So worst blogger ever is back with another post in the same week! 

Simon Says Stamp and Show is having a challenge this week for background stamps! I love using my PTI barnyard chicken wire stamp on my layout backgrounds, especially over top of a hexie stencil and gesso.

This is a layout of our day trip to Boston two summers ago. Lots of fun!

 Here you can see some close ups of the background...

WORST BLOGGER EVER......

I need to rename my blog to that title!!! It has been an insane few weeks. I thought I had better post something soon! 


The Simon Says Stamp challenge this week is for flowers! I thought I would link up this layout. 

I love the soft flowers on the MME background paper and I made this flower out of layers of different burlap.

 

Thanks for stopping by. I am going to try to be a better blogger!

Forever Family

Today I made a card for a dear friend. Her adoption of a special little boy has just become official! 

I thought it was perfect for the Moxie Fab World Emphasize the Negative challenge and the Passion for Papertrey negative die cut challenge.

Congrats Kristi!!! We are so thrilled for you and Dominic.

So Lucky

Thought I'd do another post while I had a chance and play along with Simon Says Stamp and Show Water Challenge.

This layout shows the ocean front at Glenelg near Adelaide. I used some mists and diluted paint for some colour on top of the texture effect stars.

Pretty crummy shot of the layout...sorry! Bad lighting today.

Here are some better detail shots...

Chevrons!

I have been a horrible blogger lately! It must be that time of year.

I decided to play along with Moxie Fab World's Chevron challenge. I adore chevrons and can't get enough of  them.

Thanks for stopping by!

Published...again!

I know I haven't posted anything in ages. Grrrrrrr....too much work! But here's a special layout I have been dying to share. It's in this month's Canadian Scrapbooker magazine! 

A very special layout of our trip to visit my dear friend Charlotte in Australia. 
 

I created the clouds with Martha's texture effect. Really cool! Plus a fussy cut banner.

I embossed more clouds into this vellum and made journalling with my Dymo label maker.

I rolled some flowers out of canvas, and hand folded some chevrons.

Thanks for stopping by!

Celebrate Today

This week, it's everything "metal" over at Simon Says Stamp and Show. I dug out this metal frame and matching brads from my stash for this birthday card. I love the spring-y colours on a cold snowy day like today!

Keep warm out there!!
