Anniversary Escape

Hi, Deb here with you again today. I thought I'd share a page I did of a little place we went to for our wedding anniversary. We try to organize our holidays around that time of year to celebrate a very special day. 

I have used the Anniversary Escape title and simply colored it, added dimensional paint and sprinkled a little bit of chunky glitter on. 

This gorgeous embellishment was made by our DT member, Lauren. She makes the most gorgeous chipboard embellishments that are just beautiful for special cards or pages.

New Sparklets!

Today we have introduced a small selection of new Sparklets. These range from a Frozen or snow themed set to shells, flowers and a cute set of Rudolf glass domes. 

These are listed in our new products for January 2016 I'm looking forward to having a play with these over the weekend. 

Until next time

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

Sunshine in my life ....

Hi Deb here with you today. If ever scrapbooking made sense it is when something is gone and we are left with memories. A moment, a trip, a place, a person .......... things that are part of life, part of who you are or what makes you ......... these are what we place in our scrapbooks for our families to see and feel. 

This layout is one of my daughter and shows such happiness that it makes me smile looking at it. 

Here's a close up of the chipboard - simply colored using a color spray.

Materials used:

A2Z Scraplets There is sunshine in my heart

Kaiser kraft card

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. 

Materials used:

A2Z Scraplets Chevron Borders

Flair

gesso

Looking back, seeing now .....

I've been going back through photos from when my children were younger and scrapping the memories that they bring back. When they were younger we had deer at the farm and occasionally an orphan came along to be cared for. 

The Single Deer was just perfect for this photo.

 I have painted it, shading around the edges and then given it a coat of Rock Candy Crackle paint.

Life is Pretty Amazing sums up how I feel about travelling. Canoeing around the caves of Thailand on a family holiday couldn't be explained any better.

The title has been inked to give it a stipple effect with the Life word outlined with pen.

Until next time

White Tigers in chipboard...

Whether or not these beautiful big cats will be around for my family's coming generations is unknown. However, scrapbooking our photos preserves the memories of the things we have seen in our lives.

I have used a couple of chipboards on this page - Chicken Mesh and Engraved Tiger. 

The close up of the tiger shows the finish achieved by using paint dabbers to color the very detailed engraving on the chipboard.

The Chicken Mesh again, has been simply painted with a white dabber paint.

Until Next Time

Scrapbooking Your Memories

Do you have a pile of photos that are waiting "to be done?" Mine is huge and I'm not sure I'll ever get through it but the journey is enjoyable. I have pulled out an older photo from my daughter's Pre-School days.

In this photo we were at the famous Beechworth Bakery and the kids made their own biscuits. I have used the word #cookingupastorm from the set of Hashtag Travel Set Wordlets.

Here's a close up of the finish on the Scraplet. I inked the chipboard with chalk ink first and then gave it a coat of Opalite ink. 

Each month A2Z Scraplets are releasing dozens of new designs catering for all facets of scrapbooking. There are chipboards simple titles to the more accessory styled design.

Until next time,

Happy Scrapping
