Thursday Toots with Sharon

I'm really glad to see you guys taking part in Ed's latest challenge even though everyone is probably busy with end of year preparations!

Here are 3 cheerful layouts to share:

"Xmas Shopping @ Wuhan" by 110 - did you notice the cool 'hole' on the left side of the page with the snowflake lace cardstock over it?  Love that effect! And love the mint candy border and those cute reindeer!

"Happy Family" by carylleow - Did you notice her cool colourful artsy background? And the cute little pic in the flower?  Its such a sweet touch!

"The Perfect Family Smile" by bbhome - Did you notice how there's a little heart tag tucked under the flower next to the photo?  And how the flowers peep out from behind the borders?  Such a happy page!

Wednesday With Wati

Heya peeps!

Sharing with you a latest layout I did with the Basic Grey June Bug collection. I just can't resist cutting those flowers from the pps :) Layering the flowers the way I like it.
Do go and grab your June Bug collection at Laines.

Technique Tuesdays with Sharon

Today is Tuesday.....so here's a fun technique to try:

Get This:

Sticky-glitter1

1.  Art Glitter Sticky paper

2.  Glitter of various colours

3.  shapes for masking - you can use anything that doesn't stick permanently (e.g. Maya Road sheers, Fancy Pants clear shapes, epoxy stickers, even lace!)

Do This:

1.  Remove the backing from the sticky paper.

2.  Arrange various shapes onto the sticky side of the paper.  (No need to press down hard, you'll need to remove them later)

Sticky-glitter2 

3.  Sprinkle glitter to cover the background first. (I used white glitter for mine)

4.  Remove each shape and then sprinkle the colour of the glitter you want to have for that shape.

Sticky-glitter3

5.  Repeat till all shapes are done.  ta dah! I added stickers to mine to make a card. 

Sticky-glitter5 

 NOTE:  Be sure to clean up after you use each colour of glitter so the colours won't get mixed up.

Try This:

1.  You can also punch / cut out pieces of the sticky paper to use on other projects and just pour glitter onto the sticky part.  The glitter sticks well to the sticky paper.

And here's a little catch up Toot 'cos I missed last Thursday!  Three cool creations from Ed's 6X12" challenge!  Well done ladies!

"U R Special" by April - I like the scalloped edge at the top, the house,  the dots coming out of the chimney, the dandelion with 2009 inside, the black gems on the red 'tree'.  Very charming...

"Soft Repose" by myrabealy - I like the simplicity, elegance, the way the butterflies overlap the photo, the bits of text behind...

Soft Repose by myrabealy 

"{Seek}" by Tinkerbell - I like the litte birds at the top, the branch overlapping the photo, the quote and the bicycle - great choices!

Merdrey's Monday Moods

Today's Mood: Mix and Matchy

Hello! How do you like to scrap? Do you love to use everything from a single brand and collection or do you mix and match? I think i like to mix and match. Yesterday i created this layout as a gift, and i ransacked my scrap area for items that go with the theme, am happy with the bits and pieces that i found!

Go on...look around your scrap area the next time you want to do a layout and you might find treasure among the piles of different brands! =)

Have a great week ahead!

hugs, Merdrey
