My Happy Place...

After much surfing on the net, I realised so many scrappers have amazing views from their scrap rooms. But I don't. My view is boring - concrete and and wood. Blah! So I decided I needed to create my own view. And here it is!!! My own happy place, with my own bright and colourful view for inspiration. I used a Scrapware Shadow Box Kit as my base. I painted it white then went to town with Prima papers, flowers and bling!!! I kept the frame a light shade of pink so as not to detract from the "view". (-:

Close ups and details...the cloud is from My Little Shoebox.

I added Jo Sonja Opal Dust to the centre of the flowers.

The tree stamp is from Prima.

Lots of bling and pearls...I wanted it to reflect a richness of colour.

Pencil Lines Sketch 184

Sketch 184 is up over at Pencil Lines. Our guest designer this week is Stacey Young (from Australia).

Here's my take on the sketch. Titled: Summer Play. I have misted the background with a white Glimmermist to soften the colour of the kraft cardstock. And I have outlined my alpha stickers in black pen to help them "pop" off the page.

Zva Creative Blog Hop Continued...

Here's the sketch that I got from Jana Eubank's blog. Details for the blog hop can be found here.

And here's my take on the sketch. I tilted the sketch, then flipped it over. I loved Jana's Halloween theme, so I borrowed that. I didn't have any themed Halloween paper that matched the sketch, so I used Sassafrass instead. I've added some Pink Paislee alphas and chipboard, a little Glimmermist, a Zva Creative bling flourish, rhinestones and doodling, and I'm done!

First Time For Somethings...

Look what I made - my first ever tag!!! Yes, I know I have been scrapping for more than 4 years, but I've never made a tag before? Why? It might have something to do with the fact that my first love is layouts and I just didn't think I would enjoy creating anything as much as I enjoy creating layouts. But I was wrong. This held my fascination as much as a layout ( I don't get that feeling so much when making cards). I can see a lot more tags in the future because this was definitely addictive (in a good way!!!)
