Total silliness!!

Hi all, today I'm sharing my latest Design Team layout for Scrappingclearly! This one is based on this month's sketch, which is here:

I really love a sketch, and this one was really cool and nice and simple, not too many layers. It meant that I could have some fun on my background with some mixed media products.

I have a few of those cute little Heidi Swapp stencils, the one used was the Heidi Swapp circle stencil and I added some gorgeous Prima Art Alchemy paint in Opal Magic!!! This is a beautiful paint!!!!  You can see how sometimes the circles look blue, and if you hold the paper in a different spot, under the light, it looks gold! I also have some Dylusions Mica sprays on my desk, so sprayed some Vibrant Turquiose over the top. So shiny!!! It is really hard to pick it up in the photo! You can sort of see it below!

I then did some stamping, and added some patterned papers by Chickaniddy, and this gorgeous Maggie Holmes black and gold piece. (It's actually vellum!)  The chevron stamps were made with a coupe of Glitz Design, roller stamps, I sooooo love them!!! I used my Kaszazz, die cutting machine to cut the circles.

For my title, I used Heidi Swapp puffy word stickers and a Heidi Swapp water colour word, which I painted with Dylusions paint and watered it down. I placed a layer of Glossy accents over the top to make it pop!

I'm quite happy with this layout!!! Love all the shininess!!! TFL!

Scrappingclearly December Moodboard

I managed to whip up some cards for the Scrappingclearly moodboard this month. What a gorgeous board it is!





These cards are made using Kaszazz card blanks, and papers & embellies from Scrappingclearly! (Pink Paislee, Maggie Holmes and Chickaniddy.)

I love the gold embellies from the C'est La Vie ephemera pack! There's also a few touches of Heidi Swapp on there. (The gold acetate word above, the lace below.)

Hope you like my cards!

My DT take on the Scrappingclearly October sketch

Hi again, I can't believe that it's October, just so scary how fast these months are flying by. Oh well, at least there are always lots of scrappy challenges to keep my crafty mojo happy. I love being part of a Design Team, and at Scrappingclearly, we now have a sketch and a moodboard each month, which really does help inspire me for my DT samples.
So here is the sketch this month:




And here is my layout! I was even inspired by the colours in the sketch this month!

The background paper was already awesomly coloured, but to add a little more, I blended some Distress inks, made some Distress Stain spots and did a little stamping with stamps from Kaszazz, Heidi Swapp and Urban Crafter.
I've used papers & ephemera by Pink Paislee, Washi stickers from Heidi Swapp and Maggie Holmes and Crate Paper, & a fabulous chipboard piece from 2 Crafty! (Just love these large acetate numbers from the Pink Paislee, Cest La Vie range!)

My title alphas are from American Crafts and Amy Tangerine, (have been waiting for the right project to use these on!!!) The sparkly pink hashtag is from a pack of Heidi Swapp alphas from Scrappingclearly, and the cute little bow is from Crate Paper and Maggie Holmes.

I'm glad I've got this photo scrapped, another piece of my daughter's life, she loved her dancing when she was little, I so wish she would get back into it now!

Cute card set for Scrappingclearly

Hi all, I'm up on the Scrappingclearly blog today, sharing this cute set of cards, using Maggie Holmes, Open Book and Shimelle, Starshine ranges! I am getting my mileage out of these papers, love them!

I've done some fussy cutting, and that was the most time consuming part of these, overall, they were a very quick and simple set to make, thanks to the gorgeous cut outs in the papers!

All I needed to add was a few sentiment stamps, some Heidi Swapp alpha stickers and a cute wood veneer from Studio Calico!

Hope you like them!!!

TFL....

Scrappingclearly DT post August 2016

Hi all! Today I'm sharing my 3rd Scrappingclearly post for August!!! I can't believe it's nearly the end of the month!!! I'm really happy with this layout, featuring my two beautiful kids from 8 years ago!!! they look so tiny!!!

My inspiration for this layout came from a class with Nicole Nowosad, over at Big Picture Classes!! I've been a member with them for quite a few years now, and their new website and classes are just amazing. For a small monthly fee, you have access to as many classes as you can do, and they are constantly coming up with new ones. Take a look if you haven't done before!!! 

I even broke out the sewing machine for this one...OMG..It's been awhile! Must be the new desk Hubby built me, more space, and using more things because I can!!!!

