MY BFF's a GD!!!

You may remember that my BFF Suzy won the July Scrapology challenge, the same month I was the Guest Designer.

Well, this month, Suzy is the Guest Designer at Scrapology after they sort of 'head-hunted' her!

And best of all, Madison is in her LO and what a fabulous LO it is too!!!

Well done Suzy :)

My BFF's a Winner!

The winner of the Scrapology July Challenge, that you may remember I was the Guest Designer for, was only my BFF Suzy - no nepotism involved! Honest!!!

It certainly is a fab LO, but then she always produces something fantastic!

Congratulations Suzy :)

Scrapology Card Challenge - July

Over on Scrapology, the lovely SJ of Little Musings set the Card Challenge of 'Anything but square' & the design team used her digital stamps. I was Guest Designer again and used a mix of digital stamps in Photoshop Elements to get the picture I wanted, before setting it out on A4 so I could print it and use it for decoupage.

I created a picture for myself rather than a card to give away. I like the picture too much :)


I used Tree Carving, Layered Liam & Layered Lillie. SJ includes a coloured version of the stamps as well as a blank version. I used the coloured version, just changing the girls top to blue. I added text to the heart 'A-squared' for me & Andy. The joy of being able to use PSE :)

Oops, I realized after I'd stuck everything together that as the heart is carved 'into' the tree, maybe I should've inverted the heart by creating more background layers instead & cutting the heart out!


Oh well, c'est la vie! I still like it & most things I make usually have an error somewhere, just to prove I'm not perfect!!! LOL

July - Scrapology Guest Designer

That would be me!!! :)

I was over the moon when I was asked to be guest designer at Scrapology for July :) This month, M is for Masks and this sketch from Liz Qualman.

I flipped the sketch because in the photo, Kyle was looking slightly to the left so it looked better for him to be looking towards the centre of the page.
So without further ado, here is my LO...

I'm sure I'm not alone in this, but I'll buy a mask, have lots of ideas how to use them, but then rarely use them because I forget about them - obviously I have too much stash!!!

I used a hexagon mask that I bought back in March, from 'That Special Touch' and sprayed it with Lemonade Mister Huey's. I also used the mist with a sponge at the bottom and with the mask again in the top right corner, cutting out the hexagons and backing with paper. I like this - may do this again soon!


The eagle-eyed amongst you may have spotted the green paper with the red dots - this was from using the Swiss Cheese punch on scrap paper then using Red Brick Distress Ink. I like this too - can see me using more of my border punches as a mask! :)

And another close up... So what do you think, I'd love to hear from you. And don't forget to pop over to Scrapology & take a look at the Design Teams creations - you could even take part in the challenge & get those masks out of storage!!!

Scrapology February Challenge

Finally!

Nothing like last minute again!!!

As soon as I saw this challenge on Scrapology using punches & a sketch, I knew I just had to take part - a perfect excuse (not that I need one really!) to use some of the fabulous Martha Stewart & EK Success punches I have. But as usual, I was completing other projects & the life of a little one doesn't always allow for lots of scrapping time, so before I knew it, the deadline of... today (eek!) was looming large!

But I've done it...

I love this photo of my little man with an early smile, but I ALWAYS look at it and see those Scratch Mitts - that would never stay on! I used to say they were the bain of my life!!!

And what I have I just noticed as I've uploaded it here - my first spelling mistake on a LO title! Oops!!! But I think I'll leave it like that and write a note on the back to find again in future years - maybe by another generation!
