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:

More cards

Hi today I am showing you a few cards I made with leftover paper from my kit from Mad About Scrapping (I Love Candy from Echo Park)

First up is a card I made using the very last of the scraps. The 'No matter' was a die cut that came with the range. After sticking it all down I stamped the Kaisercraft stamp over it and added the Flourish With A Bling pearls.

After gluing the 2 layers of paper I used a sticker from the sticker sheet that came with the range. The stamp I used is from Stampin' Up

The base of this one was a die cut, I added another die cut over it with some seam binding (type of ribbon) and the stamp is again from Stampin' Up.

All in all done in 30mins. Great if you need that quick card or wanting to create when you don't have much time.

Head to the MAS store HERE for great prices and HERE for the blog (don't forget the sketch challenge)

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

Belinda :)
