You & Me

Hello again. I said there would be more tonight so here is my 

second post and yes it is different from the last one. I have liked 

the chopping from one style to the other. It has been fun, fun, fun.

This LO is of my beautiful son Harley and I taken on our Holiday 

to Mt Gambier. The boys and I go for a week together each year 

and it is such a special time for me. 

The hearts off this one were perfect for what I created.

I created this LO for the February Mood Board challenge at 

A2Z Scraplets (Top) , Scrap Around The World (Above) and
also Inkido February Challenge (below). At Orange Paperie & Co
it is February the Month Of Love challenge so I have included it
here also.

 

I loved the hearts on both of them for this photo of the two of us.

I have used white cardstock for my background and sprayed it with

Mister Huey's Color Mist - Pretty Pink. While the ink was running I

dabbed it with a tissue and then dabbed the tissue all over the cardstock.

The patterned papers are from Kaiser Craft - Loire Valley Collection.

The paper doily I inked with Versa Color Ink - Cardinal. I then inked 

the edge with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Gathered Twigs. The heart chippie

is from Scraptopia and I inked it with Cardinal and then when it was dry 

I covered it with Glossy Accents. The boarder was fussy cut from the 

patterned papers keeping the floral edge attached and fussy cut also.

The You & Me chippie is from Scraptopia and I used the same method 

with the ink and Glossy Accents. With the patterned papers I inked the

edges with the Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Gathered Twigs. The bird I fussy

cut from the patterned papers. 

This heart from Scraptopia I used the Cardinal ink but instead of 

Glossy Accents I used Tim Holts Distress Crackle Paint - Clear 

Rock Candy. The word love is also from Scraptopia and I used 

the same method as the others. The round tag I fut from the papers 

and inked the edge. The flowers were fussy cut from the patterned 

papers.

We Are Family

Welcome to my blog as always. I hope that all those who 

live in Victoria have been enjoying the cooler weather. I 

know that I have. I will be posting a few LO tonight that

I have done over the last couple of weeks. I have been 

spending as much time at the scrap desk as I can. It helps 

to keep my mind busy with all that has been happening

with my Mum. 

This LO I have created for the challenge at Berry71bleu  

and I had so much fun doing it. Mixed media, an area I 

have just started to dabble in and find it a lot of fun. I still

like my other work so much, but to do mixed media as well

is exciting to do. 

I also combined it with the challenge at Scrap Friends. 

Challenge #22 is a color one and it also went perfect with

what I had planed for the photo of my girlfriend Mel's two 

children Jack and Meghan.

This is my take of the two challenges. I hope you like it.

I have done the journal on the back of the LO. The chippies are

all from Scraptopia. It is also my DT layout for Kylie at Scraptopia.

Title, lighthouse, anchor, shells, seagull, sea animals, they are all 

from Kylie.

Due to all the different things that I have used on the LO and how 

I have mixed them them together I thought it might be easier if I 

just list them all.The patterned paper (which is the plain blue) is by

American Crafters.

Stencil - TCW Mini Tile

Modelling Paste

Impasto Gel Medium

Copic Pens

Blue Flakes

Mica Flakes

Cotton Twine

American Crafters - POP Micro-beads (Wave and white)

Weipa Calcined Bauxite

Lang Lang 3mm Sand

Netting Strips

Tim Holtz Distress Inks - Frayed Burlap

                                      Peeled Paint

                                            Aged Mahogany

                                     Walnut Stain

                                   Fired Brick

I hope you like my LO and please let me know what you think.

All your comments mean so much to me. If you get a chance hop

over to Berry71bleu and also Scrap Friends and join in the fun 

like I did. Both are great challenges whether you combine them 

or do them individually.

Just Have Fun

Hello everyone and once again welcome to my blog.

The LO I have to show you is my February DT layout 

for Let's Capture Our Memories.

I also did some combining and incorporated the sketch
at Stuck?! For the February 15th challenge.

I loved doing this Lo, I think it was because I could 

remember the day I took these photos like it was only

yesterday. While I was having coffee with my mum 

Riley was in the his bedroom playing. when he come 

out he had made his own crown and goatee. He had

 taken a sheet that mum had cut down and pegged it onto

his shirt. He found his Great Grandma's walking stick 

and placed and R on it. He then come to the lounge room

with the biggest smile on his face.

"Mum, Grandma, I'm now a KING so you's can call me

King Riley, ok".

I replied... "Ok King Riley, just hold it while I take your picture".

"Mum that's ok but you have to bow. Remember I'm a king".

 He was so cute. Days like that I just love. Mum and I talked about

it for so long. 

The patterned papers I have used are by Authentique - "Friendship".

The red is Kaiser Craft which I used my journal pen and stitched the

edges of it. I used Liquid Pearls - Ruby Red to place dots on the edge

of one of the back ground papers. The chicken wire is from 

Twiddley Bitz.

The title and arrow chippies are from Scraptopia and I inked them 

with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Fired Brick. I then placed Tim Holtz

Distress Crackle Paint - Clear over the top. when that was dry I 

rubbed a little white Kaiser paint over it and then wiped it off to 

leave it in the cracks.  The tags out the side of the photo were cut

from the Authentique papers.

