Feb 123 Challenge!

Once I saw the criteria, I couldn't resist the Feb 123 challenge! I had an idea right away, and a coupled with a burst of creativity, I managed to get it complete within a couple of days. (My patience was tested as it took LOTS of drying time, as it has been so wet & humid here this week.)

Here's what I came up with (and yes, it's a canvas!)...

The criteria for the challenge were the colour FUSCHIA...

(I SO love these chippie mushrooms from Dusty Attic, which I painted then coated in crackle paint)

 the word FRESH or FREE...

(I am glad you can see some of the gold shimmer paint I used for highlights, it was hard to show in the pic!)

and last but not least, FRAYING or FRILLS...

(I thought this frayed mesh would add some great texture to my canvas)

I REALLY enjoyed this challenge and creating this canvas (which Miss B tells me is going to hang in her room...LOL), and might see if I can complete another one this week (between packing boxes!) :-)

A Quick Share!

Firstly, thanks to everyone for their well wishes over the last several weeks whilst I have been unwell. Your lovely words are very much appreciated and I am thankful to you all for thinking of me. Mwah!

Anyway, back to scrappy business, I just wanted to quickly to share a layout I did for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Feb 'A Novel Approach' Cyber Crop. My challenge was a "Dictionary Challenge", where you had to choose a word from the dictionary to use as a title, and to also include the definition of that word somewhere on your LO.
Here is my sample...

I used Bo Bunny's 'Sweet Tooth' range for this LO, which I think suited this pic of Miss B "helping" me with the baking (AKA licking the bowl...LOL) perfectly.

A bit of Prima from my stash...

My word was "happy", and don't you just love those gorgeous glittered Thickers?...

I'll be back again later with another share (if the sun comes out long enough for me to get a decent pic!) In the meantime, thanks for popping by! XXX
