Creativity Boot Camp - Day 8

I am having a very tired day, I did my supermarket shopping this morning and now have a tired headache. I think it was all the excitement and driving yesterday. (5 hour round trip.) I also stayed up late last night to finish the pages and projects from yesterday, I need to find pictures for the pages we made. I did finish the little book we made, I added the final touches this morning, I post pictures when the silicone is dry. It is absolutely stunning, I can't stop leafing through it.
I woke this morning and threw open my curtains to see England flags flying everywhere on the street. It made me laugh because after all of the effort to try and get a picture for yesterdays fly prompt, these flags were flying right outside my neighbours door. Sometimes its the obvious that we miss, I can be forgiven, they were not there when I left home yesterday morning.
 Today's prompt is ornament, I think of an ornament as a decoration, either to decorate the home or ourselves. Here is my picture for today, this stands in my bedroom to hold jewellery. I don't like a lot of clutter around, so the jewellery sits in a box, I do like the stand as it fits the theme of my bedroom. I do leave these beads on it all the time. I decorated my decoration with some beads, which in turn decorate me. I think I've got this prompt covered.

Love your take on fly and the ornament is too cute. I had no problem at all with fly but can't seem to get it together with ornament. I'm also very tired today but I have the day off so I can just sit around and do nothing if I want!

This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued

Vine Tutorial

On Monday morning I took part in the UKScrappers blog hop , who would have predicted the response to the flowers I had made for the layout. In particular the rose vine. I was flabbergasted, but promised I would let everybody know how I had done it. If anybody does make one of these vines please could you credit me and if posted in a blog I would appreciate a link back to me. I was absolutely inspired by the gorgeous Prima vines , I have purchased many but due to the cost they remain in my stash, I am too frightened to use them because they are not cheap. They fall into the category of  'waiting for a special projrect'. This made me challenge myself to see if i could make something similar.  Firstly you will need to gather your supplies Florist wires florist paper tape paper flowers - they need to have a 'tail' on them, I used these card stock to make leaves either a leaf punch or die to cut leaves, I used these distress ink   Cut as many leaves as you
