Another 12x12

Hey there!

I loved this fabric, and knew I wanted to feature it in a layout somehow, and teaming it up with some pretty decorative stitches on my sewing machine and it was good to go!




I love when a layout comes together with minimal work!

'Til next time!

Tea2 pretties!

Hey there!

Have you ever had one of those days where everything just turns to crap? You know, where you get out of bed and one thing after another goes wrong? Yeh, it was one of those days.

I had taken the kidlets into the city for a walking adventure and then we got off the train and the rain started, and then we got lost. Then the kids couldn't agree on what they wanted for lunch. Then we got lost...

Then I hit the jackpot!




By the time we walked by the T2 store in the city, the scent was beckoning me in from the rain - and when I walked in and saw hot tea brewing for tastings, I could have cried. These stores are like little museums with all the pretty tea sets and it smells amazing.

This layout was created using Heidi Swapp paper, and some dylusions ink. I am not 100% confident in this technique, but I keep trying because I love the look it creates! Pop on some thickers for a title and some cutesy tea themed chipboard, and I was really happy with the results!

See, nothing a nice hot cup of tea cant fix!