The tag I hand made from the patterned papers. Both the crowns 

on the LO are from Scraptopia. I used my Copic pens to color the

crown and then Kindy Glitz in the red and gold over the top.

I hope you have liked my take on the sketch from the challenge at 

Let's Capture Our Memories and please hope on over and join in the fun.

The best bit about this LO was when I finished it and the boys had a 

look as they always do Harley said, "That's great mum". Riley looked 

and put the biggest smile on his face and said, "I remember that day Mum.

It was fun. I made you and Grandma bow because I was a king". xx

Happy Birthday

Another card for the challenge #109 This Is A Mans World

 at Crafty Card Makers and More

Again I have made this card from my scrap bag. It is a simple

card but still a lot of fun to make while using up the scraps.

The stamp I used is from Stampin`Up. I love this stamp of the 

old ute. It fits right in with our life on the farm. My boys both

thought it was a good gone for their dad.

Well that's it for the craft bag for a little while. I hope you like this 

card too. Don't forget to join in the challenge.

Happy Crafting and remember the scrap bag :) :)

Happy Birthday

Hello crafty friends. In the little bit of time I have had in 

the last couple of weeks I was able to get this card made

from my scrap bag. I love digging into it and finding a bit

of this and a bit of that to create something. 

I hope you like this card I made for the Challenge at

Crafty Card Makers and More

For this challenge the card had to be male. Challenge #109

This Is A Mans World was all about the guys :)

I have used my journal pen to stitch around the edge after

I used Kaiser Crafts Brown ink. All my papers were just pieces 

from the scrap box so I can no longer tell you who they are from.

The cars I have fussy cut from the patterned paper I have used

in the back ground. I love to embellish my papers this way as they

always match in real well. Plus I love to fussy cut. :)

Lets hope my dad likes the card for his Birthday this year.

If you like to do male cards hope over to do the challenge at

Crafty Card Makers and More.

Growing Up

Hello everyone and welcome once again to my blog. 

I loved doing this LO for my DT post at Scrapbookit.

I had a great sketch to work with. I'm sorry I'm a little

slow with this post due to personal issues. 

This is the sketch and please go to Scrapbookit and join 

in this months challenge. 

Now for my take on the sketch. As you can see

I chose to flip the sketch over. 

This kit is from Fancy Pants Designs. Its the Collecting Moments kit 

and it comes with 12 double sided 12x12 patterned papers, Label 

sticker sheet, Tape sticker sheet, Fundamentals sticker sheet, Alpha 

sticker sheet and also a 12x12 Navy and Grey corrugated sheet.

The flowers are from Manor House and the buds are Kaiser and I have 

used some green Kaiser paint on the ends just to blend them in a little 

more with the papers. The leaves have been cut from a die and I inked 

the edges lightly with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain. The clock

and butterfly chippie are both from Kaiser Craft. The dots from the 

butterfly are Ranger Perfect Pearls.

The birdbath is Twiddleybitz and I have painted with Kaiser 

Cream and the grass with Green. I then applied Ranger -

Distress Crackle Paint. The title is Black Thickers.

 

I made my journal tag from an embossing die and lightly inked 

the edge so the embossing would stand out more. The rub-on is also

from Kaiser Craft. The bingo cards behind my baby picture I have cut

from on of the 12x12 patterned papers.

LikeI said at the start of my post, I'm a little late with posting
this. I do like to get my posts up just after they go live on the
blog I DT for. This one was out of my control. I have you have
enjoyed it and I would love you to leave me a comment and say
what you think.

Until my next post, Happy Crafting and remember to always tell
your family and friends how much you love them.

Hugs xxx

That's My Dad

Welcome as always to my blog ladies. I know that some of you

have been experiencing some very hot weather like myself and

other some extremely cold weather. I think either is a reason to

hit the scrap room and hide in there. 

The Lo I'm showing you today is my DT layout for Let's Capture

Our Memories. I loved this sketch and so much fun using my 

Kaiser  papers to create it.

This is the sketch. You have plenty of time to pop over to the LCOM

blog and join in all the fun. You will then be in the running for a 

wonderful prize of an assortment of embellishments from the 

Bo Bunny's Love Letter Collection.

I hope you like what I have come up with and you get well and 

truly inspired. 

The papers I have used are from the kaiser Craft - Technologic Collection.

They are great papers for boy pages. Especially little boys in this case.

As you all know I just love fussy cutting and with these robot patterened

papers how could I resist getting my cutting blade out. The two orange and

two green robots have been fussy cut. The cogs are from Scraptopia.

The robot chippie and the title are also designed and created by Scraptopia.

I have colored them all with my Copic E15 Dark Suntan pen. The color on

the chippie worked in real well with the papers.

I used Twiddleybitz bricks stencil with modelling paste. Once dry I lightly 

used a sponge to ink them with Stampin' Up - Certainly Celery and Versa

Color - 154 Bark & 13 Orange. Behind my tags and title I placed some 

hessian. I used a permanent black medium marker to create a boarder and a 

fine point to write on my tag. To ink the edges of the torn paper I used Tim

Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain.
