Imagine 7Dots studio

Good Morning everyone,

Happy Sunday .

I just dropped by to share my last layout for the month with the great range 'Cotton Candy' from 7 Dots studio.

Even though it's sort of a grungy range I still love that you can do girls pages. 

With a few pieces of chipboard and some 'Darkroom door' stamps my page was done. 

I hope your weekend is going great, we had a great crop day yesterday, thanks to the girls that travel to share this day.

Mel will be back tomorrow to share some more awesome scrapping for the month, you still have time to get your entries in for the challenge.

Happy Scrappying

March Challenge

Good Morning everyone and welcome to March.

Well it has come time for me to set a challenge and I'm excited to see how you interpret the elements of this fun challenge.

So firstly it's 'ALL ABOUT THE BOYS' this month so your project must focus on the males in our lives. I also want you to add some metallic bits, some raw products (eg cardboard, hemp, cork, string) and add a rustic element.

Okay I hope you have fun with this challenge. 

Here is my take on the challenge. This month I am creating with this awesome paper range from 

 7 Dots Studio  'Cotton Candy Dreams'.

Using the photos of my boy's year six graduation I have added lots of silver elements. The metal die cuts are a Kaisercraft die using 'Spell Binders' A Guilded Life metal sheets, I raided my stash of silver bits and have added some 'Matisse Structure' paint through the new Kaisercraft Mini template 'Woven'. 

 This range also comes with  sticker sheet's and tag sheet's which go so well with your pages. I have also added some hemp string. I also added some dimension with some Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic paint 'Night' to create my circle and added to the flowers.

For my title I have used some corrugated cardboard letter that I sprayed with Distress Ink 'brushed pewter, added a touch of Lindy's Stamp Gang Spray 'Tibetan Poppy Teal' and some Colour Blast Paste 'Dusty Charcoal' to give it a rusted Patina look.

Well I hope I have given some idea's for the challenge and you join us this month. Don't forget you can add your entry from your blog via our InLinkz button, you can email your entry to joanne@scrapbookit.com.au or you can put it up on our Facebook page.

All entries go into our challenge and you could be the lucky winner of a wonderful prize pack.

Entries close March 30th.

Happy Scrapping

AUGUST CHALLENGE REVEAL!

Good morning!

AUGUST - Wow! Where has this year gone?

Today is the first day of the last month of winter here in Australia...some of us are happy about that we can not wait for this cold weather to be over.

No matter what the weather, wherever you are, there is no reason not to participate in this months challenge here at Scrapbookit.

I am lucky enough to be the first cab off the rank this month. I know, unusual that I am ready to go but thought I would give Jo a little beginning of the month rest.

So this month we are sharing with you some of the new Kaisercraft Collections.

As you know we both went to the Kaisercraft Retailers Days. This month is the first of what we saw while we were there.

We have decided to get a little MESSY this month. Our challenge is all about M.

All you need to do is create a project that covers the following M words...

*Masculine

* Memories

* Mists

Here is what I have created...

I started with a regular piece of cardboard that I got as packaging when I purchased an appliance.

Just as we did in Jo's class at the retreat in March, I stripped back some of the card to uncover the corrugated section.

I then distress inked with Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Walnut Stain.

I then used the Kaisercraft Template - Cogs and some mists to add to my background.

I used the Tim Holtz Distress Spray - Antiqued Bronze and the Colour Bloom - Antique Gold Mist.

In the bottom right hand corner of the photo I have used the Kaisercraft Tic Toc Clear Stamp. I have used some of the Tim Holtz Distress Embossing Powder - Vintage Photo.

I really like this embossing powder when creating masculine layouts....it leaves a really rough texture.

I have used one of the newest collections by Kaisercraft this month and for this layout. I have used some of the papers and the collectables.

It is called Time Machine!

I just love it. It is so easy to work with and I really love using it for those masculine pages. 

I generally say that I am "not a green person" but I actually love the green in this range.

This collection is a MUST have in everyone's scrappy stash. 

Anyway, I hope you have enjoyed my latest using the gorgeous Kaisercraft Time Machine.

Don't forget you have got to be in it to win it...

Make sure your M inspired project is uploaded or emailed to Jo before the end of the month (August 30th is the closing date).

I will be back later in the month to share some more of my Time Machine projects...until then make sure you pop back in later this week and check out the gorgeous work Jo has been creating.

Happy August 1st!
