**Swirydoos** "So Surreal" Fairy Layout

Even though this is a picture of my daughter in her Halloween costume, I couldn't help but think how great it would look with the new Swirlydoos kit "Irresistible". Well that and a little photo editing ;) So here is the result:

The kit came with some ink resist paper that is super cool to work with. I used Forest Moss and Victorian Velvet Distress inks on the paper.

The Dusty Attic Chipboard Tree was Glimmer Misted and then I added some mini roses and falling leaves. I also used a couple of different flower tutorials from Lisa Gregory's blog. 

When I punched the side of the paper, I added the photo and then folded the loops over onto the picture to make it look more 'framed'

I added Liquid Pearls and more flowers and some ribbon to make a small cluster of pretties.

The butterflies can also be found HERE at the forum. Click on butterflies to find them all!

There is much more to do with this kit...so till next time..Happy Scrappin!!

**Swirlydoos November Kit** and some Prima Flora!

Oh am I loving the new November kit from Swirlydoos! It is filled with beautiful paper, Prima flowers, Teresa Collins metal frames...and MUCH MUCH MORE!! You have to see it for yourself to believe what an awesome kit this is...well they're all awesome!

For my first lo with the new kit, I scrapped a new pic of my daughter. She got her first set of glasses and I think she looks Fabulous!!

so

This lo was also made for Ang's butterfly challenge at Swirlydoos. Swirly challenges are so fun and brings out your creativity. I used the water distressing technique for the paper that Robin at Swirlydoos did a tutorial on. It's very cool. I also made a couple of the flowers using Lisa Gregory's tutorial. She has awesome ways to make your own flowers.

I ordered some Dusty Attic chipboard from Swirlydoos also and thought the bird bath was perfect for this lo!

The butterflies are made by Lisa at Swirlydoos to match the kit. Every month she does this and they are just full of color! CLICK HERE to see them. I printed them out, and after I cut the ones I wanted out, used UTEE on them. I added Liquid Pearls around the butterflies. Here are a few pics...

I also got some beautiful new Prima Flora paper from my LSS. Been wanting to work with it, so I did this real quick

Thanks for stopping by! Hope you'll get your creativity flowing soon! Till next time, Happy Scrappin!

Boo! ~7 Gypsies Halloween Printers Tray~

Hello scrapping ghouls!

Halloween is my fav time of year. The Fall season has to be the most inspiring for me to be creative. (well Christmas too!) But I've been seeing all these fabulous printers trays around and it really got me in the mood to make one..well several actually..but this one I made for just for Halloween. I found the tray at my favorite LSS, Scrap Trap-you can find them here on Facebook. I used Basic Grey's Eerie collection for it.

The fab Dead Head flower was made by my scrapping buddy, Lynne, at her mymadcow blog. She has them in her Etsy shop along with other Halloween goodies!

I love these trays. I just got a 7 Gypsies Receipt Holder to do next. It's awesome because you can change out your pics/cards to go with any season, holiday etc. Check it out:

Can't wait to get started on it while I wait for my new Swirlydoos kit!!
Till next time...Happy Scrappin!!
