love

well lets start by saying I tried a couple of the techniques from Scrap Africa for their latest challenge....Distressing with a Difference..I really wanted to try something I hadn't done before (so the coffee and tea were out).. I tried the stamping with bleach..yeah that didn't turn out so well but I am willing to try it again at some point LOL then I tried Vaseline for embossing or stamping I ended up making just a big mess...
So I decided to try distressing m,y papers with a cheese grater ( you had to see the look on my hubby's face when he saw me he just shook his head and walked away!) which you'll see in my layout.. the brown and white paper was done with the grater but the one under it was done with a nail file/emery board because it was just too thing and I mangled one piece already LOL
  I used the fabulous sketch from the Flying Unicorns Mojo Monday 
and used some handmade flowers (big green one is store bought) for the Berry71blue handmade flowers challenge

thanks for coming to take a peek!

Time heals

I was inspired by Marivic over at Berry71bleu to try something a bit different,well different for me anyway...Berry71Bleu is having a challenge called Create Me.

This challenge is no-holds-barred...talk about your new year's resolution, your dreams, your childhood, your best and worst moments, what makes you laugh, cry, mad...what makes you feel beautiful...your best physical feature, what you wish you can change about yourself...your pet peeves, your frustrations, your favorite food, color...maybe a secret? whatever you want to talk about as long as it's all about you.

So I made  mini kind of inspirational/memorial ...lol not sure what you would call it but basically its a mini with quotes or just saying that fit me or what I am feeling right now and where I would like to be this year.

its called time heals....that's my word for the year Heal!

its really small 3 inches x 4 inches

 Oh I forgot to post the theme from Beryy71bleu...

I used the colors and the lace as inspiration and made sure it was about me..

I used what ever struck me at the time....

 so some of the pages are a bit different

 but that says a whole lot about me...lol

I am also linking this up to Zeus and Zoe for their scrap about your word for 2013 challenge.

thanks for taking the time to come and check it out! Any comments or suggestions are greatly appreciated!
