Step x step publication and winner!

Tuesday, June 28, 2011

It seems so long ago that I put these projects together and I guess it has been quite a while but when working with magazine publications you always work so far in advance that the time between creation and being able to share takes forever! Well finally I can share...


I created a step x step tutorial on a unique way to use stencils that tend to sit in the cupboard feeling all lonely and unloved. I created a layout and card using two different techniques and really enjoyed having a play and trying something different.


This photo of my daughter and her pooch 'Lizzy' was taken in the Canola field when it was in full bloom and was a sea of yellow. My poor daughter is putting on a brave smile as Lizzy is incredibly heavy for such a little dog... she is Corgi x German Shepherd and ways a tonne even though she only stands a foot high.







All the flowers, leaves and butterflies on the layout were created using the Pebbles Stencils and Pebbles chalks... I'm really starting to love my chalks and find I'm using them more and more on projects as I can rub them off if I make a mistake whereas inks are a different matter and boy have I made a few permanent errors with inks!



My Little Shoebox
Give-Away Winner!

I must apologise that this is a bit delayed but with everything that has happened the past week it kind of slipped through the cracks. I didn't even get time to do a random generator selection so had my daughter draw names out of her school lunch box...
