Scrapbooking - Park Play

Hiya! I have a scrapbook page to share today!

I decided to scrapbook some photos of my nephew and I at the park. It's the first time I've been able to play with him, run around, and just be silly, so it needed to be documented. I used patterned paper from Amy Tan (American Crafts) and paired it with some super old stickers from Sassfrass Lass, some washi tape, more stickers, a flair button and some wooden embellishments, coloured with my Spectrum Noirs.

Here is the close up -

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.

D-Lish Scraps - October Inspiration Board

Hello Again!

I've got a scrap page to share this evening! 

I started out by printing a photo of some sparkly heels I wore while out in Sydney at the start of the month, and making a polaroid-esque frame for it. I then set it aside, and grabbed some black card stock, and a sheet of stickers, from Sassfrass Lass (a SUPER old sheet of stickers!) I then stuck them down, added a strip of washi (stuck to white card and trimmed down) then a sticker from Amy Tangerine, and a title from Bella Blvd, which is from a 12x12 sheet, it fit this layout perfectly!

The journalling was done using my motex label maker, and some small stickers. I grabbed some wood veneers and coloured them up with my Spectrum Noir Markers. I also attached a bunch of resin roses in a few different sizes... 

This corner has the big flower sticker, from Amy Tangerine, and another couple of wood veneers, coloured with my Speccies... I also added an arrow sticker and some small word stickers and more resin roses. 

I used inspiration from the D-Lish Scrap's Neon October Inspiration Board

The Stamp Spot Blog Hop!

Welcome to the first Stamp Spot Blog Hop!

This weekend, we'd love to share with you some inspiration for this months craft challenge (kids) , and also a chance to win some awesome prizes!  At each stop along the way, read the post carefully, as each blog will have a fun question for you to answer... (ie. What are your families traditions at Easter?) Answer the question to go in the draw for the prize from each blog! 

If you've come from Annmaree's Blog, you're on the right track, if not, head to The Stamp Spot blog, and start from the beginning!
So here is my project! I wanted to make something that was interactive, for primary school kids... So, I made up this little card and pencil kit -

 
I started out, stamping Kraftin' Kimmie stamp - Goldilocks, in black ink, then doodled around the border (of course). The patterned paper in the background is from My Minds Eye, My Girl 6x6 patterned paper pad. I then added a mft die-namic, and popped some alphabet stickers from Sassfras and the "You" is from Alley Way Stamps. The tag is covered in the left over patterned paper, and some washi tapes and threaded with some awesome Twine and a little teddy coloured with my Spectrum Noirs. The little pencils have been wrapped in twine, and washi tape too!

Scrapbooking, with no patterned paper!

Hello Again! I'm on a bit of a scrapbooking roll at the moment, I have this one to share today, and another on Monday for Feeling Sketchy, but, I'm getting ahead of myself.... Here is the one of the pages I made last night -

This is a scrapbook page dedicated to Tommy, my ex-housemate and my kitty. He is still around, just living about a 4hr drive away, which means I don't get to see him.. :-(  Anyway, Tommy is an adorable kitty, so I had to scrapbook one of my favourite photos of him. It's taken a while, purely because I'm still dealing with the fact that I can't see him everyday.... 

I used a white card stock base, and layered it up with four 4 inch squares in Poppy Parade and Real Red, and stitched them together. I then did my journalling on a piece of Peach Parfait cardstock, and cut it into a banner shape. My picture is using a Kaisercraft Polaroid Frame (again.) The mix of embellishments are from D-Lish Scraps, My Minds Eye, Sassfrass Lass and bits and bobs that have been in my stash forever. Here are some close ups -

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.
