Window update

Here it is, I'm enjoying this so much!

Project runway CJ ... denim

And here is my version of the denim posies. I dont know how I ended up with two pages that are so different, and I'm kinda disappointed that I wasnt able to distress the background bazzill enough to make it "properly" denim-like.


Happy scrappers CJ ... doors


This has to be the MOST complicated CJ I have ever done. The tag is hinged to reveal a door that opens to reveal another tag which can be removed to reveal a map.

Denim posies

I am just about to make a layout using denim and I happened to find this tutorial to make denim blossoms. Look how cute they are!

60 scrappy freebies

This blog is a fantastic resource. The links are over a year old, so they might not all work, but the ones I clicked on were GORGEOUS ... anyone for a cowboy?

These are just gorgeous. I printed them out on cream paper.

Pretty paper party ... how I sort my paper


Three years ago, when I was preparing to move house, I invested in 16 really useful boxes to sort my paper stash. I'm sad to say that some of these boxes contain the same stuff from 3 years ago (and I'd probably had the stash for a couple of years before that). So I would say I am most definitely a collection packer (or kit collector) ... why try to match papers and patterns if I can get someone else to do that for me!

Project runway CJ ... mix and match

Ouch, this layout was PAINFUL ... I started and abandoned several versions, and ended up with this cheat ... my themes were tartan (Tim Holtz distress stains, I love them) and gothic (two fantastic drawings of Hermione and Luna from fashion and action) ... this blog is beautiful and well worth a visit
