Scrappingclearly May moodboard

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing my Design Team post over at Scrappingclearly, with some cards for the May moodboard. I used the Atlas Collection papers from Pink Paislee, which I really love!!! Here is the moodboard!





I love the Autumn colours this month, and these papers just worked perfectly!!!

The papers have a cool shipping tag design, so I cut some pieces out and made my own tags, with the Stampin Up tag punch, some eyelets, which I've had in my stash for years!!! (Win!) Then I used some twine which was a FREEBIE with the Scrapbooking Memories mag, a few years back! All cardstock is from Kaszazz, and the washi tape is from Teresa Collins.

For my '50' card, (all my friends are turning 50 this year!!) I used the Atlas papers as a background, and then stamped a Kaszazz water skiier image, and white embossed on black card. Then broke out the Distress Oxide inks, which I am playing with a bit lately!! I was aiming for the impression of water, waves or droplets, and I think it worked reasonable well! I flicked some Dylusions spray and mica sprays on top and it looks very shiny in the light!

The alphas are from Amy Tangerine!
Hope you can find time to visit over at SC and play along with the challenges this month. TFL!!!

Easter Cards for Scrappingclearly!!

Hi and Happy Easter to you all! I am having a quiet time home with the kids! Hubby has gone camping, and we are just relaxing here together after a very long couple of weeks. I started a new job and have been working 2 jobs, up until my notice finished with my previous employer and I was totally exhausted!!! Some crafting time was much needed! So today I'm up on the Scrappingclearly blog with a Design Team post of some Easter Cards, made using some Fancy Pants- Golden Days papers and embellishments, and some cool Vicki Boutin products!!

I played along with the moodboard this month, which was a mix of Autumn tones!!


 

I used the Art Crayons to colour my bird stamps, and they are great when mixed with water on a craft sheet. I flicked some paint drops onto one of my cards with a paint brush. I also used the Acrylic Paints to add some drops to my cards, the paints by Vicki Boutin are quite thick, love them!

I made a small tag, with some left overs and found a cute little bunny in the Golden Days ephemera pack.

Hope you can check out the moodboard over at Scrappingclearly this month and play along, there's also a sketch challenge to inspire you and you could win a voucher to the store!!!
Enjoy your Easter!!!

Scrappingclearly February sketch

Hi there!!!! I feel like I have been doing well with my blog posting of late, lots of projects to share, hope I can keep up the pace!!!
Today I have a layout for you, LOVE THIS BOY!! What a cutie my little man was, he was about 3 here! (Can't for the life of me find the pic on the computer to tell me the correct date, but I know it's either 2008 or 2009. I'm not going to stress, cause I remember taking the photos and exactly where we were at the time!!!)
This is my last DT project using the Fancy Pants, Golden Days collection for Scrappingclearly!! I have another gorgeous kit, which I can't wait to share with you next month!!!

Apart from the kit, I used some Kaszazz cardstock, Carolee's Creations tiny alphas, Kaszazz & other brand punches, a cut file, (using the negative piece), and some colorbox ink, to swipe around the inner edges of the heart to highlight!!!

Thanks as always for visiting!!!

Scrappingclearly Design Team page

Hi all. Today I'm sharing my latest page for Scrappingclearly, using the gorgeous Golden Days collection by Fancy Pants. I've taken inspiration from this month's moodboard, which is here!!

I am so in love with this collection!!! The layout came together so quickly, everything used is from the collection, I didn't add anything from my stash at all!!! Gotta love that!!! Hope you find time to play along with them this month!!!

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!

Merry Christmas Santa!

Merry Christmas everyone in Blogland!! Hope you have a fun-filled day, with lots of yummy food and Christmas cheer. We will celebrate Jack's 11th birthday this morning, make a fuss, give him his birthday presents and then move onto the Christmas celebrations. We try and make it a big deal for him, as hard as it is sharing your birthday with Christ. This year will be a very quiet little family Christmas for us, and that's ok.

Here is Design Team layout I created for SCRAPPINGCLEARLY, based on the sketch for this month. Here is the sketch:



Here is my layout created using the gorgeous Heidi Swapp Christmas range- Oh What Fun!

There's a little Smooch Spritz ,(silver), behind the photo layers, I have a tiny bit left in the spray bottle and I'm making it last as long as possible!

I did some fussy cutting from the 12x12" papers. (holly) Not my usual forte, but liked the way it turned out.

Finished off with some computer journaling in red, and swiped the edges of the strips with some red chalk ink!
I have so many more Christmas photos that need scrapping, will have to make the most of the rest of these very cute papers.

Scrappingclearly DT post..Favourite photo!

I've had a busy month this month, so many DT projects, Kaszazz projects and sorting through photos, teaching classes and running the home, yada yada, yada...Not sure what I would be doing with my time otherwise, cause I love it!!!

Anyhow, here is my layout for Scrappingclearly! It is titled: Favourite Photo, even though there are a few words going on, on this page, that is what it's called, Lol. And it really was the pick of the bunch to get all 3 looking at the camera! A big bonus to get Sammi dog staring right down the lens of the camera, it was only a split second though!!!

I've used the gorgeous '365' range from Chickaniddy, love it! The extra embellies I used were wood veneer, from Studio Calico, puffy camera sticker from Mambi and wooden word embelly from Teresa Collins! I gave a slight touch of colour to the background page with some gelatos and water, and a flick of some Dylusions spray ink! My journaling is hidden, which I do alot! No secrets with this one, just a fun moment before we gave the dog her 2nd Birthday cake, and we have quite a few out takes with the pics, some of them very scrapworthy...watch this space!!!

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!!!

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!!!!
Here is my layout:

And here's a few close ups for you!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, I hope I've inspired you to play along with their sketch this month!!!! You can upload your link to the SC blog or on their Community Facebook page, for a chance at some great prizes.

Marquee Love Design Team fun

Good morning everyone, hope your Saturday is going to be awesome!! I was so lucky to receive a Marquee Love letter kit for one of my DT projects over at Scrappingclearly this month!!!! After the excitement settled, I then had no idea what to do with it!! Lol. So, of course, I took to Pinterest and looked for some inspiration. I didn't really find any from the actual lights themselves, but I saw another project with a wooden letter covered in wool, and somehow, this sparked an idea in my mind!!!

These lights are easy to work with, they are very light and made from card, so you can paint them, spray ink on them or just cover them in patterned paper! I went for the spray ink option and tried to match the colour's to my daughter's bedroom!

                                                                                   

As you can see, below, I used lots of Heidi Swapp goodies to compliment my letter 'B'. There's Colorshine in 3 different colours, (the yellow was Dylusions ink, as we wanted that to be bright!) There's some cute Heidi Swapp lace ribbon and I used the Marquee Love, gold tape for the edges!

The flowers are Prima sugar blooms, I popped a few on there for decoration with the lace, using an American Crafts clothespin. That way my daughter can remove them if she doesn't want the flowers on there!

I love how quickly, and simply this project came together! What great gifts these make! Hope you like it and TFL!
