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.

Selfies!!! Portrait Simple Stories Album.

Hi There

I wanted to share a little project that I completed last year.

It was inspired by an article that I seen in a scrapbook magazine.
When my husband and I are out at a function or on holiday, I like to take pictures of us (selfies). Most of these pictures where taken on our holiday to the United States in 2012.

This is the front cover of my Simple Stories Album. I randomly stamped images over the cover and used paper scraps from my stash.

     On this page I used a range of embellishments from my stash.

Chipboard stickers, clock, tag, stamps, washi tape and my Dymo for the journaling.

On this page I created the little flag banner using stickers from Simple Stories. I mounted them on thin chipboard and then used twine to embellish.  

I am not fond of the pic on this page, as I took it at the wrong angle. Double chin alert!! With this page I used lots of cog and clock embellishments. The angel wings are from Kaszazz's embellishment range. The tag is from a stationary supply shop. I found the calendar embellishments in Big W.

On this page, I stamped the background with a range of travel stamps I have in my collection. I love the frame ( looks like an old polaroid camera). The tag has some journaling on it. The bling is from Kaiser and I have used their flowers in the bottom corner to tie in with the floral headband I was wearing.

For the embellishments on this page I wanted to keep it simple. I used twine and the compass embellishment from Kaszazz. The twine was attached with the Tim Holtz tiny attacher. The button is Simple Stories. I also used the twine to highlight the month the photo was taken.

This is the back page of the album. It was given to my husband as a gift. I have used part of the Simple Stories paper for the journaling and washi tape for the background, along with some stamping. The letter stickers are from Kmart. Clock embellishment is Kaszazz.

I also wanted to give the album a little project life feel. I love that it comes with these pocket pages. Great for pictures and journaling. The compass embellishment is from Kaszazz.

Papers are Simple Stories.

The frame border on this page is a chipboard square. I covered it with striped washi tape. I have used washi tape for the background, added some stamps and used the calendar embellishment behind the frame. The angel wings are from Kaszazz.

This page has more use of cog embellishments. These are from Kaszazz. I have again stamped the background with travel stamps and used twine to attach the envelope embellishment.

With this page I used washi tape, Kaiser flowers, calendar embellishment and the photo frame. Simple Stories paper pad and stamps for the background.

With this page I have added some hessian. The brad's are from Bo Bunny Zoology range. Chipboard film frame is from my stash.

On this page I have used the other half of the chipboard film strip. The cog embellishment is from Spotlight in their jewellery section. Paper clips & angel wings are from Kaszazz. The heart chipboard embellishment is from ScrapMatts. Papers Simple Stories.

The embellishment words on this page are from Teresa Collins world traveller range. The clock and compass are from Kaszazz.

To finish off the pages, I doodled around the edges of the page with my Memento pen.

I used Versa Pinecone Ink to ink the edges of my pages and the stamping.

I also used Memento Black ink for some of the stamping.

This project took a whole weekend to complete at scrap camp but I was so happy with it, because it really took me out of my comfort zone. All the pages were designed spontaneously. It sits pride of place in my craft room.

Items used in this project are from Simple Stories - Life Documented

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.

Violet Crush

Hi All

This layout was designed for Made with Memories Design Team. I used the Violet Crush range from Kaiser. I love this range....helps a little that purple is my favourite colour!!

I love the simplicity of this layout. The sentiment really went well with my photo's. I recently went to Sydney for a Bon Jovi Fan Club trip and we had a 80's themed cruise on Darling Harbour.

The colours fit with the papers.

The butterfly is from the sticker sheet and was attached using foam mount tape.

I wanted to add a little dimension to my page, so I rolled back the corner of my paper and placed a butterfly from the sticker sheet under the corner.

The only embellishments used were the butterfly stickers, as this particular piece of paper was already very busy with the flower pattern.

By using the black paper in the background, I was able to use it for journaling.

I am what I Choose to Become

Here is another layout completed using the left over papers from the Kaisercraft 45c collection.

I really like this picture of myself and it was a selfie, which I am not good at taking, so was very happy with the end result. I also think it really suited the layout. I used part of a tag from the collection of papers. I loved what it said.

Another favourite is the black script washi tape. It's my new obsession and think it lends itself well to these papers.

Another of my favourites is my dymo machine. I picked it up for $5 at the reject shop a few years ago, but I love that it is quick and easy to journal pages with.

The black lace flowers used in this layout where from a headband picked up at a discount store. I love to search these places for cheap embellishments. The silver flower was picked up from Scrap It, Flaunt It in Kelmscott. I am not sure of the brand.

I really like the way this page all came together and was very happy that it took me less than an hour too. Normally I sit for hours trying to fit everything together. On this particular day, it was like it almost fell onto the page. My creativity was definately flowing.

Well I hope you have all enjoyed my first month of creating for Made with Memories and I look forward to the next challenge.

Take care and happy scrapping

JD
