Adore You, Layout - The Scrapbook Store...

This month for The Scrapbook Store, I used the beautiful papers by Karola Witczak, Mintay - 7th Heaven.  Team these with 2Crafty Chipboard elements, Seam Binding, Green Tara Flowers, and Lace, Couture Creations Pearls, and Nuvo's Glitter drops.....perfect combination to be creative.  I added in some torn corrugated board, white-washed with Gesso ... highlighted parts of the chipboard with the mini pearls .... and some fussy cutting from the papers. 

The Green Tara 'Tea Roses' are just beautiful, and the set comes complete with matching leaves ....

The image is of my brother, Paul when he was a baby, with my Mum, on my Grandmothers front lawn.  Paul was certainly had no hair, totally bald!!

To The World - The Scrapbook Store...

I'm a little late in showing off my May projects (more coming), Jesse and I have been struggling with 'man flu' - now Dad's also caught it, so its now man flu plus some. My head is still full and I'm still not 100% but of course Jesse bounced back within days - me a week now.  Joys of Winter... and its now upon us with yesterday seeing the first signs of frost.... 

Anyhow, this month for The Scrapbook Store, I have been designing with the Penelope Dee, Mother of Pearl Papers.  They are just glorious!! I opted to use some fussy cutting, which I have not done for some time now.  The 'beautiful' (name of it) paper was perfect, with oodles of amazing roses.  Teamed with some gauze from the medical cupboard, that was painted with Heidi Swap, Color Shine and Lindy's Stamp Gang mists, and lastly splashed with some gesso - flowers included.  The paper range comes with many sayings, and I cut up several to create my own for a title.  

I have had this photograph of my daughter floating about for some time, its a lovely 'selfie' which if I remember correctly I managed to grab off Facebook, and hoped for the best when I printed it that it would be good enough quality!!  I'm pretty sure my two girls were trying to out-selfie-each other... lol Today, Tayla turns 20 - where did those years go!!

Hope everyone has an amazing weekend ...xx

Memories - The Scrapbook Store

This month for The Scrapbook Store, I was sent a deliciously gorgeous lot of goodies to design with - including the stunning Penelope Dee, Mother of Pearl papers, Dusty Attic Chipboard Pieces, Green Tara Lace, and oodles more.  Then the search for the right photograph...

I found an old photograph of my first birthday with my parents.  Its not the best photograph as it is old, and not clear, etc.  However, it is a special memory for me, as my Dad passed away on New Years Eve, he had Motor Neuron Disease.  

Before I explain more on my layout, I had an email from a lady who was asking about why I always list a 'chipboard sheet' in my materials list, so perhaps there are more that ask this question as well.  I use the chipboard as a base for my layouts.  Cardstock, even though sturdy, often doesn't support fully the layout, especially if you are using mediums, and lots of embellishing.  All in all, it really is a support base :-) You can find a variety of thicknesses 'here'.

I've used the Penelope Dee papers, each paper of this collection is just stunning, and teamed this great paper range with some corrugated cardboard.  To shabby the layout, I added white paint (not gesso) here, there and everywhere - I was tempted to brush across the Kaisercraft Blooms as well, but did not want a really washed out look, and those flowers really pop.  Green Tara have a lovely selection of flowers and laces.  The Azalea's are stunning and always look amazing in a flower arrangement. Also, The Scrapbook Store, has their own flower range which can be seen 'here' - I have used the 1cm semi-open rosebuds.

Also, this month I'm exploring a new product (to me) Nuvo Glitter Drops, which I used on my title to add glimmer and dimension.  I just adore this product and am looking forwards to trying the Jewel Drops and Crystal Drops.  

Have a great weekend ....

Christmas 2010 - Gingerbread - Kaisercraft

Morning everyone,

Today I am showcasing the beautiful paper collection "Gingerbread" for Kaisercraft - another beautiful Christmas range, that I used to scrap some of Jesse's first Christmas photographs, and a card.  

We had only arrived in Geraldton, from South Australia 3 weeks previous to Christmas, and being Jesse's 1st Christmas I made a real effort to make Christmas special for him.   John had to work, but was home late that evening to celebrate.  I took a series of photographs of Jesse sitting in his bumbo seat using my mobile phone as I still had not found the camera!  

In this particular photo, Maliniki is in the background, her eyes glowing in the tree like one of the lights LOL.  It was a little on the nightmarish side with the Christmas tree, with Jesse and Malinki plucking baubles of the tree, and as soon as the day was over, I pulled the tree down. I found baubles for the next week between boxes as I was unpacking!!

