REMEMBER THIS MOMENT


This is a fun sketch challenge over at Girlie Grunge http://donnasalazardesigns.ning.com/ for June.
They have all sorts of  techniques that I love to try.
Natashas super eyelet lacing and making lovely flowers from the Donna Salazer spellbinders roses.
Also distressing and using paint medium.
Fun, Fun, Fun..........



I have used D S Antiquities paper, the DS spellbinders "roses" diecut and the DS spellbinders "shadow flowers" die. Also the DS "fairydust glitter" on the flowers.
This is my niece with her parents at her fun wedding in May.

FRIENDS...SISTERS

This fortnights challenge is Distressing in any form over at Southern Girls.



Here I used the gorgeous Donna Salazar pps, a spellbinders die, a Whimsy dress form die and a TH die for added interest. Did a bit of fussy cutting for added dimension on the LO and Distressed all the pp edges and used distress stickles on the dress forms and flowers. I also used cardboard and did a bit of masking with distress inks.
The pic is myself and sisters at my mums 80th party.

Challenge #36 at Southern Girls


WHITE ON WHITE

 

White on White.......mmmmm ...... not so easy. Took me a while to to settle down to find a starting point for this one! After half an hour or so, with punches, laces, flowers, embossing plates and anything else that was white I managed to make a start.
This is a photo of daughters and I being silly with Carl taking some photos...In all the others he cut off the top of our heads!! This is blurred but changing it too black and white it looked like it had the fade out look going on......))))
The ticket  and sentiment is Whimsy and says "Well-behaved women rarely make history" by 
Eleanor Roosevelt.
Quite apt for us silly girls!
Love and appreciate your comments. TFL
