Heart Frame.

Hello all and welcome once again to blog. My Beyond

The Page Heart Fame has been made for an extra post 

over at Scrapbookit. I had so much fun doing it, but it 

comes to paper etc there isn't much I don't love doing.

I used the beautiful  Violet Crush Collection by Kaiercraft and

what I liked most was the fact it has so much purple. Purple is

my favorite color. 

The flower in the center I fussy cut and the wording is from the 

collectables from this range. I used 3 different kinds of Kaisercraft

wooden flourishes - Pennants, Butterflies and Owls.

 

 

 The Kaiser craft paint is Burgandy and the flower blooms and the

mini blooms are also by Kaisercraft - Grape. I have inked all the

edges with brown. 

 

 

This is a great range of papers and I have used it a couple of times 

now and been happy each time. So until my next post happy crafting.

 

DT Application for UmWowStudio

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog. This post is for my application

to UmWowStudio DT post. I have had some trouble deciding what I 

should choose to showcase my work. I hope I have come up with three

LO that have wow factor :)

"We Are Family"

My first chose is the above LO because it is a mixed media and I have used

 many chippies on it. Title, Lighthouse, anchor, sea animals and sea shells. It 

is one of my favorite LO. Modeling Paste, Inks and Copic Pens have been 

used on the different chippies. For the original post please click on the link.

"Love Each Moment"

My second choice has 3 chippies on it the top Boarder, title and the 

bench seat. I chose to color them with a Green Copic Pen as it matched

well with the green in the photo. The reason I picked this LO is because

I love how the bench seat fits with the photo and I was able to fussy cut 

my son to sit him on it. Again for the original post please click the link.

"This Is What Awesome Looks Like"

My third choice was no easier to pick than the others.There is always

something that I love about each LO and I'm then left hoping I chose 

right. This LO has a title chippie and the cogs chippie. I decided on this

one as it shows a different style of showcasing them. I think the steampunk

title and cogs were just perfect for the LO. The same as the other two 

please click the link below to have a look at the original post.

"Dream"

My final piece for submission is my Off The Page 3D wall art. I have 

covered the fence panels and the bird on the branch with 12x12 paper.

 Ok so my hard choice is made. Now let's hope it is the right one. Thank 

you for joining me again at my blog. 

Crazy Good

I have been so looking forward to showing you this LO of a

friends daughter who I drive to school. She is such a sweet 

young girl and the title is just perfect for her. She is one crazy 

girl but so good. She makes me smile and laugh every day. It

is kids like Rachael who make me love my job.

I have done this LO for DT at Let's Capture Our Memories and I
also made it from the Challenge at Orange Paperie & Co using their
color image for inspiration.

 

Rachael's mum did her hair for Crazy Hair Day at school. I have

such a huge love for these kids doing there bit to help fight cancer.

My mum was so proud of her too.

I created this LO for my latest DT post at Let's Capture Our Memories.

Make sure you call over and have a look at what the other DT girls have

created for this awesome sketch challenge. Challenge #73 is loads of fun.

The awesome chippies are by Scraptopia and so is the great stencil.

I colored the chiipies with Copic - Dark Pink RV34. The patterned 

papers are by Kaisercrafts - Precious Moments. The flowers have 

been fussy cut from the patterned papers. 

On the stencil I used Vintage Ink by Kaisercraft and for the edges 

of the papers I used Kaisercrafts Brown. The punch used is by Fiskar.

I used a fine balck journal pen for the stitching.

How Time Flies

Welcome as always to my blog. This DT layout is for Scrapbookit. 

I enjoyed doing it even though they arephotos of me lol. I always have 

a hard time scraping myself, but there are times where they seem to 

come together ok too. I hope you like this LO though.

 

I have used the beautiful soft pastel patterned papers by Prima. I chose 

to use them on black card stock and think it has really shown them up 

well. The title chippie is by WOW, I used white ink on it and them lightly 

over that I used a green and yellow. The only other ink I used is 

Kaisercraft - Bark on the edges of my patterned paper.

 

 

                            The birds and the clock are fussy cut from Kaisercrafts - Timeless
                                 Classics Collection. My stitching is with a black Journal pen.

 The gorgeous larger flowers are by Manor House and the small buds 

are by Kaisercraft. The green twirly bit are easily made from the wire 

stems off the Kaisercraft flowers. The wooden flourish, Oval Lace 

Frame is also by Kaisercraft.

Cute

Welcome to my blog post for Let's Capture Our Memories.

The sketch challenge this month is a great one. Make sure

you pop on over and join in the fun.  Have a look at the 

other DT takes on the sketch.

This is my take on the sketch.

The patterned papers I used are Kaisercrafts "Lavendar Haze", they 

were just perfect for these pictures of my girlfriend Mels daughter

Meghan. I love scraping LO of her. It's so much fun after my boys :)

The Beautiful chippies on this LO are by Scraptopia. I colored them with

Copics.  I have also used the Kaisercraft - Lavendar Haze Sticker sheet. 

