OMG that is good..but you have to watch it.. trust me its hard to explain esp when you are watching and people come in halfway or NEARLY at the end going what is that.. who is that.. what happened.. SUPERBLY annoying..but anyho. if you havent seen it.. then do..but dont forget the tissues....

byE.....

Bird is the WORD time again..yay.. and Boxx newsletter

well you know how i warned you YESTERDAY that it was a long post.. well this one is way WORSE... superbly long............
to start off i will show you my Bird Is The Word latest challenge word...
AMAZING.. yep i know its just amazing that word...hehehehe...
"Thats Amazing"
i have had that photo for ages ..and well this was just the perfect time to scrap it....{{and dont forget if you are stuck there is a Sketch prompt on the Bird Blog.. i did use it ..well sort of...}

the photo and the title..oh and the banner..cool hey.
the journalling..
and i just thought i'd throw in one of the height...hehehe..

and now onto the BOXX newsletter... well as most of you know i have been doing the Book of You kits.. i chose the kit stuff and then do layouts relating to YOU as the theme... anyho. i must admit right off the get go that i am NOT happy with these layouts.. i'm not sure why..but they just well.... blah me....so here goes.... {{FEEL free to skip to the end but still leave a comment...hehehe}

"Like a Hurricane"
i sent out a thing to the subscribers asking them to let me know what they wanted as themes..one came back as a SONG you like or means something... well this song is something that oneday i will find.... i know..but sometimes i do get lonely.... {{DONT LAUGH BB>>>....}

the photo.. a crappy old one..but still a photo of me.. i loved that journalling that was on the pp that i chose so i JUST had to cut it out and use it....
some stitching and the words to the song.. and YEP the "love" and "hurricane" are from the same sheet of alphas.. i got a white one and then just changed to suit my layouts.. {note below i have used them again in some other colours..so versitile...}
the banner...... and then someone suggested.... "something you love doing"

well spending time with my soul is a big part of what i love doing..even though sometimes i just wonder.. you know the times where you just have enough and have to lock them outside... oh i kid.. no seriously i dont.. LOL...anyho.."Our Time"
i actually thought alittle bit about this one..and took photos on the way so i will load this into the kit group..so a step by step instructions with photos.. i know ADVANCED hey..lol
the letters again..and some paint and some ripped tissue paper.. cool.. the flower .. i like how that turned out..

and the cage and bird was on the tissue i just stuck it to some chipboard first to give it some depth and strenght... and THEN.... another suggestion was a TEENAGE page... so i dug out some photos of my ever present nieces.. Tosharn this time....
"16"
yep... LOTS of random here.. some ripping.. stitching.. doodling.. and paint.. teenage really..hehe

oh yeah and i drew and wrote and coloured randomly through this... {and if you are looking for some of those flower cabochons go HERE.. my shop..PLEASE...lol...}

another couple of flowers..the bottom one i made from the pink paislee artisan tape.. love that one and will definately try it again...and YEP i just added the other numbers randomly coz well it was a WHOLE lot of random for this one... so have you had enough .. i probably think so.. but tomorrow is tuesday and then Wednesday ..getting photos printed...and then its thurday.. and then FRIDAY and that will lead me right to the Scrapbooking Expo.. at south bank..yep i am goin on the Saturday and SUnday..so be there or be square... seriously.. PLEASE say hello to me it will make me feel so very special....... and if you are unable to attend.. SUCKER... hehehe..sorry just had to rub it in.. sorry .. for the long post again..and getting slightly side tracked at the end of this.. PLEASE leave me some LOVING.....

Scrap the Girls.. GRUNGE style...

>

so i have done my first challenge for the month.. it is the scrap the girls May challenge,...
"Scrap a layout based on an important female in your life. Extra criteria: more than 20 words of handwritten journalling"...
so i thought i'd give this one a why not go... so i had a look.. and since i've already done a layout of my MA recently {{yep yet to be seen}} i thought i'd do one of my Big Sister....
and well things didnt quite go to plan.. it started out with a great big... AHH CRAP...

see.. i was folding the foldies but didnt watch what i'm doin and stuck it in the yet to dry black paint.. crap.. so i could've taken the easy way out and tossed it..but instead i fixed it...
and here is the result...
"Always."
YEP thats right peeps.. it kind of went on the grunge side of GIRL.. lol... but you know what i really like it.. it just suits Michelles personality to a T.. she isnt a girly girl... and she's alittle grunge... so yay..

Closies...

see what i did.. the super sweet Sandra Wallace sent me this flower.. PERFECT hey..

the Journalling...oh and to make the butterfly work alittle better .. i went over it with black sharpie and then coloured it...

"Angels.."
{please give me hints on how to take photos of WHITE background layouts.. i can never get it right..they either end up dark -like this one, or so totally over exposed.. eek.. darn it..crap}
but anyho. i think you can still get the drift... well i hope.. just wanted to also add how this one started.. i said to myself.. self lets do some scrappin..so went into my room and the leftovers were sitting on my desk so i thought why not.. so i cut and misted the kraft grabbed some white cardstock and stuck them down, added the strip of sass and then punched and added the butterflies.. so wallah scraps used..woohoo.. then i just had to find photos and stuff to go with it.. oh and i had made the WINGS before.. i was goin to make them into a ATC but they were screaming at me to put them on her.. Holy crap i just rabbled on abit there ... so i will stop talking now.....
