I think I swore several times and then shakily rang my husband to scream the good news!!!!!!!!<br />I walked around in a daze for&nbsp; a couple of days afterwards....<br />So you may ask why the mixed emotions.....for the last couple of weeks my best friend's daughter has been extremely sick in ICU in hospital, it has been and continues to be a very scary time for her and her family and friends, one of my projects for the application for Masters was about Kate who is in hospital, she plays a very important part in my children's and my life .<br />So I would like to dedicate my Masters win and opportunity to Kate who continually inspires me and everyone who knows her with her strength, &nbsp;courage and fighting spirit, she truly is here for a purpose to teach and inspire others....<br />Till next time...<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752113624600021402-1900440691083835251?l=glasshalffull-kim.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11918347942825196592noreply@blogger.com44tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752113624600021402.post-9380077916776785802011-11-27T05:36:00.000-08:002011-11-27T05:36:21.772-08:00I was extremely excited when the lovely <a href="http://thescrapfarm.blogspot.com/"><span style="color: #cc0000;">Melinda</span></a> emailed me a couple of months ago asking me to&nbsp; be a Guest Designer for <a href="http://www.imaginisceblog.com/"><span style="color: #bf9000;">Imaginisce</span></a> for November.

To create the circles first I punched out 5 circles from the card stock and to add some interest punched 3 circles from some co-ordinating pattern paper.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594663006004877218" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-d0UntQzeVHE/TaQ8XLbwl6I/AAAAAAAACd4/W7TAMX_FIss/s400/005.JPG" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 260px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />Then I grabbed four different embossing folders and embossed the circles in my cuttlebug. <img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594663005630482242" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/--DMIt7JkyH4/TaQ8XKCfx0I/AAAAAAAACeA/ogU7bezts3c/s400/008.JPG" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 269px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /> Finally I used some sand paper and sanded over the embossed edges and around the edges of the circles. When I put my layout together I raised some circles with pop dots to add depth and interest.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594663010328449522" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-OlCnIm5gHjY/TaQ8XbilEfI/AAAAAAAACeI/TlZnxxR5XmY/s400/011.JPG" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 319px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />For my final layout I decided to use some Jenni Bowlin studio vintage brights collection cardstock, It matched my school theme perfectly. I used my sand paper to distress the letters and numbers that were already embossed on the cardstock.<img alt="" border="0" height="640" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594663015287293794" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nBzpDwlwzjc/TaQ8XuA3B2I/AAAAAAAACeQ/BwrSOREluRw/s640/023.JPG" style="display: block; height: 400px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" width="640" /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5595429939963577730" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VGQ85WatSOU/Tab14nEdRYI/AAAAAAAACfg/CeblDZSPCjQ/s400/033.JPG" style="display: block; height: 285px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594663942215723970" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-PeCc-7H7_tU/TaQ9NrF0a8I/AAAAAAAACfI/VStJwHx2q1c/s400/031.JPG" style="cursor: hand; display: block; height: 254px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" />I also added some cosmo cricket woodgrain collection and core essentials cardstock which I sanded with my sand paper.I added some clear acrylic letters over some of the embossed letters to highlight them. To create the raw distressed edges of my cardstock, I used my scissors and quite vigorously rubbed up and down against the edges, I didn't mind if parts of my cardstock ripped either.<img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5594663546828035602" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-ZAzm1OGT3IQ/TaQ82qKDFhI/AAAAAAAACeY/oGjt1U-219s/s400/012.JPG" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; cursor: hand; display: block; height: 260px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 400px;" /> Till next time... <br /><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/1752113624600021402-6148068143150914117?l=glasshalffull-kim.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11918347942825196592noreply@blogger.com35tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1752113624600021402.post-89785946431703345252011-04-09T18:06:00.000-07:002011-04-09T18:26:07.303-07:00"Sorry mummy I didn't mean too" how can you stay angry when that little face looks up at you.