There's lots of layers behind my photo and I wanted it to pop off the page, so instead of going mad with the magic mount, I remembered a tip I learned a long time ago, and cut a large square of chipboard and taped that to the back instead! I've popped some vellum between the layers, to soften the mix of patterned papers a little. I've used the gorgeous Shimelle, Starshine and Maggie Holmes Open Book collections!

My embellishments: wood veneers by Studio Calico, Kaisercraft die cut push bike and a few flicks of Heidi Swapp Colorshine in navy. All other cut outs are from the Starshine papers!!! Love!

And there you have it!! A very colourful mix of Tertiary coloured patterned papers!!! Somehow, I think that it all works. Hope you like!

Scrappingclearly August sketch, Design Team layout

Today I'm sharing my DT take on the Scrappingclearly August sketch. This one is another created by fellow DT member, Chloe. I totally love her sketches!! This one looks like this:



My new Design Team kit consists of Maggie Holmes, Open Book and Shimelle Starshine this month, soooo many gorgeous papers and embellies. I've used mainly the Open Book and a touch of Maggie Holmes Bloom, and a few fussy cut flowers from one of the Shimelle papers. If you visit the Scrappingclearly Blog, I have a detailed description of all the other products used!!!!

Scrappingclearly July moodboard inspiration

Hi everyone, just sharing my Design Team take on this month's moodboard over at Scrappingclearly. Did you know they have 2 challenges per month now, a sketch and moodboard! Totally cool, the inspiration is great! Here is the wintery, warm inspiration for you:



I really went for it with Gold, for this layout, I knew the perfect papers and accessories I had in my collection of DT goodies would be perfect for this layout of my beautiful boy. Can't believe this was 10 years ago, really, where on earth do the years go???

I have been working with the Maggie Holmes, Bloom range and the Dear Lizzy, Happy Place collection. I just love the gold foil vellum from the Bloom collection. I also have quite a bit of product left from the Teresa Collins Life Emporium range. (The chipboard stickers, & wood dots you can see below.)

There's also some Heidi Swapp product on there, of course, and a doily and some of those really cool glitter dots which just keep going! (Yes, best $2 shop find ever!) Had to finish off with some of the Gold Foil Thickers, which are so shiny, love them!!! If you would like to know a few more details or find out where you can get most of the products I have used, there is a link to the Scrappingclearly blog above, my post on the blog will link you straight to them!

Thanks for visiting, see you next time!

Scrappingclearly July sketch DT entry.

Hi all, today I'm sharing my take on our own DT member, Chloe's awesome sketch! I'm up on the blog today with my interpretation! Here is the sketch:



And here's my layout using a mix of the fabbo Maggie Holmes Bloom and Dear Lizzy Happy Place papers and embellishments. (All can be found in the Scrappingclearly store!)

From my own stash I've used some Francheville enamel dots, a chippy title I have had in my stash forever and a day, can't even tell you who the supplier is :(, and I've painted it with some Ranger Distress Paints and Dylusions paints to get the right colour!

Love this pic of Taylah getting ready to go trick or treating with her friends when we lived in Port Douglas. Brings back lots of happy memories! Thanks for visiting!

Scrappingclearly DT post with a Project Life spread

Hi all, hope you are having a lovely weekend and getting some scrappy fun time in!! Today I am up on the Scrappingclearly Blog with a Project Life spread using the gorgeous Dear Lizzy HAPPY PLACE collection from American Crafts!!!

I don't do alot of PL pages, but these pretty papers with their 6x4" and 3x4" cards really inspired me to do so. Also helps to come across the photos to go with it, and make it all fall into place. There's also some Maggie Holmes Bloom embellishments on there and Heidi Swapp alphas and die cut word for my title! I love the cute little stamp set from the Happy Place range, which is how I made the sunglasses and camera embellies, I just added a touch of Distress Ink with a water brush on them to mimi the hand-cut butterflies from the Maggie Holmes paper.

I made a little transparent pocket with the Dear Lizzy specialty paper and some Studio Calico sequins. I haven't bought myself a fuse tool yet, although I have wanted one for some time, so I closed the pocket together at the top with a little glossy accents which you can't see, that worked a treat.

If you want to find out more of the details, head on over to the Scrappingclearly Blog, where you can also find a link to the shop and links in my post to all the yummy products I have used!
