Rock CLimb - Layout

 ROCK CLIMB

As I was having so much fun with the splatter technique and decided to do another layout this time of my youngest son when we went bush bashing.

We stopped to have a look around and found a great spot for some rock climbing and yes off he went.  My son is the adventurous one always getting into everything.  We saw lots of waterfalls throughout the rocks as well.  Was a great day.

I decided to just splatter a sheet of cardstock and then run it through my bigshot with the circles die.

 

Thanks for stopping by and having a look.

Let me know what you think by leaving me a comment.

I just love reading them

 

Scrapbook layout - Smile

S.M.I.L.E

Here is a layout I have done of my eldest son at his 20th Birthday Party.

I used the colours to compliment his cake that was made by a very good friend (Thank you Jamie).

I have done a couple of techniques on this page, one being the splatter which has given me the background, the other is the stitch effect around the outside. For my candles I have used Washi tape which I think turned out really nice.  The red flames do have a trace of yellow around them as well.

 

Below is a close up of the splatter and you can see the yellow around the flames abit better here as well.

Thanks for stopping by and comments are always welcome.

WOW A challenge Card with New Products

More New Products and

Just Add Ink Challenge #151 - Any Shape

 

It really is exciting.  Isn't it?  With the launch of the New Mini Catalogue and all the wonderful new products.  I have been crafting away.  When I saw this product in the catty I just knew I had to have it.  I am always on the look out for new dies to go in my Bigshot Machine and this one is just great.

I was checking out the Just Add Ink website and oh lucky for me they have a challenge this week which is "Any Shape".  So I thought I would use this card to enter the challenge.  Don't forget to pop over to the Just Add Ink website for some more different shape cards and the Design Team have put up some great cards.

Here I have used the Card Base Pop n Cuts (130099). The Dress Form Pop n Cuts (130100) and the Framelits Dies Dress Up (130101).  All though making this card is very easy with the dies, its all about the finishes touches.

I have used on this card.  Starting with my base colour of Marina Mist, with Very Vanilla for the layers.  Circle Scallop Punch and Circle Punch.  Rhinestones, and Crochet Trim.  For the Dress I used some retired Designer Series paper. The flowers on the top of the card are also made with new products, Creped Filter Paper (129393)

 

This is the back of the card when folded.  I placed another circle over the back where the dress has been cut out and placed my sentiment which is a stamp set available through our Sale-a-bration promotion Vintage Verses (129633c).  You can get this set for FREE with every $100 order.

I would like to say thank you for stopping by and any comment is greatly appreciated.

My Gorgeous Girl

Loving my time at my craft desk at the moment.  With all these new products which can be purchased from tomorrow it has really got my creativity running wild.

In the catalogue Stampin up have released an Embellishment Kit and boy does this kit make things easy for any new scrapper.  All you have to do is add the paper and let your mind run wild.

I have done a double page layout with just one kit and I hope you like it.

 As you can see by the layouts, everything used is all in the one kit.  The paper was the only extra thing I used that didn't come with the kit.

Here I have used some very early photos of my daughter Zoe and the layouts just highlight the photos.  Gotta love my pooh bear!

Thanks for stopping by and any comment is greatly received

Scrapbook Layout

Here is a page of my daughter Zoe holding her medal she won

in the Maths Olympiads in 2011.

A very amazing achievement as she got all 25 questions correct, she was one

of the 297 students that did out of 29 275

This score put her in the top 1.01%

Well done Zoe you should be proud

 

Been having a play

 BEEN PLAYING

Well finally got some time and inspiration to sit down and have a play with some new products.  I know I said I will be posting a card soon with some of the new products available but, really wanted to show you these.
If you have seen a copy of our new Holiday Catalogue lately you might like me have gone wow with the front cover.  There is a gorgeous Christmas Ornament on the front page and I really wanted to give it a shot.  So although a little different this is my take on it.

 I have used some of the old Christmas Designer Series Paper for this one.  Instead of stamping the ornaments I have just cut them out with the Holiday Ornament Framelits Dies, added some Cherry Cobbler Twine and the new Scalloped Tulle Ribbon in early espresso.  Not bad for a first go but will be working on some more real soon.
If you do like this Die and Stamp set, a great way to purchase is in the Bundle which will save you 15% on buying them separately.  Other Bundles are also available in the Holiday Catalogue so keep an eye out for them.  Always nice to save a little.

This one here is Designer Rosette Bigz XL Die, which I just love, so easy to make a flower for a card or scrap page.  Again so many more things you can do with this one.
