Think I'd better explain...

...why my badge for the forth coming GoGo Getaway looks like this!!
Have you ever had crafty thoughts that just off at a tangent ? well this was one of those times for me!

It all started with the thought that this will be Getaway number 8 or as it crossed my mind ATE!
Also the octagonal badge template was kinda pie shaped... are you with me so far!
The next thing I know I'm inking pie crust & crimping around my pie with embroidery cotton.

 It's finished with little chipboard birds inked & UTEE'd with sparkling gem eyes reminding me of the childhood nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence".

I rather like the finished article :) but when I showed one of my lads he said "Who ate all the pies ?!"
Many thanks for looking x

Scrapping...

Whilst away recently with friends I got a little scrapping done & thought I'd share.
I love this photo taken last April of our Daughter & knew the October Afternoon papers- Sidewalks were what this photo needed :) I'd already used some of these papers before so wasn't left with much to use but I quite like the white space on this Lo.

The Sky's The Limit.
The coloured picture actually started out plain cream, from the October Afternoon Sidewalk Miscellany pack. I used watered down Tim Holtz distress inks to "watercolour" the children & background to add interest & detail.

 To finish off I added some pearl gems & a couple of punched clouds
( thanks Jackie for the borrow :) )& my letter stickers.
Hope you like it.
