My Boys...

...I LOVE my boys!!! Even when they don't co-operate when I want photos!

Not only does Alex close his eyes DELIBERATELY he also manages to make all sorts of weird and wonderful faces as well. Instead of 'filing' such photos in the recycle bin I thought I would scrap some of them for future generations to enjoy!!!

There are a few aspects of this double LO that I was pretty pleased with.

Firstly, I have so many metal embellishments in my stash and yet I hardly ever use them BUT they did get a good workout on this double LO.

Secondly, I struggle to use flowers on my LO's as I don't usually do any girly girl LO's BUT I did manage to stamp a flower image around the edges of this LO without it taking away from the boysy grunge look.

Sneak Peek...

It's been a while since I have posted a Sneak Peek so here goes

..This little sneaky pic is a hint of what is to come with the latest monthly pack from Scrapville. There are lots of interesting interpretations using this pack and it is turning out to be quite the versatile range of papers and embellishments. Check out the blog and get one for yourself before they all sell out!

That's it for me,

Until next time Happy Scrappin'

Playing catch up

......Life just keeps getting in the way!!!

I had a weekend away recently and this was the last LO I managed to squeeze in before packing up and heading home. The green and white background is using the Paper Lace Cricut cartridge and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE that cartridge!!! Of course it happened to be one of the fellow scrappers in attendance but I think I NEED to get me my very own!

I have had this stamp set from Stampin' Up for

a little while now but never used it so I was just

having a play around with it and LOVED how this

flower worked so well with the LO. I wanted

to make more but thought it would overdo it just a tad!

This is a double LO I did a little while back but I was so happy with it that I thought I would share it with you. The frame around the LH page took me hours to fussy-cut (well it seemed like hours but may have been a little less than that!) but I think it was well worth it.

The alphas started life as green/blue alpha stickers but

they didn't suit the LO that colour but I just HAD to

use the eclectic fonts so I inked them and finished

them off with Dimensional Magic.

Side by side...

That's it for me for now.

Happy Scrappin'!
