SCRAPTIVATE....

I love working with these girls they are so talented and masters each with their unique styles and I often wonder how I fit in their because I am your average everyday scrapper.... 

But I love a good challenge and Natalie always sends me the best products to work with and this month was no different... my favourite range Crate Paper Portrait collection.

I love the colours and Natalie made my day with Collection chipboard, lettering, german scrap and beautiful dollies and ribbons... I am a lucky girl.

and this is what I created this month...

Love these photos of Domi.... she was trying to blow the wishes and Rosie (our golden retriever was trying to eat the flying wishes, but they were going up her nose causing rosie to sneeze all over Domi.. disgusting but very funny.

Now I embarressed to say that I have had this Tim Holtz rossette thing for about a year and hadn't used it until Nat asked me too because she has a couple of them in store... and now I am addicted to using them on everything.... that and changing plain white doilies to rich colours by inking them. I cant imaging why I hadnt thought of this before but I hadn't. I have misted them but never inked them.

and because I love a stamp or two... no background is complete without a little unique stamping and embossing.

and now please dont judge me as a bad mumma cause I dont brush her hair somedays....

but how beautiful is she anyway???

and finally Cordelia gets a look in...

Broke out the Cricut for this one.... get Nat to give you a demo of this great little machine, and if you are after a specific cartridge drop her a line and she will do her best to get it for  you also.

and these are some of the other layouts I have done for Scraptivate in the past...

so that is it for me.....tonight.

I have been busy doing creative bits again getting ready for our Creepy christmas dinner party in a couple of weeks... so so excited and going all out with the decorations. and of course squeezing another celebration out of the christmas tree that has been up for some 290+ days.

cheers all naomi x
