Where did that month go ??

Hey there - how have you been? I have been on walk about lol.... not really i have been on a tour of Australia and New Zealand on a craft adventure with Finnabair. It was so great to see so much HELMAR on the way...... my fav glues are also fav's of alot of ladies who attend our workshops - great to SEE !! Boy oh Boy did we have some fun.....but thats another story or two....

 Time to share -  i managed to do this journal along the way, which i found i couldn't post from my ipad or iphone like i had intended to do :-( so it had to wait until i got home..... oops sorry !!

First up Do you know how much i love 450????

It's a huge fav of mine and my journal below is full on 450 Quick Dry......

 every button put into place with 450 Quick Dry.............

 a few close ups ............ the buttons offer so much texture and a great way to use up all those you have in your stash that dont match anything ...... get the paint out !!

 thats it from me for now! This post is a little like me short and sweet lol - sorry but i have so much to do its not funny - feel free to call over for a cuppa and lend a hand lol....

until next time take care

You'll never never know if you never ever go !!!!!!!!!!

I'm talking about the Northern Territory - we have some awesome things up here to see and do.

My LO today features one of the things we have heaps of here - they scare the .... out of me really but this picture is awesome so i had to use it. We had family and friends visit recently and we went on a trip to the jumping crocodiles and this is one them. Its breeding season up here at the moment so we got to see lots of nests as well and all those females protecting all their eggs................

so with out further a do here it is.....................

 My base is made from Helmar's 2 step crackle medium, which sort of looks like croc skin hey ??

 Helmar 450 Quick Dry got my vines & Twine into place. Helmar's Acid Free was used to secure my photo & heading to the LO.

 dont she look scary........................well no doubt she is .....................

 A handy hint about  Helmar's 2 step crackle medium  I learnt this time round. I started with step 1 of the crackle medium and covered a fair area then when dry iIgrabbed my step 2 of the crackle medium to find i was low :-( so I only put it in a few places. Once dry I sprayed ink sprays and let dry again - once dry i found that the areas that only had step 1 applied to it acted like a resist, look above and you will see what i mean - the whiteish areas - pretty cool hey??

I love my HELMAR 2 step crackle medium if you didn't know - off to order more ...........

until next time take care & happy creating
