Cartwheels

This pic is over a year old but the Kaiser Bundle of Joy range papers were sooo beautiful and blue I had to scrap a blue photo. THEN when I got my new tape from Sawyers Place it all fell into place.

I used 2 piece of the stork paper on thee reverse side.  I distressed both pieces and then layered them.


Some Heidi Swap words  were PERFECT for this page.


Can you see the new flair buttons from Sawyers Place as well?? I am loving all the flair buttons :)  The Cromwell tape is like a Dymo tape so I cut out the words I thought suited my layout .


Little bit of misting and here it is

My Girls

Today ANOTHER of the photos taken by the very talented Angie Delarie but this time its of our STUNNING girls (ok slight bias there).


A bit of distressing, some lace that I sprayed with Perfect Pearls mist, some die cutting and a chippy word.  I inked and then putt Utee on the top.  The little flag like die cut is embossed and then I rubbed some metallic wax over it..Simple but just enough to make it pop. A couple of Metal embells that I painted and a Prima Vine.

 

 

 

 

Love my 2 girls and LOVE how this layout has turned out.

 

 

Thank you for stopping by ..Hope you have time to be creative

 



Yesterday Today and Tomorrow

Been a while since I have done a blog post :(

I have been sooo busy....I breed Ragdoll and Persian cats and have a few litters on the ground at the moment. Busy making sure they are wonderful healthy babies.

I have been crocheting lots of baby hats and gave some to a lady who does photography. and that got me thinking. we have NEVER had professional photos done as a family so I booked in a few weeks ago.

The photos are beautiful, especially of our girls, and I got them back on the day I was doing a twelve hour crop SOOOO had to scrap a couple.

This first one if of hubby and I and really the chipboard title sparked the whole lay out.

I painted it with Lumiere paints ..then used Stayzon to ink a design over it and then....swiped Tim Holtz rusty hinge over it.  The photos DO NOT do it justice.  I just LOVE how it turned out. It looks sooo antique.

 

 

 

I made some yummy fabric flowers. There are some Artisan by Pink Paislee embels. A flair button from Sawyers Place.

 

 

I love this pic of the 2 of us ..Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow.

 

 

I have a few more to share over the next fed days to catch up on all that I have been doing, so pop in and check them out.

 

Thankyou for stopping by.

LOVE THIS

On the weekend I attended my FIRST EVER scrapbooking retreat.  I had a great time..Cant say I was very productive.  I am afraid I took way tooooo much stuff and it took me too long top find thing every time I needed something.

I wanted to scrap this pic of hubby and myslef.

I used the reverse side of a piece from the Authentique range LOVELY and the paper was called "Amour".  I used some texture past to make a wonderful scroll in the left corner.  I added glimmer mists to that to get the right effect.

I cut out a banner using the wonderful washi tape GOLD SCRIPT..here is the link to this product

I MADE some flowers with material that was very kindly given to me and I have to tell you I am addicted to making these at the moment!!!

Cut out the words LOVE THIS from my Cromwell Washi tape  http://sawyersplace.bigcartel.com/product/cromwell-black-text-japanese-masking-smash-tissue-tape-10mm-x-10m and I have to say I just love that little piece on my page.


A few charms and here you go

Summer Brights

I recently got my latest DT pack from Sawyers Place..the AWESOME new Summer Brights.

As soon as I opened them I knew what photos I had to use.  I have already scrapped one but HAD to use these pics.

Christmas day My Brother and Sister In Law put up this GIANT water slide..which proved fun for children and ADULTS (LOL).

This is a pic of my friends son..LOVE his face in this.

 

 

The summer brights were just perfect.  I used my new banner die in different sizes . I think they were the perfect addition to this layout.

Head over to http://www.sawyersplace.bigcartel.com and check out all the washi tapes available.

I have a few more Layouts and a couple of OTP to share with you.....So I will get my camera out and start sanpping.

A NEW BLOG STYLE and AN OTP PROJECT

WELL....welcome to my new style blog.. Its had a little makeover THANKS to the lovely MARCIA :)

Do you like it I do..I told her PINK PINK PINK LOL

SOOOO I want to share with you an BRAND new KAISERCRAFT Off the Page piece that I did for my DT at SCRAPBOOKS FROM THE HEART.

As soon as I saw this I KNEW i wanted the heart to be a shaker box ..I wasnt really sure what to with the rest.

I used texture paste to get the WONDERFUL texture onthe side..Painted it then wahed it with another caolour and then put a metallic wax all over it..I Could not be any happier with the effect this has given.

 

 

 

The Heart is a collections heart...I covered it in Calico..stamped the saying onto the calico and then coverd that in cheese cloth.

 

Then set that inside the heart ..used acetate as the frame. Seed beads to make it the shaker box and...there you have it. I LOVE IT...infact might even make another.

Here are some close ups



 

 

Thankyou for taking a look.Hope you like the new blog as much as i do. Until next time..HAPPY creating

 

A kind of Beautiful

Today I want to share with you a special canvas I made for a special friend of mine.....

She always Jokes about Beauty so I had to go looking for just the right Phrase to use on it.  With the help of another friend we found the phrase BE YOUR OWN KIND OF BEAUTIFUL .

I took a plain Canvas and with a bit of texture paste and a Maya Road template I created a textured background.

Some antique white paint, then a metallic pink that I washed over it to collect in the the texture.  I then sprayed some mists over the top to get the right colour.

I decided it needed a heart and wings.  So I covered the Heart with calico and thn cheesecloth.  I sprayed sooo many mists over it to get the colour i wanted.  I embossed the wings and again a Metallic pain in a pink colour.  PINK is her favourite colour. 

I printed the phrase straight onto calico which i placed on some card with some wadding behind it.

Here is the finished product

 

 

Gave it to my friend yesterday and she LOVED it......:)

 

 

Thanks for stopping by.. I hope to get come creating done this weekend so I will have some more to share with you
