Happy Visitor

Today, I've just spent a lovely day with Sheena. She came over to visit driving her lovely car - complete with eyelashes - WOW! just love it.




The idea was for us to scrap/crochet but we spent the day catching up.





Never mind - maybe next time - lol x

Happy 13th Birthday , Millie

Products used: Studio Calico - wood veneers, stamp, Mr Huey mists; Tim Holtz ticket; Nestibilities; washi tape; bakers twine; mini tag - East of India; Kesi'Art paper;

SJ Papercraft Blog Challenge - May/June 2012

Withe one thing another I've been unable to join in with these challenges over the past few months, but now things are settling down, I decided to give it a go, and hope that I can continue to take part.

So over on SJ Papercraft Blog, here , this month challenge is up and this is my take. The challenge is to produce a layout about a boy. So off I went and produced this,

Totally Cool- using Simple Stories - Awesome Collection




then I realised that there was an added challenge to incorporate something old,

So after some throught I came up with the idea to add some stamp details over the page, I've had these stamps for ages, at least 2 years so they more than qualify. I've used a mixture of inks on the images to tone with my page.


then added some Maya Road chipboard stars, which I misted. Again somethings I've had in my stash for ages.



and the final close up of the banner details.



Thanks for stopping by ...
