Remember the other week when Simon says Stamp had my favourite challenge Distressing, I'm being sarcastic here. Well this is the one I started to make but was disappointed how it bleached the Distress Inks.
Well I left it allow and when I went back apart from the bottle they worked, the bottle you can still see a bit of the oxides.
I used the same stamps Tim Holtz Mini Blueprints Beer stamps and the Simon says Stamps Stitched Squares and Rectangles.
Finally I used the Simon says Stamps Furry Cat and Box stamp, the sentiment is like handwriting.
Did I mentioned I heat embossed the stamped images this stops the bleach going where you don't want it.
I had a great time on Saturday, I didn't do that many layouts three in total but I did start a double layout but when I got glue on three of the photos it was time to call it a day. Luckily I print my photos.
I've been convinced by my fellow scrapbookers to pack my bags before I go on holiday so I could go to the charity one at the end of September not sure if I will be up for this but my crop fees are mostly going to charity so it would be in a good cause. If I only manage half a day it will still be good.
I was nominated and won the Woman of the Year award at my Slimming World Group, I can see how far I've come and I plan not to put it back on again.
Many congratulations on your slimming award Debby its not easy losing weight as I know so well done to you...
