Singapore Journal - South East Asia Cruise - October 2015

              

 Good Evening All. I hope this post finds you well.

 I wanted to share with you today, my recent Travel Journal.

 The journal is from Kaszazz. 

Unfortunately it is no longer available. Such a shame, as it's a really a great product.

I loved that it came in a kit with all the accessories needed to complete the journal.
I packed it along with my Tim Holtz tiny attacher, journal pens, tape runner and my Fuji Instax camera.
 The sticker pack and metal embellishments were from the cruise ship journal kit.

 This blog will show the finished journal and how I put the pages together.

On Stage - Bon Jovi

 Hi All

How are you? I hope you are all doing well. It's cold and wet in my little part of the world today. I really am not a fan of the cold weather. 

Well I'm back again to share with you my latest designs using the On Stage Collection from Kaisercraft. 

Bath Time Buttons

It's WA DAY in Perth, Australia today.

I hope those of you in Western Australia are enjoying your long weekend.

This is my day to catch up on those unfinished projects around the house and catch up with my scrapbooking blog.

I am currently working on my daughter's album for her 21st birthday. Unfortunately like all things, I decided to start it a couple of months ago. I have been working around the clock to complete it but with all the party planning I didn't get it finished to give to her on her birthday. I have decided to mix a bit of pocket scrapbooking with 12x12 layouts. I have found I am able to achieve a great deal and get her photo's into an album.

This layout was inspired by a google search for bath time layouts. I have used the Bo Bunny Primrose Papers. I love the colours in these papers as they fit into the baby/girl theme very well.

 To add some dimension to the page, I found a packet of buttons of various pink shades and sizes and placed them across the page to resemble bubbles.

My daughter enjoyed her bath time and she loved taking a bath in the kitchen sink. I was living in a small country town and it would get very cold, so the kitchen sink was convenient and I was able to use the kitchen table to dry her off and dress her while the slow combustion stove was going. Our bathroom was a little cold as it was on the outside of the main house.

 I really love looking back at old photo's and the memories they evoke.

Our Little Girl

Hello again my friends. I hope this day finds you happy and healthy and loving life.

I wanted to share with you one of my latest layouts. It's a bit cute. It features my fur baby.
Her name is Koko and she is a pure bread Chihuahua.
My husband and I adore her, so when I seen this paper range and I just had to scrapbook her.

The papers used in this layout are from Bo Bunny. They are from the Primrose range.

So pretty. It made it extremely hard to choose the papers to use.

I used the chipboard embellishments to add some details to the layout. The butterfly created wonderful wings on one of the photo's where Koko was wearing fairy wings. To add colour to these photo's, I used my copic marker and coloured Koko's collar, to make the photo's pop on the layout.

I then used some clear bling to create the butterfly trails. Once again I used my copic marker to colour the bling to match the colour on the photo's.

The chipboard banner was a perfect fit for a title to this layout. It reads Our Little Girl.

Koko is just adorable and turns heads wherever she goes. We love her to bits and she is spoilt rotten.

This layout was designed for Made with Memories

Until next time, take care and I hope you find a little inspiration to scrap your fur babies

Homespun Happiness

 Welcome to my latest blog post. It has been awhile. May is such a busy time for me, with a month of birthdays and Mother's Day thrown in there as well. Making it extremely hard to get time to create.

I love being on the design team for Made with Memories. The challenge is that I need to get my layouts in on time, so therefore I have to make the time to create.

This layout was designed using the Simple Stories Homespun Paper Range.

I wanted to step out of my comfort zone and use a few different techniques and mediums. To create the background I used a script stencil and dylusions spray.

I then used black bazill to frame my pattern squares and make them pop.

I then found a page map I liked and started layering my squares in a pattern I liked. Making my photo the focal point. I love black and white photo's. They are great to use when you have a lot of patterns.

Once I had the placement, I then took a photo to refer back to and started to adhere in place.

 I love these new #hashtag and arrow designs from Dusty Attic.

The heart is from the sticker sheet and to give it some dimension , I raised it up on some chipboard and then sanded the edges.

I used some washi tape and hessian to help build the layers.

I am very happy with the finished layout and even happier that I can show off my gorgeous family.

Ready As I'll Ever Be - Violet Crush

This layout was designed using the Kaiser Violet Crush Papers.

