LOVE!

Morning Everyone!

I know...I'm really annoying you all this month aren't I? So many posts in one month. You will all be relieved to know that I head back to work tomorrow so I will slow down a little...:)

This share is so very apt this weekend.
Please remember always to hold your loved ones close, to look after each other and to cherish every single moment that you have.

My layout is titled 'Love This So Much!'

I have used Kaiser Mists to create the splatters in the background. I did this after I had adhered the patterned paper from Amy Tangerine 'Oh Happy Life'

I have used the Scrap FX Circle Border Template and some Colour Blast Colour Paste in Dusty Charcoal.

The flowers are by Manor House. Such gorgeous colours.

The twine that I have used is a random twine that I had in my collection.

The tag that I have created has written a little message to my hubby. I decided to use some black cardstock at the top and doodle a little pattern onto it so that it stands out. It also helps to fit another part of the mood board challenge into my layout.

All of the products that I have used are available on the Scrapbookit Online Store If you can't find what you are after be sure to email Jo (joanne@scrapbookit.com.au)...she will get it sorted for you.

Entries close tomorrow for our January Challenge. Be sure to get yours in!

Look forward to sharing some new creations with you next month!

Cards - Amy Tangerine :)

Morning Everyone!

Just popping by super quickly with some cute cards I have created using some of the gorgeous Amy Tangerine 'Oh Happy Life' paper pad. 

Before I do though I wanted to remind you of the January mood board challenge...you only have a few days to get your entry in!! You can find all the details in the right hand panel of this blog or on our Facebook page. Would love to see your interpretation!

If you have seen my card making before you would know that I don't fancy myself as a card maker but also that I keep them reasonably basic and simple.

Here are the three cards that I have made...

Card #1 - L-O-V-E

Besides the gorgeous paper from Amy Tangerine I have added some Colour Blast Colour Paste - Lipstick and Envy,  with two different templates in the background.

It is hard to see, but some white cotton in the background and then some bling, a Manor House flower, some washi tape and that cute little butterfly from the Kaisercraft Decorative Dies - Birds and Butterflies.  I have also splattered some Dylusions white paint over the card when done.

What I love about this paper collection are the little word cards with sentiments on them...fantastic for cards!

Card #2 - Wild About You

Again, I have used some of the Colour Blast colour paste, but this time it is Sunshine with the Scrap FX Circle Border Template.

I have used a Scrap FX Chevron chippie as a feature and have watered down some Tangareen Dream Colour Blast Colour Paste to paint it with.

Card #3 - Enjoy!

A very, very simple and basic card that you could quickly throw together in a hurry....you know those times when you need a card and you have none.
The patterned paper is perfect because it creates its own interest. 

Well, hope you have seen something to inspire you today and if not I hope that you have been prompted to make sure you find some crafty time in your day.

Enjoy your day!

Journal Page - Good Times!

Morning again everyone!

I am loving this Amy Tangerine ~ Oh Happy Life paper collection. So much so that I just can't stop using it!!!!

Today I am here to very quickly share with you another project using this gorgeous paper collection.

I am playing a little bit of catch up with my 2016 Journal Planner. But I am having fun while I do it. I have done so much more than I ever envisaged I would at the beginning of 2016...whilst I had all good intentions.

Anyway, I have used the Amy Tangerine paper to create this page in my journal planner.

I just love how bright it has turned out!!

Alongside the Amy Tangerine papers I have used lots of mixed media products to create.

The first thing that I did to my blank page was use the large circles quarter from the Kaisercraft Grunge Designer Template with some Gel Medium.

Then using the same template I used the Lipstick Colour Blast Colour Paste.

I used the Kaisercraft Bubbles 12x12 Template and the Singin the Blues Colour Blast Colour Paste randomly around the page.

Finally, I used the circle quarter from the Kaisercraft Mixed Media Designer Template with some Envy Colour Blast Colour Paste.

I made sure that between each of these layers I dried the product before continuing.

I then used some Sunflower Colour Blast Shimmer Dust over the top and then dried this off too!

I did some really random stamping using the Kaisercraft Tic Toc Clear Stamp and Archival Ink.

I finished the background off using some white and black Faber Castell Gelatos to add some dimension to my Lipstick coloured circles.

A few different papers and some inked edges and my project is complete!

Maybe you would like to submit a project similar to this in our January Challenge?
You are only limited by your imagination!

I still have another project to share with you, but you will have to pop back later in the month to check that out!

Until then,

Keep These Memories!

Good Morning Everyone!

I am so excited to see the interest in this months challenge! There have been so many comments about the Mood Board and how easy it is to use. Which leads me to a question for you all...What types of challenges would you love to see here at Scrapbookit? Leave us a comment, here or on our Facebook page and let us know the types of challenges you love creating.

I'm here today to share with you another take on the Mood Board that I have created.

Mood Boards are so much fun because you can use as much as you like or as little as you like to inspire your project....and it doesn't even have to be a layout! Our challenges are not restricting you to just the creation of a layout...you can create cards, canvases, art journal pieces, Off the Page projects...whatever you are so inspired to do!

Saying that...my project today is a layout :)

Here it is...

Can you see the element/s that I have been inspired by?
Well, my main inspiration came from the section of the Mood Board...the black and white drawing of flowers. 

One or more of the patterned papers are purely black and white...the options for this are limitless.

I have fussy cut a fair bit of the page into flower clusters to arrange at the base of my cardstock. I have used some KaiserMist - Aqua and some Colour Blast Shimmer Dusts - Candy and Sunflower to highlight a few centres of the flowers.

I have created my background using Colour Blast Shimmer Dusts - Candy and Sunflower, Colour Blast Colour Paste - Envy, Sunshine and Fire Engine and the Kaisercraft Templates - Quarters - Dots and 12x12 Bubbles.

I have also used the Black Marble - Dylusions Spray.

I added some plain cheesecloth behind the photo.

I have used some of Amy Tangerine's - Oh Happy Life paper pad to mount my photos and to cover a tag for my journalling (which is hidden behind the photo!) 

How awesome is this paper pad? Jo and Jane have also been using the same paper pad...so great to create such different layouts with the same collection. Jo has some of this in store...make sure you pop by and grab yourself some!

The collection also has some little saying squares - great for layouts and cards.

I have finished off my layout with some little flowers cut from the black and white drawing page, some butterflies and birds from Kaisercraft Decorative Dies - Birds and Butterflies, a bit of ink around the edges and some Glitter Alpha Stickers for my title.

I love how this one turned out...:)
