Wonderful YOU - Canvas

Welcome crafty friends. I would like to share with you my DT post for A2Z Scraplets and you can find it today on the A2Z blog along with more inspiration from the Design Team.

I created the background on Saturday at a class held by Rhonda Crawford and when I got home I finished my canvas off.

You can find the frame chippie and word title in the A2Z Scraplets Store. 

The beautiful young lady (about 15 yrs old) would grown into the most amazing and wonderful lady -  My Mother - Helen. Boy was she a stunner. 

Now for some closeups.

For details on how I did both the chippies they can be found over at A2Z Scraplets Blog. 

 

Thanks so much for popping in. I hope you like my canvas and I have been able to inspire you a little and that your creative mojo flows.

Door Knob Hanger

Hello crafty friends and welcome to My Blog and my post using the beautiful French Chic Artist Pk 2 patterned papers from the Meg's Garden Store. They are stunning papers and I have used the card paper pack. They are great for cards, scrapbooking pages and even door hangers. This door hanger has been made for a friend of mines daughter. They have just moved into a new home and I'm sure she will love it on her door even though it doesn't say keep out  :)

To start I used a timber door hanger and painted the edges with a dark mauve acrylic paint, then glued the patterned paper to it. Once this was done I then used a  Butterfly stamp and placed some butterflies here and there. I also used a brown ink on the edges lightly. I punched out a boarder strip, inked the edge and I placed it across where I had a join in the patterned papers.   

I used the same brown ink to ink the edge of the white doily. From the patterned paper I punched out a large circle and then inked the edge of this too. Once inked I glued it to the middle of the doily and then glued the doily to the hanger. Then glued a string of pearls around the punched out circle. Once these were glued I then placed one Carabella Rose Posy flower on one edge. Around that I then placed some of the small white paper flowers and a small pale pink rose and one mini white rose bud to hang down. The leaves are 2.5cm rose leaves and they come in a 10 pk which is just great.

Finally it was time to place Ebony's name on it and then a  lovely pink ribbon. I then chose a different patterned paper in the collection and punched out two different sizes of butterflies, put a very small amount of ink on them and the glued then on here and there. 

I hope you have enjoyed looking at my door knob hanger and please remember that there are so many products for you to create with in the Meg's Garden Store. If you are like me I know you will have trouble working out what ones you like the most. Everything is so beautiful.

Thank you so much for stopping in and please hop on over to Meg's Garden Blog and see what the other very talents Design Team have been creating.

A4 folder front - Class Notes

I had a bit of a play the other day with an A4 plastic pocket. I use them to place the notes from classes I go to in and I thought it looked boring even though I do love purple. So I made this front on cardstock to put on it. 

Dylusions Paint, Paint Pens and Stencils is all I used. 

Now for some closeups. 

Thanks for popping in and please leave a message, I like knowing what people think. 

Enjoy your week. xxx

Welcome to my blog and my DT post for Let's Get Sketchy first February Challenge and what a great sketch we have for you this month. 

And now for my take on it. The photo was taken last year of my two amazing sons after they had marched for the school on Anzac Day. There was a brick wall painted grey going back to the car and I took the opportunity to get some photos. They were great normal photos to begin with and then the fun began with laughter and cheeky faces. At least in this one they were standing still.

I have created the page on white cardstock and also the piece behind the photo is on white cardstock with paints. The other things I have used are stamps, stencils and a journal pen. 

Now for some closeups. 

I hope I have inspired you just a little and that you come and join in with us, we would love to see your take on the sketch challenge.

You Light Up My Life

Hello and a big welcome to my blog. Today I would like to share with you my DT Challenge post for A2Z Scraplets. I really enjoyed doing this challenge being the month of love with Valentines Day. What better photo could I use than one of my son Riley and his girlfriend Hannah. I must admit it is beautiful to watch their young love getting to know each other. 

Now its time for the challenge and my take on it. 

I have used two fantastic chippies from the A2Z store and there are so many different ones to choose from so hope on over and check it out. 

I created my page on  Kaisercraft patterned paper and the flowers are by 49 & Market.

The photo is mounted on black cardstock and I have gone around it with a paint pen. 

I painted both A2Z Chippies with red paint and on the solid hearts I then went over the paint with a Wink Of Stella brush - Clear (This give it a nice sparkle. Once this was dry I went around the hearts with my white paint pen. 

 

 Behind everything I used Tim Holtz idea-ology tissue paper. With I star stencil I randomly placed stars with a black paint pen and then once dry I again used my white paint pen but this time to do a star line inside the black stars. Finally around the top and bottom of the tissue paper I used my black journal pen and wrote a little bit about Riley and Hannah. 

Thanks for stopping in today to have a look at my latest blog post and please leave some love, I like knowing what you think.I hope I have inspired you to come on over to the A2Z Scraplets Facebook page and join in this months challenge with us.
