# Big Sister...

Good Morning!

I hope you are all having a weekend full of Scrapping.

I know I will be.

Here is my second layout for the month of March.

This month I have been lucky enough to work with the Photo Play Family Ties Paper range. My first layout in this range was mainly blues and browns so this time I have done a layout using some pink, peach and blues.

I have used a lot of the pattern papers to make up my background, I have then added some stickers from the sticker sheet and some bling in blue.

This picture was of my daughter on her Communion day, I think the little gold doves tie in nicely with this theme. I have Inked them with some embossing Ink then I have added some Zing Embossing Powder in Gold they are so beautiful and shiny.

I then used some Colour Blast Paste in Singing the Blues with my Ranger stencils.

I  stencilled some hearts in the corners with my Kaisercraft heart stencil and some White Gesso, dried this and then added some Tinby designs metallic melts in Pink Sorbet, I was super happy with the result I got from doing it this way.

All of my words have come from the letter sticker pack, to finish off my layout I sprinkled some Heidi Swapp colour shine in the Citron!

I think this finishes off the layout nicely.

Sea Breeze in July

Morning Everone,

How chilly are you this morning? I know it's winter but I have had enough rain,wind and snow for now. I guess the bonus is that it is perfect weather to stay indoors and keep busy crafting.

Today I am here to share my take on the July challenge using the 'Couture Creations' range 'Sea Breeze'.  Earlier in the year my kids were lucky enough to get a surf lesson at Apollo Bay, so I thought these photos were just perfect for these papers.

I have done lots of fussy cutting from one piece of the paper range,

added some thread (instead of ribbon) and some beads (instead of buttons)

I have added some stamped images and my texture background is by using the new Colour Crush Powders 'Basil' from Tinby Designs mixed with Gel Medium. I have used a Kaisercraft stencil which I thought fitted the wave theme.

  I hope you get a chance to play along with this great challenge this month, entries are due by July 30th.

Also due at the end of July are the deposits for our Scrapbookit Spring Retreat that is being held on October 7th-9th at the High Country Inn Bright. This will be a fantastic weekend filled with crafting, laughter and friendship. Don't miss out all details are at Scrapbookit Online Store.  

Happy Scrapping

Rustic Harmony

Morning everyone,
I'm back today to share my projects for this month. Firstly is my take on this month's sketch challenge, I have used the beautiful new release from Kaisercraft 'Rustic Harmony'. I have tipped the sketch on it's side to suit my photo. I have added lots of Manor House flower's, a Scrap FX title which I sprayed with Heidi Swapp Colour shine and then embossed it with the new 'Tinby Designs Metallic  Melts'  Sherwwod green. These new embossing powders are available in 12 colours and will be up in the store soon. I have used some of the Capture Life cards from Rustic Harmony and I used the new Kaisercraft Die cuts to create my vines, I added some new washi tape, a manilla tag inked with Distress inks and I'm pretty happy with it.

My next share is a project we did at the Reatailers day back in July in which Melissa Kennedy taught this class to show case this beautiful new paper range. We did both a 12x12 layout and a PL page.

Well that's it from me, dont forget to call back often to see what the team has to share this month. Lots of new products and ideas.

Have a great day

Jo Caird
