Scrapbooking - Hello!

Hi Hi!

I scrapbooked this week, I haven't done anything recently!

I used patterned papers from Kaisercraft and cardstock from Bazzill. I did a bit of inking on the patterned papers, with white ink, and a gold ink spray. I used the Silhouette to cut the main title, and a bunch of embellishments from D-Lish Scraps, including the doilies, flowers and sequins. 

Here is the inspiration board, from D-Lish scraps

I went with the sketch, the peach colours, the feathers and gold hints.

Gorjuss and MFT Stamps - Friendship Card

Hi Hi!

I'm sharing a quick card with you today, one that I made this past weekend 

For this card, I dug out some older stamps, that I haven't coloured in a VERY long time. These are two different Gorjuss Stamps, coloured using my Copic markers, and Spectrum Noir Markers. I layered it up using patterned papers from Simple Stories. I used a doily and the sentiment is from My Favourite Things. I also added some adhesive gel dots. 

Here's the close up

Angry Persian - Some Odd Girl - Just Be Happy!

Hi Guys!
I've been back in the craft room. So here's the card I created -

I used the digital stamp - Angry Persian from Some Odd Girl. I coloured him up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and fussy cut him out. I used patterned papers from My Minds Eye. I used the Print & Cut Feature on my Silhouette, to make the sentiment. I used a paper doily and doodled around the edges of all my papers, and on the kitty.

Some Odd Girl - Wedding Card

Hi guys! I'm back today to share a card that I'll be uploading shortly to my madeit and etsy stores.

Here it is - 

For this card, I used a Baked brown sugar card base, and layered it up with paper from Teresa Collins. I then grabbed some doilies (gold and plain) and layered them up. I coloured the Some Odd Girl First Dance Mae up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I added a gold border to both the card and main image. The final touches were a squin and duo of pearls in opposing corners.

Hello Sunshine - DLish Scraps Inspiration Challenge - Scrapbooking

Hello again! I have a scrapbook page to share with you all today! One of me, and my lovely man.

For this layout, I bought the D-Lish Just Add Paper kit, which I paired with some American Craft frame paper, as well as some Bella Blvd silver embossed black card stock. I also added a couple of paper doilies, and a silver bow, instead of the pink one that came in the kit. 

From the inspiration board, I took my cues from the colour scheme, the frames, sketch and the butterflies.

Here is the collage of close ups -

D-Lish Scraps - Scrapbook Page of Bree

Hiya! I have been busy, buried under assignments, but as a reward for getting two thirds of the way through one, I thought I'd come share a scrapbook layout I made last week, before I went to bed. 

I started out with this gorgeous picture of my little niece, for her scrapbook. I selected patterned paper from Sassfrass Lass and Websters Pages. I used a Sassfrass Lass border sticker to cover the join of the two papers, and added the photo, with another SassLass sticker and a doily. The main embellishments on this page include a large single bloom, a tutu flower, a Prima wood feather, as well as a gold glitter feather (MFT Die-Namic). I've used a couple of flair buttons as well as some resin flowers

Here is the collage and close ups

I used inspiration from this months D-Lish inspiration board, I loved the colours, flowers, feathers, and I've loosely interpreted the sketch.

Some Odd Girl Wishes - Blank Fairy Card

Hi Hi! I spent yesterday in creative heaven, you know, those days where everything just goes right?! Yeah, those ones!

Anyway, I made this card... and apart from a small burn from the hot glue gun, it kind of just fell together! 

For this one, I started with Wishes, which I stamped, and coloured up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I actually stamped her twice, and fussy cut her skin out of the second colouring, just so I could blend her dress, and hair easier, with out worrying about going outside the lines! (please tell me I'm not the only one ;) ) 

I grabbed some paper, from a no - name branded paper pad, and then a gold foil doily, as well as a Large Prima Flower, and some paper, and metal flowers. I fashioned a heart from a small piece of gold coloured wire and popped it in as well. The final touch to Wishes, was adding some glitter to her wings.

Scrapbooking my Selfies

Hey guys! I've been scrapping, because it's almost always guaranteed to get my craft mojo back! I decided I should scrapbook some more of my selfies, and instagram pics... So, did some printing, and this is the page I created - 

 

I wanted to scrapbook the search for the "perfect" going out top... How my best friend and I spent all day, going to different shops, trying to find a top that I could pair with jeans, and go to dinner and drinks in, and still look dressed up. I didn't find anything I loved, which was a bit disappointing, until, the next day, we went to K-Mart to get cardboard for her daughters school assignment, and I spotted this top! It totally fulfils my requirements for the dressy top to wear out! 

