sugar and spice

I don't often do scrapbook layouts, but i absolutely love these images and had to do a double page spread with them. Using a pink page that already had a slight pattern on, i used some masks, which i then inked around and then went round with a white pen to add stitching (and yes it took ages!) used some pearly doodles to add some accents. Inked around the photo which i used punches to make a pretty edge that i mounted the pictures on. The sentiments were from the Scribble flowers stamp set, which i just love. I glittered the petals and added gem in centre to finish off, and must admit.... im kind of liking scrapbooking, so may have to make alot more pages.       This shot shows a close up of the stitching detail.

OK you are probably wondering where this is going, right?! Well it really did start with a shoe. I brought these yummy shoes last summer and was immediately inspired by the yummy inner sole. It was cork but looked like it had been stamped on!! My mind was in a mad creative flow. So when Marion got some thin cork sheets in the shop some while ago I knew I had to have a go myself. So I created this layout which is about our trip in February to NEC Birmingham for a trade show, with my fab Scribble Flowers stamps . Stamping onto the cork, I then carefully cut the flowers out. Now the cork is quite delicate so you have to be careful not to tear it when cutting. I finished it off with some bling in the middle . Now the words on this set of stamps are attached to the flowers but I wanted to use them separately so I just carefully cut them off . Then on one acrylic block I placed the 2 words 'happy' and 'smile' just so I knew they were lined up perfectly. So what everyday i...
