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.

I've been a bad blogger... Some Odd Girl Cards

I've been a terrible blogger lately! I've not crafted much recently, as my week of prac ended and I went to visit my parents, and head to Sydney with my big sis, to see The Lion King and check out Madame Tussauds

This is us, giving Iron Man some love ;)
Anyway, I have a couple of cards to share (which are all up in my madeit, and etsy stores)... 

Here we go...
This card was a special request, for a friend, who wants to send the card to her best friend, who was complaining, he'll never get a "Congratulations, you're married" or "Congrats on your baby card", so, he'd like one with this sentiment - "Congratulations - You're Gay!" 

I used patterned paper from Kaisercraft, and a digital stamp, from Some Odd Girl, coloured using my Spectrum Noir Markers. Embellishments include resin flowers, a bow and a glitter heart (diecut from Lawn Fawn) 

Close up - 

This one was made using the Deconstructing Jen Sketch #115 as inspiration. I'm also linking this card to the Some Odd Girl Linky Party (well both actually)

This one, I made to go straight into my store - 

I started by selecting papers from Teresa Collins and My Minds Eye, and colouring up Mae from Some Odd Girl, I used the colour palette of the papers, to determine my colouring. I decided to add a gold glitter feather (die-cut from MFT) and a wooden Prima feather, I also used a trio of resin flowers and some gold sequins. The sentiment for this one, is from Simon Says Stamp. I'm linking this one up to Friday Sketch challenge, and the Simon Says Stamp - Die-cut Crazy challenge

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.

More Scrapbooking - New Years Eve 2013.

Hi guys! I'm just typing this up before heading to bed (This post is scheduled), after an epically long day! 

I have another Scrap page to share!

I've been on a bit of a scrapbooking binge, trying to bring my card mojo back!

For this page, I went through my Instagram pics from New Years Eve, and printed them out, using my printer. I then die-cut them using the big shot. I decided for this page, to use some patterned paper from Teresa Collins (She Said) range, and paired it with some plain Kraft card. I popped some gold washi tape down, and some scallops. Then grabbed my big box of flowers, from D-Lish Scraps, I mixed in some Prima, and resin roses as well as a few tiny pearls. The main title was made using a Prima chipboard, Jenni Bowlin stickers and a little Studio Calico Heart. 

Here is the close up collage, you can see in the smaller pics the true colours. for some reason, the main image wouldn't photograph correctly, colour wise!

Scrapbooking - Lazy Sundays

Hi guys! I told you I'd be back, to share a scrapbook page! 

This is one that I created last week, but couldn't be bothered photographing, and I don't know why!

For this page, I used patterned paper from Teresa Collins, the banners are also from a collection by Teresa Collins. I've used embellishments from Studio Calico, Prima, and the flowers are D-Lish Scraps. I made the title using my Motex Label Maker and alphabet stickers from Kaisercraft. 

Here's the collage of close ups -

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

Kraftin' Kimmie - Tinkerbelle Christmas Card

I've started my Christmas cards early this year (because, I'm ALWAYS in a rush come November) 

Here is the one I made this week - 

I started this card, by stamping my Kraftin' Kimmie Tinkerbelle in dark brown ink, and colouring her using my Spectrum Noir Markers. I used mostly EB1, EB2, TN1,TN2, FS2  and a little bit of TN3 in her hair. I then fussy cut her out, and set about picking out my papers etc. 

I used patterned paper from a 6x6 paper pad from My Minds Eye, it is from their Christmas collection from last year. I then doodled around the edges using a gold paint marker. I added a distressed piece of vanilla card stock, which I'd inked around the edges and then added Tinkerbelle to. I added some glitter glue to her wings, and some more doodling. Before attaching all the layers together, I added some twine and a bling embellishment. I finished off the card by adding three gold sequins to the top left hand corner of the main image panel.
Here is the close up-

The Greeting Farm - Princess Anya

Hi guys! I'm back again, with a super girly card to share!

