Memories from Dublin

Hi all, I want to show you today a mini I made ages ago. It had been sitting on my shelf for long before I gave it to a friend last weekend. I used October aftrenoon papers and stickers. I haven't decorated it too much, so she can put lots of photoes in it. I made some pics. (Sorry for the quality of the pics :(, I have taken the photoes with my phone and seems my hand was a bit shaky)





 I hope you like it thanks for visiting,

#4 from 30 LOs

Hi all, today is the day when I show you my fourth layout of the 30. This layout was inspired by Donna Downey's Inspirational Wednesday. Just put the colours where it feels good, don't think too much,  just play with the media you have. I did so.


It's a bit different in colour, as I don't use too much of pinks and purples.
So, do you like it?

#2 from 30 LO's

hey, back today with another LO from my own 30LO's challenge. This time I used the scketch from over at Creative Scrappers, which I really liked because found it is a low horizon composition structure. I know, cos I'm taking part in Claudine Hellmuth's Composition for Collage class on Big Picture Classes and this weeks topic was horizon composition structure :D.  So let me show what I came up with:
So? do you like it? I must admit that I am pretty happy with the results. I built the whole thing onto a BG ledger paper. Stencilled letters and dots, then stamped some cirles/flowers. You cannot tell that I love masking tape, can you ?? I made a black mist from just acrylic and water poured into a spray botlle. It sprays in big drops, but I like it. The other mist was Juniper from Tattered Angels. Some Prima felt flourish and ready :D Oh no, not just yet. I had to try my new Liquitex Glass bead texture  gel ... WOW Can you see, little glass beads?? I coloured the with some perfect pearls :)

Love textures as you know, so it is somethink that I will defo use again.
let me if you like it...

#1 from 30 LOs

Hi all, I haven't been blogging for a while now again. Oh well, that's me :D. Today's the day when I reveal the first layout of the 30 in my 30 LO before I turn 30 challenge. I have used the sketch from over Skethcy Thursday. I like to alter the sketches a bit, using them in a different way. I had to turn this one as well, I only had landscape photos. I inked (paint-ed) up my new Prima stamp, this is absolutely fab,  I think it's called Hollyhocks, or something like this. Here's my little creation.

So? what do you think? I won't show you now how messy my fingers are :D Used a little sewing machine again, it gives sucha great texture and to make the LO dimensional, all the elements are popped on foam adhesive. And for the title I used some American crafts Thickers ( you can't have enough of them).
The first one is completed on time, let's see what I creat next week. If you want to read about the photos, pop over to the 30 LO before I turn 30 page
Thanks for stoppin by,
