You Spin Me Baby SGC challenge using OUAS

I have been having giagantor printer problems for the last 2 weeks so I couldn't use my fabby dillybeans image for my challenge project for Southern Girls.  So I bit the bullet and admitted failure this morning and decided to do a layout as I had some photos of Angus printed that I wanted to use.

I need some inspiration for a design - I already had my boysy scraptastic kit on my desk so I popped over to Once Upon a Sketch to see what they had going on this month and found an awesome sketch, I knew I would.

So I got to work and here is what I ended up with....



 I started with white bazzil cardstock which I sprayed with Mister Hueys Honour Society using a hexagon stencil then sprayed again with Mister Hueys Silver.  I then cut strips from a couple of patterned papers to do my layers.  I then started choosing my embellishments.  The chipboard stickers are Simple Stories daily grind and the veneers are exclusive to the kit I think.  The flair is out of my stash but I am pretty sure I got it from The Paper Doll Company.  I wrote 6 on it with a DVD marker.  The letters for my title are Vera Thickers in Sunflower.

So I guess that is wrap :)  Thanks loads for popping by and Happy Scrapping.

You will need a blog.

You will need to be able to use digital images if you are a card maker.

You will need to be a member of facebook as this is where we do our communicating.

We are a very supportive, tight knit group so being a part of our DT is like being in a secret club.
