My July Creations

Hello  Everyone!
so here is the tally for my July Creation, sadly no OTP or digital for July ...i know i know naughty me...lol Still i made a couple of cards thanks to Deb's Creations and the truely inspiring cards that all the ladies are bringing to life! Seriously! i'm now becoming a stamp addict as well! lol i have bought at least Nine charater stamp in less than a month! lol well with the prices and cute images how can you refuse!! Seriously pop into Debs and take a look! Free postage when just ordering stamps! AWESOME!
 http://www.freewebstore.org/DEBCREATIONS/index.aspx?pageid=242956&clear=1

So on too the Creations! 12 layouts and 5 cards!! With My Masking tutorial on YouTube i had a blitz with masking..lol  First of the bat is Pretend Fishing using Cosmic Cricket Garden Variety, Adorit and AC alphas and i missed one photo while setting out the page so i included it with a hidden journalling




   Next is Not as Easy as it looks Using a mix of pattern papers from Basic grey, Jenni Bowlin, Senic Route and Making memoeries, this was a fun layout to do with the random Bo Bunny Stamping and a dash of Grunge board.
OH this is one of my Favs! Those Faces I was just discovering the Tim Hotlz Blending ink techinque with his Distress ink - Walnut stain, also i used my very first sketch Challenge that i created on Photoshop! so really love this layout with all the layers and the mix of different papers...Cosmic cricket, basic Grey, Making memoeries and uuummm...i forget the others...PMSL still this is just lovely with the stamps in the layers and the stitching! Did i even mention that i finally found the instruction for my sewing machine...well more honestly my Dad found them THANK YOU XXOO!!! My Dad the Greatest!

Next is Quick Click! This was a little rushed, just wanted to get the layout done and these photos scrapped to print out my next photo stack...lol Using the Cosmic cricket  Boyfriend range...These photos were of all of my Boys when we stayed a night at the Abby Beach Resort, we were lucky enough to win a free night with $150 food and drinks! Thanks to Good Guys In Bussleton!! Thank you Thank YOU!! so very exciting for the boys! First ever hotel and Elavator...lol First room servise and Spa!!! lol Worse night sleep ever though for Mum and Dad...lol still very thankful though :D Still got a double layout too do with the other hundered photo i took on the day/night..lol

Next is My Speacil Delight   I just had to record my totally girly indugence that happen though out May and June....Yes thats right i am a twilight Fan...lol But i seriouly couldn't choose Jacob or Edward...i'd have both! ..lol well that is until Breaking Dawn....PMSL! I also have a weakness for Brothers and Sisters...lol Just can't beat a great Series....Like Deadwood or Supernatural or Ghost whisper...or House! lol Anyway this was a qucik layout, still not happy with how it turned out but still a learning curb :D

Oh Now this is my very first Card with Kraftin Kimmies Pirate colletion for just $8.00 i picked this up at Deb's Creation Free postage for just stamps! That was it i'm hooked on these really cool! images and i have falling in love with colouring all over again! : D Here is where you can find this Buckener http://www.freewebstore.org/DEBCREATIONS/KKS_Pirate_Collection/cat242964_321113.aspx
