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 DT project for September moodboard!

Hi everyone, I'm up on the Scrappingclearly Blog today with my take on this fabulous moodboard!




My layout uses the Crate Paper, Open Book range, and a little touch of Shimelle, Starshine!!! But of course, there's also some Heidi Swapp on there! (Stickers and wood veneer!) There's some Studio Calico wood veneer also!

This is about my daughter's personality and how she makes the most of every moment, either being goofy, singing, dancing, making up funny poems & the list goes on! She is a teenager who challenges me every day, but I love her to bits and hope she never changes!!

I added some watercolour on the background and gave it a few flicks of Heidi Swapp Color Shine & added some subtle embellishments. (Prima flowers, Studio Calico Sequins!)

I finished off with a Gold acetate word from Heidi Swapp, love these!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Scrappingclearly September sketch

Happy Saturday everyone!!! I love being a Design Team member, it opens up so many possibilities and sometimes challenges me to move a little outside my comfort zone and try new things. Well this month's sketch at Scrappingclearly, is designed by me. The first one I have ever done, and I have to say it's a little addictive!! I have lots of experience with layers in Photoshop and thought I would use that. As it turns out, I am exploring the mountains of possibilities within Microsoft Word, and that's where I created this sketch!

Here is my take on the sketch, using the gorgeous Starshine range, by Shimelle and American Crafts.

I love working with a sketch, it makes life so much easier when scrapping. I've cut alot of my embellishments from the patterned papers, there's a few little wood veneers from Studio Calico on there & some Heidi Swapp and Carolees Creations alphas.

Can you notice the shiny Colour Blast Colour Paste stars on there?? I made my own stencil for those, see below!!

Thanks for looking!!!
Have a great day!!!

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 Moodboard

Hi! It's my turn on the Scrappingclearly blog today with my Design Team take on this month's moodboard! I've used the gorgeous, Starshine collection from American Crafts and Shimelle!

Love all the cut outs on these papers, and I actually got this layout done in a few hours, without the need for fussing with too much embellishing. The only other bits I added besides the papers, were some Heidi Swapp & Studio Calico wood veneer, some Heidi Swapp rub ons and a little journaling which I typed and printed from the computer.

A very clean and simple layout don't you think!!! Hope you can find some inspiration from this month's moodboard over at Scrappingclearly! (Click the link to see the great prizes on offer!)

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.
