so...... its been a while
things have been just crazy here in the shepppard-morris household which is nothing unusual. and there is far too much to catch you up on, so i'm just going to share my latest scrapping that i did at the May retreat.
I love this photo.... and i'm loving this layout cause i got to use lots of yummy prima. Nic and i spent the night making heaps of different ribbon flowers and i added one to this and ive been saying for yonks that i wanted to try painting with glimmermist which i loved and painted the bird.

I love this layout too, but hating photographing layouts and it came out a little blurry
I had to buy some Studio Calico to see what all the fuss was about and to be honest i'm not a fan, but they seemed to work well this this photo
And another little addition to add to my Scrap Girls retreat album
I spent nearly most of the weekend at the may retreat trying to make a ball. It seemed easy enough in theory but after quite a number of pull aparts and some help from Anne I finally made this........

and this was only the practise run........ so i could eventually make the proper ball and came up with this

the end result isnt how i originally hoped, but i'm over it now and im moving on.
But i am pleased that i tried something a bit left of centre.
