Its been a difficult decision but I have decided to step down from my DT spot over at Twiddleybitz

Today I want to share with you a few things 

I have created using the fabulous Twiddley  Chipboard products

12 x 12 Shadow Box SB12001

Vintage Key VTG006 

 Itty Bitty Aplhas ALPHA005B

 Bag of LOve Heart  BAS013

 Using a 12 x 12 shadow box....

 I primed the box with gesso and let it dry completely

 I then painted it with 2 coats of white paint using a little paint roller...let it dry completely in between coats 

To add the texture I used a Twiddleybitz Chicken Wire Template and Impasto.... I placed newspaper inside the box to keep it white and sprayed 2 different colour glimmermists randomly around the edges. daubing off bits that were to dark with paper towel. Once completely dry I added some white Tim Holtz distress crackle paint .Other Twiddleybitz products,  Heart, Key Alphas and frame.

"S" White With 1

My Creative Team inspiration for the May White With 1 challenge.

This is the 1st layout I created, but after seeing a layout VERY similar with a similar colour palette on Facebook I chose to create another LO for the challenge (Post below).

However I still wanted to share this on my blog.

"S"

 I made this card using the leftover pieces.

After seeing a layout by the very talented Heather Jacob on face book in April,

 I actually felt sick and couldn't believe how similar her layout was to this layout I had created for my Creative Team, WW1 May challenge (sounds silly...and it probably wouldn't have worried me so much if it wasn't a layout I had created for my CT work...people on CT/DT  will know what I mean)

Thanks to Heather for her reassuring words that there are so many scrapbookers today,

 lots of different styles and when there is a palette and evidence

 it is difficult to come up with something really different every time.

...she also said..."Please don't worry".... think I need to remember these 3 little words.

It was just a coincidence that these 2 layouts were created at the same time.

I hope I have inspired you to join in with this months challenge at White With 1.

Thanks for stopping by

and a BIG THANK YOU to all those who take the time to leave 

such beautiful comments on my layouts.

Hi Everyone.

I feel a bit sad as I post this Layout today.

This is my last Creative Team layout  for White With 1

I had been playing along for 6 month and I loved the WW1 challenges and when I saw the opportunity to try out for the Creative Team, I really wanted to apply,

 but I must admit I had lots of self doubt thinking my work wasn't good enough...

I left it till the last minute ..still thinking will I, wont I, will I, wont I....send.

I remember the OMG moment when I read the email from Mel to say I had made the team...

 very,very excited and honoured.

.6 months to start with, then another 6 months

yes, I've been on the team for 12 months, where has that time gone. 

I have really enjoyed my time and journey on this amazing team. 

A big thanks to Mel for everything.

I will miss you all.

The May Challenge criteria

White + Black +  Badges/Banners

the badges/banners can be a colour other than Black/White

{laugh}

The team have created some amazing pages this month

click here to be inspired.

Note to anyone thinking or wanting to apply for  a DT or CT,

don't hold back, give it a try, because anything is possible.

Thanks for looking everyone and for always taking the time to leave me some love.

You truly make my day with your amazing comments.
