Time flies when you are having fun!

Hello everyone i hope you are all keeping well! It feels like forever since i was on here. I have been super busy with so much happening lately, mostly helping out at my daughters school. I have had a little time to scrap here and there but then i keep forgetting to post. Just a quick share starting off with my page i did using the Prima BAP for August. I had so much fun using some of my new Prima i got the other week. It all went so beautifully with the photo i took of my baby the other day. We had a small little photo shoot in the backyard at her request. She truly is a beautiful little thing.

 

 

Here is this months sketch. As you can see i flipped it and modified it a little. 

 

 

 

 

 

I also managed to scrap the last two palettes over at The Color Room. I had alot of fun with both. I got a little artsy with Palette # 124 and had so much fun flicking paint and Glimmermist at my page( NB a job for outdoors)  and even stepped out of my comfort zone and embraced some white space for Palette # 125. I have used buttons on both pages as i recently purchased a kit from Sandra that came with a great big bag of buttons. I have even stitched them on my pages which is definately something i do not do often but i am trying out different things and ways to attach stuff to my pages but mostly trying to not be a lazy scrapper, lol  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay so that is it from me for now i am off to pack. We are heading down south for a long weekend to pick up our newest member of the family. I will post some photos when we get back and we have decided on a name. TFL! Take care!

 

OUAS August Challenge

So this months challenge is definately a good one. I had loads of fun creating and honestly didn't know where i was going with it at all. I just picked a season, Summer, and started with a piece of cardstock. Summer always inspires me to think of bright, happy and fun times. I chose a heap of papers from my scraps and a heap of ribbons and sewed them all on. My next step was a little texture paste and my Prima 12x12 mask then some Glimmermist and some alcohol ink splashed around. Then it was onto what photo, so many photos to choose but i settled for the ones of my youngest enjoying her "slip and slide", the expression on her face says it all. Loads of layering and happy things that say Summer to me. I also creatd a pocket and my own tag to tuck away my journalling. My journalling reads "Summer, hands down, is definately Ambers' favourite season. To her Summer means slip and slides, playing under the sprinkler, going to the beach, air conditioning, icy poles and just simply having fun outside all day!"  So now my page.

 

 

My tag hidden in the pocket behind my photo..

Just another photo of my whole tag i added some ribbon and a little punched border at the bottom.



SO here is the challenge for over at OUAS.

Theme: Season (Summer, Autumn,Winter, Spring)

We would like you to create a layout and interpret the theme "Season" however you like based on the following sketch. You can journal as little or as much as you like, but your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch below. Please make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and please tell us where your journalling is . Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.

Ideas for journalling: current season in your part of the world, favourite season, seasonal traditions on your part of the word, a childhood memory, a summer romance, what summer/autumn/winter/spring brings for you, baby it's cold outside, summer loving, spring is in the air, autumn breeze, summer holidays, seasonal changes, etc etc. Anything goes ..

So that is it for me. TFL!

A few shares!

Hi guys just sharing another couple of warped pages( from all the liquid mediums i have used, lol) which both completely had a mind of there own. I love doing a page and not really knowing how it is going to turn out. The first page was for Show Us Your Stuff. We were to use this picture as our inspiration.

So armed with a piece of white cardstock and a camera stamp i decided to create my own background. I stamped my background with a few of the cameras and using clear embossing powder i embossed them then covered my page with Tim Holtz Vintage Ink. Both my girls are wearing different colours so i wanted to add these so i splashed on some blue watered down paint and some Glimmermist then proceeded to spray the page completely in water. This made all the colours morph together to create a watercolour type effect. I love this photo of my girls taken whilst on the Ferris Wheel, the last ride for the evening as it was getting cold and we had already been at the show for 8 hours! So here is my page.

The other page i want to share is with the new case for CSI. I stayed up probably a little later than i should of but i just couldn't stop until it was finished. I used some new Prima on my page and had so much fun misting and inking it all up. Here is the case which only just went up.

To help crack the case i used liquid medium, something shiny, a white background, bricks and metal as well as triangles.

Tucked behind my photo i created a pocket with my journaling on it. It was inspired by the inspiration words and placed on journaling strips

Okay so that is it from me i am all shared out, lol. TFL! Until next time keep scrapping :)

Some shares!

Hi guys just popping by to share a few pages i created. The first one is using this weeks palette over at The Color Room. Wow this was a tricky palette for me this week. I mean i love the raspberry pink part but with pool blue and leafy green i was not sure at all. However once i started i just could not stop. I made all the flowers myself using my flower punch whilst sitting and watching Winners and Losers, i have used a few Prima chipboard stickers and i am classing the lace as ribbon. I have had some Cricut Colors in my stash for a long time and decided to use them, so i did a birdcage. Because it looked so flat i decided to add some lace to it as well. I was roughly inspired by the sketch too but altered it to one photo and used some embellies instead of other photos. I also added a bit of white throughout to try to stop the green being so stark. So here is this weeks palette and sketch.

