Some More 2Crafty Chipboard
Design Team Inspiration
"This Boy"


Hi everyone, thanks for stopping by.
Today I have a layout that was part of my February design team
inspiration for my favourite 2Crafty Chipboard.

I am also going to be teaching this one next month
in some classes I am doing up in Mackay in North Queensland.


Naturally it has lots of awesome 2Crafty chipboard pieces on it.


Some of the new 2Crafty "Wordstrips" too. I LOVE these.


A little bit of mixed media with a difference on the background &
 teamed with these cute little pinwheels & buttons & some burlap added for effect.


I have finished off with a cute little metal steampunk clock
tucked in at the side of my photo.

All finished. I hope you like it.

Until next time.....

NEW RELEASE KIT FOR MARCH
PLUS March Class

My More Than Words Challenge February Design Team Reveal
"Remember-A Trip Down Memory Lane"


Hi there friends, thanks for stopping by.
Today I have my design team reveal for the January challenge over at
More Than Words Challenge blog to show you.

PLUS I WILL BE RELEASING THIS AS A KIT IN MARCH !!
Cost is $55 AUD
email me to place a pre order


I will also be teaching this one as a class Mid March
Date to be confirmed
Contact me for details

This months challenge is...…..

To be inspired by "THE PAST" & to add something "RUSTY".
Too easy.


So after giving this all some thought, I decided to to a 
layout with an old fashioned sewing theme.

My dear old great grandmother taught me to sew on her old
Singer Treadle Sewing Machine just like the one in the photo.


 This layout was definitely a trip down memory lane.

I have added all sorts of vintage sewing bits & pieces.

You can see in the pic above some vintage scissors, a thimble,
 tape measures, some old labels off some sewing cottons
 & even an old needle threader.


For the RUSTY part of the challenge I decided to do a "rust paint effects"
finish on the dressmakers dummy & also on the flourish on the right of the page too.


I was super pleased how the "rust paint effects" turned out & it was so easy to
do just using acrylic paints, no special rust mediums etc.

I hope you can find time to play along with us this month, & as always
we have EIGHT great PRIZES on offer too.

Until next time....
