Is it July already?? Time for holiday woop woop!!!!

Finally, the schoolyear has ended and I have a 6 week holiday. I'm still trying to get my head around the fact that I don't have to get up in the morning, well, not as early as normally anyway!
So I managed to get a lot of work done over the weekend. I finished two Round Robin layouts, did three ICADs for the Craftorij Summer Challenge, ánd I did my July calendar spread. I'm so proud of me LOL!!
I wonder what I will show you first........
Let's start with one of my Round robin spreads, because I tried something new here. Love the effect, but hate the material.... It's is by Lindy's Stamp Gang and called: fusible web. I really think I could get the stuff in a shop for sewing stuff too, but anyhow. You're supposed to put it down on your paper, heat it with the heatgun, and it will basically melt and should adhere to the paper. Now this last bit is tough, because the stuff moves all over the paper and doesn't want to attach itsself, so I ended up pushing it down with my fingers which is pretty hot. Then, while it's still hot you should dump some embossing powder on top and melt it again.
LOVE LOVE LOVE the effect, but boy it's a heck of a job!

Oh, and note to self: don't blow with your heatgun while having the jar of glitter embossingpowder open LOL!!
I started out by gessoing the page. Then I stamped Tim Holtz stamps with pearl embossingpowder. I then sprayed with some Lindy's Starburst sprays which give a nice shimmer. Then the fun started with the fusible web.
As I said; love the result, but it's murder working the stuff! I stamped with a script stamp and Distress ink Frayed Burlap on the background for some interest. I also distressed the edges with this colour. The splatters were made with sepia coloured Ecoline. You can actually see some of the gorgeous shimmer of the LSG Starburst sprays here.
And here too.
Well, that was it for today. Since I'm on holiday now, you will be seeing a little more of me. I do apologize for being so absent. Will pop over and visit you guys, I promise! Hugs Frea
