Thanks and a little scrapping....

Thank you to everyone for all your hints and comments about what to put on my blog - I'm going to start implementing a lot of the great ideas.... if you haven't already done so, there's still time to leave a comment on this post to be in the running for the prize on offer!

Ok - scrapping.... I've done very little of this but am really starting to get into it and enjoy it - it truly does become addictive after a while. And its so much fun incorporating stamps into it too - have to use the rubber!!! and ink!!!



This is a 6x6 layout using all SU! goodies.
Cardstock is Very Vanilla, and the photo is matted using Sage Shadow and Orchid Opulence.
Inks used throughout are Orchid Opulence and Sage Shadow
The set used to make the background is Winged Things and Itty Bitty Backgrounds (the fly spot one for the Sage dots). The butterfly is stamped in black stazOn and coloured with Orchid opulence and Sage Shadow watercolour wonder crayons - these are AWESOME and the set of 48 is on the retiring list for us - so this month is the last chance for Aussies to grab the set of these - after this month they'll be available in colour families (which will add to more $$$ to get them all). Then I've used various alphabet sets to make the words and cut out the pieces, sponged the edges - and thats pretty much it.

Some of the words and the butterfly have been mounted up higher using Stampin' Dimensionals ® to give the page some texture - and the buttons from the Soft Subtles finish it off.

Thanks for looking!

I knew you would succumb eventually- all of your own doing too!!!! 6x6 is probably a better size for you to scrap in as you don't have to fill in too much area and you can use your rubber thingies to make the background (oh, they're called stamps aren't they!). I LOVE the page, especially the way you changed the photo to purple hues. LOVE IT! KAG xxx
