A2Z guest design spot

Hi there!  So begins another week…

I'd like to share with you 3 layouts I did for a guest design spot with A2Z Scraplets.  They have some awesome chipboard available.  You can find their chipboards by clicking here.

First up is a layout I did of me when I was only 10 weeks old.

Close up of the chipboard.  For "Baby Girl" I embossed it using Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel.  It has such an awesome shabby effect with flecks of pink, white & gold.

And for the flourish, I simply gave it a good coat of Glimmermist.

Saturday night share, just because...

Hello again!

Well after a big day shopping with Miss 16 for semi formal shoes, bag & hair accessories, it's nice to have a quiet evening.  Gives me a chance to update my blog.  

Tonights share is a 'just because' page that I did last week.  I fell in love with the papers and couldn't wait to play with them!  

The photo of hubby, Miss 16 & myself was taken many moons ago - I think Miss 16 was only Miss 14 months at the time of the photo.  

I did a bit of fussy cutting on this layout….the large paper doily was fussy cut out of a larger piece of paper.  I fussy cut the corner flower flourishes in 3 of the corners of the layout and attached them with mounting tape to create depth.

The signpost chipboard was spritzed with mist and then generously coated with Crackle paint, while the wordlet, 'together' was simply left bare!

Products used:

Paper - Pion Design

Chipboard - A2Z Scraplets & ScrapFx wordlet

Flowers - Kaisercraft, I am Roses

Lace Leaves- bought from Bella Paperie

Leaf vine - from my stash

Distress Ink

Lindy's Stamp Gang spritz

I wish you all a wonderful weekend.

Until next time,

3oM DT August reveal

Hello there!
Wow, what a busy end to July and start to August I have had.  I have just commenced a new job, in a medical centre, and have been busy learning the ropes.  Top that off with a big weekend doing the tourist thing with one of my daughters friends from Germany and her family, and I haven't had any time to reveal my layout for the August 3oM challenge.  So here it is….

This month's criteria is Pockets/Envelopes.

My layout is quite a simple and fast one this month and doesn't use much more than paper!  I completed it in a little over an hour once I had decided on how to incorporate pockets on to the page, and I am very happy with how it turned out. :)

I created a pocket simply by using one of my Martha Stewart punches.  I punched a small section along the top of the green & white spotted paper, which gave me the perfect little pocket effect to put my journalling card.  I actually learnt this technique from a very good scappy friend of mine - Tina Ollett!  Thank you for the inspiration Tina xx.

Products used:

Paper - Echo Park Boys Collection Mini theme

Studio Calico wood veneer stars

Corrugated card

Martha Stewart Punch

Prima distressing tool

Brass Star (from stash)

I hope you draw some inspiration from it, just as I did from my friend.

Until next time,

Happy Scrapping,

A Perfect Moment

Hello again!  I'm back to share with you another layout featuring A2Z Scraplets chipboards.  My very dear friend Tina Ollett inspired my love of chipboard - I blame her for my addiction! LOL

Some close ups of the chipboard…

I cut the title up and spritzed the "A" and  "Moment" with glimmer mist and covered the "Perfect" with Liquid pearls.  I also covered the frame with liquid pearls.  

The frame can be found here and the title here.

Could you be any cuter?

Hi all!

Just wanted to share with you another layout I have done for my guest design spot with A2Z Scraplets. This one features a photo of my gorgeous boy, taken some 13 years ago now.  Boy time surely does fly by so fast.  One minute he was a 6 month old baby, next minute he's turning 14 and still as gorgeous as ever!  (I may be biased though).

The A2Z Scraplets chipboard word can be found here.

New month, first challenge at 3OM!

Wow!!  How can it already be July??  Before we know it, we will be scrapping our Christmas photos!  Now theres a scary thought….

As it is now July, the first challenge for the 3 Or More challenge blog is now live!  As the name of the blog suggests, the challenge is to use 3 or more photos on your layout.  Each month an additional element is added to challenge you a little further.  This first month is to incorporate Frames on your page.

 Here's my layout!

I simply sprayed the raw chipboard frame with Glimmermist.  The inner frames were first painted with black paint, then spritzed with the glimmermist.  It looks much prettier when you see it - the photo doesn't do it justice.
