SMILE

Good morning Girls. For this fortnights challenge we are doing ANYTHING GOES. This always seems to be very popular with all you talented Gals out there in scrappy and card making land........

This LO is  a Dusty Attic Sketch from a couple of months ago. I loved the sketch and just had to give it a go.

I have masked, inked, stamped, painted, used my cuttlebug and used flower soft to make my topiary plants and misted them with GM. I had never used ovals in this way before and love the look of the main picture in the oval frame.  This is DH and I at his sons wedding in Port Elizabeth in SA about 3 yrs ago.

SLOBS ON TOUR

This was a fun project with my scrappy mate Kay. We had to make this photo wallet to hold 6 photos. So cool to make and will definitely be making more of these. So great when you have an occasion and want to showcase a few. You could easily make it hold a few more..... Very easy to do!
I used the beautiful ETC pps.....YUMMY...

This was a wonderful trip to the Marlborough Sounds last year. I have another couple of these to do.
Just kept it closed with a little velcro. Hope you can see how it works.

So here we are with my effort:
This is my surprise stripper for my surprise 50th B'day party a few years ago. You missed seeing him dressed....He was a fireman!   OMG.....A Very embarrassing situation but like a true trooper I played the game!! Hee Hee....

I made the background with a crafters workshop stencil,  a prima stamp and spritzed with GM cinder. Used Webster pps, more stamping,  prima flowers and bling and a sizzix flourish. The frame is a Teresa Collins from the Home collection.
