WOW Blog Post & Faux Metal Distressing Video.

Hi, On the school holidays Milly had a friend over to stay and I thought "Photo Shoot" as they scrapper does. So the girls got changed into matching coloured dresses, I got my camera ready, and off we went into the garden.

I took quite a few so you will be seeing more, it was really nice to take photos of a little blond haired girl, letting me use more yellow than normal.

 I wanted to use something playful on this layout and the C768 Pennyfarthing Bike was perfect, playful and old fashion.

I created the bike using what I like to call 'Faux Metal Distressing' to create this look you need:

Embossing Powder,

Embossing Ink Pad.

Distressing Tool,

Heat Gun,
And A Paint Dabber Or Paint and  A Brush.

View the short video below, on how to create this technique.

Thanks and enjoy the video, Gilly oxo

Wow Blog Post Wet Distressing Video

Hi, Over on WOW Chipboard I posted this layout with a You Tube Video On Wet Distressing, a new technique which I created when I was playing with a chipboard bird cage the other day.

In the layout I used the yummy October Afternoon Farmhouse Collection to create a very doily inspired layout.

Wow's New Design and Inspirations Team For 2012!!!

Hi, I have some great news to share with you this morning..........................
INTRODUCING ..... WOW'S NEW DESIGN AND INSPIRATION TEAMS FOR 2012!!!


Design and Inspiration Teams for 2012!!

Some of these lovely ladies I have worked with before, and some have become good friends.

This year's teams are smaller but we are going to be filling the Internet and magazines with lots of Wow chippies, it's going to be a Big Wow year.

This is my Me layout for the Wow blog post, which is a funny story as it was 3.45pm and I got a text message from Suzanne saying "Have you emailed me through your Me layout"? which I then rang Suzanne saying "No I thought it was only the new girls".

So at 4.45pm I sat down and came up with this layout, which by the time I found the papers took me an hour to complete, Anyone who has scrapped with me, knows I'm a slow scrapper, 2 to 3 hours is the norm with lots of talking in between and sometimes wine or watching Buffy again. 

So to do a layout in 1 hour is very rare for me.

I used: 12x12 Circle Frames c828.

And a Square Swirl Frame c?

I inked the Circle Frame first then wrapped with ripped strips of vintage lace.

The yummy vintage glitter glass, was still wet when I took the photo.

Make sure you go check out the Wow Blog to read about the Design and Inspiration Teams.
