Beautiful

I created this layout today of my girlfriends husband Mick

and their beautiful daughter Meghan. From the time I looked

at this photo the first thing that come to mind was beautiful.

I have created it to the challenge over at Scraping Outback.

It is the September 13 sketch challenge.

The patterned papers I have used are Bella - Boutique. On the back
ground I sprayed with Dylusions - Postbox Red and Black Marble
over a chicken wire sheet from Scraptopia and then removed it.
I then used my Kaiser Craft stencil - Chevron and modelling paste.
Once it was dry I then placed the stencil back over the top and inked
with Versa Color - Pinecone and Rose Red.

The hearts at the top behind the patterned papers are Charley's Cache -
Normandy Heart Doilies. I then inked them with the same two Versa
Inks. The chicken wire is made by Scrabtopia.

The rhinestones are from Prima - Say it in pearls. The flowers are
Manor House, Bo Bunny Blooms and Kaiser Craft. I think they are
all a lovely mix together. The heart/beautiful tag/title I fussy cut
from Webster's - Hello Beautiful paper. Last is the vintage trinket
Love by Prima.

 

U R My Ace Of Hearts

Afternoon Ladies and welcome once again to my blog.

At the moment I'm enjoying feeling better after my stay

in hospital and very much enjoying school holidays with

my two beautiful boys. 

I'm also loving the extra time I'm getting at more work 

desk. It not only gives me time to check out the challenges

and what is going on with everyone but gives me the time

I want for creating. So here is another of my creations and 

this one I have done for the challenge at My Sweet Earth.

As you can see it is a color challenge and this 

is what I have come up with.

To create my card I have used metallic card stock. The patterned 

papers are from Basic Grey and Kaiser Crafts - Timeless Collection.

It is from the Kaiser collection paper that I cut my ace of hearts card.

The rub-on letter on the card are from BTDT alpha rub-on. The two

inks I used on the patterned papers are Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Peeled

Paint and Versa Color - Black.

The flowers are Cre8tiv paper flowers and Porta Craft paper flowers.

My Little Cup Cake

Hello Ladies and once again welcome to my blog.

The LO I have to show you today is off a friends 

daughter Meghan. You will get too see a few LO of

Meghan and the rest off the family over a period off

time as I'm making an album for them. 

It is lovely to get to do some girly pages when in my 

home as you all know it is a boy zone. Miss Meghan

is my little ballet princess and a sweetheart.

I created this LO for the challenge at Creative Scrapper,

sketch challenge #251 and also for the challenge at
Frosted Designs in which I was required to add texture to
my LO. I did this using my stencil.

This is my take on the sketch.

 

The blue and red patterned papers I have used are from Basic Grey

and my layout is done on white Kaiser Craft card stock. The circles 

and stars have been been cut from my dies and I used a little Versa

Color (80) white ink on the edges and my black marker pen to hand

stitch on them as well. On the photo I used a Kaiser Craft rub-on.

 

The title is Cre8tive letters. On my background I used a TCW stencil - 

Mini Tiny Circles. I just love the TCW stencils. They are great for using

modelling paste or inks. On this layout I chose to use the modelling paste.

Once the modelling paste was dry I then used my blending tool with Tim

Holtz Distress Ink - Faded Jeans, Mustard Seed and Fired Brick. I then 

sprayed with Dylusions Ink Sprays - London Blue and Post Box Red.

  

Hope you have liked my creation of the beautiful Miss Meghan.

Even with all the sugary mess on her face she is still cute. 

  

Christmas Cards

I hope you like these 3 cards that I have made. The first two

have chippies on them from Scraptopia who I design for.

Kylie has not long started the extension of her business and 

she now makes chippies. If you pop on over to her blog/store

and check them out. They are just awesome. Hopefully it 

wont be too long and they will be available in other stores too.

Also on the three cards I have used American Crafts glitter 

Card stock. I have used quite a few glitter card stock and this 

one has so impressed me. It is great to work with. You are 

not left with glitter everywhere. Yay I say. It cuts beautiful and

is also great to use a rub-on on.

 

 

  

Tag and Cards

Hello everyone. I'm on the mend from my week in hospital.

Back at the scrap booking desk. The tag and cards are for 

my DT position at Scrapbookit. If you get a chance pop over

to the blog and check out what we have been up to. Also check

out the store. The things I use on my DT work for Scrapbookit

can be got from Jo.

 The only extras I have used are my dies. 

I have created some cards and a tag to show you the different

things that can be done with the awesome Graphic 45 

Bohemian Bazaar Collection.

