watercolours

And so the packing and cleaning begins.....Again. hopefully the last time for awhile...we have 2 weeks till settlement and till we move into our new home. I had a bit of a tidy up in my small scrap space yesterday, and found a small bit of time for playing with my water colour pencils again. Teamed my coloured image wirh some Heidi Swapp papers.

Happy, Artsy me!!!

Yep, well, the happy and the mojo have definately returned. We have something to look forward to, a new home and more reasons to get creative. Back at work this week so not alot of time. However, I did manage to play with my new Kaszazz water colour pencils. Let me tell you ...I AM IN LOVE! WOW, The colours are amazing. Here I have used them on canvas paper and they suit this medium perfectly. They are smooth and they blend extremely well. They are vibrant, i want to play all day long!!! Take a look at my art journal page. I've also used Kaszazz stencils and some other brand stamps!!!

2 New layouts for NATIONAL SCRAPBOOK DAY 2014

CAN YOU BELIEVE THERE IS ACTUALLY A national scrapbooking day???? I just loved telling Hubby that I didn't need an excuse to scrapbook this weekend, it was an absolute must!!!!!! I worked on one layout I'm doing for a challenge, and then squeezed in two really quick pages. I'm so happy that I stopped all the thinking and looking for inspiration and just finally sat and did it. I'm hoping this means the mojo is coming back with a vengeance.
It may have something to do with the fact that the "happy" is coming back as we also purchased a house over the weekend!!! YAY TO THAT...
First layout...

I wanted to use lots of Heidi Swapp goodies on this one...So I did. Papers are from her Hello Today range. used Colourshine and the cute little sequin stamp. The only things not Heidi are the seam binding bow, but I did recolour it with Georgia Peach Colourshine, and the cardstock which are both from Kaszazz.
I was following along with Big Picture Classes this weekend as they were hoping to upload  10 000 layouts!!!! So much inspiration on their Instagram feed!!!

I enjoy scrapping in 8 1/2 x 11", and it's been awhile, so for a quick page, I threw this one together with some Amy Tangerine Papers and tags, Dear Lizzy tags, Kaiser stamps, Washi tape and Kaszazz butterfly stamp coloured with Alcohol Ink Art markers. I picked up a few cute little punches when we were in Adelaide at Christmas, love this little love heart one.
It feels good to get a few pages done!!! TFL..
