Art Fun

Good morning and welcome back to Scrapbookit.

Well I'm not sure what's happening with our weather but it's been a bit chilly and damp here in Bright, I guess it is Spring.

I am back today to share a couple more projects I have created using the Creative PL paper pad that the team is working with this month.

For this layout I have used a couple of the papers that featured hearts. I then have used some Nuvo mousse with a KinderKreations stencil to add these super paint brushes to my background.

I have stamped a Darkroom Door stamp and added a sizzix die. I cut my title on the Silhouette to finish off my page. 

I love these photo's I get of my beautiful grandaughter  while she is playing and having fun at child care.

'Selphie'

Well as much as I struggle working with photo's of myself I can see it is important for my family to have these in our albums.

I did have fun using my new Hot Foil Stamps from Couture Creations adding some shiny flowers to my background and different colours to my title chipboard from 2Crafty. I also added some Nuvo Mousse through a Prima stencil to add some more flowers.

That's it from me this month but the other team members will be back later to share some more projects to give you some great idea's to get your photo's scrapped.

Don't forget to get your entry in for this months challenge you could be in the running for a $30 voucher . We really need lots of entries in by the 30th November.

Happy Scrapping

It' Saturday!!!

Good Morning

Welcome to Scrapbookit coming to you from our spring retreat today. Waiting for the sun to shine but it's not looking promising.

I am back today to share some more projects that I have created with the Authentique 'Sea Maidan'.

How could I not scrap beach photo's with this gorgeous paper range? Adding a little texture behind the sections and then I added some foil to a Heidi Swapp foam title to complete a quick page that is full of graphics.

This page has plenty of texture using a Kinder Kreations template and the Nuvo texture mousse to create the mermaid tail scales. Layers of paper and some stickers from the range just finished it off.

Well back to the retreat fun, looking forward to sharing some class photo's and some of the antics we will get up to.

I hope you join us for our challenge this month because you could be in the running for a $30 voucher.

Have a great weekend

Jo.

A NEW MONTH...A NEW CHALLENGE!

Hello Everyone!!!!

Hasn't the first month of the year gone so quick??

We, here at Scrapbookit, had a little break over the month of January. Whilst it was lovely to have a rest...I missed my scrapbooking incredibly!!

Anyway, we are back and we can't wait to share with you some great challenges, projects, and inspiration this year!

Today my job is to share with you our new challenge for February.

It is a 3 - 2 - 1 Theme Challenge!

Our challenge this month is to create a project following the theme "All About Love" with the following elements:

3 - Use at least 3 different colours

2 - Include embellishments

1 - Include a song title/lyrics as part of your title/journalling

Your project could be about something, someone or somewhere you love!

Here is what I have come up with...

This month I am using the very fun 7 Dots Studio - Paint Chips paper collection. How gorgeous is it? It is so versatile and a lot of fun to play with.

I have also used the collections Die Cut Elements and Element Sticker Sheet.

I have followed the challenge guidelines with 

- at least 3 colours in my background - created with the awesome Colour Blast Artist Inks in Marine, Sunburn and Barley. 

I have just painted them on with a brush. They did their own blending as the colours joined. In some sections, I have splattered some water after the inks had dried to take out some of the colour

I have used embellishments...firstly a Kinder Kreations Lasercut Designs chipboard "Me & You" and I have also used some of the Die Cut Elements hearts as embellishments as well.

My song title/lyrics are from a Kenny Chesney song called "Me & You"

I have attempted to match my background with some of the patterns on the tags and papers. These were stamped using the top of a lid and then the patterning is drawn by free hand. I thoroughly enjoyed creating this background.

I have also used the Kaisercraft Clear Texture Stamp 'Texture Stains" with black Archival Ink in the background.

And of course, I have followed the theme of 'All About Love' scrapping one of my favourite photos of hubby and I.

Well, that is about all from me today.
Please don't forget to get your entries in for this months challenge - a great little prize is up for grabs, you have until February 28th to enter.

To enter: take a photo of your project and upload it to our Facebook page or to our blog. You can always send it through to Jo via email as well if Facebook or the blog don't work for you.

I can't wait to see what you come up with for the first challenge for the year at Scrapbookit.
