Have just spent a pleasant couple of hours at Camelot with my class.

Thought I would share this layout that I finished last night. Best to strike while the iron is hot.

I have used a stencil with Iridescent Texture Paste and acrylic paint, Turquoise Blue Glimmer Mist, a Kaisercraft stamp and black ink on the background Kaisercraft Basecoat patterned paper. I have fussy cut the photo, distressed the edge of the paper adding some tearing and a bit of lace behind the tears. The title was stamped and heat embossed with black embossing powder. The resin heart was coloured with Glimmer Glaze. I have been wanting to use some feathers on a layout for a while so took the opportunity to add a paper feather (Sprayed with Glimmer Mist) a metal feather and a real feather. The other pieces of patterned paper used are Lavender Haze by Kaisercraft.  I then used my Pearl Pen to add the pink pearls


Thanks for dropping by
Till next time

I forgot to share these cards I made a couple of weeks ago






See you next time

We were supposed to be in Port Victoria for the week this week but on Sunday night I felt a sore throat starting and when I woke up Monday morning I was not in a good place so we decided to postpone the holiday until I am feeling better.

I have not done much in the way of crafting for a while now. When I walk into my craft room and sit down to start something my mind goes blank and it all seems like too much trouble so I get up and walk out again.

Over the last couple of days I have managed to get started on a scrapbooking page that is completely different to anything I have done in scrapbooking before I have used texture paste and sprays on the background then cut out pieces of paper to make all of the items on the page and then cut Charli out of a photo to place on the page. I then attached all these items to the background with modpodge and shaded them all with my Faber Castell Pit Pens and a bit of kindy glitz to finish. I then typed my journalling (there is quite a bit of journalling, another first) cut it into strips, sprayed it and attached to the layout with Mod Podge.

This is what I finished up with




Lets hope the inclination to craft continues to stay with me.

Till next time
