Uncle Norman - Layout - The Scrapbook Store

I am a little late with getting my blog posts up this month, as a lot has been taking place in the back-ground ... more news coming soon.

My design team kit from The Scrapbook Store this month included the quaint, and vintage inspired papers from Fab Scraps. I worked with the 'Baby Bear' collection, and this is my first project for the month. The image is of my Uncle Norman, he's probably one of funniest men alive, always a laugh and into 'something' new. AND, what a gorgeous photograph of him as a baby. He recently came back from overseas to spend some time with family - Mum said, 'sibling rivalry still exists at our age' - what a hoot!!

Gauze was used beneath the image and also under each of the flowers for interest - the gauze was coloured using various distress inks.

The Clock Works die was used beneath each end of the photograph, this is a fabulous die - an all time favourite of mine, with so many uses.

Labelle Jade flowers were used, from Prima Marketing, and leaves were created using the foliage die. I hand-crafted 'other' flowers, using the MTF, Trio flower and leaf die, and tiny flowers to 'fill' using a Carl Craft punch.

Kaisercraft, yellow adhesive pearls were used in the centre of each hand-crafted flower, and further to decorate the flower arrangement. Also, I used the Crackle clear stamp from Kaisercraft to create an aged appearance of the outer cardstock edge.

I will be back soon, with more creations ...
till then...
Keep smiling
Sandie

Summer Fun, With Helmar and August Challenge

Hi Everyone,

I have been busy playing in creating quick tutorial's via video. So please bear with me as move through the early learning stages...

For Helmar this week, we have a Summer Time theme, so I created this layout with my two beautiful son's and their best friends riding in the Darell Lea hot rod, that our next-door neighbour owned. The boy's used to think they were the ants pants riding around in a hot rod, with no roof, in the heat of late Summer afternoons. Wonderful memories...

My whole layout was put together using two wonderful products by Helmar, the Quickfix Tape Runner and my very favourite adhesive for scrapbooking, Premium Craft Glue. Premium Craft Glue can be used on all elements of scrapping, from cardstock, paper to flowers and embellishments, such as the buttons. When applied to any type of paper, there is NO buckling of the paper, it is an absolutely fabulous product, and can be found 'HERE' to purchase in Australia, and 'HERE' if in USA or Canada.

This month you have a chance to win a great prize with the Helmar Challenge, just upload your challenge entry into the Helmar Flickr page before the end of the month. So get creative and come and join in

with the fun!

All you have to do, is enter before the end of the month - do your own personal 'take' of the below sketch details, and enter through the Helmar Flickr Group, which can be found 'HERE'.

Sandie
