Nothin Sweet About Me...

yeahhhhh

sorry I have been singing this annoying song all afternoon... I have finally pulled this layout apart in the hope of getting rid of Tasha's awful Medusa Hairdo that all this handcutting gave her!

Well all I really achieved was a new luv... hehe

yep I have a new best friend

this stuff called Un-Do - OMG it's like liquid magic... you just pour this stuff on then using the scoopy thing it comes with you can remove ANYTHING from your page... I am absolutely stunned at how cool this stuff is

mind you it doesn't remove pritt power gel, nothing will remove that stuff!

Without this Un-Do stuff there is no way I would have been able to rearrange this page

so.. here is the finished page

I am not quite happy with it, but that's probably just me being fussy, its just that what i had in mind hasn't quite come out on paper - gosh that's the story of my life! LOL

I do luv the lighter background though, it has really popped the photo out more

I lowered the title too, much better....

the page is well over an inch thick with some areas up to 6 layers high all separated by 3d foam

and check this out...

Ann-Marie made me a cute blinkie...

ok, gotta run - behave yourselves

mwa mwa

another day another post

its been 2 weeks now and I still going strong on the daily posts!

Today will just be a quick one, I have my day planned to scrap - I raced around like a madwoman to get all the housework done before I took the kids to school so I could enjoy the peace n quiet for the day, well, that was my plan till my Mojo ran away

cant find the little bugger

I have sat here at this table for an hour now and done NOTHING...

no ideas, no inspiration NOTHING

I do wanna play with the basic grey cutouts I did the other day, but dont know what photo to use - come back Mojo, this is boring hangin out without you

I did a little more handcutting last night to go with them eva things so might play with them too

oh come back MOJO...

I WANNA SCRAP

I did this layout for the photoswap at TBSS with Kath

I really hope you like it Chloe, you are so very beautiful in this photo

yeah a little handcutting ... LOL

mounted on 3d foam with a touch of kindy glitz

I am so addicted to handcutting at the moment that I set this weeks weekly challenge at TBSS to guess what? yep handcutting.. hehhehe

so this layout also doubles for the weekly challenge

now thats what I call multitasking

Ok, I am gonna go for a quick trip to the shop, grab some chocolate and hopefully by the time I get back my Mojo has returned and I can get some scrapping done today

well, he didn't do his room

doesn't he just look so darn cute as a girl?

His sister and her best friend did this to him.... yes, his hair was crimped and put into a pony tail,

his eyes were sparkled with glittery eye shadow and I have no idea why, but he insisted on cats whiskers

and I couldn't finish it without some glitter! LOLehehhe Just just saw the page and he is now so cranky I cant stop laughing... if only he knew I was updating my blog with it too!!!!

Best go before he sees me

OMG that is sooooo good - great stress release

I made one heck of a mess...

I changed my mind a million times,

cut up papers, then changed my mind again

started on a girly page

ended up with a boy page

my table is covered in stuff spilling over onto the floor

I am surrounded by scrappin heaven

and LUVIN IT...

REAL SCRAPPIN ROCKS!!!!

** sorry digi luvers **

this layout is for the Scrappers Warehouse challenge at Debs Creations

I handcut the SEI poppy papers

Now I am gonna clear up all this chaos and start all over again!
