A New Layout

Hi all,

I was suffering a bit of crafter's block this week... not because I didn't have any ideas, but because I had so many! 

So, what I did was write every idea down and number them. I got to 18, and used a random number generator to choose which project I would start next. 

One of my ideas was to make another layout with the Quirky Kit from Jan/Feb this year. I still had a pack of Heidi Swapp sitckers unopened, along with some other bits so I put together this layout. 

I took the picture in the zoo in Fuengirola, I told Nathan to stand under this huge building that was in the Asian area. One of the many things I loved about Bioparc was how each area had authentic looking landscaping and architecture. 

This layout uses project life cards. I love how they can be used as backgrounds as well as pockets in a pocket book.

Thanks for stopping by!

Geometric Neon Layout

Hi all

Stopping by to share a project I made for the Docrafts Trade Catalogue, using the new Geometric Neon collection, out now!

It's by far my favourite collection yet, pastels with a pop of neon and sophisticated foil detail.

Aaand here it is on the Docrafts Social Media accounts...  They added the journalling for me, as I'm rubbish at it and they like to include it otherwise people complain, apparently. Love seeing my work on their social media accounts for thousands of people to see!

And in the catalogue that comes with Creativity! magazine.

Edit: It's even in the front pages of Creativity magazine! Lovely surprise (though it would be nice to have my name on there somewhere...!)

Sorry to be all excitable in this post but I really enjoyed making the layout and I'm so glad docrafts liked it enough to use it in lots of their promo stuff. :)

Now, I've a shadow box to finish, a shopping bag to paint, a commission to do and a layout to finish. Plus I need to do a layout for the new 'More Than Words' challenge.

And then I've lots of other layout ideas, and other things for the Docrafts PDT. I hope the rest of 2016 is as productive!

Thanks for stopping by!

Made some cards!

Been busy this week, sent my first docrafts magazine commission off yesterday (eeeee!), but I spent this morning making some family cards.

This first one is for my grandparents' wedding anniversary.

This second one is for my dad's cousin who has just had a baby boy.

Need to find the number for emergency takeout.... Haha!
