OMG Its been a while since my last post OOOPS!!! But to be fair with swimming lessons, family visits and sport life has been busy. But I do have an layout to share for the A2Z Mood Board Challenge and I hope it gets you in the mood to do it too.

This is my first EVER layout from my wedding photos. (photo was taken by Lata Photography) For the background I used Washi Tape and Gelatos with a Prima Spot stamp.

A brand new A2Z Scraplet!!! After gessoing it I used Shimmerz and Hedi Swapp Mist.

The frame is from Mad About Scrappin (LOVED them and sooo cheap!!! HERE to get them), the flowers Prima, Washi tape a mixture from Mad About Scrappin and Scrapbooking In Geraldton. I also have have 2  Scraplets, the 2 heart arrow was inked with Prima while the Brand New Heart Map Pointer was painted with Shimmerz Dazzelerz Paint.

More of the frames, Prima Flowers, Wahi Tape and A2Z Scraplets (painted with Shimmerz)

Together Time- Stuck? Sketch Challenge

I am here to show you my very 1st layout EVER for a Stuck? Sketch Challenge. Fellow A2Z DT Bel Wood entered the challenge and I just loved her take on the sketch sooo much I had to do one as well.

Here is my take on the sketch:

I just love this photo (but hey, don't I say that about all of them lol ) Its of my hubby and our 3 girls on a beach in Port Denison, W.A. Its 'our' spot. We live a short drive from this town and when we just want a morning off the farm this is where we go to.

For the background I took a My Mind Eye paper and painted on (in a shape of L) Shimmerz Paints Dazzelerz( Gummy Berry Blue). Then on top of that Shimmerz Bling, (Under the sea), which gives it a glitter look. Once dried I painted over that with Shimmerz, (Sunny) .Once the L was finished I lightly painted over the page using the colours sunny and under the sea. Then with a Prima Spot Stamp i stamped heavy in the L area and lightly over the page.

Now for the embellishments. The flowers are Prima, D'Lish Scraps and Mad About Scrappin (as is the Doily) The Flair is Flutterbys

The Frame and Banner's are A2Z. The frame was gessoed and then painted with Shimmerz (Aqua Marine) and then heat dry to get that bumpy texture look. The Banners where gessoed with Gelatos on top. While still wet I stamped over them with the Prima spot Stamp. The paper is from Echo Park. The word Time is from Prima, painted with Shimmerz (sunny).

Here is the sketch:

Sketch Challenge for MAS

Hi everybody!!!! I have been sooo very quite on here due to school holidays and cross stitching my youngest daughter Christmas Stocking (I want it finished by dec) But I have still been scrapping up a storm.

Today I want to show you the sketch challenge for Mad About Scrapping and some  of the prizes that are up for grabs. It has changed and the challenge is now being ran though their blog with a Linky to link up from your blog to the challenge.

First here is my take on the sketch:

I have used NO pattern paper and lots of mix media. The background was created by using Gelatos, Shimmerz Paints Dazzerlers (the green in the circle) Shimmerz Bling, Hedi Swapp Spray and Kaisercraft Stamps. Lots and lots of layering til I got the look I wanted.

Instead of  paper I used washi tape and layered it a bit on each other. I have also used an A2Z Scraplet (the new owner has the machine up and running, WATCH THIS SPACE)

The title was Prima that I spayed with orange mist

To finish off a Charms Creation heart and a D'Lish Scraps flower.

Here is the sketch:

As you can see I used 1 photo instead of 4 (Amy Prior did a fab job creating this sketch)

And the prizes that are up for grabs are:

Also MAS has a sale on check it out HERE, loads of chipboard, veneer, frames, paper up for grabs!!!!

Last layouts for 2013

Hello everyone, did you have a fab Christmas? We did,spent some time with family and friends and eating wayyyyy to much. Because we were away I missed putting up some layouts I did for Mad About Scrappin.

And here we start:

The first up is 2 layouts using the Candy mini theme kit from Echo Park. I also used wood veneers from WOW

2 of my girls enjoying an ice cream with Dad

I used 3 lots of wood veneer on this layout,here are the arrows ones. I gessoed and inked them.

I cut banners from the paper range, drew black pen around them and stuck on the page, I added stickers from the range on the right hand side and twine from D'Lish Scraps.The Flair is also from them/

The hearts are wood veneers that I used for stamps. I inked one heart one and stamped around the page. I then outlined the hearts.

Last wood veneer on this layout is the word 'smile'.

The photos on this one is bad, sorry.

The wood veneers were gessoed and pained red. I then wrote around each one what I loved about my girl.

Button from Purple Pumpkin, the rest from MAS.

Here is a layout I did for MAS Sketch Challenge:

This is my nephew playing on a beach in W.A. Now silly me went away without any scrapbooking stuff....what was a girl to do put play with her mothers stuff!!!

I created the background with Gelatos,mist, stencils, beads and embossing powder. I also used bandage under the photo that I pulled apart.

For some reason this likes being on the side (I have tried to changed it a few times) Instead of using paper, I used ribbon and lace cut to different sizes. Plus I think it made it look more beachy.

Here is the sketch, it was created my Anne Patterson:

Well that's it from me. I wanted to say a BIG THANK YOU to each of you that have followed me this yr, left comments and been part of my scrappy world. You have been awesome. And a another BIG THANK YOU to the ones that have become friends away from here, its been awesome getting to know you (you know who you are)

Hope to see you in the New Year

More A2Z release and challenges

Well I am a bit behind in my posts but its that busy time of yr for farmers. And of course sick kids and sleepovers added in the mix makes this Mum busy.

This layout has 2 brand new Scraplets. I had soooo much fun creating the background, sometimes its fun just to create.

The background is Gelatos sprayed with water. I then stamped a Prima stamp on it. Love this stamp, but because of the size not one I use much of.

These MUSHROOMS have to be my fav out of the the mushrooms at A2Z. After gessoing I painted the tops red and blending it down the stalk. Then I added a few of the Flourish With A Bling Mushrooms. The grass is also painted.

The Love You in the circle is another new release from A2Z. Simply painted red and black. Then added some twine to 'hang' in the tree.

The clouds are from Flourish With A Bling. The paper and butterfly I got from Mad About Scrappin.

Now for 2 challenges.
