they might be a bunch of loonies...

but they are *my* bunch of loonies...and i wouldn't swap a one of them!

this is my LO for Scrapdolly aka Karen's 5th prompt to scrap your family...this is my husband...my sister and my BIL...my top 3 favourite people in the whole world...{equal third that is with my mum...my granny...various aunties...and quite a few friends!!! } but these are the ones that make me feel at home...that let me be me...and don't seem in the least bit fazed when i'm having an *off* day...love you guys! xxx

the details are...a gorgeous rubon which i think was Rhonna Farrer...and i've layered 2 layers of glossy accents over the top of the letters for prominence...a chipboard *f* which i've inked, stamped with a tim holtz stamp and then also double glossied {there i go again making up my own words!} i didn't have an inkpad in the colour i wanted...so i inked in blue and stamped in black to give a sort of navy blue effect...quite pleased with myself for thinking of that! ;0)
i don't know if anyone has spotted this...but i decided to make this album all *quick* pages...and entirely from scraps of stash...no new pieces of cardstock or pp for me in this album! lol i'm generally a super slow scrapper and i think i often spend too much time wanting it to be *just right*...i'm trying to let go of that in these pages and be a lot more spontaneous and use what is to hand...the pages are a bit *scruffier* for it...but so far i'm liking them...what do you think? i'd love to hear if anyone had noticed a difference!!!
