Viva Las Vegas May Challenge


Hey guys :)

So I have a project to share for the Viva Las Vegas May Inspiration challenge. I have created at ATC card using the amazing VLV Jagged Chain Link Fence stamp and Whimsical Elephant stamp which literally just arrived in my mail box (with a few others hehe) a couple of days after I spotted this challenge. I think it was fate! 

I have painted my background with acrylic paint, used watercolor for my elephants tears with Ranger embossing powder around the edges.


Unless you know me personally, you may not know that I am someone who is very passionate about animal welfare issues. No I am not some uber vegan 'shall never kill a spider' buddhist but I do believe we should do everything in our power to protect animals and treat them with respect. One of the issues I feel very strongly about is the use of wild animals in Circuses.


I was kind of in the mood to keep going after this one with all my new stamps to test out and wanted to do something a little more cheerier! This is a card created with the gorgeous Whimsical Bomb Girl Stamp designed stamp .....





And this is the inspiration board for May.

While I am here, I did this card I did a little while back which was featured on the VLV blog but I have yet to share here on my blog...

Prima Marketing BAP & 13Arts Challenge


Hey guys :)

Hope everyone has had an awesome weekend. Feeling slightly better here with the help of some decent pain killers :)

Got my scrap on over the weekend, this layout has been created for the May Prima Marketing BAP & 13Arts Vintage Memories Challenge. This is a photo of my Dad & I.



I have used the gorgeous Prima Marketing Time Traveller collection and added some pops of color with 13Arts mists & acrylic paint.



Have a great week everyone!

7Dots Studio & Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo May Challenge


Hey guys :)

Hope everyone is doing well. I have been off the grid the last fortnight with a bad back and hips (which really sucks). The few hours I have had where I felt okay, I really really wanted to create something. So this is my layout for the current 7Dots Studio challenge - which is 'April Showers Bring May Flowers' and the current Scrapki-Wyzwaniowo challenge which is to use a key somewhere on your layout.


We live in a small coastal community directly across from a beach. So May for us isn't so much about flowers as it is rain. We rely on tank water so we never really complain about it. I wanted to capture the water feel for my layout and created drips down my page with some glass effect gel.


And here is my key - a Tim Holtz clock key (love these!)



Thanks for stopping by!
