Twiddleybitz Blog Hop

Welcome to my post for the Twiddleybitz Blog Hop. If you haven't come here directly from Lisa's blog, then you might want to start at the very beginning to make sure you don't miss a thing. Click here to be transported to the Twiddleybitz Ning now.

To say I'm thrilled to be on the Twiddleybitz design team would be an understatement. Not only do we get to work with the best quality chippy in the world, but I also have the honour of being associated with some of the most talented people in the country. A special mention must go to Tiff Sawyer our DT coordinator, who despite having a very difficult year herself has still managed to make us feel loved and important. Nic and Andy, the brains and brawn behind the Twiddleybitz name are just wonderful people - nothing is ever too much trouble, and they have the best sense of humour to boot. My only regret is that we live on opposite sides of the country so I don't get to see them as often as I'd like. Love you guys!

Ok. Onto my project. It's a landscape A4 layout of my daughter on her first day back at school way back in February. Doesn't time fly?

I started with an A4 sheet of kraft cardstock, and stamped the calendar stamp from Darkroom Door (love those lines!).  Then I sprayed some big droplets of Walnut Colour spray to add some interest and contrast to the background.

I left all the chipboard raw, and it matches really well with the cardstock base.

I had a small collection of  Twiddley Alpha Square letters left over, and decided to use them all without worrying about forming a particular word. I placed them in random order down the left hand side of my page.  I also used School Dayz kids to join up the letters with the photo way over on the right hand side of the page.

To finish it all off (and to fill in a huge space at the centre top), I used one of the curly arrows from the Basic Arrows bag to join the title 'cloud' to the photo. Some lines of text cut from an October Afternoon sheet of patterned paper filled up the spaces on the right of the layout.  Here's a close up:

Thanks for stopping by.  Anyone leaving a comment here on my blog will be put into a draw for a little pack of Twiddleybitz chipboard.

Don't forget to pop into the Ning to see some inspirational work from the rest of the design team, and for more chances to win some cool chippy.