The white flowers are by Kaisercraft and the larger by Manor House. 

I used a doily behind each of the photos. I used a die for my name

plate and also for my bud flowers. On the ends I used some 3D 

paint.

Boys Will Be Boys

As you will be able to see I have been a bad girl this month.

I just don't know where the time has gone. I have been spending

my time scraping and not posting on my own blog. Bad Brenda.

I have a reason though and will reveal it soon. 

For now though please check out the LO I have created for my DT

position at Treasures Forever. You can find them on my sidebar and

also on Facebook.

Yes you are seeing right. My very charming son Riley is at a party

for a friends Birthday and he is just about to shove a huge piece of

chocolate cake in his mouth whole the little devil. 

He was looking to see if I was and when he new I was going to take 

a pic and had seen he tried not to laugh as he paused to rethink. 

The chippie is made by Scraptopia and some of the other products

I have used are - Distress stains (Rusty Hindge and Black Soot),

Fiskers punch, Modelling paste and a Copic pen (Chrome Orange).

Everything else on the page is by Kaiser Craft.

FLOWERS were always his PASSION

Hello ladies and as always welcome to my blog. The LO

I would like to show you is my creation for this months

challenge at Scrapbookit. This months challenge was set

by our Guest DT Jenn Seymour and what a great one it is,

so don't forget to drop over and join in. Jo will be giving

an awesome prize for this months winner. 

This is what the challenge entails - 

1 Black and White photo
2 copies of your Black and White photo (any sizes)
3 Embellishments (at least!)
4 patterned papers and a
5 word title!

I loved this challenge and I know you will too. This was my

take on it using my goodies from Jo.

I have been so lucky with my monthly pack from Jo to receive

awesome papers. She has a huge range. This months that I got

to have a creative play with are  Prima - Free Spirit Collection.

The large and medium flower are by Manor House and the

small ones I made with Kaiser Craft Paper flowers. I have 

made the leaves with a die and inked the edges. 

 

The doily is a lace sticker from Prima. It is just beautiful and to get

it to show up so nicely I placed it on a piece of grey card stock and 

cut it out. The Prima papers are such beautiful pale colors I didn't 

want the doily sticker lost in them. The lovely silver butterfly's are 

also available in store at Scrapbookit.

The letters for my title are by Kaiser craft. The ink I used on the 

edge of my papers is also by Kaiser - Bark.

This photo is of my Grandfathers flower and bulb farm. Acres 

of beautiful Gladioli and Irises every year along with many other 

variety's of plants.  He sold the bulbs all over the world and he 

was well known.

I hope you have liked a the LO peak of my Grandfathers life. Please

jump over to the Scrapbookit Blog and checkm out what the rest of 

the team have been up to. I know they would love you to call by and 

don't for get to join in for maybe some of the goodies. 

BAD boys - by Riley Caldow

 Hello all and welcome to by blog again. Today I have a very

special LO to bring to you. This LO was created by my 11yr/old

son Riley. Riley has been on and off scraping for a few years now.

When time between school, swimming and a child's life permits.

He has been working on this LO for a few weeks now bit by bit.

I'm so proud of the time he put into this one. I think it is just 

stunning. He has been watching me and getting his own ideas 

how he would do it.

He asked Kylie from Scraptopia if she could design some paint

cans for him. So thanks to Kylie he got just what he had in mind.  

The photos were taken in a photo booth when Graeme took the 

boys to the movies. They had so much fun with the funny faces

and the boarder they used was just what Riley need and that give

him his inspiration.

He created it on white card stock and the patterned papers are

by Kaiser Craft - Attitude! Collection. The acetate sheet is from 

the same range. It was just wonderful how he was able to have

 everything he wanted just come together at the right time.

The sprays he used to create the background are Dylusions -

Cut Grass, Lemon Zest, Postbox Red and Campaso.

To complete his chippie spray tins he used Copic Pens - 

B29, G05, E29,YR04,C3 and R27. On the orange tin he then used

Derivan Matisse Ink - Carmine and Derivan Ink - Black. He then used 

Archival Pigment Ink - Moonlight White on a Kaiser stamp - Rocks.

 For the Blue tin he used the Kaisers - Oriental stamp. 

The spray from each of the tins is Micador 3D paint - Blue, Yellow

and red. 

The other embellishments he used were fussy cut from the papers

(just like mum does) and he used one for his journal tag. 

This is the final pic I have taken. I'm so, so proud of this LO for a 

very special reason (to me). He didn't want any help with this one

 and if I offered any instruction it was "Thanks Mum, that would be

good but this is what I wanted to do". He had a plan in his mind at

WELLA - This is the outcome.

Thank you Riley (he will look at my blog at school I know) for your

interest in my interest and learning what you have by watching me 

and asking questions. For enjoying Scrapbooking and creating such

a stunning LO. I love it and I love you young man. Mum XOX
