Forever And Ever (A2Z Mood Board Challenge)

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)

And last of all a close up of the other Heart Map Pointer that I used.

Here is the Mood Board:

As you can see I used the hearts and the colours pink and aqua from the board.

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:

Best Friends Forever

Hi, Hope you all had an awesome Christmas and New Year. This is my first post of the yr as I took some time away with family. But I am back to show you a layout that I did for Scrapbooking Creations Diva comp that they had at the beginning of last yr. I could not show this layout as it was chosen to be published!!! I ended up with with 2 layouts in that issues, my first and 2nd being published in that mag MADE MY YEAR!!!

This is a pic on my oldest girl first day of Pre Primary. It also has my middle daughter in it. My youngest was just a tiny baby. I just loved this photo and wanted to keep the focus on it.

For the background I randomly put washi tape on cardstock then lightly painted over it with white paint. Then I mixed some texture paste with paint and painted that over a stencil.

The A2Z Scraplets was gessoed and lightly painted. I then glued the pearl trim through the word friends. TIP: Use a glue with a nice sharp point, unlike me who did not and it all ended up a nightmare lol. I then added some embellishments and layout done. The background took the most time.

Well that's it from me. I am thinking its nearly time for a give away so watch this space. Also A2Z Scraplets is under new ownership, so check an eye on their facebook page (HERE) When they get to 1000 likers there will be a giveaway!!!
