"Plait" for Scrap for Help

A friend sent me an email challenge to complete this challenge for Scrap for Help. I had four days till it finished so I got stuck straight in and completed it last night. Thier January Challenge is to use string, create something, and have fun!!! I feel I have met all three requirements :-)

I used MME "The sweetest thing" Lavender "about me" Blooms paper as the backround peice. Also Prima Madeline Collection "Parterre" for the pattern peice behind the photo and "skyward" for the fussy cut butterflys. To meet the string requirement I used MME Indie Chic - Ginger "Relax" twine, not sure on the greeny/blue twine as it came in a auction pack I won. For the title I used Paper Pizazz - tag art letters (from 2002 collection lol). The row of flowers below the photo is from Inque Boutique - "Always in Bloom" Inqueboard. I covered it with a brown paper bag and inked the edges with Versa Colour "cocoa". The flower I made using the brown paper bag torn into circles and inked with the same ink. I used a yellowish tissue paper under the photo and glued it down to resemble washi tape. Also popped on some recycled corrigated cardboard.

I hope you enjoy xoxo

Swaps for Amanda

There are my swap items for Amandas Scrap Swaps. The theme for January is flowers.

Bday pinwheel card

Hello fello scrappers,
I went to a scrappy night at a friends place last night and stamped up some shirts for presents and also managed to fit in a 1st birthday card. My friend is a Stampin up rep so I used all Stampin up products - paper, dies, brads, stamps and ink pens. Hope you enjoy as I'm quite happy with it. xoxo

My Angel (for ARTastic)

Hey hey I'm back!!!!! Had a big break over Christmas with going away and visitors but I'm back into it with a LO for ARTastic January Challenge. You had to use chalk and/or wings and I decided to do both :-)

The wings are off an old earring and the chalk is the starburst around the photo. I also chalked the edges of the whitw cardstock.

I used lots of different companies on this LO. The main paper a Prima 2011 line "Madeline Collection" - Parterre. I used MME "The Sweetest Thing" tiny word stickers and Kaiser Craft "Lilac Avenue" alphas for my title. The blue floser and butterfly pocket are from scrap swaps and the wand is an Eye Candy Magic "Shabby wand". The little purple flower is off a hair clip of my daughters. I love using found items :)

Ihope you enjoy xoxo
