Adore and We're all Mad Here...... for Scrap FX

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today, I have my latest shares for Scrap FX...  Adore and We're all Mad here.... First up is "Adore"

Another pic of one of my gorgeous nieces "Tilly" she is such a character...

I created my background using the Numbers Collage Stencil and my Gel Press plate.

I added more detail to my background using the Seed Pod Stamp, large...

I added the new Flourish 20 to the bottom of the photo, it's one of several new flourishes Scrap FX released  this month...

I finished the layout off with my title "Adore"... 

Next up I have "We're all mad here"....

this is the group photo from my retreat in May, we had a rainbow colour theme and the ladies didn't fail to join in the fun...

As soon as I saw this new Mad Teacup title "We're all mad here" I knew I had to do a layout with this photo... just perfect...

I added some modelling paste through the Coffee Love Stencil to my background.... it's a great stencil...

To finish off I added the Steamy Curls  to either edge of my photo...

Creative Paperclay® June tip for saving money....

Hi everyone, and welcome.

 Today I am sharing my June tip/technique. I have a quick tip to help save you some money (we can all use that right?) and have some creative fun at the same time.

This is an idea I came up with while looking to get myself some smaller tools to sculpt with. To start I did what most of us do right - I went to google, lol... I found many people making their own tools, but out of aluminium and brass tubing.  This didn't seem economical enough for me, so I decided to create my own from a few household items and paperclay...

Supplies:

Creative Paperclay®

Large paperclips

Small paperclip

Sewing Pins

Silks Acrylic Glaze Spiced Pumpkin

Silks Acrylic Glaze Rich Cobalt

Directions:

I began with my Creative Paperclay® and some basic household items.... some sewing pins and oversized paperclips...

 I removed the heads from the pins and then bent the ends slightly.... this is to ensure that they don't pull out of the formed clay handle once dry....

I applied clay both underneath the row of pins and then on top of the pins

 I kept adding clay and smoothing it out until I was happy with the size and shape, and set it aside to dry...

 Next I began with one of the large paperclips, opened it out, and left the curves of the paperclip in tack...

 I embedded the paperclip into a lump of clay...

smoothed the clay around the paperclip, and again set aside to dry...

 For my final tool, I used some jewellery pliers to make smaller loops from my paperclip...

 I again embedded the shaped paperclip into a lump of clay...

 and smoothed the clay around to form the handle....

Once again I set it aside to dry...

Once the clay was dry I grabbed out my Silks Acrylic Glazes and painted my new tools... Naturally I chose two of my favourite colours, Spiced Pumpkin and Rich Cobalt...

 So with a very small amount of of Creative Paperclay® and some basic household items I have four new tools to start creating with and I can't wait to get started.... look out for my next Creative Paperclay® blogpost where I will make use of my new tools.

thank you for stopping by and joining me here today

Till next time

A layout featuring my gorgeous niece, one fine day we spent at Werribee Zoo.

 I created my background using the Numbers Collage Stencil and my Gel Press plate, love how it came up.... loads of fun...

I added some modelling paste using the new Coffee Love Stencil... great new stencil with a couple of coffee stain rings and a great coffee mug...

 I added some random stamping using the Chicken Wire Stamp...

I also used the new Clock Hands Stamp to add some extra detail to the background...

I added a 2017 from the 2017 year pack I love these packs... so handy...

and you can see some more of the coffee stains done with the modelling paste ...

 I added the new Flourish 21, painted up with some Vivid...
