Fun Moments

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me...

Today I am sharing my latest work for Scrap FX... 

"Fun Moments"

these are a series of photo's I took of my nephew a few years ago now, I finally have got around to scrapping them.... he was such a cute kid.... now he is almost a teenager...

to create my background, I used the pipeworks stencil and modelling pasted added some colour, gauze, mesh tape and finally I sprinkled some embossing powder randomly over the stencilling ....

I used the leaky pipes chipboard set to embellish the layout.... I coated all the pieces with Stampendous aged embossing powder...

I also used the cogs pack and mini cogs pack, and embossed them in the same way...

I wanted to create a look of dripping and leaky pipes, so I added some Distress Ink re-inker to the page, the resin content gives the wet look to the layout, perfect to resemble rusty water drip marks...

 More of the cogs, coated in the aged embossing powders...

another close ups to show the background and pipe detail...

One last pic of the layout....

Journal Page

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today...

Today I am sharing my latest work for Scrap FX ...

first up I have a journal page that I created using some of the latest releases..."Luv u 4 Eva"

 I came across this photo of Bill and I that we had taken some years back at one of those old time photo places...  I thought it would make a nice journal page with the new heart themed releases...

 to create my background I used some modelling paste with the newly released Key Heart Stencil...
coloured it up with sprays and Inka Gold...

I used the  Luv u 4 eva heart from the Graffiti Hearts pack, you get three different hearts in the pack...

I used the Hearts Entwined chippie at the bottom of the page... I love this new chippie... I coloured it up with Inka Gold and used some clear crackle over the hearts...

a close up of the showing the black Croco also used on the page...

One last pic of the page,

 I used the new Hearts Divine Stencil with some modelling paste...

I also used the Petal Pattern Stencil again with modelling paste...

I used the Chicken Wire Stamp... 

I coloured the whole thing up with some Lindy's sprays and some Inka Gold for highlights...

I gave it a coat of gloss sealer to make sure the colour stayed fast...

Favourite Memories

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today...

Just wanting to share my latest work for Scrap FX... 

 a layout that I created "Favourite Memories"

 this is one of my favourite pics of my mum and myself we had such fabulous fun getting these pics taken... a wonderful day, so many laughs...

To create this layout I used the Circular Shawl Stencil with gold embossing paste to create the texture on the base layer...

 I used the Words of Wisdom stencil with some modelling paste, because there is no such thing as too much texture... then I gave it some colour using a Prima colour bloom spray...

Finally, I used the new title Favourite Memories, which is so appropriate for this layout... I applied some of the gold embossing paste to it to give it colour and texture...

I really love how this one turned out... I'm getting a frame for it so it can take pride of place on the wall of my studio so I can see it everyday....

Just Be

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today...

Just wanting to share my latest work for Scrap FX... 

I'd like to share a layout that I created using some of these fabulous new releases..."Just Be" 

there were some great new releases this month, and I had fun creating this layout using some of them, along with creating in my favourite colour...

 first up I started playing with the new family faces stamp ..... I must admit when I first saw this stamp  I thought it was cute, but also thought there was no way I would use it much if at all.... well surprise surprise, once I started playing with it... I love it, from now on it will be right up there with my other favourite background stamps... check out how cool it looks...

 next up I started with the letter and number ring stamps, these are two separate stamps in the one set... and these I fell in love with immediately... I knew I would love using them and of course they don't disappoint... they stamp beautifully... I feel they will be a regular occurrence in my creations from now on...

Once I had finished playing with the stamps, I used the new Fireworks stencil.... this stencil is extremely versatile, it can be used as a whole, or just for the firework swirl or just for large dots... so many choices...

Finally I finished off the layout with some chipboard pieces... I used the "just be" feather title, and the soundwave from the headphones and sound wave pack...

Love love love

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today...

Just sharing some recent work for Scrap FX ...  
I'd like to share a layout that I created using some of these fabulous new releases..."LOVE"

 This is a picture of Kanishka at almost 3months old, isn't he so cute..... He is now 5months old and over double the size and weight, they grow so fast....

to create my background texture I used the Triangles Stencil ..... don't you just love it???  I'll let you in on a little secret... I designed it... 
for my title I used the new Chevron Banner Words... this is just one piece from the pack, you get three... how awesome...

to create some more background texture, I used some printed tissue paper and some gold leaf...

I also used the Lineage Stamp to give some subtle colour to the background... 
I used the fantastic Words of Wisdom stencil to create my gold leaf subtitle...

 I hope you all are now rushing out to grab all these fabulous new products...

till next time,

Magnificent

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today...

I'm up on the Scrap FX blog again today... and I must say that this months releases are amazing.... loved them all, fabulous stamps, stencils and chipboard pieces.... I had so much fun playing with them....

Today I'd like to share a layout that I created using some of these fabulous new releases..."Magnificent"

I created this layout around  a picture of one of the fabulous orchids I discovered while on holidays...aren't they just gorgeous...

 I created my background using two of the new stamps...  the Number Panel Stamp and the Lineage Stamp... they are fabulous to create background texture...

 I cut up one of the new Hip to be Square chipboards to go behind the pic... isn't it a fun piece... so many fabulous uses...

 Here you can see the texture I created using the fabulous Grunge stencil... this is a fabulous stencil, everyone should have it in the stash... usable for any situation as it is just so abstract.... 

For the title I used the new midi title "Magnificent"... I love these midi titles, there is a whole new range of them released this month, they are cost effective for your projects and not too large and there is usually a word that is perfect for every occasion...

One last close up of a piece of the Hip to be Square chipboard...

Ten Life Lessons

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here today...

it's my turn over on the D-lish Scraps blog today, and I'd love to share with you a layout I created.... "Ten Life Lessons"

This is a layout of one of my gorgeous nieces, Chelsea... such a little cutie...

I used the Scrap FX Ripples stencil to create my background texture... love this stencil...

You can also see here the Hand dyed muslin that I used under the photo...

I used heaps of the gorgeous D-lish Scraps flowers including: Asters, Cosmos Daisies, Forget me Nots, Oriental Lillies, Sweet Petites, Sweetheart Blooms, Metal Flowers...

I also used a Flair button from the Script words white set, which I think sums it all up perfectly.... and I cut up a Leaf Spray to use as the leaves for my flower cluster...

For my title I used Scrap FX products.... I used the playground alphabet set and the 'ten' word from the Mini number wordlets set .... don't forget Amanda will get these in for you if they are not in stock...