On this page, I've used patterned paper from Carte Bella, and Amy Tangerine, from 6x6 paper pads, and a paper doily, I've added a cluster of embellishments, including a Freckled Fawn frame, a Prima Flower, chipboard bird (painted turquoise), Kaisercraft roses and a flair button. On the other side, next to the journalling, I've used a transparency from Maya Road and a sticker from Amy Tangerine. 

Here is my collage of close ups

Scrapbooking my Birthday!

Hello! I've been in a bit of a creative slump recently, nothing has been interesting me. One of my favourite ways to get out of a slump, like that is to grab some photos, and all my pretty embellishments and do a scrapbook page. 

This page features a photo of me, all dressed up and ready to hit the town for my birthday last month. 

I grabbed my photo, and went through my paper stash. The background paper is from Simple Stories, while the rest of it is by Websters Pages. I didn't really have a set colour theme or anything for this photos, as you can tell, it's quite a neutral photo. 

I then went through my stash of embellishments. I used a polaroid frame (wow chipboard) and layered on top of it a big bloom flower, a flair and a bunch of resin roses and pearls. The Title runs up the side of the photo, and is from Jillibean Soup. 

In the opposite corner, I added a prima flower, more resin roses and some paper flowers from D-Lish Scraps. I also found a tiny silver heart and added it in...
Here are a couple of close ups -

Scrapbooking - D-Lish Scraps December Inspiration Board!

Hiya!

I have some exciting news, to share... Amanda, from D-Lish Scraps asked me to be part of the Summer creative team for the Inspiration Board challenges that are set every month at D-Lish

So, this months challenge went live about 2 hours ago... Here is the Inspiration board - 

I started out looking at the inspiration board, and was struck by the butterflies, and the flowers, so they were my main focus. I used patterned paper, from Webster's Pages, and some cream card stock. I added some gold doodling... The pic is from a recent girls night out. 

 I gold embossed a filigree metal butterfly, using Gold Zing embossing powder, I also used a carnation, a mini pvc doily, in cream and some gold metal roses, oh and a heart pin.  

Next to the photo, I've used a gold foil doily ( love these!), a chipboard butterfly, which I've gold embossed as well, another pvc doily, heart pin, carnation and more gold roses, I also added an apricot rhinestone circle for an added touch of bling!

Love how this page came together, in the end, everything just fell into place! 

Don't forget to check out the D-Lish Scraps Just Add Paper Kits (going up this afternoon), to see what is available, to go along with this awesome inspiration board challenge!

Kraftin' Kimmie - Christmas Card, without the Christmas image!

Hi ya! I've been busy at the craft desk, working my way through another custom card order, this one for the current boyfriend, who asked that I make some cards for him to give to his family and boss! Talk about a boost to the confidence! There are still a couple of Christmas cards available in store, so get in before the season is over!

This card, is going to Richard's younger sister... The design brief was simple *rolls eyes* quirky, and a bit OTT.... 

Richard picked out the stamp, I knew for 'quirky' it had to be a Kraftin' Kimmie image! I coloured her up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, using 'Christmas colours' and then fussy cut her out. I built the card, using patterned paper from My Minds Eye (which I flicked some bronze colour shine onto), a gold foil doily, a wood veneer from Kaisercraft and a bunch of roses, a leaf, sentiment (Stampin' Up! Short and Sweet) and bling!

Here's the close up-

D-Lish Scraps - Scrapbook Page - Inspiration Board

Hi Again! I have a scrapbook page to share today, that I worked on today. I have a stash of "selfies" printed up, ready to make scrap pages out of. If you've been following my story, I had weight loss surgery in April this year, I've lost a total of 76kg (167 pounds, in a year) This photo was taken in September, when I was first able to see the changes myself -

I used patterned paper (the kraft one) from Teresa Collins, the stars and flowered ones are off cuts from Echo Park Paper, and are super super old collections! I also used a gold foil doily to fill some space, and the flourish is from Twiddlybitz, which I've covered in white embossing powder.  