 

I love to fussy cut and I do it every opportunity I get. By 

now you would have guessed that from my work. I love to 

                                                  get as much out of my papers as I can.

I love how the guitar has come up on this card.

On the guitar I used modelling paste. I applied it with my 

finger, making sure it was not smooth. Once completely dry

I then used a makeup sponge to apply Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

                                   The colors I used were Fired Brick, Peacock Feathers and
                                   Mustard Seed. These three colors are very bright and go so
                               well the paper range. The closeup below is to help give a better
                                                      idea of how I achieved this look.

The cards above and below are Graphic 45 papers, Kaiser 

card stock, ribbon and again my dies. Also ink and Kaiser

rhinestones. again I have fussy cut on each one. 

Travel

I loved doing this challenge. I do so many LO with people 

in them and this one I is a photo taken on our trip too the 

Victorian Grampians. 

The challenge I have completed it for is over at Bird Is The Word.

The challenge was to use the word Travel/Explore. As you can see

I chose to use the word travel.

I have used cardstock and my patterned papers are Prima's

Reflections Collection "Shimmer" and Kaiser Crafts Marigold

Collection. The Magpie and grapes/leaves I fussy cut from 

Feature Arts Golden Memories - Southern Journey range. 

The cog, spoke wheels, rings and the word travel are

from a newly formed chippie business called Scraptopia.

The owner Kylie has many chippies to pick from and they 

are all wonderful. I chose these ones and colored them with

my brown Copic (E47) because I felt it give them an old out 

door look. I hope you like my latest LO and there is still time 

for you to drop over and join in the challenge at Bird Is The Word.

I distressed the Prima paper and then used Distress Ink - Gathered

Twigs on the edge as well as the edges of the other papers. 

The stamp I have used is Kaiser Crafts - Rocks which fitted so well 

with the rocks in the photo. The word Victoria was from Kaiser rubon

letters. 

Autumn

Hello everyone. The last week has been a busy one for me.

I have been cleaning out the scrap room and also doing some

scrapping of a night. I have a couple of posts to put up over the 

next couple of hours. Between taking my son Riley to swim training.

This is my first one and I have used card stock and Kaiser doily's.

Everything else is from my scraps box. Bits and pieces off left overs.
I have done this one for the challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles.

And also the challenge at http://redcarpetstudiochallenge.blogspot.ca/

 

I had so much fun with my boys the day this photo was taken. We 

went to the botanical gardens and the boys rolled in the leaves and

were throwing them at each other as well as me. The laughter and 

and happiness was so contagious. Everyone who went passed either

smiled or made comment.

  

When taking the photos I had already decided that I wanted to

use some of the leaves on my layout. I collected a few and took 

them home with me. I then had too decide how I was going to use 

them on a layout and stop them from crumbling. 

The leaves I have added to this LO were from that day. About a
week after I had decided. I would laminate them. They would then
hold the color they were when I picked them up. Also they would
stay intact. I did them and put them away. I found them while cleaning
the scrap room and this is what I have come up with.

 

As you can see by the close up I have cut around the edge

of the leaves, just out a little. I didn't want to brake the air 

tight seal. There is no chance for any deterioration of the 

leaf then.

 

The challenge at Scrapping Everyday Miracles was to create a LO

about your favorite season. I never know which is my favorite, there 

is something I love about each one. I chose this though because I was

lucky and found the leaves and it was a special day of love for both the 

boys and I. The twist too this challenge was I had too add 3 or more 

leaves. I knew when I read this I had the right thing for the challenge.

I have done some journaling on the back of the layout. Just a little short

story for my boys later, about how the day made me feel and a reminder

to them of how much fun it was.

 

Shes No Witch

This is my latest creation of friend Jodie. I had so much fun doing

it, I kept thinking how much we were laughing instead of scraping

because no one else was having this problem.

 

It didn't matter what position she sat in or I was in taking the pics,

how close or far away, they all come out the same.....red eyes.

I decided that it was much more fun too leave them this way.

 

 

I created this LO for my DT challenge at Scrapbookit. Mel set this

months challenge and what a great choice she made. 

The challenge is all about a chippie (done), using up old 

rub-on in the background (done) and I used a few of them. The last 

thing was too make an embellishment. I just knew straight away what

I was going to need on this layout. I couldn't go past making the black

cat, witches hat and the broom stick.

 

 

 

 

 The papers I have used on this layout are no other than the beautiful 

Graphic 45 -  Bohemian Bazaar Collection. I have fussy cut the flowers 

from the papers. The flourish is from WOW and I colored it black with 

an acid free marker. The title are American Thickers - Sunrise. They are

a natural sticker letter.
