{Weekend & pretty paper stuff}

Yet another weekend over with :( Why do they go so quick. This weekend saw I trip to the Park, chilling out at home, a little scrapping, no cooking(whoop!), Baby Ella's christening and watching the tennis. I am now extremely tried! But I had a fantastic time. The sun was shining and little man was happy (apart from extreme meltdown last night as he was sooooo tired - he was so tired in fact he slept round til 8 this morning! Shocker!!)

Onto pretty paper stuff...

The ever so talented SJ draws the most loveliest downloads - which you lucky lot can download FREE every Friday! So last week I whipped up at little card with cute armchair download! SJ kindly provides the drawings in colour and B&W outline. And as much as hearted the colour option I had plans for the line drawing.

First I printed out the line drawings on to plain a4 paper 4 times. Then I used my trusty repro herma and attached scraps of paper over the images - over the sections I wanted to be in that paper. Then re ran the paper through the printer and voila!

I then cut out the parts and built up my image - basically like decoupage. Once finished I added some October Afternoon as the backing (i thought it looked like wallpaper) But it was a bit bright for the back, so to tone it down I sprayed it with a Maya Road mist in Lime. Printed off my sentiment and stuck it altogether. Complete card done! But check out SJ's blog for what the other CT did with the download.

I also managed a layout this weekend about out household lion loves. This was also in response to the studio challenges.

That's it - excited about Shimelle class starting today! Whoop!
