Return of the mojo???

Has the mojo come back??? I've literally not been in the craft room since I last posted in November until yesterday. My LO is for a UK Scrappers challenge and is based on a sketch by Karen AKA Scrapdolly (see UKS homepage for details).

A few thank you messages: to MJ for the spotty brad, and to Claire for the button and word stickers used in the journaling which were in my Christmas parcel :).

I have also sadly left the Gingersnaps DT recently - too much life getting in the way of crafting. Sad to leave but enjoyed my time with them lots.

Lots of stuff to share - shall attempt to post semi frequently in 2011!

Thanks for popping by.

UKS Challenge

My scrapbook page for last week's UKS challenge.

The challenge was:

-Scrap something you love (my beloved pooch)

-Use something old, new, borrowed or blue (my papers were my latest purchase - BG Max & Whiskers - and I used blue cs)

-Write journaling (yep)

-Use stamps, inks or paint (lots of stamping here - the journaling block is a Hero Art stamp, the box with the date a 7 Gypsies stamp, the small letters are alpha stamps and the big Thickers are stamped with a Prima stamp that looks like a newspaper sheet, the round circle is a stamp too.)

I like this one; that's a well cute pic of my dog. The journaling is about how he chunters on all the time!!! He makes an amazing range of odd noises.... bless him!

UKS challenge

This is my take on the weekly challenge this week on UKS. The main part of the challenge was to make your own background paper, so I created the lovely swirly paper by sponging ink lightly over some Tattered Angels screens onto a piece of BG PP. I also 'made' the paper from which the bloom are created - I sprayed a piece of book text (strengthened with card) with Glimmer Mists in Vintage Pink, Passion Red and Gold and then used ISC Friends are Special stamps to make the blooms. I also stamped onto the BG letter stickers with script to tie them in better with the vintage look of the page.

Sorry the pics a bit wonky!

Also check out this blog candy - if you love anything inky, you'll love this from Charmed Cards and Crafts! Delicious candy here and here too.

A labour of love!

Another UKS challenge today - this time to use hearts, red and song title with the word 'love' in it. I predictably scrapped the dog (he's better looking than the OH) and chose one of my fav songs for the title - I Love My Dog by Cat Stevens.

The top part of the LO is created with Glimmer Mist and Glimmer Screens (oh how I love Glimmer Mist!). After spraying I traced around the shapes for definition using a fine liner pen. Some of the hearts are stamped and some are doodled. You can't quite tell in the picture but they are all layered at different heights using 3D foam. That took a while and patience I don't really have!!!

I my mission to use up stash (New Year resolution) the stickers I used are totally ancient - like four or five years old I think. In my mission to stop stroking my papers and cut them up the papers here are my precious Basic Grey.

I quite like but my goodness is it pink!!!

As the theme is love I am entering it for the Romance challenge at Gingersnap Creations too.

Thanks for looking peeps :)

UKS Challenge

My layout for the UKS weekly challenge where the theme is pink, bling and old stash. I can't even remember buying these papers so they must be old!

It might not look like much but it took ages!!! There is lots of doodling with a fineliner, the stars are cut from paper and matted onto black then doodled over too. It's a bit bright for me but I kinda like it.

Thanks for stopping by :)