This layout was submitted for consideration for Made with Memories Design Team 2014.

 I really love this range from Kaiser, the colours are vibrant and blend well together.
I felt that with the script paper, I had to use a photo of myself.

When I designed this page, I had no idea what photo I was going to use,

but this self portrait was perfect.

   Might also of helped that I had purple in my hair too!!                                                                         

The sentiments are all about self belief and being kind to yourself.

They really suit my personality.

The butterflies are from the sticker sheet and are attached using foam mount.

The butterfly strip is actually the barcode strip, just cut down to fit.

I also wanted to add a little stitching to pull the whole layout together.

I am very happy with the result.

Repurposed Stamp Block

Hi There

I completed this project a little while ago but I hadn't put it on my blog, so I thought I would share it with you.

I was recently sorting my stamp collection and took all my stamps from my wood mounted blocks and turned them into cling back, so they can be used on acrylic blocks.

So I had these wood blocks left over and didn't want to throw them out, but didn't know what to do with them.

  I wanted to repurposed them in some way and this was the end result. 

                                                                                                                                                                        

I cleaned the block to remove the sticky from it and then I  covered the block in some travel themed washi tape, I then took some clock embellishments and glued them to the front of the block with glossy accents.

I then used some little glass bottles and stuck them to the top of the block, placed some photo pin holders into the cork tops and took a piece of printed paper with the word journey on it and rolled it up and placed inside the clear bottle, to give me a message in a bottle effect.

This has now been repurposed into a cute little photo holder.


Products used : Washi Tape
                        : Glossy Accents
                        : Glass Bottles

Exquisite - Take Note

This single page layout has been designed with the same range of papers - Take Note by Kaiser.

Products used : Take Note papers from Kaiser
                       : Prima Flowers

                           : ScrapMatts Chipboard Words

                           : Pinecone Ink

                           : Pearl Antique Brad

I used a sheet from the 6' x 6' paper pad for the photo mat. The word banner is the barcode cut from the bottom of the 12'x12' paper.The scallop edge on the right hand side was a cut out embellishment used from the back of the 6'x6' paper pad.

These flowers are from my stash. The brown tones really went well with the layout. From memory they are Prima flowers and the layered paper flower is Tim Holtz.

 These chipboard words are from ScrapMatts.

I just inked around them with a little Pinecone ink.

This page designed itself really. I love the simplicity of it. I also love how I was able to design two completely different layout's using the same paper range.

Cherish Moments Together - Take Note

Well time to play catch up on my design pieces.

This single page layout was inspired by the beautiful picture my daughter took of herself and her brother.

Products used : Take Note papers from Kaiser.
                       : Kaiser Blooms
                       : ScrapMatts Chipboard Words
                       : Washi Tape
                       : Dusty Attic Leaves
                       : Twine
                       : Gesso
                       : Honeycomb Stencil

I wanted to add some texture to the background, so I used a honeycomb stencil and some gesso.

I love the chipboard words, which are from ScrapMatts 

        I used some script washi tape in the top right hand corner and some small Kaiser blooms to finish the embellishment off.

     Some Kaiser flowers with some Dusty Attic leaves to create the floral cluster. 

I used the 6' x 6' paper pad to place behind the photo to create a photo mat. I love to place my pictures on a angle too. I am not a straight lines kind of girl.

I also like to print my pictures with the white border as it creates a photo mat effect.

Fancy Pants - 6 years of Beautiful Moments.

Well its been a little while since I posted my designs. I have been very busy just catching up on everyday issues and trying to run a business, be a mum, scrapbook, birthday celebrations , that I have had very little time to create. So its nice to finally sit down and post my latest design for you.

My latest design was inspired by my beautiful husband and the wonderful moments we have shared together in the last 6 years.

So I give you 6 years of Beautiful Moments.

Fancy Pants - Pucker Up and Be Mine Papers

Kaiser - Love Notes

I used my trusty dymo machine for journaling the dates. It lent itself to this layout well.

I love these photo frames. Looks like an old polaroid picture.

Instaframes.

 I used a page map for inspiration and added a little detail by sewing around the edges of the page.

Gracie Moon Letters

I added more detail by just reverse stitching.

Kaiser Bling adds a little more dimension to my embellishment cluster.

Designed for Made with Memories.

Happy Scrapping