Here is my page i am probably about 95% happy with how it turned out, just not sure about the green.



A few little close ups of my flowers coated with some Gesso and Kindyglitz

A close up of that birdcage, as well as my stamped leaves and more flowers.



The second page i created was for this weeks case file over at CSI: Color, Stories, Inspiration. I had so much fun with this one. I managed to use some of my stash as well as a few new things and some shells from our trips to the beach. Here is this weeks case file.

The evidence i used was wet medium(texture paste and Glimmermist), something grainy(real sand), vellum, dots, round or soften edges. My testimony was documenting a trip to the beach as well as document a transformation which was my daughters change in attitude towards the beach. My journalling reads "You haven't always loved the beach. In fact the first time i took you, when you were 6 months old, you cried when you touched the sand and cried even more when i washed you in the sea. I am glad  you have come around to the beach and these days I can't stop your jump right in approach. On this day we went withyour best mate, Taylor, and the pair of you had so much fun together. You both would run at the sea as fast as you could but stop at the water's edge not quite game enough to go any further. Such happy fun times!" Here is my page.

 Just a little close up.

So that is it from me for now I am off to continue my motherly duties and it is almost that time of day to pick my daughter up from school. TFL! 





Just for the fun of creating!!

Hi guys hope you are all finding time to scrap. I have been so flat out lately with the usual and spent all day yesterday baking and cooking for the weeks lunches. Lots of yummy muffins and cakes as well as a scrumptious quiche all cut and ready to just pop out of the freezer to go. I am also still getting over the drama from last weeks Grey's Anatomy and last nights Home and Away, lol. I am a major T.V. drama nut! However i have also made an effort to scrap something just for the sake of creating and i tell you i had so much fun and got a little clucky!!! I started this page the other night while watching Alice in Wonderland. I have always loved this book and am so happy Tim Burton did a remake, my two favs together. Honestly i do not know how many times i have read the Lewis Carroll book, my parents still have it in their bookshelf from when i was a girl. I pulled out my range of Kaisercraft papers and forced myself to use them, you see i am a long time fan and collector just not a user lol. I had no idea what i was going to do. I even used some of those embellies i said i cut with my Cricut, the vines and the little birdcage. Everyday i have added a little here and a little there and just now i added my journalling and i think it is complete. It is a page of my oldest darling daughter over 8 years ago, so sweet and innocent and beautiful. I miss this look so much, when you are their whole world and nothing else matters.

Okay so that is it from me i am off to have a play with all my new Prima i just picked up from the postie. I tell you i was like a pig in mud carrying it and pretty much ran inside as fast as i could to open it, lol. Have fun creating! TFL!

BITW - "REACH"

Hello everyone today i would like to share a page i did last night for over at Bird Is The Word. Remember how i said i was going to scrap alot, well i wouldn't say it was too successful however i have started a few of my CT pages for WW1 so i guess it was'nt all in vain. I stared at my desk alot yesterday and last night i watched most of The Tooth Fairy, some of Joe Black and was onto Sleepers before i had really had much progress. One page i did manage to finally finish was the one i am about to share. It started out completely different and morphed into what you see. I started with a piece of Kraft and added some texture paste as well as alot of black paint swirls but then i decided to add some tissue paper with Modge Podge and i just kept going until it was all over the page. So now my page has a beautiful glossy finish to it. I am still in use it up mode and i had some of the Heidi Swapp paint still in my stash and decided to swipe that over my Prima mask, added some of those pre-cut embellies i did with the cricut, stamped a little and layered it all up. Finally i added my quote which reads "If I could REACH up and hold a star for every time you've made me smile, the entire evening sky would be in the palm of my hand". So here is my page.

Okay so that is it until next time. TFL. I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend  :)

Case File # 31 for CSI

Hello bloggers i hope you have had a wonderful start to your weekend! This morning i  have been busy doing a few little things. I once again have pulled out my Cricut from retirement and armed with some scraps i have cut a few things out in prep for a few pages i hope to scrap this weekend. So just quickly before i go and scrap i just wanted to share with you a page i have finished using Case file # 31 over at CSI: Color,Stories,Inspiration. I just loved the palette this week, such a bright one. It took me a little bit to finish it though as i just couldn't stop adding. I even managed to use my Prima butterflies that i have been hoarding for sometime now but i figured with all the new ranges of Prima currently making its way to my house it was time to use some of my stash up. I scrapped a photo taken from a weekend trip to Cape Hillsborough last year. We had so much fun bushwalking, stalking the kangaroos, playing on the beach and just hanging out. So here is my page.

 

Here is the case i worked with. They really are alot of fun and can sometimes be a challenge.

Okay so i am off to scrap some more and will be back to share what i create, fingers crossed i get something done. TFL!
