THE COLOUR ROOM #9


I just love this site.  The works created here are out of this world.  This is my take on the #9 palette.  The colours are absolutely scrummy, really enjoyed this one.  Used lots of pps from Websters, Autumn Leaves MME, Bo Bunny, MM,  Daisy D & Scrapworks.  Decided to hand dye and cut up an old lace doily that was my mum's to add a bit of texture.  Hand cut the Websters and Autumn Leaves pp's for those gorgeous flowers and punched the Daisy D pp with the Martha Stewart doily lace border punch.  Added an old lace flower given to me by my lovely neighbour with a touch of bling peeping out from the distressed edging and a Prima flower with a Prima bling centre.  The floral sticker under the title is from LYB and I recycled the strip at the bottom on the MME Tres Jolie pp for my title as it was very fitting for the page.  Just love how this turned out. 

Scrapbook & Papercraft Expo

Went to the Expo on yesterday with my friend Rebecca.   Found a few bargains and managed to purchase some gorgeous chipboard cutouts that I will use as masks for glimmermisting.  I went to the show determined not to buy any stamp sets, but of course I couldn't help myself when I say the Darkroom Door butterfly set... it's absolutely gorgeous and I can't wait to use it.

Rebecca and I went to a class by Petrina McDonald in the morning and made 2 LO's.  I didn't have the correct size on my photos so I tweaked and changed mine up a bit.  Still tweaking the other LO.  We made some cute ribbon flowers which were so simple and had a play with some paint for the background.. it's so much easier to apply with a credit card.  This is what I came up with.
