Tomorrow night we will review the amazing Inspirational teams layouts for your viewing pleasure....I'd better get cracking B-o

Leaf it up baby!

Just wanted to give you some hints on how to leaf it up on your layout. I've been browsing around Chooks Scraps wonderful shop and look what I've found!

Stamps are a wonderful way....you choose the colours - they don't necessarily have to be green B-)

There are also some gorgeous rub ons out there...an easy way to add some leafage!

How about die cuts??! Easy peasy! It's all done for you...just pop 'em out!

If you feel like getting arty farty try some chipboard!! Leave it raw or tart it up with your paint, ink & glimmermists.

And my favourite....divine patterned paper! If you're patient, cut out some leaves from your patterned paper. It doesn't have to be exact...just trim quickly around the edges.

If you're into paper piecing, try finding some clip art leaves....print them out and use them as a template. Also, if you have used chipboard leaves and still have the 'hole' you punched them out of...you can use this as a template too!

So many leaves....so little time!!!

If anyone else has any tips, let us know by popping them in the chat box >>>>>>>>>over here B-)

I'm off to Sydney for the weekend now....back Sunday night! Have a great, scrappy weekend everyone!

There are many ways to incorporate leaves into you layout. Think stamping, paper piecing, stitching, chipboard, stickers and there's lots of patterned papers out there with leaves on them!

We're back on track!!!

MAJOR apologies for being missing for soooooo long, but that naughty piggy hit us with a vengeance and we're still getting over it!

You've all been very patient and I thank you VERY much for that.

I'm currently making up sketches from past challenges for even more inspiration. These will be up soon.

Our next challenge will be posted on 1 August.

Once again THANK YOU all VERY MUCH for your patience!!!

Taking part in the pandemic

You may have noticed that Word Pictures has been put on hold this month. This is due to the fact that illness has hit my family with a vengeance over the last few weeks, topping it all off with the good ol' swine flu - and it's not pretty!

Please be patient with us....we'll be back, fit and healthy, with a new challenge on 1st July.

Hope you and yours are all well. xSami
