It needs a title

Do you ever have those days? Or weeks? Or that project that just won't get finished no matter how hard you try? Well, I have one of those. I have done the title on this layout twice already. Chipboarded, painted, stickled, sanded, the whole she-bang!! Twice the whole she-banged title has gone awry!! Maybe this is a message that I picked the wrong title? I titled it "Little Helper", feel free to let me know if you think it should something else, maybe I just got it wrong... Titles have never been my forte!

Take care of each other,

see you soon.

You've got to see these flowers!

This is a layout I did recently and I have to say there is a couple of things I think worked out really well. I started with a Heidi Swapp embossed board and I layered about 100 Glimmer Mists over it and then Rub and Buff. It came up really well, probably better in real life.

These flowers are the "#1", "Star-of-the-Day", "Holy-Moly! That worked!" part of the layout I love!! They are calico cut with the Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers die. Glimmer Misted and layered up to make 3D flowers and then just arranged in a little posy!!

Mmmmm, yum!! Get ready to see these flowers around a bit more, in fact you'll know my work from one hundred paces... I can hear it now... "Oh Megan and those bloody calico tattered flowers. Is she ever gonna get over them!?" Nah! Well not until the next fantastic thing comes along, LOL!!!

Not Brand New

I did these two layouts a while ago. One was for my Scrap-a-Sketch class and one was for Scraptivate DT (I think). I haven't posted them till now because I am not altogether happy with the photos I took, I get the feeling that it might have been a late night shoot!

I just never get sick of chipboard and Glimmer Mists, and although I like strong colours, this bright layout would normally not have been on my radar, but it just suits Eliza to a T.

Yep, more chipboard and Glimmer Mists. And of course LEAVES! For someone who doesn't like gardening, man, I love flowers and leaves. I still have to have a chuckle when I see this, yep I got out the corner rounder, and used it for... corner rounding! A little bit CM for my usual taste.

I love this boy soooo much. He is such a trial for me, but he is also such a treasure. I really don't think I would be here right now if it weren't for God giving him to me when he did. We are so alike, I know what he is thinking before he even gets to having the thought. He has come through for me soooo much in the last couple of months while Mum has been under the weather. While I am sooo proud of him, at the same time I am so broken hearted to see him grow up so much, I just know it brings me a step closer to when he leaves my nest to find his own way. I pray everyday that I am giving him enough of the tools he needs to be a happy, fulfilled, loving, responsible man.

Take care of each other,
see you soon.
