Once upon a sketch

Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to play with the sketch at the beginning of this month so really wanted to make sure I set out some time for the second half of the month as I really liked the sketch. So without further ado, here it is!

Really tried to stick to the sketch this time.

Thanks for dropping by.

Copic Marker card share!

They say practise makes perfect so I have been trying, not perfect but happy all the same. Not easy with only limited colours but so much fun. Placed a few bids on ebay for some more markers, fingers crossed I win them!

Thanks for popping in :)

Had a good day yesterday :)

In the morning I woke up to a lovely email from Dena from Webster's Pages telling me I got 'Banner of the Week' over at their ning site with my layout I posted in the previous post!

This is what they said about it:

This week's banner comes to us from inspireME member Hetty who hails from the Land Down Under. Hetty created this jaw dropping layout using our Country Estate Collection.

The combination of the neutral patterned paper colors with the burst of bright colors from the spray mist just make this really pop.
Congratulations on being the featured project of the week!

How amazing is that considering there are so many stunning projects in that gallery, I am completely blown away by this!

Then Wendy left me a lovely comment here on my blog saying I had been chosen as a featured winner on the Bird is the word challenge blog! :)

So good day indeed :)

Today we went over to my friend Julie's house as it was her daughter Lilly's birthday plus they just moved into their brand new house they built and it is beautiful, they did such a lovely job and it was great catching up with some of the other mums as well! Made a card for the occasion.



Products used are Webster's Pages and Scrapware chipboard.

Till  next time, hugs xx

Haven't scrapped this size photo for a while!

5" x 7" that is, used to scrap them all the time then went to smaller photos and just stopped scrapping this size. Funnily enough it is hard getting used to it again. Love this photo of Taylor, she is so beautiful, I know I am biased but I don't care, lol!!

Papers are Chanteuse by Kaisercraft - gorgeous range, with a little Dusy Attic and Prima accents thrown in.

Thanks for stopping by!

Scrapware sneek revealed!

A few posts back I posted some sneak peeks of my Scrapware entry for their blog. Well today I can share the whole project.

I covered the overlay with some Kaisercraft printed paper, inked the edges and sealed it with Mod Podge. I used a 12 x 12 canvas and ripped the canvas of the frame, sealed it with gesso and painted it with gold paint. I then adhered my overlay with foam dots to the frame. It was then decorated with some Webster's Pages printed paper, some Prima Flowers and more Scrapware chipboard, which I covered in some Tim Holtz crackle paint. To finish it of I used a whole sheet of Webster's Pages and curved it around the back, fastening it with sticky tape, so it gives the illusion of looking straight into it.
