'Tis the season once again 🎄

 Ok creative types, this is it - the onslaught of all things Christmas 😂

Behind the picture you can see some lovely music sheet paper - you can order sheets of these from scrapmatts along with all your favourite chipboards 💚

In the end thought, the hero of this layout is the gorgeous string circle and holly combo... 

It comes on this generous A4 sheet:

I also got the cute word 'love' from the same set, then I inked them with gold and tied it all together by inking gold stars on the back ground of the sheet as well.

Then to finish off I grabbed some glimmer pearl liquid that I had in my stash and used this beautiful  stencil to guide some simple background flourishes around the edges of my embellishments.

For this next layout I managed to dig up some good old fashioned holographic star confetti 

pieces to help bling it up a bit. 

 

Love how this one turned out with more of those montage creations music sheets off-setting my very special family photo ... not to mention a few of those wonderful scrap words scattered about the place to really set the mood.

And of course this fabulous chipboard title ... 

you can't beat a good chipboard title that suits your theme to a tee! 👌

This time I used this flourish background stencil and ink to bring the red into the background as a kind of frame for the main action in the centre of the page. 

And last, but not least I have a special little Christmas card to share...

This card was made using the String Circles Holly chipboards and a beautiful reindeer chippie...

I got the reindeer chipboards in the white mist finish and just covered it with 

a layer of crystalina kindy glitz.

And of course the montage creations background music sheets were perfect for this card...

Along with some more of the scrap words inked with red:

And thats it from me for another month ... thanks for popping by for a visit.

Cheers,

Beach Babes

This summer will be filled with trips to the beach for our family ... its one of our favourite ways to spend a day - so as you might imagine I end up with millions of beach themed photos!

In order to try and keep my albums fresh I'm always trying to come up with ideas for beachy layouts that don't necessarily have the blue/sea shell/lighthouse etc themes central to them. Here are a couple i came up with recently...

Using this stencil allowed me to pull in the exact colours I was after on this layout.

 

... you can't go wrong with anything leafy and tropical on beach pages.

And of course some times you end up with beach photos that have none of the common costal colours in them just the sandy tones ... this is my attempt to work with that kind of image...

Sun sets and dark silhouettes work perfectly together!

Raw chipboard is the perfect base colour to blend with sandy scapes.

 

I love this template for sandy pages - because it fully reminds me of the little balls of sand that crabs roll onto the beach each day ( as a kid I would love to collect them, doing my best to pick them all up without breaking them lol)💛

Here I've used both black ink and a white pen to make a messy ball pattern on the page.

I hope there is some inspiration in that lot for your own beach pages xo
