over the weekend...

 

This one was kept fairly simple & ended up using some of the scraps from the previous layout, worked well using similar colours ;)

 

Thanks for stopping by & a huge thank you for your lovely comments...I really do appreciate you taking the time x
Happy scrapping!

Canvas play...

Whilst at retreat the previous weekend, we set a canvas challenge for the girls to get messy with! It was inspired by the lovely Lisa who joined us previously...we all adored her style & what she created with her canvases.
I wanted to create an 'affirmation canvas' for myself to keep me focused on positive thoughts...this is what I came up with.

 

I really struggled with chosing a single affirmation that I liked, but then realised I wanted something that would change with me, so have used these cards from Lousie Hay, which I can change day to day...mood to mood ;) The background was created using glimmermists, paint & crafters templates...haha just a few of my favourite things!
Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments, I really do appreciate each & every one of them x
Happy scrapping!

September already...

...& spring has sprung! I'm so looking forward to enjoying some warmer weather & being free from the cold & flu season.
I have been very quiet lately, but I'm pleased to say that I have been scrapping! :) I ended up entering the Scrapbooking Memories Masters Competition! In all honesty, I had given up hope after being endlessly plaqued with illness, but a gorgeous & supportive friend gave me a 'nudge'! LOL after removing her boot from my butt ;) I scrambled to get myself into gear. I think the lack of time ended up on my side, haha I didn't have time to over think things. I'm so thankful I entered, I know I would have been disappointed if I hadn't again. Whatever the outcome...I am happy! Good luck to all who entered this year!
Now onto scrapping that I can share...last weekend I had the fun of retreat, this is some of what I did...

This next layout started after reading the fabulous article from Marelize in SBM Vol 14 # 8,  on creating your own doily using a corner punch...simply brilliant, I just had to give it a try! The title of this layout comes from the fact that my girl is a mad, obsessed 'One Direction' fan & this song plays constantly in our house!

  

 

'Messy Delight' is an old Scrap The Boys challenge a few months ago on using a messy photo & using it as inspiration.

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge, huge thank you for all your lovely comments :) they do mean so much to me x
Happy scrapping!
