Scrapping the Music Challenge

Hi there! While this is a great song - nothing in it really spoke to me on a deeper level...so I just grabbed the phrase 'take a bath' out of it and did up these pics of S from the other night! TFL!!!

June Club Layouts...

Hi there! Here are the pics of the layouts that we worked on at club on Wednesday night. I was SO happy to see that people took the 'tree' layout and really made it their own! There was a lot of Free-stylin' going on!!




The second layout, using the Miracle paper pack was a bit more detailed. The cutting instructions are as follows: from the 1 extra sheet bamboo (2 sheets are going to be your background paper), cut 1 piece of 8x8 and 1 piece of 3 1/2 x 5. You will have 2 sheets of either garden green or crystal blue cardstock. Please plan your cuts before you do them or you might not have enough paper. You need 1 pice 8 1/4 x 8 1/4, 1 piece 5 1/4 x 7 1/4 and three piece that are 3 3/4 x 5 1/4. From one piece of patterend paper, cut 2 strips that are 4 x 12 each. Then cut various squares for the pinwheels. some size suggestions are 2 1/2 x 2 1/2, 2 x 2, or 1 1/2 x 1 1/2. You will cut on an angle 1/2 way into the centre of these sqares and then fold each alternating corner in to the centre and glue down with a glue dot. There is lots of extra patterned paper in this kit so don't worry about making a mistake on the pinwheels - you can always make new ones!





As for the title and the one accent flower on the journaling block, we stamped images with versamark, covered them with clear embossing powder, heated them and then inked a sponge and inked over the image. This is called resist embossing. I think that is all we did but if I think of something that we missed - I'll post it asap!
Thanks and I hope you enjoyed making these layouts! See you next month!!!

Thanks Ladies for your quotes! Great to see we have some people in the running for the prize pack!! Here is my actual 'scrappy quote':
"The nicest and sweetest days are not those on which anything very splendid or wonderful or exciting happens, but just those that bring simple little pleasures, following one another softly, like pearls slipping off a string."

Have a great night!

Here is mine - quite recently I heard this - I also have a more 'scrapbooky-type' one that I'll post later but I love this one and I hope that Ms. Lagarde is elected as president of the IMF - a change the 'world' could use I think!

Ms Lagarde, who once said France's "obsessive thinking" prevents reform, argues the financial crisis can be partly blamed on the aggressive, greedy, testosterone-fuelled world of stock exchange trading rooms.

"In gender-dominated environments, men have a tendency to show how hairy chested they are, compared with the man who's sitting next to them. I honestly think that there should never be too much testosterone in one room," the divorced mother-of-two said in a newspaper interview earlier this year.
