Magic of Christmas

I've pulled out a few photos from past Christmases to work on lately and thought I'd share this one with you. Each year my husband and I go to Melbourne to see the Myer Christmas windows and the Nutcracker was a beautiful display. 

I've used two Scraplets on this page Magic of Christmas and a frame (9). The title has been painted white and then given a coat of Dimensional Magic with a light sprinkling of fine iridescent glitter over it and then allowed to dry. 

I used a slightly different finish on the frame. Again it was painted white and then a layer of Tim Holtz Rock Candy Crackle paint was applied. Before this dried I dusted it lightly with the same glitter. When dry the edges and a little into the cracks was brushed with grey chalk ink. 

I've used the very beautiful Graphic45 papers and some Petaloo flowers as well. Some of these products can be found in our retail store www.invitation-to-scrap.com.au/store and the scraplets are available at www.a2zscraplets.com.au

Hope you enjoy

Hi *Deb* here. I love to travel. It started when I was young and our farming family would have a two week break after harvest. My father enjoyed this time and exploring different areas of our country. Since then I've tried to fit in something, somewhere whenever possible. Camping when times were light and enjoying some more elaborate trips overseas during good times. 

My husband and I went to Vietnam a couple of years ago and we are thoroughly in love with the cultures of South East Asia. We have spent time in Thailand and will be going back there in April with the children.

The page that I've done here uses the lovely A2Z Scraplet lanterns which have been inked and misted with glimmermist for a shimmery effect.

Once our designing gets underway I'm keen to develop a line of travel related chipboards. I'd love any feedback on your thoughts, the places you've traveled and titles or shapes that come to mind for a chipboard embellishment. Pop a comment on our facebook page A2Z Scaplets and go into a draw for some Chipboard goodies. 

Happy Scrapping

Deb

Scraplets in a mini album

Hi Belinda here today to show you all about Scraplets in mini albums. I am only going to show you half the album today as its a lot of photos.

Mini Albums are awesome. They can be about a holiday,wedding or any theme. Mine is about my middle daughter. I have scrapped photos that mean something, a milestone but also ones that I have not scrapped before (hence why there is not many birth photos as I have scrapped all of them in the 12x12 style) I am going this mini album for her to keep in her bedroom and remember some important moments and look back on how much she has changed.

First up is the star. This is an awesome Christmas Scraplet, fab for PL and mini albums (as well as normal layouts). I misted it using Shimmerz mist then covered the back of the heart with a bit of paper.

These two has the leaves branches on them. Again awesome for PL and mini albums, adds detail without making the pages tooo lumpy. Again sprayed with a bit of mist.

Last is the arrow word (which I cut the point off) 'Love of my life'. I used Shimmerz (not mist this time, comes in a little jar) and heat set it. The heat makes it bubble and gives it texture. Again its perfect for PL and mini albums.

There is sooooo many awesome Scraplets that can be used like this. Check out the range HERE

And don't for get to enter this months challenge set by DT Petra. Hope to see loads of entries.

Thanks for looking

Guest Designer Julene Matthews using A2Z Scraplets

Today we have guest designer Julene Matthews sharing her work with us. Julene has been a member of Design Teams and enjoys doing our monthly challenges along with many other projects. *Deb*

I've used 2 A2Z scraplets barbed wire strips which I misted with 'sugar maple".

The background paper is named parched earth and that well describes the countryside around Hyden.

There are kilometres of red dirt.

One man has made these sculptures his life's work. They are amazing and comical as well.

The card uses the large people A2Z scraplets which I have covered in patterned paper scraps then added details.

We'd love to see some projects using our products so pop over to our challenge and give it a go.

Happy Scrapping *Deb*
