Gosh where has the last week gone??  I’m not sure I even know.  I get about the world these days in a land of my own.  Or off with the fairies as my Mother would say!!  Anyway, you probably don’t want to hear about all that do you??

I have a workshop make and take that is a 6×6 size.  Now most of my customers would scrap in either A4 or 12x 12.  I’ve got some pictures here showing you how i’ve converted the original 6×6 make and take into an A4 and then that into a 12×12 page.

This first picture is the 6×6 make and take.  Very simple and easy.  I find that if you use a black and white photograph it doesn’t matter what colour you use in the layout.  It will always match.  The colours used here are Soft Sky and Blue Bayou.  The Stamp set is Always from the Spring Mini.  The ribbon is the double stitched Blue Bayou.  The gorgeous child in the picture is my little man Thomas.  Cute huh?

This next picture is the 6×6 converted into A4.  I’ve just layered the original page onto Chocolate Chip Cardstock.  I’ve added a journaling block and some more stamping using the Always set.

The last picture is the finished 12×12.  I have used the hearts from Always and the “Rock and Roll” technique.  I’m a bit partial to that at the moment and seem to be using it a lot!  I just inked the heart in Blue Bayou and then rocked and rolled it into the chocolate chip ink which gives you the two colour effect.  Some more little circles at the bottom and Voila you are done!

I hope you liked it.  I hope my hostess likes it too!

I’m still operating out of boxes so my apologies for the lack of posts.  I have a hundred ideas running through my head but by the time I even find half of what I need to make it amongst the boxes and bits and pieces I’ve seriously lost my will to create!!  Poor me huh? LOL.  I’ll have to get me some of those Big Girl Panties on and Deal with it huh??!! LOL.  It probably doesn’t help that the bump is getting so big I can barely reach the desk anymore!!

Until next time,
Happy Stamping!