The design team have created some amazing creations with this paper collection and the other new releases this month.  Wonderful inspiration for Christmas just around the corner.  Pop on over to the Kaisercraft blog for further inspiration, and a full list of products used...

Thanks for visiting,

Sandie

Tiny Fingers Tiny Toes LO - The Scrapbook Store

 An arty layout, created using the Graphic 45, Mother Goose, Humpty Dumpty paper.  My DT pack from The Scrapbook Store this month included some of the lovely blooms by Peetaloo, so thought I would design a layout around the moss green colour.

I've enclosed 2 photographs of the layout, the 2nd one shows off the gorgeous shimmer and shine in the  Lindy's Stamp Gang Mists.   I used the Random Star's Stencil by WOW as the background and highlighted some of the stars using a black pen (I hate doodling as I always muck them up and if I could, I would remove the black LOL).

 The title is a gorgeous chipboard piece by Scrap FX called Tiny Fingers and Tiny Toes, it was perfect for this LO - I have an envelope stuck to the reverse side of the LO, and enclosed is a series of photographs of Jesse's hands and feet as a baby. I used various mediums to paint the title, and then highlighted with Lindy's Stamp Gang Mists.   

 One of the larger Prima Marketing, Mechanical  Washers was cut in half, and used to edge the photograph.

Jesse looks so adorable in this photograph, so tiny... where have those years gone?

Enjoy your day and thanks for visiting..

Bedtime Story LO - The Scrapbook Store

This month for The Scrapbook Store, I am working with the gorgeous Graphic 45, Mother Goose paper collection, and elements.  The paper collection is seriously gorgeous, with not only brighter colours, but also the more muted too - not to forget the most magical nursery rhyme images.  

I used the Ring Around the Rosies paper, and done some major fussy cutting of various flowers and leaves.  Flowers were created using the Die Cut Flowers - they are simple to construct and always look pretty, especially when teamed with layered fussy cut elements.  Yellow adhesive pearls were added to some of the flower centre's to highlight.

I doodled some stitching, really wanted to be more creative in the doodling side, but each time I attempt a doodle, I detest what I have done and have to cover it. Several LO's have ended up in the bin because of my doodling attempts.

 The photograph is of me as a child, and the journaling side of this layout is on my favourite story book - written on back of layout.  From a very  young age, my Mother used to read my favourite book to me each night (and often through the day too) - actually I am sure I pestered her to read it constantly.  I was mesmerised with it.  It is called "Pookie Puts The World Right", and it is a beautiful story, and I adored the little creature Pookie.  I still do.  There is a series of Pookie stories, and I am collecting them for Jesse.

Thanks for calling by for a visit...

My Beautiful Grandson, and Close to My Heart Layouts - The Scrapbook Store

This is a layout created for The Scrapbook Store of my beautiful Grandson, Tyeson.  I absolutely love the Shabbylicious paper collection by FabScraps - it is really just beautiful. The tags from the Die Cut Set  are so sweet, with the cutest images on them - the whole package has gorgeous elements.

The Scrapbook Store - Roses and Leaves as well as Green Tara - Flowers and Ribbon. Aged Shabby Blue embossing powder was used on the Grandson chipboard piece.  

 Again, I used the Flourish 1 stencil, and coloured using Ethereal Emerald Moonshadow Mist, and also White Linen ink spray - as you can see the stencil is a little deeper than others on the market and leaves a 'higher' impression.  I added in some thin guipure lace around the outside edge of the layout that was in my stash.... just finished this layout nicely.

and this next layout is an 8 X 8, which was perfect for the embellishments and photograph I wanted to use.  I started an 8 X 8 album a few years ago, and I have not added any pages to it for quite some time - shame on me!! LOL

The photograph is from left to right my Aunt Helen (deceased), Grandpa and Grandma (deceased), my Mum, and my brother Paul (deceased) on the bike, with me next to him. 

 I used the Shabbylicioous Die-Cut Elements and also the matching Chipboard elements as the main focal.  The outside edge was dusted in Victorian Velvet, Distress Glitter - if you haven't tried Distress Stickles yet, it is a must for the shopping list.  You can find all the colours available 'HERE'. Adore the glitter, the chunks, and the shine.
The chipboard window, has a die-cut shape with shutters that fits perfectly over the top.
I fussy cut one of the flower sprays from one of the tag die-cuts and added it to the chipboard jug - really need to keep this page fairly flat to go into my album.
The Scrapbook Store has their own brand of chipboard, and one of the many available are the 'words' - these are some of my very favourite and in one pack, there is ample for a number of layouts in all types of wording - they really are gorgeous. 