In this pic, you can see some paper flowers, a button, a resin rose and a heart pin also, a close up of that delightful foil doily! I also added a small amount of twine, curled in on itself, and a Pink Paislee star.

This corner, near the photo includes the title, made with stickers from My Minds Eye, a flair button and an ampersand die-cut. I added some more twine, paper flowers and Pink Paislee stars. 

I used the D-Lish Scraps Inspiration board as a starting point, using the "nautical" colour scheme, as well as the sketch, but altered it for my own design!

Some Odd Girl - Christmas Card

Hi guys! I finished my assignments the other day! *wooh!* So, now, I just have a couple of exams, and I'm finished with uni for the year! Woohoo! 

So, I sat down and crafted! I pulled out some old stuff, and some new stuff and came up with this -

 

I started out by grabbing a piece of Webster's Pages Project Life style card, and trimmed it down, to fit my card base (rounding the edges), then I stitched a border around the card, using my trusty sewing machine. I then dug through my Some Odd Girl stamps, and decided to use an all time favourite - Gifty Gwen, I stamped her, and coloured her up, using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I trimmed her out, leaving a thin white border, then mounted her on top of a crochet doily (something I have a massive hoard of), and attached her to the card front.  I stamped and embossed then sentiment (which is one I've never used before!) and then attached some sequins, before doodling all around the card edges... 

Here is the close up of Gwen -

Scrapbooking my house mates cat - Ollie...

Hi guys, 

I had a craft play date yesterday, which means, I was prepared, and put together a mini scrapbook kit, of things I might want to play with...  I grabbed patterned papers, a baggy of embellishments, and a couple of photos... Anyway, this is what I came up with

I used white card stock as my base, and layered it up with some older Echo Park patterned paper, and some Ruby Rock it patterned paper (the yellow one), as well as card stock in white and turquoise (keep an eye out, you will see these colours again soon) I cut the card stocks into banner shapes, and doodled around the edges (of course) I then went through the embellishments, I used a flair button, some resin roses, a couple of stickers, a paper leaf, a doily (behind the photo) and an arrow paper clip- 

In the opposing corner, I added a crochet doily, some washi tapes (onto white card stock) some buttons, resin roses and a paper rose, along with another leaf, flair button and a swirly paper clip.

Kraftin' Kimmie - Fairy - So Sweet Card

Hi again!

I'm busy ignoring the fact I have a uni assignment due in 2 days... hehe

So, here's a card I finished last night -

I started out by stamping and colouring up a previously un-inked Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, I then die-cut her out, using my Big shot... I collected papers from Sn@p Life Paper Pad Vintage Bliss, and layered them together, and doodled around all the edges.  I grabbed a doily from my stash (I always forget about these!) and layered it up, I grabbed some leftover paper (reverse of the butterfly one on the top section of the card) and doodled around it, before popping some vellum down and adding my chipboard sentiment. I finished off the card with sequins (because I'm slightly obsessed at the moment!) 

Here is the close up (oh, I glittered her wings!)

Rockabilly Anya - Birthday Card

Hi ya! Just a quick card share this morning, before I try sleeping again!

I want to apologise for the terrible photos, I will try again in daylight! (Edited - new pics )

I started with the background paper as inspiration, which is from Echo Park, and built my card up around it. I used Rockabilly Anya (adorable!) and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, then fussy cut her out. The background paper, and the aqua piece were both messily stitched, using my sewing machine. The doily has been in my stash a while, and I don't think it has a brand. I stamped the sentiment (MFT) onto some white card, and attached Anya using some pop dots. 

Here is the close up- 

I am entering this into two challenges, I used the sketch from Mojo Monday, and flipped it, as it worked better with her leg in the air this way. I am also linking it up to the Simon Says Stamp Birthday challenge.

Thanks for dropping by! I'll try to get better pics in the morning, and update with a second card then too!

The Greeting Farm - Tag/Gift

Hi! I'm quickly sharing a tag I made to send to my friend Annmaree for her birthday! It goes with the present in the pic... shhh...

I stamped two different stamps, Boho Anya, and Wild Sprouts Daisy and coloured them up using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I then cut the head from Boho Anya, and transferred her to the body of Daisy. I think she looks sweet! I used patterned papers from Authentique and My Minds Eye. I added a bunch of doodling...  

I am entering this into two challenges... The first is the Splendid Stamping, anything But a card challenge, and the Anyone for Anya Inspiration picture.
