Another weekends work.

Well we had no marching practice this weekend so I actually got some scrapping done! I am loving the range of My Minds Eye papers I picked up at the Warehouse. The colours are to die for and they are already distressed looking, but I still cant resist the urge to "stress" a wee tad more!! For some unknown reason I am so satisfied when I get out the sand paper and scratch down my papers and seeing all the sanding dust all over me or my desk just thrills me, I know (simple pleasures and all that!)

ABSOLUTELY in love.

Here is a photo of Steven and I taken by one of the kids on our family disco evenings. I actually used a sketch from 52 sketches in 52 weeks for this and this is my take on sketch 30.

A close up of the flower I cut out and kindy glitzed, and my distressing!

first day of SCHOOL

This is one of probably many photos I will take of the twins at school, but this was the first moment after the bell rang on their first day, on their birthday. These papers and colours just screamed to be scrapped and as I had already used sketch 30 that was sitting on my desk, I decided to use sketch 31 from 52sketches in 52 weeks.

A close up of the distressed edges and how I doodled the edges of the flower shapes. I had heaps of fun with my old compass from high school making circles and dividing them up to make the petal shaped edges on the circles, but it worked! Then adding some kaiser pearls, homemade and coloured flowers, and ribbon to go with the colour scheme and hey presto!
