April Post #3

Hi Everyone,

Mel here to share with you the last of my projects for this month using some of the gorgeous products from Scrapbookit.

First of all though I need to remind you to ....

Make sure you get your entry in for this month's challenge - you still have 7 days to smash a project out and enter it in the challenge for your chance to be our next Guest Design Team Member!!!

The first project I am here to share with you is of 3 cards I have made using the left over scraps from the Simple Stories collection 'You Are Here' which I have been using this month.

They are nothing overly special but are quick and easy to make.

I need to get better at this but I always talk about finishing off a collection by making cards with the scraps rather than collecting the scraps in a folder for a later time! One day!

My second project is definitely more my style at the moment...texture and mess!

I have created this project to highlight the gorgeous colour of the Tangareen Dream Colour Paste by Colour Blast. 

I am not normally an orange sort of person but I love this!

This is one of my pages for my Kaiser Journal that I am working on this year.

I have used lots of different products to create this journal page...

Darkroom Door - Background Stamp - French Script, Kaiser Clear Stamp - Chevron, Archival Black Ink, Kaisercraft Quarters Stencil, Colour Blast - Colour Paste - Tangareen Dream and Steel, Kaiser Mists - Orange, Red, White, Turquoise and Charcoal, Washi Tape, doily, Simple Stories - You Are Here collection, My Year My Story collection (the quote), gauze and my homemade watercolours.

Here are some close ups...

Well that is all I have to share with you tonight and for this month. I have had lots of fun creating - thanks Jo for providing great product.
If you want to receive some great product from Jo be sure to get your entry in for this months challenge.

Look forward to sharing my projects for May with you soon, but before then make sure you pop back and check out what Jo has been creating!

You Are Here 2

Hi Everyone,

It is Mel back again to share with you another project that I have completed for this months challenge.

Don't forget to get your entry in! 

Tania has inspired us with a great sketch to use. 

All you need to do now is...create a project (layout, canvas, cards) using the sketch and incorporate your favourite place into the project.

Here is my layout...

and a few close ups...

Can you believe that I have used exactly the same paper collection as my last post?
Simple Stories - You Are Here is the collection. 

I just love collections that give you the opportunity to create a variety of different layouts.

For this layout I have also used some white gesso to dull the brightness of the background. I also faintly sprayed the background using the Kaiser Mist - Charcoal.

I have created a feature using the Deep Water Colour Blast Paste and have also added some Prima Mica Flakes - Frosted for a touch of texture.

I have used some rolled twine, black wire and Dusty Attic - Fish Net for my embellishments.

I have used the Cocoa Vanilla Free Spirit alphabet stickers for my title.

Look forward to seeing what you come up with for this challenge.

Don't forget to get that entry in.
