WINNER & MHC Inspiration

Hello Monday...where did you come from???

Seriously the weekend went in a flash but I guess that is what happens when every moment was nearly spent having good friends over for yummy BBQ's or being invited out by more friends and catching up with lots of beautiful cousins who we haven't seen in a long time! Loved every moment and so did the boys! I lost count at how many storms we had over the weekend tho.  We had 4 yesterday and I know there was about 2 on Saturday...and its sticky again today so we could be in for some more!

Okay now onto some Manorhouse Creations layouts....I have been a little slack at getting them up here....oops!

Showcasing some new summer flowers with some flowers from the spring collection. Love the vibrant yellow one. The background effect was done using a few different coloured inks in the Pink Paislee mistable paper.

I am not sure if you follow the Manorhouse Creations Blog but they have recently been associated with and supporting World Vision Australia, raising money for the victims of the African drought. While children are starving and dying at a rapid rate, we are doing our best to help with monthly donations to the appeal and thanks to public support, MHC have made their very first donation.  I am so very proud to be part of the Design Team.  What an amazing generous thing to do.

So last month we were sent some beautiful flowers especially made for this cause and the names of these flowers are names of little African girls....sooo sweet.

Loving you at Three...  Apart from the white flower and the misted green flower, all other flowers and leaves are from the World Vision collection...just gorgeous!

A couple of months ago I got hooked on Shimmerz...big time...in fact you will probably being seeing a lot more of how I have used their products coming up very soon ;)  You will notice around the edges of this layout the darker smudged areas.  I first of all inked the edges with some TH Distress Ink.  Then got my handy little paint brush and started painting on Pearlz.  By adding this to the ink, it really gave the edges more of a grunge look... Here is a closer up look at it.  It looks so great IRL!!
