It's December

Good Morning

 and welcome to Scrapbookit for our December challenge.

Well are you getting into the Christmas spirit?? The DT girls have shared some great idea's and I'm here today to share my take on Jane's Christmas challenge. Gee when I went looking for Christmas photo's I found I didn't have to many so I am going to make sure this year I get the camera clicking because it really is a wonderful time of the year to make memories.

I found up these adorable photo's of ,My Rudolph',  this month I am using papers from the 6x6 paper pad from Couture creations 'Highland Christmas' by Sue Smyth. I have started with my white background, not that much of it is left showing. 

Using a Kaisercraft stencil I have added lots of stars and baubles with the Nuvo mousse.  My tree was a lovely gift from one of my card class ladies and I have matted my photo's with some tissue paper. Some cute stamps and Heidi Swapp letters finished off the page just right.

I also created a really grungy Christmas layout that I wanted to share.

Starting with a white background I have used my Geli plates to create my background. Its a bit hard to share the true colours and textures but there is lots of reds, golds and greens. The stars are actually navy and the baubles are silver. I have used some Nuvo Glitter paste to add the saying ' The possibility of a miracle Believe'. Some Kaisercraft wooden embellishments and 2Crafty chipboard around my patterned paper.  Again my title is from the Heidi Swapp letters. 

Here's hoping you are getting organised for the Big day and get a little time to join in our challenge, you could be in the running for a $30 voucher to top up your craft supplies.

Happy Scrapping

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.

Be Kind Always..

Hello and welcome!

I have a cracker of a Layout to show you today.

I used A LOT of products and techniques in this layout and I am really happy with the way it has turned out! Here's my Layout.

 

I have started with a sheet of Kaisercraft White Cardstock, applied a layer of white Gesso and then had some fun with my Tim Holtz Distress Inks which I randomly applied to my paper using the packaging technique. I then used some black Ranger Ink and went a little CRAZY stamping all over the top of my distress ink with several different flower stamps.

I also added a few clear stickers out of my stash and some Kaisercraft clear Butterfly stickers.

I then added some Colour Blast Colour Paste in Rose Petal through a Kaisercraft Butterfly stencil.

Have you tried the Colour Blast Paste's??? I think they are one of my most Favourite products ever!! Jo @ www.scrapbookit.com.au has all of the different colours in stock so hop onto her online shop and have a look. I can highly recommend them.

Next I layered my paper sheets from the Photo Play paper seeds of kindness range and I made some little handmade embellishments out of the paper as well which I have stuck down in a few different clusters on the page. The little pink and purple fence under the photo is actually a Couture Creations Intricutz die which I cut out using the purple paper then attached the pink paper to the back just to make it stand out a bit more and give it a different effect!

I have randomly added a few clusters of purple cotton, some little gold hearts that I punched out and added the grey Flair which is from an old Cocoa Vanilla Range.

On the top left  corner I have added a little Journaling pocket with some hidden journaling inside which I think adds a nice little effect.

I finished my page off using a roller date stamp and then some doodling around the border.

Have you thought about coming to our Spring Retreat in Bright?? Its such a Fantastic weekend away and is sure to be so much Fun...

I look forward to seeing you all there!

I hope that you have enjoyed my very BUSY layout and I look forward to seeing everyone's challenge entries for the month.

Happy Scrapping Jane xx

December is here!!

Good Morning everyone and welcome to our last challenge for the year.

I know it's a busy time of the year but hey sometimes we just need to take some 'Me' time and spend some time creating. What better way than to join our challenge and you could be our lucky winner of a great prize pack.

This month I have set a fun challenge:

Your project must include the minimum of the following, 5 squares, 4 Buttons, 3 Flowers 2 Arrows and 1 Circle.

I have been creating with the Creative Concepts 'Wild and Free' range and I couldn't go past these photo's of my Grandaughters at their visit to the Zoo. 

To create my backgroud I have used a Kaiser stencil and mixed some Colour Crush 'Basil' with some gel medium to create my vine leaves. My title is a Heidi Swapp 'Minc' word, and my arrows are a Scrap FX chipboard pc. My buttons I made and added some twine for the jungle feel. The flowers are a mixture of Green Tara and Kaisercraft.

Here is another simpler layout I did using my Curio machine for cutting my title and a Kaisercraft Die for the vines.

I hope you come join us for this months challenge, entries can be uploaded in the side bar or yo can email me a picture joanne@scrapbookit.com.au. Entries will close on December 30th.

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
