Todsy's edition of Riff Raff in Real Life comes from
Sandy Pool
You can check out her work at her blog http://www.paperpoppies.blogspot.com/
We asked Sandy to tell us a little bit about herself as well as why she loved Riff Raff and here is what she had to say:
I really do LOVE riff raff and almost fell over when I found it in a local store - I stocked up! I love the unconventional shapes like the sewing machine, the robots, the the tree - they're so cute - all of them. The best part for me though is the super-sturdy chipboard, and I adore the natural, simple look of it!! I like it best just as it is, in that awesome paper-bag color. (-:
I never really know what to say about myself but well, I'm Canadian, and I have a great lil' family, including a husband, a lilttle girl, and a giant, furry dog. I work full-time as a high school teacher and love my job. In my spare time though I'm all about making stuff - I could play with crafts, and fabric, and paper all day long.
A big Thank-you to Sandy for sharing her work! We love her creative and original layouts!

Today's artwork comes from Lisa Kercher. You can see more of Lisa's fantastic work on her blog "You know how I roll". To see more layouts with shapes from June check out the gallery. See below for Lisa's discription of each technique used.
I embossed some parts of the chipboard with black sparkle embossing powder and the other parts with black distress embossing powder. I also cut the flourish in half, flipped one half, then stuck it back together
both shapes I used on this layout have Tattered Angels glimmer mist on them (a couple of coats each). I used the leftover part of the postage frame that I cut on the Father layout.
