Family

During March Words or Whatever sent out some

chipboard to all that applied, to take part in 

WOW Triple Treat.

I wish I took a photo of the gorgeous goodies

before I used them but didn't think at the time.

We received a scalloped frame, the word # Family

and a couple of hearts.

And here's what I came up with.

I removed the middle piece from the frame and 

embossed the outside which I have then used to frame

this tiny photo.

I can't believe I got a photo of myself and my  7 brothers and sisters all in that little frame. Too cool!

For the title and hearts I embossed with a red powder and then again with gold.

 The gorgeous stamp I have used is another

Carabelle stamp that I got from Time to Create.

I gots new stamps!

I have just had the most awesome weekend. I ventured off to my first Paperific where as one of this years Scrapbooking Memories Masters, we were invited to display some of our work.

OMG!  It was awesome and so so strange to  see people looking and talking about my pages. But I loved it!! 

I also had the amazing pleasure of spending time

with these awesome ladies,  some of my fellow Masters,

 Alz Callcott (one of my BFFs), Tracey Fowler,

 Michelle Logan and Fiona Paltridge.

Total awe of my company on the weekend.

There are links to all the ladies blogs at the top 

right, go check out their fabulousness.

So that brings me to this page and my new stamps. Plus a 6 am morning, a need to get crafty and a want to have a new page to add to the lot I was displaying.
Ohh and my fabulous new stash of Carabelle Studio  stamps that I stumbled across at Time to Create. And I stumbled upon them again a few days later and then again last week, and probably  will just happen to stubble across some more again next week ...I have a problem
They're freakin awesome!!

We spied this kookaburra when we

were in Marysville.

I have used 2 different stamps on my background

here with black embossing powder.

Adore, D-lish Scraps

Today my page features one of my nephews,

the cutie Xander.

I started my page with a little random stamping.

Then I have coloured some crackle texture paste to

use with one of my favourite Scrap FX stencils.

I love the look of the crackle pastewith this.

I also wanted to bring in a little yellow to the background.

For this I have done a some water colouring with

a Gelato.

The photo cluster on this page is made up of

3 photos exactly the same, layered on some 

Coloured Wire and Hand Dyed Muslin which I

have torn around the edges.

I also coloured the cute chipboard word

with Gelatos, this time just blending it with my

fingers.

I kept the them of the chevrons going by using
some Pinkfresh Studio Enamel Chevrons.

I chose to use a couple of different types of 
Washi Tape.
See in the above photo and the one below, how the
Washi is curled a little and not sticking to the page.
I did this by sticking my Washi to my craft mat a few
times to take away some of the stickyness.
The way it curls gives the film tape a nice natural
look.

My page has been finished off with a cluster of
Hand Dyed Muslin, Pinkfresh Studio veneers, a
Freckled Fawn paper clip and a Flair Button.

Thanks for stopping by.
Hope you've been inspired!

Life is Good, D-lish Scraps

I am so excited to be part of the D-lish Scraps 

team for another term.

My first share for April includes a photo with

a fabulous group of ladies and was screaming for a

bit of pink and glitter.

I started my page by stamping the butterflies

down the middle and colouring with water colour

pencils.

I grunged them up a little by adding splatters and 

masked some gorgeous glitter paste around them.

My photo has been layered with a Gold Stripe

Bag which I have folded and a Scrap FX Scribble

Rectangle.

Also tucked amoung my photo cluster is little 

pieces of Hand Dyed Muslin.

The cluster on the left is of some washi tape,

an awesome Pinkfresh Studio Up in the Clouds

Wood bead and die cuts and a Pick 'n' Place

Organza Dot Bow.

The Life is Good banner, Snapshot die cut and the 

arrow and tag above all come from this

super awesome pack from Pinkfresh Studio.

If you click on the picture below it will take you

right to the page with all the other gorgeous things

from the Up in the Clouds collection.

See how cool a bit of torn up muslin looks.

It's fabulous for adding extra colour as well as texture.

My page has been finished off with a few resin

flowers and a pretty little Floral Cabochon.

I will be back tomorrow sharing a page featuring

 one of my nephews.

7 Dots Studio, Find some Colour

This is my entry for the March/April challenge at 7 Dots Studio.

The theme is Nature.

The photo I have chosen to use is from our recent

mini break to Marysville.  It's been 6 years since

the devastating Black Saturday fires and although

there is green all around the gorgeous town, the evidence

of the fires are still visible.

The paper I have used is from the 

7 Dots Studio Destination Unkown collection.

Typical with my style, I have added different textures with stencils, tapes, beads and pearls.

Some crackle paste was added to the piece of chipboard.

♥

I use Whipped Spackle with my stencil and colour

it with Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals.

The Element Sticker that I have used as my title 

is a from the Thoughts Keeper Collection.

It says, try to find some colour in this black and white world.

I trimmed it down and added little sticker off cuts

to make it fit into the bookplate.

The cute little resin flowers and the washi tape 

are from my fave place, D-lish Scraps ♥