 I had this image sitting almost finished, in my coloured image box... I wasn't overly happy with it when I coloured it up months ago, and I'm not sure why.... So, I finished off the no-lines colouring using my Spectrum Noirs, on this Princess Anya stamp. I then trimmed her out, and found some paper that was left over from this card, it's from an old My Minds Eye paper pad, and doodled around the edges, I used a piece of pink card stock, and ran it through the big shot, with a dotted embossing folder, and doodled around it too... I attached them together, and added some light pink grosgrain ribbon. I mounted it on some Kraft card, and added a die-cut shape, and circle, before adhering Princess Anya on top with dimensional adhesive. I grabbed all my sparkly bits and bobs, as well as paper, fabric and resin flowers, and added them on to the corner of the image panel. The main flower is a Prima one, which I've removed the little button from, and added the super sparkly flower centre to. I then added a couple of rhinestones to each end, and a trio of sequins in the top corner...
Here is the close up -

Scrapbook Page - Laugh as much as you breathe...

Hi guys! I have had a serious lack of mojo lately, so decided to try and get some scrapbooking done, to try and bring it back....

I printed my photo, which is from my nieces 2nd birthday party (held at the end of last month), and decided to scrap it, using the bright colours in the photo as inspiration! I grabbed some really old Echo Park Paper (Splash range) and used it as my main paper, I layered it up with some darker blue, and lighter blue card stock, and doodled around the edges. I then mounted my photo on some white card stock, and layered up a couple of pieces of washi tape, specifically #3 and #30. I then selected my embellishments -

I grabbed some paper blooms, as well as a Prima Pleated Flower, which I removed the pearl from and added a Finding Nana button instead. I added a wood veneer heart, from Freckled Fawn Wood Chips, as well as a Resistable Arrow, from Pink Paislee, which I inked with pink ink. To finish off this cluster, I added a Chic Tag and a couple of enamel dots.

This small embellishment cluster contains more Pink Paislee mistable shapes, which were sponged using pink ink, more enamel dots, and another Freckled Fawn wood chip.

My title of the page, is made up of lots of bits and pieces, alphas (I seriously love the look of mixed font titles!) I used pieces from Jillibean Soup Wise Words, Kaisercraft black and white mini alphas, Jillibean Soup Navy Alphabeans, and some random thickers that have been in my stash FOREVER! You can also see, on this photo, I've added an arrow paperclip from Freckled Fawn as well.

I used inspiration from two different places for this layout -

Saturated Canary - Lovely Blank Card

Hiya! I have a card to share today, that I made the night before last, that is now zooming it's way to a wonderful family member for their birthday! 

I started by printing out the Lovely digital stamp (currently on sale for this challenge!) and then, I picked out the paper I wanted to use... In this case, I picked out some PTI paper, that has some gold scattered leaves in it... I then coloured up Lovely, using my Spectrum Noir Markers, and die cut a spellbinders shape around her. I layered the patterned paper on white card, doodled around the edges with a SU! gold marker and popped some pretty gold ribbon down, and decided to add some dimension, using some flowers... 

I've used a Prima red flower, some Kaisercraft paper blooms and a couple of tiny, resin roses.... 

Here is the close up...  

I originally used the sketch from Monday Lunch time sketch, until I realised my ribbon was going the wrong way... I'm going to link it up anyway... and hope for the best!

Some Odd Girl - Wishes

Hi guys! This is a quick (ish) post, that includes lots of yumminess from The Stamp Spot! 

