My Time

Here's a fun project I created for the Graphic 45 September challenge found on their blog. You were to do a project, other than a layout, about yourself. Not an easy task to create a project about me and even harder to do something other than a layout.

BUT

I did manage to get enough inspiration to complete this altered clock.


The papers are all Graphic 45 (obviously). I plan to hang it in my scrap area to remind me that its okay to do the things I love (surf the net, scrapbook, daydream, etc.) and not feel guilty about it!!

Close up of some fussy cutting. I added some berries that I had purchased from a flower bunch at Michaels.

Close up of the Title which reads: The Time You Enjoy Wasting Is Not Wasted Time. So true don't you think? Alphas are from Making Memories and I just lightly inked them to match the off white/vintage paper.


The clock is from MyKi and I simply added some keychain link around it to give it a little extra umph! Border punch is from Martha Stewart - love it!

Here is a close up of some detailed elements - mini frame with Graphic 45 cut outs. Hard to tell, but I added Glossy Accents to the clock wings.

Scrapping Out Loud! Guest Designer

Good Tuesday morning everyone. Its with great pleasure that I announce my guest design spot over at Scrapping Out Loud! today!

This week their challenge is to use doodling on your projects. It can be on the paper, flowers, embellies or even right onto your pictures, just doodle it!!!

Here is my layout, inspired by the wonderfully talented Ingrid from Scrapbook.com!

I used only cardstock and some tiny flowers from petaloo as well as 2 prima flowers - that's it! I traced grungeboard swirls onto my cardstock and then cut them out and doodled away with my white and black journaling pens!

Don't forget to use the word of the week and the sketch of the week in your layout for extra chances to win their monthly prize!

Its Reveal Day

Sketch #71 is up at Creative Scrappers and its AMAZING! I loved working with this one - so versatile and so many elements.

Here is the sketch we got to work with this week. I just love reveal day - so interesting to see how many different projects come out of 1 simple design.

Had fun with my Graphic 45 papers and some flowers that I bought from Michaels!
