Its Finally Published!

After much anticipation and waiting on my part, My Tree Hugger layout is finally published and viewable at Scrapbooking.com Magazine!

Guest Designing at Scrapper's Block?

Good morning! (Sort of... afterall, it is Monday)

A few weeks ago, I entered my layout "My Life" into Scrapper's Block's Challenge #3 where you were to incorporate metal into your layout. Lucky me was announced the winner of the Challenge and as a result, I was honoured to be their Guest Designer for this week's challenge.

This week, Challenge #4 wants to see any pages about Sight, Hearing, Smell, Touch or Taste - your Senses! "We have all heard the sayings 'wake up and smell the coffee', 'feel the burn' and taste of your own medicine' but now is the time to incorporate these all important senses into you LO's." You have 2 weeks to get your layouts in so don't delay!

Delightful You

Here's a layout I did of my darling daughter in her birthday dress and matching hat - she always has a smile on her little face. For added texture and dimension, I used a pizza box and tore it up, inked it and voila!

Close up of the butterflies I cut out from K&Co's Designer paper pad - awesome paper for little cut out embellies!

I cut strips into the background paper and curled up the paper with the edge of scissors.

This wooden tree was originally green but I inked it pink and added grungeboard for the trunk. Added a few flower buttons and another butterfly!