Happy Creating

This is Us Layout - September Sketch - My Creative Sketches

The new sketch is up at My Creative Sketches for September, with a fabulous prize to be won for a random winner.  You can find all the entry details 'HERE', and the sketch below. 

For my interpretation of the sketch, I turned the sketch on its side for something different, and added in an extra photograph at one of the focal points.  It was a fun sketch!!

The photographs are of me and my brother at a young age.  Mum used to take photographs of us in this one part of her flower garden all the time - it must have been a favourite place for her.  Later as we are growing older, a lot more flowers and shrubs can be found in the photographs.  My parent's built this house, so I guess at this point the flower garden was new.

I used the My Creative Scrapbook, September, Limited Edition Kit to create the layout with - full of all sorts of wonderful products, and fabulous embellishments.  You can find all the details of the Limited Edition Kit 'HERE'.

I hope you will come and join in the fun of the My Creative Sketches challenge this month!!

Truly Lucky Layout - The Scrapbook Store and Once Upon A Sketch

 ..and now a pink version of Shabbylicious, by FabScraps for The Scrapbook Store this month.  A background full of texture, including the Chicken Wire die from CLD's... each little joining section has a tiny pearl bead.  I used a piece of cardboard from the packaging of a dinner set.  The cardboard is gorgeous and soft and easy to rip and manipulate.

Lindy's Stamp Gang Mists were used to colour the background. 

The vintage lace leaves, have been edged in Victorian Velvet Distress Ink - so pretty. 

This month, I have joined in the Once Upon a Sketch, Challenge.  The topic is 'Lucky', with a lovely sketch by Nadia, seen below.  You can find all the challenge details 'HERE'.  

 

The photograph is of my daughter Amanda - another 'selfie' (I love me) taken on her mobile phone... gotta love her!!!  It is a good way for me to get photographs of her, I just pinch them off Facebook! LOL Amanda is a beautiful, young woman, both inside and out... and she is the Mother of my first Grandson.  We speak 'daily' and when I say daily .... its more like several times a day. She has the warmest heart, and would reach out to help anyone, whether she knows them or not.  I'm very proud to call her not only my daughter, but also my best friend.  I am truly lucky to have such a precious, loving daughter...and I miss her terribly.

Have a wonderful day and thanks for calling by for a visit.

Truly, Madly, Deeply Shabby LO - The Scrapbook Store - Scrap Around the World

Hi Everyone,

This is my first creation for The Scrapbook Store this month, using the beautiful Shabbylicious paper collection, by FabScraps.  I absolutely love this paper collection - the soft hues of blues, greys and pinks (pinks will be shown soon).

I used the new WOW  Flourish 1 Stencil, to add some texture to the background paper. You can find the complete collection of stencils available 'HERE'.  These particular stencils are clear, and are made of a thicker and harder material than other stencils I have played around with previously.  There are some gorgeous patterns available...

Also, for September I decided to enter Scrap Around the World, Challenge.  The challenge details can be found 'HERE'.   Firstly, I used the mood board (below) as inspiration, the image of the young girl holding no doubt a parents hand - love is obvious.  So I created a layout based on my love for my son, Jesse - I journaled extensively on the back of my layout on this topic.  Then, I also used the monochromatic colour pallet of the mood board also, and created in a whimsical, shabby chic manner.  Who says a boy layout cannot be pretty!! LOL

I used the Truly, Madly, Deeply chipboard title, by Scrap FX - painting it in white and highlighting edges on one side like a shadow with Waterfall Stickles.

This month I have made a promise to myself to start using some of my odd flowers up in my stash, and have successfully incorporated a pile into this layout from Green Tara,  Manor House, and Prima Marketing - all brands are available at The Scrapbook Store. Bandage Gauze was used to soften around flowers....

 ...I will be back with 'pink' ... sometime very soon..

Enjoy your day/evening

My Creative Scrapbook - Septemeber Reveal Layouts and Cards

Hi everyone,  Its time for the September reveal for My Creative Scrapbook!  This month, I worked with the Limited Edition Kit, which was full of the new release Prima Marketing - Anna Marie.  Also lots of other wonderful items, including Wood icons, Tickets and Tags, Chipboard, Mechanical (metal) New Pendants, Pink roses, Yellow silk flowers, and Wishful thinking flowers.  Kit content image can be found at the end of my post, and to purchase please visit 'HERE'.

