An old Websters Pages layout that I still love

I'd forgotten how much I love Webster's Pages stuff - I did this layout back in 2011, but I remember enjoying all the paint effects I was inspired to use directly from these papers. I had fun continuing the paper pattern with paint and brush (I think i used distress inks actually) - and look at Cara's eyes! She was so fed up of me saying "let me take a photo", I thought she was going to explode! I originally uploaded this to scrapbook.com gallery and UK Scrappers too I think. Good fun!

Mini album - Cara's test

Here's the next page of my current mini album, using mainly Heidi Swapp product. I've finished the cover also, but I'll show that with the finished article upload. It's been great fun to make, thumbs up especially for Heidi's Color Shine spraymists. These little bottles of awesomeness are by far and away the best shimmer mists I have used, so full of colour pigment and metallic sheen - and no clogging! Gorgeous!

By the way - I am really waiting for my Tim Holtz Marker Spritzer to be delivered so I can get on with it! I am watching videos on You Tube etc and feel quite frustrated that I haven't got one in my inky mucky little mits! I have all the markers, distress paints etc and I love them, but I reckon this will bring a new dimension to my crafting - how about you?
Hi - at last I have been able to upload some of my stuff. I have created a few things since my last post, (of course!), but not been able to show and tell for one reason and another. Here is a sneak peek of my current project - I am so proud of my daughter and the reason for this creation. Of course they go hand in hand, I wouldn't be able to create one without the other.
My core resources are Heidi Swapp inspired - who wouldn't want to use her pretty things? I have to say that HS has always inspired me - I watch her videos and see her dream team at work. Gorgeously gorgeous!
This will be the first inside page of my album -my daughter is amazing and I love her to the sun and back.



This is one of many photos I took on my i phone on New Year's Eve  - she was meeting a friend from way back to watch a movie at Vue in York. We were in a restaurant having lunch together. Most of the time she was texting on her i-phone, (its the way of things isn't it?). She was slightly nervous, but it turned out to be OK because he and she ended up bringing in the new year together with his family. (My loss, their gain). I just kept snapping away cos I don't have many photos of her at 17.
The reason for my album though? She had just passed her driving test theory and was waiting for the date of her practical driving test. She was confident but nervous. I have to say driving is in her genes - both her dad and I are able drivers and she is no exception. I wanted to wish her all the best stuff for her test in February. She had been having lessons since October, when she finally got her driving licence through (she applied on her 17th birthday in August!). She was determined to drive - always!
Anyway - the story unfolds.

Sorry I uploaded the unfinished project originally - but it's all done now :0) x
