Winner

Curse the bloomin' weather we are having....hot and overcast and completely rubbish for taking photos of white layouts!! Wish I liked colour, life would be so much easier!!

Enough of that, I have found two lovely challenges today that I have incorporated into one layout, using my gorgeous CKC kit :0)

1. About a Girl have a June challenge to use doilies on your layout.

2. The Studio Challenges are doing a Lift Chain Blog Hop...which is genius in itself. I chose to lift Amanda's layout.....a real beaut :0)

Here is my take:


Our local zoo is 50 years old and held a competition to colour in a giraffe.The winning entries were painted on a lifesize model. DGD's Nursery were one of the winners and their giraffe is in the entryway to a large supermarket.


title cut on the Silhouette. I used watered down acrylic paints to splatter as I didn't have the right colour mists.


I have been having a massive clearout in my craft room....pictures soon....and have discovered so many things that I have never used....like this little die :0)


lovely ring stain stamp from a set I won from Skissedilla ...yay!


sorry for the hideous photos...such a shame as this layout is so pretty in real life!! Perhaps I should have waited to share it ;0)

Thanks for popping in today,

Ali x

  5. Good on you going in The Studio challenge hop thingy...I hopped around cos it was such FUN seeing how different the original LO ended up! And I thought that was a negative circle misting....it's a STAMP....marvellous....cotton around circles....ooooh yes!!! Gotta remember that idea...looks totally BRILL:):):) Errrmmmmm some of us are too darn lazy to get out the water colours, water them down, put them in a bottle & mist...not mentioning names....... it looks really good, too:):):)
