Colleen's YCYW Challenge

Well.. I finally did some scrapping today!!
I tackled Colleen's challenge over at Sisterhood of Scrap! We had to use gauze somehow, some way... and this is what I did!

First, I had to go raid the first aid kit, take some gauze squares, separate them, sprintzed them with red, orange, brown mists, folded them and gathered them at the middle and plunked them on my card I made!!! LOL

I know.. so imaginative, but oh well.. I tried!!!

Thanks for the great challenge Colleen!!!

And thanks for taking a peek!

A new layout... finally!!!!

Good Morning!

I can't believe where the time has gone!
I finally found some mojo and wanted to share with you all what I created yesterday!

Bella Creations - Voila, Ink! challenge this month was to stamp on something other than paper! How fun!
I made some clay tiles from Fimo, distressed them, and stamped them! Also, I stamped a clock face onto cork!

This layout was created using mostly Etc. from Bo Bunny, and a few flowers from Graphic 45!!!

I also used this layout from Sketch Sunday from September 4th at the Sisterhood of Scrap!

Here is the sketch...

Thanks for taking a peek.. and I hope my mojo continues!!