I started by stamping Wishes from Some Odd Girl, and coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir Markers, I then selected my papers... I've used the pink flowered paper from Sn@p Vintage Bliss 6x6 and, the butterfly 3x4 inch tag from Sn@p Vintage Bliss 4x6 card, I trimmed it out, and re-mounted it on purple card, as it was getting lost with pink on pink... I layered a paper doily between the pink and 3x4 card, then added Wishes, a sentiment (from MFT) and then decided this card needed some flowers, bling and another butterfly! I dug through my stash, knowing I had these Prima pleated blooms that would work perfectly for this super girly card. I also used one of these Kaisercraft Amethyst paper blooms and a pink one from my stash. Michelle has recently added chipboards to the shop (which is SUPER exciting!) I used one of the tiny butterflies from 2Crafty, and added a few purple rhinestones. 

Here is the close up -

The Greeting Farm - Princess Anya - Very Girly!

Hey guys!

I have a very girly, feminine card to share today!

How adorable is it?! I had a great time making this card. Usually not my style... but anyway! 

I used the Princess Anya stamp, coloured her up using my Spectrum Noir markers, and patterned paper (Kaisercraft)  pieced her dress which I shaded with a couple of markers to give some definition. I used made the card up using patterned papers from My Minds Eye and a fun EK Success punch to make the border. I added some Kaszazz lace, and a sentiment from My Favorite Things, and punched it out using a label punch. I added a bit flower, from Prima. 

This card will be up in my store soon.

I am entering this card in 3 challenges, the first is the DTT sketch, as well as the Farm Fresh Friday Punch challenge, and finally the Simon Says Stamp, Paper Piecing challenge. 

Scrapbooking multiple photos!

Hello Again! I scrapbooked yesterday! I went through a bunch of my photos, and decided to use four from a day trip to Hunter Valley Botanical Gardens... here is my layout-

I took LOTS of photos on this trip, and wanted to pop them together, so I could see all the beauty in one page. The first image, is the Aboriginal Sculpture, followed by an artsy photo of the palms, a naked lady sculpture (teehee!) and the pergola. I used patterned paper from My Minds Eye, Prima Flower, Rub-on leaves from Kaisercraft, and a flourish that was painted using White Crackle paint... The "pretty" is a stamp from Prima, buttons are from my stash, and the bling behind the flower is from Annmaree :) Here are some closies

I used inspiration from White With One - Green and Chevrons

The Greeting Farm - Rain, Snow, Shine

Hello Again! I've got another card to share with you today! One I made yesterday before work, it's currently available in my MadeIt Store.

This card features Anya from Rain, Snow and Shine, which I have to admit is one of my favourite sets to colour/paper piece. I used my Spectrum Noirs to colour her up, and patterned paper from My Minds Eye to paper piece her top (and make the rest of the card)  I used some seam binding in Siam from Ribbon Carousel to make the bow. To make the ribbon flat again after it'd been scrunched up in my ribbon box, I used some Washi Tape to attach it to my work bench, then grabbed my heat gun and gave it a quick blast. I added a little Prima flower centre to the middle of the bow. Here's a close up

I am entering this into the Splendid Stamping Double Take Tuesday and the Anyone for Anya, umbrella inspiration. 

Thanks for popping by!

Scrapbooking Day Trip Photos

Hello! Hello! Back again today, with a quick post of some scrapbooking of some photos from last year, I had some photos from a day trip to Walka Water Works which isn't far from home, but is a lovely place to visit. Here is my layout -

I started off with a white piece of cardstock, which I painted up with Black Crackle paint, when it was completely dry, I used a brick mask and inked up over the top using Stampin' Up white ink. I then stitched along the top and bottom of my brick wall section, using my sewing machine, and a zig zag stitch. I glued down my first photo, which was the far away shot, but it looked too plain, so I added another photo, which is a close up shot of the windows. I added my embellishment clusters, in orange...  

I used Sassfrass Lass stickers, buttons, flowers, a stamped 'beautiful' from Prima, I also used some ribbon with polka dots on it. Lots of little bits and pieces...  

I am entering this into two challenges, the first is the White With 1 - White, Orange and Black challenge. This one made me step out of my comfort zone, as Orange isn't a colour I use very often, at all! I am entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge as well.
