Right, a last minute decision to enter the "F" challenge on "Southern girls challenge"! I altered a canvas with gesso, and then added screwed up tissue papaer.
painted with turqoise and whte and gloss gel medium all mixed together.
Then i cut up some fairies from off a childrens party tablecloth thats paper from a clearence shop and stuck them on with pva.
Of course did the whie and black thing around the edges with zig painty pens and accented some of the magazine cut outs with them as well.
Got to bed at 12.00pm hoping it didnt look to bad, as the wrinkled tissue paper made it really hard to draw on with the pens...wont do that again!  Will sell it at fair!
Forgot to mention, love to add corrugated board from an old box around the edges and painted them with left over paint in a very slapped on way so it didnt look perfect.

Layout for "Southern Girls Challenge" (link on previous post or off the badge).  July Challenge is "Warm Fuzzies".  Usually when i look at the boys baby photos i usually go "awwwhhh"! Just the thought of cool, soft chubby cheeks and little cuddly bodies is a heart melter for me.
Products used: paper - stampnup - old stock. Marion Smith papers, Little darlings g45, corrugated board fancy pants - with paint. Chippie is from Scrapware, its painted and pen stitched ( faux) paint around edges and of course, paper edges distressed too with a distresser.

Titled "Baby Cheeks".

2013 Circle Journal

OH ME OH MY!!!! This was to be a mixed media journal about the things I liked things about me!
Well used glossy cardstock and alcohol inked and, then with texture paste pressed a stamp into it and stamped onto the inked card, then stamped in ink ontop on the paste once dry. ( love doing this) Also random stamped with staz on in a dark colour. went around the edges with a painty pen in white and black.
The words are mounted onto corrugated board and used tinfoil negitive surrounds from the donna salaazar word dies (spellbinders) . Also into dictionary pages, so used this as an element for a frame and words.
Love the colours and how it turned out...colourfull and modern!!

Teen Birthday layout

This is my eldest son Lachlan turning 15! What a challenge doing teen layouts...younger is soo much easier! Well this was a challenge for Dusty Attic...as usual my supply of D/A chippies is dismal. I had on hand only this drippy goo borders, infact, i think these were the negitive remains! so painted them and embossed the D/A hinges and made a rustic fence and embossed that, added a DA cog. Used a paper with the circle&star and mounted it on to a plain pc of cardstock.

Travel Page layout

With this page i challenged myself with using layers!! and incorporating multi photos, i seem to only use one photo when im entering a challenge (mostly) but in my private stuff seem to use at least 2 or 3 photos per layout. Papers 7gypsies and stamps. A mask in the corner, compass, Tim Holtz flower die and tulle flowers on top.

Boys Dinosaur Banner

These papers are from MME and are rather old now..3yrs ago? But Still so gooood! The sizes are about 20cm wide and 30cm high. I still like the clean cut lines without to much fuss, and you have room for a photo on each one to hang in a bedroom.  I made them in triangles and rectangles with circles out of each corner (with a circle punch,easy) .
