A bit of gold bling.....

Why not throw some bling into the mix for the end of the week!

I love the My Mind's Eye papers and all the glitter.... I had fun with some gold glitter this time around.

Featuring some yummy Words or Whatever chippie... this one is the cute Leafy Tree and the Gorgeous title. Both have been inked in a dark chocolate brown ink and highlighted with gold Kindy Glitz. I kinda went a little crazy with the glitter!

The beautiful photo is my sister and our nephew.... how gorgeous are they both! We were all glammed up for a wedding and thought it a perfect for a photo op!

And a few close ups for good measure....

Happy Scrapping!

Happy Hump Day!

For the creative ones amongst us, here's a bit of inspiration for Hump Day!

Whilst still catching up on holiday pics, I now also have some lovely pics from my brother's 30th birthday! This one is of my brother, sister and I featuring the new Etcetera range from Bo Bunny paper range.... very yummy indeed! It wasn't great light last night, so I need to re-take the pic in daylight but you get the idea :)

Just a few close ups for you too.....
A few close ups of the WOW chippie as well.... I've used the Time Flies title and the keyhole and inked both up in a dark brown and spritzed with some Glimmermist.
I'm off to a wedding this weekend to celebrate the union of 2 of our close friends and can't wait to chill out! Needless to say, I will have lots of lovely pics to scrap next week now!

Looking for more inspiration? Head over to the WOW blog to see what the rest of the DT are up to and happy scrapping!

I finally found some time over the weekend to get creative! I've been laid up with a chest infection for a few days and managed to drag myself out of bed on Sunday and was slightly productive! Needless to say I now have a lot of glitter floating around the place after playing with my favourite My Mind's Eye papers all day. Now for your viewing pleasure...

Some cute October Afternoon paper worked well for this male layout. Featuring the WOW London title, I have inked in different colours and then bladed out accents to highlight the bus and Big Ben. All have been finished with Glossy Accents. The WOW chippie flourish was inked as well and finished in Glossy Accents. I've started on a role with our holiday photos! Next up is the gorgeous My Mind's Eye paper featuring the WOW chipboard title, double decker bus and a ticket stub. Another pic of my gorgeous hubby in London.
I've inked everything and bladed out highlights on the bus and ticket stubb and finished with a spray of Pearl Glimmermist to keep with the glittery feel!
And one last one for you tonight.... More of the My Mind's Eye range featuring the WOW chipboard Big Ben clock and title. The title has been inked in a dark brown ink and the clock in a lighter brown/sand colour and accented around the edges with darker brown. Again I have bladed out the highlights of the clock and cut out the face and backing plate and mounted on 3D foam.
Another fav London pic... this one is of myself and Emma in one of the many London pubs we frequented!
I'm off for now. Happy scrapping and don't forget to head over to the WOW Blog and Facebook pages to check out some of the work from the rest of the DT!
