PROOF

Here is the proof that I am still managing to find a little bit of time for scrapbooking. I had fun doing this layout, using my new glimmer mist and stamps and it's not square!!! I am slowly trying to break free from the 12" x 12" restrictions I have set in my mind, so I thought I would start with a corner and who knows where I will go to from there.

ENJOY YOUR DAY, WE ARE.

HAS ANYONE SEEN MY HORMONES?

Here is my take on the mixed media challenge over at Blue Bazaar. This month's challenge is pens/markers.

I used blendable pens to colour in the bubbles on bubble-wrap. I then pressed the wrap to the file card. This makes a really cute background, it's something I thought up at one of those 2am awake times I seem to have quite frequently. Sometimes I wish my brain would just rest but then again I have my most creative ideas in the early hours of the morning.

To make up the rest of the file card:
1. cut out file card from cardstock or heavy paper
2. ink edges
3. do your bubble-wrap background
4. tear a piece of patterned paper and ink edges front and back
5. scrunch up paper, flatten out, roll,tear or fold edges
6. glue on patterned paper
7. add napkin image by glueing under napkin then stippling glue over the top (my napkin is from g over in Canada, isnt it gorgeous?)
8. add velvet ribbon and twisty tie.

Have fun

HI THERE

Well it's been a busy week, not a very crafty week unfortunately, but busy anyway.
The new challenge is up for the Aussie Dares challenge, head on over here and see what everyone has come up with. I was asked to be a guest designer for this month's challenge which is "words, words, words". I had heaps of fun with this one, so thank you Rebecca for asking me.
I really hope to do something to do with scrapbooking this week, well we will see how we go!

Here's a look at what I came up with for the challenge.
