I have been trying for days to find the time to post this
layout. I'm feeling overwhelmed right now & have decided
to prioritise creating for the next couple of weeks, to get
caught up, so if you don't hear from me you know why :)
What a delight of a sketch up at Sketchabilities this week!
Check out the awesome reveal right HERE, where this
fortnight you have a chance to win a kit courtesy of by
C'est Magnifique Kit Club so you WANT to play along!!
I had my Glitz stash out so I went for it with
all things girly, grabbing some gauze that I
had pre-dyed, a gorgeous Melissa Frances
resin embellishment and some good old Prima :)

I cut the title from a Glitz sticker and those lovely danglies
are from October Afternoon "Butterfly Gardens". And,
yes! I finally set up my sewing machine so I could stitch!!
Instead of the large photo I used a Glitz "layer" and
inked over it with Ombre to make it stand out more.
This one was fun and quick - scrappy therapy at it's best.
Nothing fancy - just layering it up...a nice metallic border
{bazzill bling}, a touch of stitching, some obligatory
stencilling then lick & stick with a touch of ink!!
*** CAN ANYONE HELP ME PLEASE***
I'm looking for a good online store (that ships internationally)
to buy some new Colorbox inks - the little square ones,
not the cat's eye ones as I find the square ones easier to store -
I'm having trouble finding them - anyone know where to go?

Dude! Sorry to hear you are feeling overwhelmed! I have a package heading your way and need some inks myself so let me know if you find some and need them sent....amazon maybe? Love this playful layout! I made ome similar gauze the other day sopretty! Great page and I hope it made you feel grounded again!
I like this one so much, cute photos and great work.
I can not help you with the shop BUT if you want you can order on my address and I will resend it to you;)
Splendid Helen!! I have to google that word, synonym for gorgeous.
It is indeed splendid! You did a magnificent work using the sketch. It all blended perfectly well with the stupendous photographs of your
alluring daughter.
WOW...this is an incrediable layout! I love all of it! This is one of your best Helen!
what a cool project!
no, I don't know about these inks...
This is just gorgeous! Loving the metal charms and the feather!! And I see that Mitra suggested Amazon... unless they have changed recently, I don't think they ship to you in SA.... so if you find them on there...I am sure one of us in the US can help by shipping them to you... I have done that before for someone in SA...
Found this on Blue Moon - http://www.bluemoonscrapbooking.com/CategoryProductList.jsp?cat=Shop%3AManufacturers:Color+Box+-+Clearsnap+InkPads

Beautiful LO Helen.. love the mesh and all your yummy layering and textures.. gorgeous!! :)) hugs
Gorgeous layout Helen...I love how well the Pink Paisley Butterfly garden go with the Glitz...and that stenciling is out of this world.
I have not seen any square Color Box ink pads lately--only the cat's eyes and the rectangles. Tsukineko has small, square ink pads--maybe you would have better luck finding those? Hope this helps.
This is just gorgeous - love the masking the embellishments are fabulous!
This is awesome Helen! The background looks especially awesome :).
