Scrapbook Savvy DT - MME Out of the Blue

Hi to anyone passing through :)
I have only been home for the past few hours after spending a fabulous scrapping weekend away in the country with 2 gorgeous friends.
We left here on Friday night and scrapped our time away until the wee hours of this morning. We would have loved to stay another day or so but sadly we all have to work.

First thing on my scrapping 'to do' list was to attack the gorgeous kit Sar had put together for me using this awesome collection from MME. Sar really does know me very well, cause I have been drooling over this collection for weeks!!
Such perfect papers to scrap master Harrison and no shortage of photos.
Hopefully what I have created will inspire you to have a play with this range which is still available to be purchased here.

Always playful

2 Crafty reveal - Cuddles

Went for the layered look using 2 gorgeous 12x12 chipboard borders from 2 Crafty. Gave them both an ink treatment, the butterflies have been shaded and the flourish border a speckled finish. Love the depth it gives the page and how cute is the little girl. She definitely makes me look better LOL!

2 Crafty reveal - What a delight

I love playing with inks and I have even more fun when it involves a few different colours. Using a gorgeous 2 Crafty frame and about 3 different colours of ink, I have managed to create this fabulous speckled finish on the chipboard and it is perfectly enhanced with Glossy Accents.

Miss Terri did you notice my bow, thanks for the link xox
