Happy Holidays

Good afternoon how are you? Things are plodding along, I have been doing a lot of filming lately for future works so catching up on my 365 has been an evening mission. And I have been couch scrapping at night while waiting to do work pick ups at night. The first layout was difficult but I have started to enjoy the process as its is all about keeping it simple and adding things later once I am in the studio when putting on photos. 

So we will see where it takes me doing some quite, couch scrapping....

Remember

Morning, I know I know, you must be getting sick of seeing this 49  & Market collection ARToptions Plum Grove and these fairy photos but they honestly just work with each other and I really have to document the last ever bookweek. 

I spent 12 weeks creating everything for this costume, from twisting 80 metres of wire to make the frame of the wings, then gluing the cello wrap..... then of course the bling on all sides of the wings which mean there were over 10 thousand, YES over I said thousand rhinestones all individually stuck on the wings. 

Thats not including over the ten metres of tulle hand dyed to the right colour, then hand sewing the floral spray over the front.

400 small orange flowers also sewn throughout the tulle layers finished off with coarse with green and clear rhinestones, also individually glued on the skirt. 

Not to mention the tights..... Yes I know I am insane but it was totally worth it to see her face as she started getting her make up done and hair in the morning, thank you Miss Nae for your amazing work that morning. 

So yes it was worth going all out for her last ever bookweek.

Good afternoon how are you? Today I decided to have a little play with 49 & Markets sketch challenge..... Its such a great sketch there are so many options on what you can do, so why dont you give it a go?

Hello 49andMarket Fans and Friends! It’s a new year and we have a new Sketch Challenge for you! Each month we will be posting a sketch challenge and a random winner each month will win a gift from 49andMarket! So are you in?!
This month’s challenge is to be inspired by this sketch and use the Vintage Artistry Serenity Collection to create a project! Your page/project doesn’t have to be this exact layout. Just let it inspire you. Maybe you’re drawn to the lace, maybe the 3 photos, maybe the leaves… just let it spark your creativity and we will love seeing where it has taken you! Submissions end January 29th and a randomly selected winner will be selected on the 30th!

Fabulous

 Good afternoon how are you? I tell you what there was an amazing lightning show late last night and I spent a little time taking some pictures so I will have more photos to scrap ( not that I am ever lacking photos, but they give me a different subject to scrap). 

So I am a little bit late in creating and blogging todays layout as my brain didnt get going till later in the day.
