All Porked out - Scrapology September Challenge

I was thrilled to be asked to be guest designer for September for the Scrapology blog.

As always there is a great sketch to follow and the theme for this challenge is E for Embossing - dry or wet.


I used a mixture of Fancy Pants papers - Road Show and Lilac House and a photograph from our Rhine River cruise last year.  Sadly we didn't choose a great company to go with for the trip and we lived for the week on a wonderful diet of pork.  I am not the greatest lover of red meat and apart from a bit of bacon rarely touch pork.  I felt really sorry for the lady in our party who was a vegetarian and was given a plain omelette every day for lunch and evening meal.  DH came up with the title - when he saw what photo I was scrapping he said 'Oh don't use that picture of us - we are all porked out!'

The flowers were punched using EK Success retro flower punches and were then dry embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder, the pearl centres for the flowers and on the butterflies are from Sarah's Cards. The title is foam thickers and I used Martha Stewart and Stampin' Up border punches

You can find details of the challenge here and I look forward to seeing what everyone creates this month.
