Everyone has their own little Bat Girl ..... don't they?

Hi Deb here with you today. 

Sometimes you just get that one person/furbaby in your family that screams out 'scrap me'. I'm lucky, I have a few!

I love the freedom of expression this child has and embrace the individuality she exudes. This photo is kinder dress up day and she chose to go as Bat Girl. 

The title for this page is cut in our new product - Ebony Card. There are a number of designs available in this from card sized words to page titles. I love it for a crisp black element on the project. I cut the word in two and simply outlined it with a gold paint pen. 

I used a piece of Birds on barb wire which I also cut apart. 

I colored a frame black and tucked it in under the corner of the photo to give it a bit of dimension. 

Material used:

A2Z Scraplets - Bat Girl, Birds on barb wire, Oval Frame 1

Gold Card

Impasto

DCWV Papers - Tattered time

TH ticket

Punch

Until Next Time

Happy Scrapping

Custom titles.

Hi Deb here today with some pages using custom designs. Having a title or design made up for special events, travel albums, birthdays adds that extra touch and personalization to your project. A2Z Scraplets can make most custom designs up for you, just use the link on our website to email an order through with the details. 

The first page is one using a chipboard #curvelurve, a promotion for the McGrath Foundation.

Naturally the color had to be pink.

A close up of the finish on the chipboard. It has been painted and covered with Glittery Dimensional Lacquer. 

The next custom design is something a bit different. It's a great title for a concert page. The pages have been kept totally minimalistic and the chipboard left raw. The journalling tells the story of the event and the photos speak for themselves.

The second page is simply more photos and a large, oversize laser cut brick wall to tie in with the theme.

The final page uses the title again and again, a set of photos from the occasion.

That's all for today,

Happy Scrapping

Where has the year gone???

Hi Deb with you again today. We're on the run into Christmas and things are getting very busy but I've managed to squeezed in a couple of pages to share. 

I've pulled out an older photo and new one for today's post. The first one is a photo of my son aged about 3 or 4. Yes, he was and is all boy, covered in mud or dirt most days. He did enjoy a good natter to people on the phone and can still talk his way out of anything that comes his way! 

I have used a piece of the Nuts and Bolts frame as a corner on the page. 

 To embellish or decorate it I have simply used inks. Using a combination of two to give it some interest and a bit of a rusty look.

Materials used:

Cosmo Cricket paper collection

A2Z Scraplets Nuts and Bolts Frame

Maya Road Wire @

Magic Scraps Flair

 The next page is more about getting right back to basics. With time being tight but still having the need to scrap the memories of our photos, particularly the simple moments that crop up, I have done some very, very simple pages. Documenting the moments being the focus with them. Journalling should be somewhere on your page and I often hide it. I'm not always comfortable with my own handwriting but I do it. I think it's important to pass that on too as it's part of our own personality. How many remember their grandparents writing? One of mine had her own very unique, albeit messy style, but it was her and I can still see it to this day.

 The chipboard is a Custom Order and describes this photo perfectly - Bed Hog! I have painted it and then given it liberal sprays of glimmermist. This has resulted in a watermarked look.

Materials used:

Bella Papers

A2Z Scraplets Custom order Chipboard

Martha Stewart Punch

Bazzill cardstock

Tattered Angels Glimmermist

Until next time,

Happy Scrapping.

Weird and Wonderful

Hi, Deb here with you. For this post I thought I'd share another couple of pages I did while on a break.

This first page is using the new "Weird and Wonderful" title and is perfect for this photo. I wonder if anyone else has 'one of these in their family'?

Being a girly page I decided to use a simple finish that still had a bit of pizazz and bling - simply paint and glittered dimensional paint.

Using a stencil and embossing thread I added a word that describes the subject to a T!

Materials used:

A2Z Scraplets Weird and Wonderful

Purple paint

Glittered Dimensional Magic

Stitching template

Thread

Bo Bunny Papers

The next page is one of my grandchildren making biscuits. I love the look on the youngest one's face! Again, this one was done on break with limited supplies - the challenge to make the most of what I had with me. 

Firstly I spread some gesso on the paper using a business card I had in my purse. The rest is layering and adding little elements from my embellishments stash that I had with me.

 

Naturally there is still chipboard on it. I'm finding the pack of Chevron strips very useful. I cut and inked a couple of pieces to add to the layering effects on the page.

To finish it off just a little more I think I might add the title 'masterchef' and a centre to the flower.

A2Z Scraplets Chevron Borders

Until next time
