Happy New Year

Hello and welcome to my first post for 2017.

I hope you all had a great New Year and that you have found time to be creative.

Today I would like to share with you my latest DT project for Scrapmatts.

"Look At Me Now"

This page has been designed with Authentique "Felicity" papers, 45 and Market flowers and fabulous chipboard from Scrapmatts.

I really love these papers and the CB4007 Frame was a perfect fit for my photo. 

I coloured all the chipboard with Gold Ink. 

I then embellished with flowers and used collectables from my stash to match the papers.

I added the title from CB6116 Words. These were great as they came pre-coloured in black.

Look @ me now words from CB6116 Words 29

Always Smiling Word is from CB1241 Scrap Words

For the second page I wanted to frame my photo's, so I found the CB4017 Picket Fence was just the right fit. 

The photo's were taken last year in Bali on our Scrapbook Retreat on the rooftop of our hotel which had a garden. So I wanted my layout to have that summer garden feel. So picket fences, flowers and butterflies seemed appropriate.

I also felt great as by the time these photo's were taken, I had lost 38kgs. So I was feeling fabulous.

Picket fence is from CB4017

This scroll is from CB4063 Leaf Spray

The butterflies are from the CB4007 Frames

Here is a list of the products used.

Ho Ho Holy Christmas....

 Ho Ho Holy Christmas....

 I can't believe that we are only 10 days from Christmas and fast approaching the New Year.

Hello again. 

Are we all organised for Christmas? 

This month really is the silly season. I have been so busy with work, Christmas parties, appointments, market stalls that I haven't had much time to create. 

So it was nice to finally get into my craft space and design.

The first of my projects I would like to share with you is a mini clipboard.

I started by covering with Christmas paper. I think from memory this is a Simple Stories range.

 It's been in my Christmas stash for some time.

 I then used the ST5042 Star Stencil to add some detail to the background.

With the CB5158 Triangles, I pulled them apart, painted them with Picket Fence Distress Paint and added to them to the background. 

When I look at these they resemble Christmas Trees.

 To finish off the clipboard, I attached the CB5164 Holly 05 to the top of the frame and added a CB5144 Layered Poinsettia to the bottom of the frame.

 The gold Polaroid frame came with the mini clipboard.

 To colour the Poinsettia and Holly I used my alcohol ink markers and to give the sparkly effect, I used my glitter pen from CTMH.

 To finish off the frame I used the CB Assorted Words 19 - Christmas Memories. 

This was inked in Silver.

 The picture is of my daughter from a couple of years ago when we had photo booth props to take Christmas pics.

Here is a list of the products used in this project

CB5144 - Layered Poinsettia's 01

 

CB6097 - Assorted Words 19

CB5164 - Holly 05

CB5158 - Triangles 03

ST5042 - Stencil Stars

The second project I would like to share with you is a set of 3 Christmas Cards.

 To create these cards I have used watercolour pencils, background stamp, ST1026 - Bubbles Stencil and CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments and CB1229 - Chains

 

Firstly using watercolour paper, take the stencil and colour inside the circles in your desired colours.

Then take your watercolour pen and water wash the colours.

Then stamp the background.

I then added a border with my black marker pen.

 

   

 I used the CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments and the CB1229 - Chains 02 to decorate.

Some I have left raw and the others I have inked in Gold and Silver.

 I love how these have turned out and they were quick and easy.

These are the products I have used to create these cards

 ST1026 - Circles Stencil

CB1227 - Christmas Ornaments 13

CB1229 - Chains

Ahoy There

 Ahoy There Me Hearties!!!

Wow I can't believe that we are in November already. This year really has gone way too quickly. 

I hope your Christmas plans are coming together....mine haven't even started!!

I have had time to do a little scrapbooking and this is my latest project that I would like to share with you all.

This layout features photo's from a cruise my husband and I took last year through South East Asia with Princess Cruises.

The wheel was the perfect frame for our photo.

I have also used the CB6095 - Assorted Words 18.

With these clusters of collectables I have used the CB6071 - Assorted Words 07 for the titles.

 The lighthouse, compass, life ring and steering wheel (sorry don't know the technical term) are from the CB4059 - Nautical Designs 03 set.

To create this look on the background I have used the ST1016 - Tyre Track Stencil.

These are the chipboard pieces I have used on my layout.