This kit is going to be a fast seller, so please make sure you get in fast to order, before it has sold out!

My first layout is of a dear friend of mine, this particular night, we all dressed up in 'days gone by' attire, had a few glasses of bubbly and laughed like school girls all night long.  It was a cold night, the fire was blaring .... and the hours just ticked on by.  We took oodles of photographs, and they are so much fun to look back on.

The 2nd layout is of my daughter Tayla, and myself when she was 'little'... my gosh, she has grown since this was taken.  It only seems like yesterday that she was a little girl, and now she is a woman.  At the time this photograph was taken, Tayla had been pretending to be a tea-pot. When she wanted to disappear, she would put her hand on her hip, her other hand in the air to replicate a teapot spout and would stand as still as anything.  She seriously thought she would vanish and turn into a teapot!  Where she developed this idea I have no idea, but it was a very funny aspect of her childhood for around 18 months. I can still remember calling out 'where is Tayla' .. and the other children would chime in 'being a tea pot'.

Mist splatters, and oodles of fussy cutting ... was a lot of fun creating this LO.

This Anna Marie paper collection really has the most amazing and beautiful papers.  I adore the tiny rose pattern in the layout above and didn't want to waste one little bit.  I also teamed the papers with the packaging from one of the Prima flower packets, as it really matched perfectly and used it to journal on. 

The photograph of my cousin Annette, and myself on one of our many treks to Ballet.  Ballet was a big part of my life for 13 years, also tap and jazz ... you wouldn't know it now! LOL

With left over products I created a Friends Tag, and Birthday Card.

A wonderful kit to create with, and I will be returning around the 15th/16th for the September, My Creative Sketch challenge reveal with another layout created using this beautiful kit.

Till then,

Sandie

Ms Malinki - September Sketch - The Scrapbook Store

 September has arrived .... and The Scrapbook Store has another brilliant sketch challenge up, with a great prize for a random winner - $40 instore voucher, and free postage.  Enter by uploading your layout to the Gallery....

 I have not really followed this sketch, but the outline is 'there'.... not really into mustaches, but I am flowers!  The photograph is of my beautiful cat, Malinki.  She is a spoiled cat, and has pride and place in the home as being 'it and a bit'... she has quite a story behind her, which I will reveal in future layouts. 

 Most importantly, she is my best friend, and I love her so much ....

September Sketch, By Melinda Spinks

 Lots of splattering, inking, spraying and embossing.... I love the way the Shabby Blue, Stampendous embossing powder matched perfectly the Basecoat II, Timber paper. I also used the Aged Silver embossing powder with a Prima mask to create the texture below the photograph.  The title, 'unconditional Love' just was perfect....

 The flowers were various one's I had in my stash, and seemed to match colour wise.  I really wanted to add in some pink since she was a girl, but alas ..... a reason to create another LO.   The little 'word' chipboard piece on the flower, comes from a 'word set' which is exclusive to The Scrapbook Store - they are adorable and there is quite a range available.  You can see all 'HERE'.

 I'll be back throughout the month with further creations...

Remember This Moment LO and Card - Take Note Paper Collection - and Tea Party Collection Creations - Kaisercraft

 Another fabulous paper collection by Kaisercraft called 'Take Note'.  I have used this collection to create a layout and card - I love the beautiful green hues of this collection, teamed with various shades of browns, totally delicious.  Lace, Wood Icons, fake stitching (my sewing machine isn't being cooperative withe me at the moment - boo hoo), layers, distressed edges, flowers created from die-cuts, peals, rubons, and more.....

What I like most about the Take Note paper collection, is the paper is suitable for feminine and masculine, modern and vintage - whatever takes your fancy really.  I also really enjoy the wording which is included on many of the paper pieces - wonderful for creating journaling, titles, or even card sentiments as seen below. 

The photograph in the layout is of my Grandmother, brother and me, on one of our many trips to the Warby Ranges, in Victoria - we used to picnic there often, when we were young -  and it was a truly magical place with the Aussie plants, and animals.  I've often wanted to return, to see if it still feels and looks the same as when I was young - one day!  I remember that basket (in the photograph) and how it always had a stash of delicious sandwiches, cakes, and hot cocoa. On this particular day we ate cream buns, and somewhere in my photo box is a photo of us with cream all around our mouths! LOL

Further inspiration for this Kaisercraft paper collection, and others, can be found 'HERE'.  A full material's list can be found 'HERE' for the layout, and card.  All Kaisercraft paper collections, can be found at The Scrapbook Store.....

Happy Creating
