Hazy Days 7 Dots Studio

Good morning and welcome to Scrapbookit,

today is the last post for October and there is so many exciting things happening.

So grap a cuppa and join in the fun.

Firsly I just wanted to share a couple more layouts that I created at our retreat at the start of the month. This month I am using 7 Dots Studio range 'Hazy Days', I love the grungy look of this range but it has been a beautiful background for my daughters Deb photo's.

I have used Colourblast paste 'Bling' through a Tim Holtz stencil, added a FWAB peasrl flourish, some Green Tara beautiful lace and from my stash I found some Martha Stewart paper flower. The title is from 2Crafty which I sprayed with a Kaisercraft mist.


 I wish you could see the beautiful shimmer of the ColourBlast paste's on this page, they are just perfect. Sienna, Bling, Leather and Deep Water are the colours I have used.

I have added some Indigo Blu stamps to the background and some of the diecuts and stickers that come with this range. Love this photo of our catch up with my 18 year old xx.

Prima - Wild and Free

Good morning,

Wow how chilly is it this morning, I hope you are all staying warm on this sunday morning?

I'm back today to share a couple of projects I have done this month using the Prima 'Wild and Free' range designed by Frank Garcia, this paper pad has so many beautiful papers in it.

 I just loved playing with these photos of my grandaughter, and this paper was so soft and feminine. I have used the new Darkroom Door Stencil 'Mesh' to put my ColourBlaste paste 'Punch' through and have added lots of the 'Punch' shimmer watercolour over my doily and in the background. I also used the Distress Oxide ' worn lipstick'  The chipboard is from Kinder Kreations which I sprayed with Kaisercraft spray, and the sticker is also from kaisercraft.

This is my second page I did with this range, and just love the subtle butterflies.The stencil I have used for my Colourblast paste 'Punch & Blush' is from Dina Wakeley 'Faces. I have added some more Punch watercolour behind my photo. Some FWAB pearls and Green Tara flowers and I was done.

Finder's Keeper's

Welcome to Monday everyone,

I'm here today to share my take on the March challenge Mood Board by Delsie.

This month I am creating with a new release from Kaisercraft called 'Finder's Keeper's and I am just loving it. In my layout I have used the Gloss sheet and some collectables.  I have added a flourish  of FWAB pearls and I have coloured them with my copics to suit the colours on my page.

I have Gessoed over the colours in the background just to mute them a little and used a Kaisercraft Die to cut the frame around the bike. I have used the word 'Cherish' and my title is the Heidi Swapp Minc letters.

I hope you have some ideas to help with your entries, I am looking forward to seeing what you all come up with for the challenge. Don't forget entries can be uploaded yoyrself or you can email them to joanne@scrapbookit.com.au.

Mel will be back in soon to share here projects, until then have a great week.

August Challenge is Up!!

Welcome everyone to another month and another challenge,

This month it's my turn to challenge your creativity so i thought I would try something a bit different.

This is a TIC TAC TOE challenge where you  must choose a line combination from the grid to create the elements of your project. ( You can also add other elements from the grid as well but you must comment which line you have used). I hope you have fun playing along. Entries need to be in by 30th August to be in the running for a massive prize pack so hit your stash or purchase something new to play with.

So I have created two layouts to show how this challenge can be interpreted in totally different ways. All the design team have been given a kit this month using papers from the same 'Pebbles' 12x12 Birthday Paper pad which is available at Scrapbookit.

My first page I have chosen the 1st column Teal, Journaling, and  Flowers. So I haven't actually journaled in a traditional sense but I have used the 'Captured Moments Sea Breeze' stickers from Kaisercraft,, I have made lots of paper flowers and some Kaisercraft Blooms which I coloured with some Colour Mist to suit. Added some washi tape and stamped flowers to finish it off.

 My second page I chose Bling, Texture, and Black& White. I have added texture with the Kaisercraft stencil ,modelling paste and black Gesso, FWAB Flourish and flower, washi tape, I have added a 'Scrap FX ' Word title, and cut the chevron embellishment from 'Tim Holtz' die. I also added some 'Manor House flowers

Just a reminder that the 'Scrapbookit Retreat' is happening again (you know you want a fabulous weekend away) on October 24th-26th at the Mountain View Holiday Resort Harrietvile. Deposits must be paid by the 30th August to secure your spot so get on to it .


Have a great weekend, and get crafty

Jo.
