Scrapping On The Edge: EXCITING NEWS!

Hi Everyone,

I have some MOST MOST exciting news, news that I have been bursting to share for a few weeks now. I am pleased to announce that I have joined the amazing creative team at Flying Unicorn. I am over the moon, I cannot wait to bring you all new and exciting projects, starting with the ones below (from my first creative team posting).

Today I would like to share with you two projects, one girly and one grungy, thought I would mix it up a bit. Let's start with girly by showing you my Secret Garden layout. A friend of mine posted a photo of her Mum on Facebook which I just 'had' to scrap, such an adorable shot.

Products I have used in this creation include:-

Papers

Time to grunge it up a bit!

This week I took a bottle straight out of my recycling bin, I decided it was way too nice a bottle to simply throw away. I set about figuring a way to paint the bottle from the inside without using a paint brush. This process was very simple, I made a mixture of Mod Podge, acrylic paint, Perfect Pearls and water. I tipped it into the bottle and shook it up, it worked perfectly, my bottle was then a wonderful deep sea sparkly blue. Although I ended up covering most of the bottle with paper, I can see pretty glimpses of blue through the peacock feathers and when I tip the bottle upside down the base is gorgeous. So definitely take a second look at your bottles before you throw them out, turn trash into treasure!!. Now let's take a look.

Here is the bottle from the front....
