Pion Design - Times and Seasons

Auckland Anniversary Day today - annual holiday for the hoi poloi!  Started off as a beautiful summers day, everyone in the pool, Dad cleaning the BBQ ready for a roast pork lunch - then the clouds (dark ones!) appeared!  Still patches of blue however, but not the usual hot languid day we have come to expect come late January!

I did get a chance though to finish a layout I've been working on using some stunning Pion Designs paper.  Lots of ink, texture paste, gold metallic rub n buff, liquid pearls, Crafters Workshop template and the obligitory smattering of flowers!  Also a chance to use a beautiful lace border that I've had in my stash for some time.





Something different though - I made my own dressform (small one) and key.  I found some molding clay at the shops the other day and have been making my own permanent molds.  Lots of fun!  Then I used good old polymer clay to create the embellishment, bake it, paint it and it's good to go!





In other scrapworthy news ........it took me 7 hours solid to clean up my scrap room on Saturday!  As you can imagne it was well overdue!  Admittedly, I did go the whole hog and colour code  my flowers, papers, reorganised storage for various bits and bobs and had a good purge of 'stuff'  that is really never likely to make it onto a card/layout now!  Good feeling!

Happy Monday everyone - off to check the BBQ!

Such a gorgeous layout Maggie, the Pion Design papers are so pretty. The dressform you made is so cute!! Did you make the key too? I love that as well. Very clever. The rub and buff leaves a lovely sheen....
Each time I clean my scrap area, I can never find anything and that drives me insane. I take my hat off to you cleaning your area up!

Sigh! These flowers have such a vintage feel to them, and I LOVE all the special little embellishments you included. Just beautiful!

Thanks for telling me about your cat, Sparkle. Bet she's sunning herself right now, just like my Cristabel!
