Show 'n tell

Howdy to you girls who are enjoying a quiet Easter home with your families, hopefully you might be getting a little chance to scrap just a 'little'!

How about i set a mini challenge for the next week - share with us some of your latest pages or projects. We all love to see something new and different....and you girls are all inspiring with your scrapping!!
I have been working on my journal, that i started at the retreat, and have finally completed it, so i am going to show you a few pages from it.June page-I have used rub-ons for the title, love those new Kaisercraft Alphas!I added in between the page a cut up plastic card protector page (ones that hold footy cards etc) and i added rub-ons onto it, plus rubons on the page....and inked the edges
September page - i have used some stamps, added some rub-ons, a Jenni Bowlin ticket and inked the edges. I have also added a journal card stitched to some clear transparency in between the pages.

November page- month title have have put some black paper thru the dynmo and sanded the top (good technique Amanda!), mounted it and added a rub-on. There is strips of paper added near the bottom which have been inked before glued and then various rubons added, and another piece of plastic card protector with various rubons added.

So now all i have to do is jot down the things that happen each month. It was a great way to use up mulitple rubons, get those inks out, make a mess and have fun!

Hope to see some of your creations soon.....you can also email me and i can post them for you :)

Congrats Branny Sue - such exciting news about Mace. What an adorable little man and FANTASTIC photo - you and Rob look so proud :)

Great challenge and you know how much i absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE your journal - girls the photos here do not do it justice ...it must be seen irl to really appreciate all Sue's hard work and talent. It certainly is incredible to flick through.

If you get a chance to see this irl take a look ... it is a work of art. And a functional, history record!! Amazing work Sue.
