Graffitti Artists.

Graffitti Artists

Another layout of my Son and Daughter.  I just love this photo.  Its not often I can get them together and looking good to capture a photo.  But this one is a real favorite of mine.

This is a very simple layout as not many layers, but I think it turned out rather good.  The photo is perfect for it.


 A close up of the photo.  Aren't they just gorgeous...

 Thanks for stopping by

Another Journal

Another Journal

Here is another journal I managed to get done last night.  Its amazing how you start off with something in mind, but the end result isn't really what you thought of first.  The amount of times whenever I am doing either a card, layout or off the page project how things change as you go along.  Not to mention the amount of papers, embellishments that end up in the waste bin.

Don't forget you can purchase these Journals from me, just send me an email with colours of you choice.


The bottom is a close up of some of the detail


 Thanks for looking

Sweet - layout

S.W.E.E.T

Another layout of my lovely daughter.  I left the chipboard pieces raw.  I have used a paper napkin for my roses.

  Love this photo of my Daughter.

 

A Journal



REVAMPED JOURNAL

I have a few Journals in my stash and decided that it was time to give them a new look.  These are really great gifts to give that special some one.  Nana, Teacher or just your BFF.

 I have used the new Empire Cardstock from Kaisercraft, most of the other items were from my stash.

Would you like one of these.  I do take orders.  If you would like one all you need to do is email me with the colour scheme you would like and leave the rest to me.

Cheers
Karen

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
