No smokes

Well today is the first day of quitting smoking for me. Not sure how much craft ill get done now as I smoked far too much while scrapping and just sitting at my desk makes me crave one. Here are a couple of things I made yesterday 

Off The Rails Challenge

This is a layout I did for a challenge over at Off The Rails Scrapbooking. It's not my usual style of scrapping but I enjoyed creating this. Head on over and join in the competition http://offtherailsscrapbooking.blogspot.com.au

My new niece

My sister in law gave birth yesterday morning to a healthy little girl, Layla Jasmine. So of course I had to make her something for her room. The first thing I made was a reverse canvas and recorded all the details of her birth. The second thing is a free standing butterfly by Kaisercraft. I'm so happy with how they both turned out. Only 2 more sleeps before I get to finally meet her

Challenge entry

Off The Rails Scrapbookimg is running a challenge and I've decided to enter my reverse canvas. If you would like to enter here is the link http://offtherailsscrapbooking.blogspot.com.au/2013/12/free-for-all.html

Canvases

Lately I've been working on some reverse canvases. I just love making these, they are so much fun to make. Firstly I prime the canvas with gesso then I had texture paste. While the paste is still wet I add glimmer mists in a couple of different colours. I then use a heat gun to dry it off then sprinkle perfect pearls over the canvas. I spray it all lightly with water and then wait for it to dry before I embellish it.
