Just Because....

Hello all :))

Well with DH away this week on a deep sea fishing trip, I have scrapped up a storm! And what better way to start by doing a 'just because' page.  Is it me or is there anyone else, that tends to sit on papers for ages before using them...?? Not sure why...hmmmm...Anyway these gorgeous My Minds Eye papers have been sitting around for a while now begging me to use them...so I just decided to get stuck in and get creative, play around and experiment with the hexagon trend!

Got out the paints again as well as washi tape...loving them both all over again! And it you haven't worked it out by now my love affair with Shimmerz products.  There isn't a layout or project I don't do that hasn't got some Shimmerz on it. Their products are so versatile....love love love :))

Outlining my hexagons with Shimmerz...and snuck in some gorgeous Hambly (hexagon overlay)...gosh I am going to miss them!


Found my little star punch again and love the scattered stars....


And dug through my Purple Pumpkin button stash and found this super cute owl button...



Off to do some more scrapping :))
Can't wait to have some yummy fresh reef fish over the weekend!!

Thanks for visiting!

  10. Can I say how much I LOVE this! The textures you added all over the background and on the hexagons is amazing!! I need to use my Shimmerz products more often I think! I have them...but rarely use them...what's wrong with me!? :-) Beautiful work! Love it all...
