Flying Unicorn DT Project - Authentique

Hi there,

I am popping in today to share with you a DT project for Flying Unicorn using some papers from the Authentique Collection: Classique: Pretty. These papers are so pretty and can be found HERE in the Flying Unicorn Store, although not all the paper range is available now.

"Totally Fun"

I have used some Creative Embellishments chipboard in the background, which this particular one (hearts) is now unfortunately not available. 

 I have cut it up and placed randomly underneath and around my photo area.  I glue this down raw and then I started applying Gesso as a base coat and once that was dry I used some Silks Acrylic Glaze in African Jade and started blending it in with my background misting. This technique is totally fun.

Thanks for stopping by today

Happy Friday!! :)

Hello to you all :)

Hope you have all had a great week...it has certainly warmed up where I live and I believe the weekend is going to be a scorcher! Think it will be lots of pool and BBQ time this weekend as well as some scrapping in the air con!

Well a few weekends a go, I pulled out some papers I have been dying to scrap with (yeah I know...I need to get them up quick don't I!!).  They were released before I had my little bubba (which is just gone a year).  I was kind to myself during my baby's first year as I wanted to enjoy that time immensely and just went with the flow and only scrapped when I could or when I had deadlines looming...lol! so I have lots of catching up to do now :))))

Here is the layout I created with some MME papers Fly Away and Sky's the Limit.

"XOXO"

Love this adorable photo of my husband and baby at 2 months old...hard to believe how quickly the time has gone! 

Loved the shabby feel to this background paper so did lots of distressing and tearing, inking etc.

Sigh...can't go past adding beautiful flowers to my layouts.

More "just because layouts next week...(I promise!)

Have a wonderful weekend

You are my Reason Why...

Hello and Happy Monday :)

Can you believe its November already!!! WOW this year has just gone!! I am already thinking about Christmas stuff...just an exciting and lovely time of the year.

Okay a couple of weekends a go I did some scrapping for the fun of it...have been doing that a lot lately and its quite liberating!

I have lots of beautiful paper collections begging to be used and one of them was the MME Sky's the Limit Collection.

Oh my little bubba...I miss you being so small but I so love him at the age he is right now :)

"You are my Reason Why"

The title stamp is one of my favourite Ali Edwards Stamps..think it was my very first stamp purchase when I started online scrapping...lol!

Beautiful chipboard from Blue Fern...my first time using their brand of chipboard and I LOVE it!

And just a mix of a few other products, Prima and Petaloo flowers, Heidi Swapp Butterflies, Hambly and Lindy's Stamp Gang mist.

Till next time :)
