Twisted Sister

Well... for the week that is.

Its with great pleasure that I am Guest Designing with Twisted Sketches for the week. What an awesome sketch blog! Every Wednesday they provide you with a sketch to work with for your projects and then they add an extra little twist to give you something to help inspire you to create.

Sketch #13 is up and ready to inspire you. This week's twist is to use TAPE - any type of tape - from Adhesive Tape, to Fabric Tape to home DIY Tape and the ever useful masking tape.



With my layout, I used masking tape along the border of my layout to help achieve a distressed look.


A tiny prima flower from their nursery tales collection fit perfectly in my daughter's headband

Here's a close up of the distressing I achieved with the masking tape.

September Reveal at Scrapbook Star

Its September!!! There's a new kit ready for you at Scrapbook Star and if you like bright colours and bold patterns - you'll LOVE it! We were lucky enough to play with the newest line from Nikki Silvis - Henry's Brilliance. Such perfect back to school papers!

I actually managed to do 5 layouts with this kit and they are all COMPLETELY different!! I will show them all gradually over the next week or so - stay tuned!

My first reveal is below! I just love how the orange combined so well with the kraft colours in the cardboard and packing paper (literally from the box the kit was shipped in!!)


Added a little stitching with my trusty burlap, twirled up some pieces of twine for the centres of the flower (which I inked with the awesome shimmer ink included in the kit) and added a little sparkle with the tiny flowers and their bling centres.

Published

Just a quick post to share that my "My Girl" layout has been published in the September issue of Scrapbooking.com Magazine.

It’s a big month for Scrapbooking.com Magazine! Paris Hilton has joined their staff as a contributor and will be submitting a regular monthly article in the Teen Section. Head on over for a peek!!
