Rahni and Jackson.

Hello and welcome back to another layout here at Scrapbookit! I hope you have all recovered from your retreat hangovers and were able to complete lot's of Layout's at retreat.

I really missed not being able to go but I did manage to find a small amount of time to do some scrapbooking of my own.

The photo's I have used for this layout are some that are 11 year's old, I have been wanting to scrap them for a very long time but hadn't got around to it and I also hadn't had the right paper for them. I was very happy with how this layout turned out and was so glad that I finally had a layout with these photo's of my daughter Rahni and one of my best friend's little boy Jackson who were born 8 weeks apart.
Here's my layout!

I have used the Kaisercraft collection called Hide and Seek. This month I have used it on two very different layouts so it is very versatile.
I have started my layout off with some watered down tim holtz distress paint, I have then used some colour blast paste through my cute little heart stencil randomly all over the page.

 The rest of the page I have used a lot of the patterned paper and then embellished with the stickers from the collection as well as the collectible's.

To finish my layout I have added a quick doodly border and it's finished.

 Thanks so much for stopping by, Jo has a great challenge for us all next month so keep your eye out for more details at the start of the month.

Happy Scrapping Jane xxx

Fun times!

Hello!

My turn up on the blog this month, I had a lot of fun with this challenge and I cannot wait to see what everyone has come up! 

This is my take on Mel's challenge layout.

This month I have used the Kaisercraft collection called Hide and Seek. This range is such a gorgeous collection and I have used it in several different ways this month as you will see with my second layout a bit later on in the month! 

To start my layout I have used a piece of black card stock and then cropped

a piece of the patterned paper and stuck it down, I have used some Colour blast paste in envy and a Kaisercraft stencil to add some texture, I have cut out some circles using different paper in the collections to make some embellishments, I have also added some pieces out of the matching collectibles as well. 

 My title was from some Heidi Swapp stickers and I have also added some geometric shape chipboards which I have inked with some stayoz black ink and I have then added a layer of glossy accents over the top! I really love the shine that this gives the chipboard. 

I hope you have enjoyed my take on Mel's great challenge for this month, only a few weeks until retreat, I'm SO upset that I can't make it this time but my family commitments need to come first! 

I hope that you all have an enjoyable time and I look forward to seeing all of your crafty pages which can be uploaded onto our scrapbookit facebook page! 

I will be back later on in the month, until then happy scrapping

You and Me!

Hello and welcome to my second post for the month.

I have had a lot of fun with this layout once again using the 49 market cottage life paper pack.

Here is my Layout.

 I have started my layout by using a piece of the patterned cardstock and one of my Dylusions brick wall stencils and have then added some Ranger distress oxide in the colours Barn door and

Cracked pistachio. I layered lots of different patterned paper under my photo as well as using my die cutter machine and Kaisercraft die and placing these around the page as well.

I have fussy cut the ladder and some of the flowers from the patterned paper then added some cocoa vanilla flowers that were in my stash.

I still had some of the gorgeous Uniquely Creative lace butterflies left from the last layout so I added some of them to my page and fussy cut some butterflies out as well.

My little word stickers were also from an old cocoa vanilla range that I had.

So far this month we have some excellent entries which is so great to see.

Sweet Memory...

Hello!
 Spring has finally arrived and we have had some beautiful sunny days to get us all excited about the warmer weather that is to come! Springtime in my opinion is the best season of the year.

I'm very much looking forward to some more sunshine and longer days.

I have been lucky enough this month to set the Scrapbookit September Challenge, I hope that you all enjoy what I have come up with. I have found a mood board which is pictured below that you can take inspiration off in any way that you would like, it could be that you use butterflies that you have chosen off the mood board or you use circles or flowers on your layout that have been inspired from the mood board or that you just do a layout using some of the colours provided on the mood board. The possibilities are endless and a whole lot of fun!

I have also added a few extra criteria these are to:

*Use the Mood board provided(pictured above).

*Use the word LOVE somewhere on your layout.

*Use a mixed media element.

*Use some fussy cutting.

Easy right?? This is what I have come up with. I have actually used my challenge criteria not just for a layout but also for a 90th Birthday card I made for my husband's Grandma.
I will start with the card first.
I began using a plain white square card, I embossed it using a Kaisercraft embossing folder, added some Ranger distress oxide on Barn door, spritzed it with water then used some paper towel to mop the excess water off. I love the effect this gives to the paper, I then used the Uniquely Creative script font die and added it to my background.

This month I have been lucky enough to use this beautiful 49 Market Cottage life paper collection, normally I would have a lot of trouble using this type of paper but I actually really enjoyed using it and I am very happy with the results on my card and layout!

