Click here to see some new releases from A 2 Z Scraplets. Fabulous stuff!! This is one of my LO’s using new scraplets; the words Life Time:

I have painted the chipboard wirds with blue crackle paint, and then I used some dimensional magic too. Love the effect!! Other products used: Prima all the way, apart from the lace – that’s Webster’s Pages, and the white Bazzill cardstock sprayed with glimmermist. And yes, it’s another old photo of me. It’s from the same shoot as the other one I shared with you the other day, from 1999!! I just found them hiding in a drawer…
Back to bed for me, I’m having a bad day today… See ya!

First I’d like to say a BIG thank you for all your nice comments and congratulations about my spot on Up2Scrap’s Elite team in 2010. I’m still buzzing about that!!! Keep checking the blog during the next few days, there will be presentations of everyone in the team!
Then – please go check out this month’s sketch over at A 2 Z Scraplets blog. It’s a faaaabulous sketch this months, by the extremely talanted Swedish lady Monika/moma. This is the sketch:

This is my take:

Products used: Lily Bee pp’s, chipboard circle is A 2 Z Scraplets – I sprayed it with “graphite” glimmermist, Prima flower & leaves, KikkiK ribbon, alphas from October Afternoon & American Craft. Have also used black pearlmaker, and an “e” from Prima.
Right, that’s me for today. Back to the scrapping table!!!

So…. Got some more stuff to share from the weekend! First a LO that I’m submitting to this month’s challenge over at Let’s Get Shabby. This month the challenge is to make your own embellishment. Mine is quite obvious – the fan!

This LO is on it’s way down to Invercargill as we speak. Because this beautiful girl is not mine.
Mrs Frizz had the choice to get a photo scrapped by me as a part of her RAK if she wanted to, and she sent me this gorgeous photo!
Products used: Prima pp, flower, leaves and bling, have used a Martha Stewart punch, some misc feathers & pins, and another one of my MIL’s old satin curtains. The alphas are Karisercraft chipboard that have been painted, glimmermisted & then I’ve sprinkled some lovely diamond dust on them! I hope you like it Mrs F!
The next LO is for the latest sketch over at the Swe Scrapbook blog. Not at all shabby as you can see!!!

Products used: Bazill white cs, BG Eskimo Kisses pp, & alphas, BG doilie pp, Pink Paislee & Jenni Bowlin alphas, Prima flower & leaves. Butterflies are done with the Martha Stewart butterfly punch. The title says “Summer is here”.
So. Two totally different LO’s today. And I might be back tomorrow again, with some more STUFF!! Oh – and lookie here…

After a WHOLE weekend of scrapping, I came home with 14 LO’s! Am very happy about that! Most of them are some sort of DT work, and I can’t show them today, but I have a couple that I can share with you!
This first LO is for the challenge over at Zest blog:

The papers, brad & sticker borders are all Pink Paislee, I’ve used an old book page as well. I have inked with Distress ink, & glimmermisted over some Tim Holtz masks. Rub ons are BoBunny, alphas are Prima & then there are misc buttons, some sewing & a chain on there as well. Does anyone know how old that photo of me might be???
Then, this LO is for the new weekly challenge over at the Sketchbook. The challenge is to scrap the “not so perfect photos”. I’m sure we ALL have them!

Have used the BG Eskimo Kisses papers & alphas, Prima flowers, BG brads & Webster’s alphas.
The last LO I can share is the one I did for the challenge pack we got over the weekend. It’s all BoBunny paper & Prima pearls, flowers & I also added some Prima alphas.

Thanks for stopping by, will be back VERY SOON with more stuff to share! Promise!!

Just wanted to share the two LO’s I’ve done the last few nights, while feeling blah…
They are for Australian challenge blogs.

Prima, Prima, Prima on this one, and als0 flowers form BoBunny & ZVA Creative, pearls from Kaisercraft, pins from Spotlight, and then I’ve used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Alphas are also Prima, and American Craft. I just LOVE that photo of Tova!

Papers and alphas are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. Love the colours, and the fact that you don’t have to scrap Christmas photos with this range! Brads are also BG, some other range, and then there are some Prima flowers, misc charm & tags, and then some pearlmaker.
That’s it. Over and out! Thanks for visiting!!!

Yes… Unfortunately I still feel a bit under the weather. I’m not REALLYL sick, but am not feeling great either. There’s a constant headache lingering, and you know. I just feel BLAH!
Anyway, I wanted to share with you my FIRST LO for A2Z Scraplets!!! It’s a LO for the October blog challenge, that you still have time to enter!! I was inspired by the colours in the ad, and the design of the ad.

The scraplets I have used are the two lovely flowers. I have painted them with blue and green crackle paint from Ranger. Love the effect! You can find them in Scrappin’ Patch’s shop! Other products used: October Afternoon pp’s, alphas and embellies, Webster’s Pages alphas, Prima pebble and some twine.
Right. Better get back to my girls. They are over their last flu, but Tova’s got some nasty cough today, so will have to see what’s gonna happen with that…
Have a great Thursday!
