Once Upon A Sketch

Slow Going Around Here


Hasn't been too much scrapping going on here lately... have only managed to get some DT work up to date.  Still having some computer problems which is driving me nuts and hubby is away at the moment, so it won't be looked at until Monday night... I so hope it's an easy fix problem.

I am hoping to get a few challenges done next week and I have 3 classes on Sat and Sun at the Papercraft Expo which I am really looking forward to, so I should be able to show some creations next week.

Live in the Moment







Here is my take on this month's Once Upon a Sketch challenge.  I decided to use a gorgeous Scrapmatts chipboard frame as the focus for this LO.  I painted the chippie black and added some flowers and leaves and a border of lace around the frame.  The muslin background I sprayed with scarlet glimmer mist for a lovely contrast with the black chipboard.  I also used a Glitz Design stamp for the journaling spot which reads:  "Brittany, Always remember to live in the moment and make so beautiful that it will be worth remembering."
A few MS punched butterflies with button and pearl centres to finish off and add a bit more contrast against the red and black.
