Excuse the pics of some of my layouts, not happy with how they turned out color wise and all. First layout is for Scrapbook Takeout's first challenge....WHITE SPACE!! I'm not a white space type scrapper...I have trouble leaving something alone...but this was fun and I like how it turned out. Don't know if you could tell in the picture but I even embellish the back of the maya sheer journal thingy....I layed strips of tape across using my atg gun and then I sprinkle three different types of Making Memories glitter all over it. More glue and then pressed down on my layout.
Here I tried one of Li's technique for a layout....she likes to just do the layout and then find and add pics later that go with it. Well at the time of this layout I had an idea what pics to use but didn't have them edit or printed out so I went ahead with the layout first than got my pics on it later. Used the Scrapbook takeout kit here(above layout uses most of the kit as well). I love the stamp that came in the kit....used it here for my background and did a paint resist technique on it.

Here it is all done and added my pics and a few more things. See my "black" frame hearts those are those old memory maker tags that are silver and you add your own paper and you have to use that tool to squeeze it all together. Yep I actually used it. I painted my hearts with a black sharpie!!!

Here's a peek for the stylin stamp swap I'm in over at Bag Girls....I'm in like five different themes and have to make five each.....I started with the birds/nature theme first. You have to embellish your stamp...not just ink it. Here I flock and outline black pen and used a glaze pen. I still have many more stamps to do and need to get to it.

Finally here is my layout for July's Bad Girl challenge for their cute apron. You had to "junk" up the layout....in other words......embellish embellish. Well here's my entry and NO I didn't win...again. LOL!!! But at least this layout I love, the other entrys I submitted before I never care for just was trying to win doing what they say and using as much as the kit as possible. This time I relax and did what I want! I added a few things not in the kit this time as well.

That's it for now. I wish I had tons of great stuff to show you but I don't. Just not enough free time in the day. :) So much to do and so much want to do. I still have projects for 52 pick up to complete, stamps to make for the swap, second scrapbook takeout challenge to and I'm looking into getting into some ATC swaps and have been looking up on art journals...FUN FUN FUN. Later!!!
