I am so sad as today is my last blog post as a Helmar Design Team Member. I have enjoyed every moment of this experience. I have learnt so much from all my other fellow design team members and Helmar followers. I have been inspired on a regular basis. I have stepped out of my "scrapbooking layout box" and tried new things including cards, tags, art journals, canvas and SMASH pages.
I thought long and hard about re-applying. But I have a dream, and I would like to chase it and see were it leads me. Could be straight back here!! But I need to balance life and art. I have two very gorgeous little men in my life, who are very important to me as well.
With all that said, I would like to share with you a double page layout that I hadn't been able to share as it was published in Scrapbooking Memories in Australia.
This is my little man Lucas. He smiles and his face just lights up! I love the color combination of blue, orange and black.
I used alot of heavy embellishments. To glue I have used Helmar Tiger Grip. I used it everywhere on this page. As I was using fabric, wood, leather and heavy chipboard.
I painted and stamped on some wooden buttons. I used Dusty Attic Chipboard – Music Notes and painted them up, then glued them once again with the Helmar Tiger Grip.
I used Helmar Liquid Scrap Dots to give some depth to my journalling and photos.
I added some stitching around the edge of the page to tie all the colors in together.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for sharing this journey with me.
To all the Helmar Hotties old and new, it has been an honour to be on this team with you. I know for sure that I have so many new friends for life.
And I will always be a Helmar Hottie.
