A Page just for fun!

I am back to share a page that I did just for fun, no idea where I was going with it, just let it all come together.

I used one of the latest Scrap FX chippies the BLISS Bracket word. I love all the words they have in this line.

I added some wings with a smattering of embossing powder and embossed the word as well. I also used an old fave of mine the stonework screen that I cut up to add dimension to my page.

Once I attached it to my base with some other bits and pieces, like mesh and texture paste, I lathered it with Gesso and then sprayed away with some Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays.

You can see all the bits and pieces I used here. I just used what ever was within reach! Loads of scraps from other work.

Here is the full page: 

The Journalling is a stamp from Kaiser that just said all I wanted to say!

 I have to say I really loved how this one turned out and I was even in the photo!!!!

It is a great photo of my 2 fella's, finally got a good one without them pulling their ridiculous faces.....Ahhh Teens!!

Thanks so much for dropping by y'all! 

HUGS,

"A Quick Share"

A big Hello to everyone!

Just thought I would pop in to show a card that I made for my nieces' engagement on the weekend. 

I do struggle with cards, but I was inspired by fellow Design Team member at Scrap FX, Marta who shared a video earlier this week. 

Her projects are just awesome and just a little different....yes I do love her style!!! 

Here is a link for you: Martas channel

And here is what I came up with: 

 I guess it could have done with a flower or 2 but, you know me, I do not have any!!   

Unfortunately the whole flower thing really tests me out!! We all have our kryptonite and flowers for me are it (along with Pink and Purple!)

I used Scrap FX chipboard pieces that I had in my stash for an age, it felt satisfying to put older faves to good use further reinforcement to never throw anything away! 

That is it for my show and tell for today, bye till next time lovelies!!

My Next Class.

High everyone, I just thought I would pop in to show you the next class I will be teaching at Scrappers Warehouse on the weekend. If you want to join me why not give them a call or drop them an email.
So here is the page, lots of layers, inky fun with Lindys Stamp Gang, ScrapFX Goodies and some yummo Graphic 45 paper:

I went a little different with the colours as I cleaned up my desk so did not reach for that teal and green colour combo!!

The kit includes the Scrap FX Chippies and we will play with their stencil here too! 

That is about it from me for now! Thanks so much for dropping by and I will see some of you this weekend for some inky fun!!

More fun Stuff!

Back again with another page made for Scrap FX with their new releases for May.
This time I used these very cool hash bits and hash foam stamps......I was so inspired when I first laid my eyes on these. I am certain they will feature in lots of my future creations.

I used the foam stamps on the background stamping the ink in a random manner. The best thing about these foam stamps they really keep on stamping even with one ink application.

I also stamped into the wet light molding paste to create texture.

I inked the hash bits with black then added embossing powder roughly so that it was not perfect coverage.


Here is the full page of my nieces hamming it up once again!

I used this Bracket word as my title and my journalling .... how easy is that??

I used the black ink once again and some gold paint for the highlights and smaller lettering as they looked lost all in black.

The background sprays are all from Lindys' Stamp Gang. The patterned paper is all Graphic 45.

 I tried to replicate the hash pattern with the patterned paper.

Lastly I just embellished away with sequins and liquid pearls.

 Well that is it for me for now, hope you are all creating away and perhaps I have thrown just a little inspiration your way!

Hugs,

A Ripper month of Scrap FX!

And Hello out there!!!! Wow already June????? No way!!!!! It is a little scary how quickly the year flies by and I know I have been neglecting this little creative corner, so I am back to rectify that matter!
I thought I would show one of my pages for Scrap FX this month. I was absolutely blown away by the products, they were particularly appealing, so I have so many pages to show.... you could say I was in a messy frenzy!!

This is the piece that inspired me so:

Just brilliant!
So I nabbed some silly shots my son took while we were away of my nieces, they are  beautiful when they muck around with crazy faces!
I started by using the Circle Weave stencil with texture paste that I coloured using Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals powder, the result was very striking, so I added the spray in gold and various shades of  green as I did not want the background to over shadow the photo.

I then stamped in random spots and added washi tape strips in the shape of the large Scribble Heart that I happened to have on my desk.

I cut the heart to fit in the phrase and butted it up against the photo.
I did put a backing on the phrase as, even when I inked it up it got a little lost in the strip background.

I glued it all down, then embellished away with micro beads, thread, sequins (cannot leave them alone ATM), and some embossed teeny hearts that were chipboard.

And here is what I ended up with:

So there you have it, the first page of many to come using this release. Want to take a peek at the rest of the newbies head to the Scrap FX Store.

Thanks for stopping by!

Sketch Challenge Time!

So sorry my little creative space has been sadly neglected. I do hope you will all forgive me for my lack of cyber space presence but I have to say life has been a little needy!

So without further ado I finally got into my room and completed a few challenges, yes there are more to come!

This is my first one: 

A sketch challenge over at Kreative Concepts  ( the former scrap friends site).

Here is the sketch, an unusual one I have to say..... just how I like them!

I used some fab new chippies from Scrap FX, just adore these new "Arty" pieces!

They include some sensational scribbly morsels that are soooooo divine, check out this frame:

And then there is the words that are just to die for:

I just added some embossing powder on each of these pieces to make them stand out in the rather busy background, I just had too much fun!

The background was created using home made circle stencils (basically circles cut out of cardboard) and Lindy's Stamp Gang Sprays and a bit of doodling around the circles.

I mounted the frame and photo on a few scrap pieces of chipboard to make it stand out.

And finally here is the full page ..... my hubby doing what he loves in the place that he loves!

 Thanks so much everyone for dropping by stay tuned for the next challenge that I attempt!

A Romantic Month at Scrap FX

A big Hello to everyone!
A new month of Scrap FX goodies have arrived and here is what I have been playing with so far!

Damask Stencil

I have already done a project with the Damask stencil in the previous post in my LO for Sassy Scrappers, but I have also tested out the Marrakech stencil!

Marrakech Stencil

I combined it with the chicken wire heart and this  peacock I adore! 

Peacock and Tail Feathers

I have to say the peacock was just divine to play with! I used a combination of embossing powders from Lindys Stamp Gang and mica pigment paint.

The title is a wordlet that I have also treated with embossing powders and Lindys Stamp Gang Spray!

The photo is of my Little Bro and his wife, I love this set of photos!

And here is the full page:
The quote is a stamp from Kaiser that just seemed "right" for the page!

Also had a play with the Diamond flourish stamp, deciding on a more subtle image made with the watercolour paint I used on the background. It was super easy, I just dropped the stamp (of course it was on purpose!!!!) on to the puddles I had made on the background before it was dry. Then just stamped away on different parts of the page..... it worked a treat.....a happy accident!
I just loved how it turned out!!

Diamond Flourish Stamp

 

I tried my hand at lettering with a brush, the trick is ..... hold your breath and just do it quickly!!

And here is the page:

Oh Happy Day is a new stamp set that can be used as a stencil ( using the backing) or a stamp.....genius! 

Oh Happy Day Stamp Set

So that is it for now, thanks so much for stopping by lovelies!
