I TRY...

BITW has another ripper of a word prompt for you and this challenge is all about 'TIME' that very precious commodity that eludes most of us. I know it seems I am doing a few pages on me lately,  hope I am not boring you guys with these ones but after this word reveal I promise to stop the self obsession for a little while  tee hee.


I had a small epiphany recently after thinking about what I was going to do for my DT page I realised I spend way too much money and time accumilating papers and scrap related products that most of my allocated scrapping time is spent in complete disarray and of course time is of the essence when you have a busy little adventurous boy on your hands. 


So rather than wasting these valuable minutes sorting, arranging and cleaning my space I have set a challenge 'to use up as much of my stash as possible!' My Scraproom is absolutely chockers I need nothing else except more minutes in the day, so even though this is a small idea it may prove to create 'perfect harmony'  in my life between scrapping more constructively and freeing up more time with Tig-let.

Thats the story behind this DT page, do you think I can do it? To be honest I am not sure I can stick to my guns on this one, I am such a scrapstash hoarder I am one of the worst, tee hee.

I ADORE THEM

If your looking for a great word prompt to get your started on a new project this fortnights word at Bird is the Word is 'Adore' which has got to get the mojo in full swing. Starting from the 6th and ending on the 20th November, you have plenty of time to create a fun project and sub it using the inlinkz gadget at BITW to be in the running for a fabbo kit from Tidbitz In Time. 


Here's my take I decided to go a little different to what I have been lately and do something simple and relaxed. I finally used the Tim Holtz set of 'Ransom' alpha masks that I have been hoarding for a good year maybe longer and paired that with his Barn Door Distress Ink along with my all time fave Hambly Prints 3/4" Graph Overlay and yeeesh of course Basic Grey as the base. I can't go past their grungy textural B sides they simply rock for me!

Anyways hope you like it and hope you can join us over at BITW I love seeing all the gorgeous pages in the gallery it blows me away how many people play over there. Thank you for stopping by and hope you have a fabulous week:)

SUCH A CUTIE!

Hi everyone,
Its that time of the week again...the Friday palette and sketch reveal at The Color Room, and I am so excited by this weeks colours they are right up my alley. The Sketch is actually my very own but re-drawn in Lydell's style so I'm twice as excited to see my sketch on a Color Room palette, woot woot!


Anyhoo, here is the Digi page for palette #69 reveal. All elements are my own except for the curled string which I credit the fabulous Lydell Quin for! :)

Here is the ridgy-didge/hybrid version which I am absolutely chuffed by how it worked out. 

I spent most of the week procrastinating on how I was going to replicate the diamond repeat pattern on the background paper of the digi version and decided that since I didnt have a diamond pre-cut stencil at hand I would make my own using some plastic sheeting and a steady hand...gosh I was transported back to my Art School days as a screenprinter anyhoo here's the stencil that I used along with Tim Holtz Barn Door Distress Ink...both are my new favorite scrap booking tools of the moment! tee hee

...and here is the palette for this week if your in need of some seriously awesome inspo then pop into TCR and say hello!

Okay well got a pot of Chicken soup on the stove in preparation for a scrap & chat night I'm hosting tomorrow night so had better taste test that and ice the cupcakes I baked as a little treat for the girls...can't wait bring on tomorrow woot woot!


Hope you have a fabulous weekend and thank you for stopping by! xox
