Simple Stories......

9:23 PM Edit This 2 Comments »
I have used Simple Stories PP for both of these LO's.
The first range is a bit boyish and called Awesome. Now this is something I don't do very often, a 'boy-ish' or 'man-ish' page LOL I think I like it, not sure!
 Anyways, there is also some WOW chippie on there and the title is Thickers. I inked them and then made small marks on them to make them look a little bit distressed.
And this one is using the Simple Stories, Fabulous, a girly range that I really like! I made this one for a WOW challenge. It was to use circles. I used some more WOW chippie (the circle with flowers) and also the circle altaMATZ.  I sprayed the background with Glimmermist and paint for the hearts. There is some Bella bling, cute little dragonflies and swirls.  I also used some Rainbow Splendour chevrons and butterflies. I done some sewing on this one too.
Here's a close up of the chipboard that I painted and then put some stickles on and then dimensional magic to give it a bit of shine.
Well that's all I have to share for tonight.
I'm looking forward to the weekend...no plans really just looking forward to being a home body :)
Enjoy your weekend.

Hello August......

Been scrapping away again and I also have a couple of cards to share as well.
First up, my cutie girls, they are good friends most of the time. They have their moments as I'm sure most kiddies do. 
I have used October Afternoon PP. I made my own little crochet flowers and hearts. The title is a chippie title from WOW, I have painted it and then put some stickles on it as well for a little bit of glitter.
 The next one is a page I done for the Scrapsidaisy Design Team. It was available in a kit, but it is all sold out !!
Here is a close up of my handmade flowers on the page. I have layered PP and (OMG I can't remember the name of the material) but they seem to have a little bit of sparkle that I thought looked pretty cool. 
 I recently went to a Stampin' Up demo and we made these cute little punch art animal cards. The frog is my fave, because I love them!! Isn't he cute??
 and the owl is pretty cute too huh. Was good fun!!
I made this card for a four year old lil' princess. I coloured  in the image with inks and water pen. I used Kaiser and Prima PP and My favourite things sentiment stamp. I'm not sure what kind of stamp the little girl is, she was given to me by a friend already stamped.
That's all for today. Now I need to go sort out scrap desk because I'm not sure there is even a 12 x 12 square space for me to work in :/ Such a mess!!
Anyways.....
Thanks for stopping by

New Stuff!

1:28 PM Edit This 0 Comments »
Got a few new LO's to share today!
Don't the months just fly by July already, and it's nearly finished too!!
So here are my latest creations. First up a LO of Lilli, the photo is about a year old and I loved it as soon as I took it, not sure why it took me so long to scrap it LOL
I have can't even remember what patterned paper it is, I'm thinking it's Kaiser but don't quote me on that!! There is some gorgeous Jules Gems metal embellies and flowers and also some Prima flowers too. The title is a WOW chipboard title that I have painted.
This is my gorgeous niece all ready for her Yr 6 farewell. I have glimmermisted the paper doily and also splattered some on the background. The PP is MME lime twist. Lots of other bits and pieces too. Such a beautiful girl, she is!
I used a Pagemap for the next one, I was needing a bit of inspiration and loved how it turned out!! The PP is Bo Bunny, Country Garden. Very pretty, got leftovers so will have to do another LO with it. More glimmermist on this one, some stamping too. More Jules Gems on there and random flowers. The title is Thickers and Cosmo Cricket tiny type. This is our crazy girl Lara!!
Next up our cat George. I think this is his first LO! I done this one at a 12 hour crop at a LSS, Scrapawhile,  a couple of weekends ago, My friend Jules gave me the PP out of a Tim Holtz paper pad. I embosssed the script on it and the rest is pretty basic but I love the colours despite the old blue and green saying!!
And my very latest creation....another one of Lilli, if you can see her in there. The PP is Kaiser Fine and Sunny. I love this paper so bright and fun. I used my first Rainbow Splendour pinwheel, so cute!! I purchased a few things from the last sale, I love it all! The title is the matching Fine and Sunny alpha stickers.
This photo was actually taken at the end of January this year, in the middle of Summer!! and Lil's all rugged up like the middle of Winter! 
That's all for now.
I do have a few cards to share as well so I will be back soon to do that.
Thanks for looking

A FB challenge...

12:53 PM Edit This 1 Comment »
The second challenge this month at Crafty Crops on Facebook was a white with one challenge. Obviously I chose pink. I really enjoyed doing this one, although when you have 2 girls it does seem kinda easy to pick pink!! LOL But anyways I love the result! 
This is Lara with our kitten Tinkerbell, who she always called Diddy, watching TV. That kitty was the most patient animal she would just sit quietly until Lara let her go. There is some journalling on the back of the LO to explain all this as well.
First I sprayed the background with some Glimmermist and them stamped a little bit on there too. I used the Kaiser Bubblegum Hills paper pad, it had the perfect pink and white pp for this challenge. The alphas are some old Heidi Swapp I had in my stash. There's a tiny WOW butterfly on there, they are my new favourite little thing, but that was the last one, must invest in another packet!! There's ZVA pearls and also Basic Grey bling on there. I also used my new Nesties, the Fleur De Lis Rectangles, I love 'em!! Oh and some random buttons.

That's all I have to share today, but I do plan on working on something new this afternoon. Have a scrappy weekend :)

I joined in the sketch challenge at Scrapbook Supplies Online this month. 
This is the sketch for the layout, there is also a card sketch as well. The prize is a $25 voucher!!
 And here is my LO based on the sketch.
I used Echo Park, Country Drive PP and lots of other little bits and pieces, I even dragged out some old rub-ons to finish it off!! I have been pretty good at using some of my older stuff ;)
I love these photos of Lil, it took her ages to catch a butterfly when we visited the butterfly house at Coffs Harbour. When she finally did she just sat there admiring it......

Ok, must be lunch time my tummy is rumbling.
Thanks for looking
