SHOULD BE PACKING, INSTEAD I'M SCRAPPING !

Yes that is me the great procrastinator, do anything but what I am suppose to be doing ! But it's all good , got stuck into the packing this afternoon and have it under control ...... I think :)


But last night instead of packing I was doing this layout for over at Once Upon A Sketch http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/ , the theme seasons. This is a layout of me and my brother, he is about to throw a big snowball at me !




The fence that I added crackle paint to is from http://twiddleybitz.ning.com/ , The little silver snow flakes are from Craftqueen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/

Also the new challenge is up over at Orange Paperie http://orangepaperieandco.blogspot.com.au/ . Kim has set a gorgeous colour challenge and there is a new guest designer for the month, so pop on over check out her the talented GD is and join in on the gorgeous colour challenge.
My layout is of a photo I took on the beautiful island of Patmos



I have added crackle paint to the key and lock


and also to the  flourish 

Stamped a Dark Room Door stamp onto transparency 


and added some teal satin seam binding from craftqueen



I used the salt and ink technique for the background effect.
So this is definitely the last from me until I get back, no more scrapping only packing
Wishing you all happy days
