Time to Play, Live Laugh and Love Layout!

It's been ages since I have done a layout, but armed with some new supplies that I purchased yesterday I decided to scrap the one and only photo of Rod and I which I like taken from our recent holiday to New Zealand.  Its like a once a year occurrence for me, allowing a photo to be taken of myself and this one had a bit of significance given it was a few days before my birthday and this holiday was also our way of celebrating our 20th Wedding Anniversary.

Supplies Used:

• Gesso
• Acrylic Paint:  Colors Tropical Water and Yellow Oxide
• Lindy's Stamp Gang:  Industrial Chic Starburst Sprays in Shabby Turbine Teal, Steampunk Sepia and Steel Shimmer.
• Carabelle Studio Stamps:  French Lilly Background and Layered Strips by Birget Koopsen
• Digital Chalkboard Sentiments by Gecko Galz
• Black Archival Ink
• Punchinella
• Very Vanilla and Soft Suede Cardstock
• Chipboard Stars, Die Cut Leaf & Gold Sequins from Embellishment Stash.

Smearing Paint, Spraying Color and Fussy Cutting was just what I needed to be doing this morning, I was Home Alone, enjoying the Peace and Quiet and avoiding the heat of the day (another extreme heatwave kinda day).  I am really happy with the color combo and how this page turned out given how long its been since I have done any scrapping.

I can see lots of potential for these beautiful new stamps and the chalkboard sentiments too!

WOYWW #228 - How's this for a Mess

Hi everyone and welcome to another weekly installment of What's on Your Workdesk or more fondly known as WOYWW!  For more information about this wonderful link up head over to our lovely host Julia's Blog here.

It's just a quick one for me today as I have just got home from a medical appointment and realized that it was Wednesday.....lol so I have taken my photo and didn't even pull the blind to let in the light.   I have been creating a bit this past week hence the mess.  My earlier posts will share some of these creations and the latest one I will share with you below.  You can read more about it over at Altered Pages a little later today.

It is a Halloween Inspired Mixed Media ATC Art Board created for Day 16 of the 31 Days of Halloween Blog Hop.  The Altered Pages Design Team is playing along with this for the whole month of October.  

This morning we said goodbye to 'A' for 10 days.  He has gone to a special camp for kids in out of home care.  10 days of hiking/canoeing and finding themselves in the wilderness.  On Saturday we also lose Mum and Dad for a week while they go on a holiday, so needless to say Rod and I are looking forward to being home alone the first time in over two years.

Wishing you all a wonderful week and Happy WOYWW!