 I have fussy cut an image from the paper, added some Uniquely Creative flowers as well as some Kaisercraft pearls and a Kaisercraft clear sticker, then to finish my card I have added this beautiful lace butterfly. It is absolutely gorgeous and really goes with this paper range.

Next for my challenge layout!

As I have said above I have started my layout using a patterned piece of paper from the 49 market cottage life paper range, I added some stencilling with a Kaisercraft lace border stencil and some Ranger distress oxide in Barn door.


In following the challenge criteria I have used the word 'LOVE' several times on my layout, fussy cut A LOT of flowers, my mixed media element was the stencilling and the inspiration I have taken from the mood board was the butterfly's and the flowers.

Once again I have used the gorgeous lace  butterfly's from the Uniquely Creative range as well as some of their flowers! The wooden chippie I have used is from Scrap fx and is called celebration of hearts, I have used the same barn door distress oxide on it and added some Ranger Glossy Accents over the top as well. My photo's are backed using some of the patterned paper as well as the layers of paper underneath it. To finish my layout I have added a doodle border and a Kaisercraft clear sticker over the pile of flowers that I fussy cut out.

 

I hope that you have enjoyed my layout, all of the products used on this page are available from www.scrapbookitshop.com.au head on over to Jo's online shop and see what she has to offer!

I look forward to seeing what you all come up with!
Happy Scrapping

Hello Beautiful Girl!

Hello

My turn back up on the blog this month, I have had a lot of fun creating this layout.

Here it is.

I started this layout by using a sheet of Kaisercraft Black Cardstock, I have then used my circle punch and punched a whole lot of circles using the  Echo Park Imagine That paper pad.
I randomly glued them down over half of the page, I then used some ColourBlast Paste in Bling with a Kaisercraft heart stencil.

The title was from some little diecuts that I had in my stash, I also punched some tiny hearts and scattered them around the page and I have also added some cute little flowers from Uniquely Creative.

I also decided when making this layout that I would make a little secret journaling space which you can see below.

 

I hope you have enjoyed this layout today, we have had a few entries this month for our challenge which is great! These entries can be viewed on our Facebook page in the August Challenge Album.


Next month I'm up again with an exciting challenge for the month, I cannot wait to share it with you all!
Until then Happy Scrapping

Imagine!

Good Morning!

I have a ripper of a layout for you all to start the month off. In following Jo's challenge which is anything to do with the word Imagine. When I heard what the challenge was going to be I just knew that I had to use this picture of my daughter Rahni taken whilst we were away in QLD recently.

I have made a very busy layout with a lot of products BUT I am very happy with the final result and I think it all works!

 Here's my Layout.

To begin I used some Kaisercraft white cardstock, using the packaging technique I have used some Dylusions Rose Quartz and Bubble-gum

Pink ink spray which I randomly smooshed (haha is that even a word) all over the page, I then used a Darkroom Door Arty Circles stencil with some Dylusions Peony blush paint and randomly placed these circles over the top of the ink. Some splatters of Tim Holtz Tarnished Brass Distress Spray Stain and also some of the Heidi Swapp Mint Color Shine and my background was finished.

 

The paper I have used behind the photo was Echo Park Imagine That, I randomly cut circles out freehand and glued them mostly just in the middle part of the page. I added some doodles over the top of some of the circles and around the edge of the page.

How cool is that striped Washi I have used sporadically around the page? its kind of hard to see but it has the cutest little gold pineapples on it. Just adorable. It came in a pack of four from Creative PL.

For my Imagine chippy which is from The Dust Attic I used some Ranger blendable dye ink in Garden Patina, I then added some Gold Metallic Gilding Wax over the top, I REALLY love the effect this has given the chippy.

To finish my Layout I have added some cute little hearts that I have punched with my tiny heart punch and added the quote up the top which I love and I think was very appropriate for the photo and the theme!

Another day in Paradise!

Hi, I'm back, sharing with you another  layout I have done using the Simple Stories Travel Note paper collection. This collection is really great to use on some of those holiday pics you have yet to scrap. The colours in the range are really versatile and easy to work with. 

 To begin my layout I have layered a variety of the patterned papers and added some stickers and cutouts from the collection.
I have added some doodling on some of the stickers as well as around the edge of my layout.
For my title I have used a whole lot of tiny word stickers then for the Paradise word which is a The Dusty Attic chip board, I have applied a coat of Creative Expressions Metallic Gilding wax in Ultramarine then applied some Ranger Glossy Accents over the top to give me a shiny finish. 

Do you have your entry in yet for our monthly challenge? We would love to see as many as we can get this month. 
I have had a lot of fun creating my layouts this month, I hope you have enjoyed seeing them and that they have given you some inspiration.
Seeyou all next month with an exciting challenge that Jo has set for us all.
