Beautiful Darcelle with Scrapmatts

Good Morning and welcome to November....arghhh, does that mean Christmas is nearly here?

Today I would like to share with you a layout I created using some beautiful Scrapmatts chipboard.

I have used the new Prima paper Darcelle by Frank Garcia.

I love the deep purples and maroons.

This layout was inspired by Marg from Country Papercraft in Bruce Rock, where I spent a gorgeous weekend creating.

Kraft + June Challenge 

This month Kraft + challenge is to use just one colour with Kraft card stock.

So I decided to use the Bombay Sunset papers from Kaisercraft and I have used the Aqua/Green to showcase my photo. Here is the layout.

Bird Cage Beauty

 Hello and welcome. 

How is your Sunday? Its very wet and cold here in WA, so the perfect time to catch up on my blog and do a little craft.

I wanted to share with you all a little project that I had my hubby help me with a couple of weeks ago. I had this antique looking birdcage sitting in my craft room and I was waiting for the right time to do something with it.

It was when I was cleaning out the craft room that I had a light bulb moment and I asked hubby if he could make a few minor adjustments and turn it into a light shade.

So off to the shed he went and cut the top from it and drilled a hole the size of the light fixture and BOOM....here it is.

It is now proudly on display covering my light in the craft room.

Last Man Standing

 

 

 

How we all doing this evening?

 

As you know I want to complete a few challenges this year.

This one is for Jot Magazine Mood Board Challenge

 

 

 

This is my take on the challenge.

 

 

I love the colours in the mood board, as they are the colours of my wedding.

 

My wedding was also Bon Jovi themed with wedding vows & music.

The title of the page is a Bon Jovi song.

My whole wedding album pages are Bon Jovi song titles or lyrics.

 

 

The base/background paper is from the Kaszazz Romance Range.

 I used a black script washi tape for the photo base.

The white boarder effect on the photo was printed like that from the decorative boarders option at the printing station.

I love Prima flower branches and these fit perfectly with my colours.

Black thicker letters for the title.

Clock Stamp from Kaszazz.

Heart Punch from Kaszazz.

 

Thanks for dropping by and please feel free to leave a comment. I welcome your feedback.

 

Keep the Faith

Scrap the Girls Challenge - Sweet Smile

Happy New Year All. 

As the New Year is now upon us and January is almost finished, I wanted to set myself a few challenges. So with list in hand I have managed to tick off a couple of things that I have been wanted to do for some time. On that long list is to actually take part in some scrap challenges. So last night I set about completing my first scrap challenge for Scrap the Girls.

Here is the Sketch by Rikki.

I am very happy with my completed layout. This is the final result.

 I have used the Rustic Harmony Collection from Kaisercraft.

The script words are Kaisercraft.

This amazing frame is from Scrapmatts - CB4007 Frames

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.  

This layout was created for

Tattered Floral Birdcage

It's that time again where another month is nearing it's end and I have been madly designing.

My inspiration this month was from the Prima Engravers Collection of papers, flowers and brads.

This little birdcage got a make over. Too cute.

After seeing a post from Tim Holtz using his Tattered floral die and some distress paints, I was inspired to break out my die and see what I could with it.

This is the finished flower using Prima Engraver Collection Papers & Brads.

Prima flower, Tim Holtz Cog.

These ticket tags are inked with Versa Pinecone.

Filled with Prima flowers.

This little bird was picked up in a discount store.

The blue lace border is prima. This was purchased in the States.

I love the end result.

Happy crafting
