A big hello from Karen !!

Hi everyone, it's Karen here and I'm popping by to let you all know a bit about myself. 

I live in Melbourne with my husband and 3 boys.  I've been scrapping since my youngest was born, nearly 7 years ago.  I've just started again after an 18 month break, and have found my mojo and loving the craft again.  My style is masculine, grungy and messy.  I love texture and my favourite products to use are stamps, inks, paint and mists.  You'll always find them on my LOs.

I'm still waiting for my DT pack to arrive, but had a couple of buttons in my stash, and here is my example of the the April sketch

On this LO I've used one of the Chevron Flair Buttons and one of the Flair Button - Stars.  I've created my background using a mask and texture paste, with splashes of ink and stamping.

And a close up of the Flair Button - Stars.  So versatile to use on any LO.  

As I don't have any other LOs with PP embellishments to show just yet, here's a couple of my favourite LOs.  You'll see I love to get messy and grunge them up.

"JETSKI MASTER"

"LOVIN' THE BISCUIT"

"TIMES SQUARE"

Lots of paint, masking, stamping and ink on all of my work.  Just love how it completely alters the look of a LO, anything goes !!!

I don't create a lot of other crafty things.  Scrapping is my thing, but another hobby I have is baking and decorating cakes.  Only do this for family birthdays now.  Also enjoy watching football (especially my boys) and camping in the caravan.
