Yellow Tuesday Trigger

Have a look at this week's Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World:

It immediately made me go and get my yellow papers! And since I had some black and white papers from my previous project on the desk, I used those as well. I also used a mannequin image to go with the "clothing" theme of the trigger. The image is a free digi stamp by Pop "N" Stick: there are some lovely images in the blog, like a beautiful Singer machine that I've already downloaded because I know I'm going to need it at some point the future, so check it out!!!

And here's my project:

There were different digis of the mannequin, and I chose the one with the scarf on. I'm so glad I did, because I love how this scarf turned out. It looks silky! 

And before I leave I wanted to share some good news. Another project of mine has been chosen for the CK Club spotlight this week. Two weeks in a row is great news!!!! Here is the spotlight.

Tuesday Trigger

I've been looking for something different these days. I've only been doing DT projects for some time, and I was feeling a bit in a rut. Nothing like a couple of projects that have nothing to do with DT duties to get the mojo flowing again. I found the perfect projects at Moxie Fab World, because they are really different from my DT challenges. And they are absolutely inspiring. This week's Tuesday Trigger is this:

It made me want to start working at that very minute! And this is what I came up with:

A little book for travel notes. From the trigger I took the colours, the patterns (polka dots and the stripey ribbon that shouted at me from the rack saying: "don't I look like the bottom fabric?) and the ribbon strips. 

I've had this stamp from Studio Calico for some time and never used it, though I love it, so this was my chance! Doesn't it look gorgeous?

If you feel inspired by this trigger, too, you have time to play until next Sunday (June 26th).

I'm SEW excited challenge!

This has been a very long weekend for us. DH was off work on Friday, and today, Monday, is also a holiday - Labour day, I think. This means little scrapbooking for me. On Friday we had lots of errands to run, on Saturday we travelled to the south of the island to see the mud volcanoes, and some other great places (so many pics, I'll never ever get to scrap half of them!!!!), and yesterday we had friends over to celebrate Father's day with a BBQ and swimming pool afternoon. Not that I'm complaining, I've had a great weekend, but I have had a sketch and pics printed since Thursday and only finished it this morning! I started working with Sketch Inspiration's sketch 224, and printed three photos for my sister's wedding album. They are photos of the dresses she tried on but didn't finally choose, and I loved the idea of including them in the album. I had bought a dress sticker especially for this page, but once I saw the photos, I knew I couldn't give them a formal look, so I had to look for something different. Then I saw the challenge at Moxie Fab World, to include sewing icons in a project, and I knew that would be just right for my page. So here is the final result, a little hard to photograph as the paper is very thin and the humidity outside makes it so soft it was hard to set it straight for the photo.

For the mannequin, I used the shape from an old Bo-bunny chipboard sheet as a stencil and painted it with acrylic. I wanted to give some texture to the acrylic, so I played a little with the paintbrush. 

The other icons are from a set of charms at the Silhouette store. I printed one on cardstock and added paint and rose trim, I used one as a stencil to paint with acrylic on the paper, and I cut the other two in shrink plastic, though I didn't shrink it. I also stitched some swirls like the sketch showed.

I woke up in a very scrappy mood today, so I hope I can continue working on some of my DT projects for this week (DD and DH are in the pool right now, so that should give me some time!). I need to work on a Wordworld pinata for DD's birthday in the afternoon!!!
