Another Christmas Layout

I don't know why but I am loving doing Christmas layouts. Before this yr the most I had done in 6yrs was 2. I have now done 4 in 3 months!!! Talk about being on a roll lol.

This layout is o my youngest girl wearing the dress that her 2 older sisters had worn:

I wanted to use a non Christmas title. After flicking through my A2Z file I came across this title. With a bit of paint and some Flourish With A Bling I have a fab title. But I decided it needed more words and so 'Our Christmas Princess' become the title

Some of the scraplets used are:

I cut the butterflies off to use on another layout

The red bits near the while flower are also from A2Z Scraplets. Head HERE to see all the scraplets and remember you can buy straight from the site.

I used flowers from Prima, Manor House, Scrapbooking In Geraldton and D'Lish. Some more Flourish With A Bling and lots of A2Z Scraplets.

Well I am off to do some more scrapping with some kits I brought from Scrapbooking Savvy. It took me FOREVER to get some as they sell out so quick. If you like kits head HERE for some fab ones.

Don't forget to check out Scrapbooking In Geraldton, its by fav bricks store but they do sell online.

And lastly please have a go at A2Z May Challenge, only 1 has entered and would love to see more. Head HERE or all the details

Using a Flourish stencil to make a SPLASH

After a very busy 2 weeks I am back scrapping YAY!!! I started this for Scrapbooking Savvy Cyber Crop but miss the deadline. I just love how it turned out.

I used the 3 photos of 2 of my girls doing bombers into the pool. The Scraplet 'Splash' was painted using Kaisercraft Paint and micro beads where then glued into the splashes

I also used the A2Z Flourish stencil to make the splashed around the page. To do this I choose part of the flourishes that looked like splashes and with Texture paste I covered that part, then sprayed with glimmer mist. I also used the new Chevron from Charms Creation

Once that was dried I flipped the stencil over and did the same on the other side o the page

I also used Echo Park paper and Flourish With A Bling

Remember that you can buy A2Z Scraplets straight from the website. Head HERE for the website. Also A2Z have a new challenge up. Its a colour one with a fab prize of scraplets up for grabs. Head HERE for all the details, would love to see your take on it!!!

May Challenge for A2Z Scraplets

Where is this yr going? 2nd of may already!!!!! Time is flying. Its time again to let you all know the new challenge for A2Z Scraplets. Its a colour one this one. I will show you the layout first then what colours are in the challenge.

The layout:

The colours are:

BLUE, YELLOW, BLACK and WHITE

 

It can be any shade of yellow and blue.

 

Now for a few close ups:

 

 

Did you know that A2Z can make up scraplets for you?? With a daughter that has the name Iona (I have a Scottish hubby) it was just impossible to get anything with her name. Love the fact that anytime I need Iona make up (or any other name) I can just ask A2Z.

 

You can also see the filo butterfly from Handmade Halo (near the I)

 

 

 

I have used another scraplets here as well as flowers from Charm Creation. The ladybug is from handmade halo.

 

Now the rules: You must only use the colours in the challenge but we well except any shades of blue and yellow. You don't have to use A2Z Scraplets but if you have them we would love to see them. The challenge ends at midnight on the last day of the month.

 

Head HERE for the A2Z blog and the linky thingy for the challenge

Quote challenge from Scrapbooking Savvy

After being away for a week I finished off a layout that I had started before I left. As I was looking for ideas I saw this quote challenge as part of Scrapbooking Savvy Cyber crop and it went well with the photo I had picked out. The quote is;

A thing of beauty is a joy forever

 

And my layout is:

 

 

Of course I used A2Z Scraplets, the vine border and butterflies which comes in a set (great value for money) and the white/blue flower is from halo, the bottom blue flower if from D'lish, the top one is prima along with the green vine

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

For the background I placed the template on the card and with ink, covered all the butteries. When dried I went over with white paint. Using the same template I again put in on the card, slightly off then the first time and used texture paste and glimmer mist. The template I used is from Crafters workshop

Also a new month starts tomorrow so a new challenge will be up at A2Z. If you are into colour ones then keep your eyes on the blog tomorrow!!!

Scrapbooking Savvy Crop Challenge

Hello scrappers on this ANZAC day. Scrapbooking Savvy are having a HUGE Cyber Crop with 5, thats right 5 challenges. The awesome news is that you have 2 weeks to upload the layouts to the gallery under the challenges!!!

 Karen (DT member) challenge is to use the word Dream OR Dreams OR Dreaming. Now I am at my parents house so I raided my mothers stash and made her a layout based on one of the challenges.

I have used 2 stencils in the background, one with just mist, the other with texture paste and mist

The scraplets is, of course, A2Z

Head to the  Scrapbook Savvy Facebook Event HERE for all the challenges plus where to post the finished layouts.

Now on a slightly different note: The reason I have not blogged for a while is that we had a death in the family, my Dad's brother. While I did not know him well my thoughts and prays go out to his wife, children and my Dad. The main reason for scrapbooking is to remember the stories, feelings, dates and places. That is why my layouts focus on the photo and feelings.Its not about the trends, what style you do or technique, they just help to add to the whole story and make it fun. And to help the memories last.

A2Z Quote Challenge

Its the middle of the month and only 1 entry into the A2Z Scraplets Quote Challenge. I am really hoping to see the amount of entries we have had in the past few months. So today I am going to re show you my take on the challenge AND I am also going to show you a layout that another DT from A2Z did. I reaaaaalllllllly hope that this inspires you to do the challenge. And the rules are sooo simple AND you don't even need to use any A2Z scraplets to enter!!!!

The quote is : YOU BRIGHTEN UP MY DAY

First I will show you the wonderful layout that Monica Burns did:

Isn't just STUNNING. The stencil you see is from the new stencil range from A2Z.

And now a re look at the one I did:

Again the stencil is from A2Z

I really hope this gets you in the mood to do this challenge. It finishes up at the end of the month, as I said before you DON'T need to use scraplets but i you have them would love to see how you use them and the quote must be seen somewhere on the layout. If it is small or hidden we still need a photo of it so we can see that you have used it. Besides that it is up to you.

Head HERE for the A2Z blog with all the details and the linky. If you don't have a blog you can email the layout to A2Z and they will post it for you.

Ears Pierced layout

Its been a while since my last post but I have been away on holidays with  my family. We spent a week in Kalbarri, 6hrs north of Perth, W.A. It was AWESOME!!! Stunning weather and was so relaxing. But we are home and back into things.

This layout is from my last ever Scrap Everything DT Pack. My time is up but I had a awesome time with Scrap Everything and will sooooo still be shopping there and entering every months challenges.

Here is the layout:

This is about the day Iona got her ears pierced. The 2nd photo is not the best but all that I had from that day. The paper I used is from the Echo Park OH SNAP range. With the background I used a plainer paper from the range and with a Kaisercraft Template, Distress Ink (Picked Raspberry) and a green Prima ink I dabbed over some of the template with a make up sponge.

I was sent some beautiful white Prima flowers but the colour did not go.So with some Glimmer mist it become yellow. I also used Kasiercraft strip rhinestones to make the curl. I then added 'The story' sticker, pointing it to the ear.

And that's mine layout. Simple but still told the story. All the products are from Scrap Everything. Head HERE to the store and check out the sale!!!!

Also here is this months sketch challenge. It can be a card or layout and post it on their Facebook page. A fab prize is up for grabs

Also don't forget the A2Z Quote challenge:' You brighten up my day' needs to be somewhere on the layout. head HERE for all the details. A fab scraplets pack is up or grabs :)
