Sunshine - my only sunshine....

I created this LO a few weeks ago, it has sat in my kitchen waiting to be photographed for a day that the sun shone so I could pick up the details of the LO.  The photos were taken from our rental car on the evening that we arrived in Boston last summer.  The sun was low in the sky and it was like a huge fireball and I was delighted with the photo - don't think they will win any competitions, but I just like them.

So - I was browsing Two Peas in a Bucket and saw a lovely LO using Crate Paper Restoration line (which I had bought and just loved!!).  The LO was stunning and I forgot to  book mark it for myself but this LO came out of the inspiration, so it's kind-of a scrap lift.


This LO is not my normal style - it's far more grungy and distressed.  Sometimes it's nice to work outside  your comfort zone, and making something different.  These papers are just fab and I think the colours are more autumnal and muted than I would normally use.

I have not bought any glimmer mists paints, but I think I might have to just branch out and buy a few now as they give lovely texture to the LO's.

Last Friday we had a girls crop night and I started something that I am excited about - it's more pink and ruffles, but it's sitting on my desk waiting for a the arrival of a cutting Die that I just bought and when it arrives I will be excited to finish it.

Just photographed the items for my next blog entry so I am an organised woman today!  Yah - love the feeling, even if it only lasts 1 day!!!

Bye All.......
