Some creativity for the weekend and a WOW sneak peek....

Arrghhhhh! Can't believe another weekend is almost over. I headed off to the big Scraploot farewell party last night and had so much fun! Had lots of wine and many more laughs. The visit from the fireman has us all in hysterics. I have not laughed so much in a long time! I did manage to get one page done at least! Seems I spent more time talking than I realised.

I got this page of my brother at his 30th finished....

This is a fav pic of mine :) I have used some gorgeous WOW chipboard, with the title and scroll flourishes all inked and finished in Crackle Accents. The paper and accessories are from the Bo Bunny Etcetera range. And a few close ups for you.....

In the last half hour, I thought I'd get super productive and start this one.... hmmm I stuck the base piece to the cardstock and that was it! I did find a bit of time this afternoon amongst ironing and cooking and replacing smoke alarm batteries (damn strata fire inspections this week!), to get it finished.....
I love the My Mind's Eye Lost and Found collection the first time and seriously love #2! This is my gorgeous husband at the Guiness Factory in Dublin on our holiday earlier this year. I have used the WOW chipboard title and double embossed with 2 tones of Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder and the Admit One Ticket is coloured with markers and sprayed with Glimmermist. And just so you can see the details.......

And I guess I will be nice and give you a sneak peek of my WOW blog post work for this week...

I did say it was a sneak peek.... keep an eye out on Thursday on the WOW blog for the full reveal and details on what I've done to create the work. Until then, there will be another post from the DT tomorrow so that you can get your first WOW fix of the week!

Until later in the week, happy scrapping and enjoy your week :)

Sneak peek revealed.....

Head over to the WOW Blog to check out my post from today on using rub ons with your chipboard. Feel free to leave some love and check out the work from the rest of the DT.

This is the finished layout featuring the Disneyland title and a flourish:

By adding the rub ons, it gives a lovely patterned effect and breaks up a continuous colour:

And a few close ups of the rest of the page....
And whilst we are in the creative mood.... a few more layouts I've finished recently. I got on a roll with the holiday snaps. This one features the Hollywood chipboard title. I;ve embossed this with black and gold embossing powder.

A tad messy, but I love the end result with the embossing!
I love this new Authentique paper.... The So Special title and large flourish worked well. Ben looks so tiny with the Arc de triomphe towering over him! It truly was a special day and we are so glad we got to experience part of Paris.

A few close ups of the details.....
Ah New York! Loved this city and can't wait to go back one day..... the baseball watch was a huge highlight for us both seeing as we are both baseball nuts!

I sprayed the chippie title with a coat of Glimmermist for a nice sheen.
More fun in Paris..... we walked part of the Champs Elysse. I've finished off the chipboard titles with a coat of ink and the larger one with some Tim Holtz distressing paint.

The circles are so much fun and I love this Eiffel Tower chipboard piece.
That's it for me for this Thursday..... hopefully I will have some more inspiration to share with you over the weekend. Until then, happy scrapping!

Crazy times.....

Things are still a tad crazy in my life at the moment with work and personal commitments and less than 4 weeks until our holiday, so we are madly trying to get everything on our extremely long list sorted, with very little time to do any of it!! I have however, been able to sneak a few hours in for scrapping today finally!

With "Sweet Pea" I have used a Words or Whatever doily, inked it and then embossed with Tim Holtz Distressing powder. With the flourish, I have inked and given a light spritz of Glimmermist for a light shine. The paper is the pretty new range from Graphic 45.

And a few close ups......

With "True Love", I have used a WOW title, covered in Glossy Accents and then sprinkled with super fine glitter to finish. The WOW cogs have been inked in red and sponged in brown/black. The large one has been coated in Crackle Accents. The 2 small ones have a coat of Glossy Accents, sprinkled with German Glass Glitter. The paper is from the beautiful range of glitzy papers from My Minds Eye that I fell in love with!

And the close ups.....

I love the effect that Crackle Accents gives you!

And some super fine glitter for a bit of bling.

Have a great week and don't forget to head over the to WOW blog and facebook page to see what the rest of the DT have been up to.
