so richly blessed - March DT Kit for The Scrapbook Store

 Hello - I have really been enjoying Bo Bunny - the Mama Razzi 2 collection - so I'm sneaking in one last page - using up bits from my Design Team Kit from The Scrapbook Store.

 Page out for Publication ☺

 My sister took this picture of me recently - I love that it has taken in some of the scenery too - I love being at the beach and we are lucky enough to live very close ☺
I've gone with my banner style design - it always works so well and I've used some tags and the stamp set to go along with this collection.  Here are some close-up's:

 ... this is one of the tags - I've done some embossing with the camera stamp and then sprayed some October Afternoon over the top - then you have the emboss resist technique ☺ ...

 ... and here is the other tag using the same stamps and also a sticker from 12x12 Combo Stickers ...

 ... along the top, I've used some strips of paper from the 12x12 pattern paper Oh Snap and also more stickers - the stickers are great in this collection - so many little words to choose from ☺ ...  the flowers are from Prima and Kaisercraft - they matched in nicely with the papers ...

... more stickers and my journalling ... included in my writing is the word lucky which is the March challenge at Bo Bunny!

The Mama Razzi 2 collection is available at The Scrapbook Store - check it out if you wish to get yourself some create papers and embellishments.
And you still have time to join in with our monthly sketch - you can see the sketch in the gallery!

It was my turn to do up a tutorial for The Scrapbook Store.

she enjoyed the simple things - mixed media canvas

 Hello - hope you are all going well.  I'm sharing a mixed media canvas that I've been working on - it's been such a long time since I've done one of these.  I enjoyed making this one so much, especially using the Prima Mixed Media Doll Stamps - these are gorgeous and available at The Scrapbook Store!!

 Most of the papers are from my stash which include some of the She Art line by Pink Paislee - really love the bright colours in this collection.
Here are some close-up's:

 ... I stamped the doll stamp onto some bookprint paper and then paper-pieced with some of the pattern papers.  Added some colour to the skin and hair using watercolour crayon and paint ...

I love how this one turned out and it reminded me why I enjoyed doing these mixed media piece and ...... yes, I should do more ☺  Just to find the time in between everything else ☺

Mini album for The Scrapbook Store

I've been busy creating this week, making this cute mini album, using Teresa Collins products - part of my Design Team Kit for The Scrapbook Store.  I love how it's turned out - I took so many pictures so I decided to make a slide-show to share each page and give you a closer looks at the many layers ☺
I've used the File Folders as the base of my album - stitching it together with my sewing machine - this is part of the He Said She Said collection - then I've teamed it up with papers and embellishments from the same collection as well as a few bits from my stash.

You can view the slide show HERE!

You can check out lots of Teresa Collins products in The Scrapbook Store!  Thanks for coming by ☺

love this shot = March DT Kit for The Scrapbook Store

 Hello - hope you are having a great weekend ☺  Just sharing another page using my kit for The Scrapbook Store - this month we have two collections to work with!!  I've shared one using Teresa Collins and this one is using Bo Bunny - Mama Rassi collection!  This collection is full of rich colours and bold patterns as well as lots of fun embellishments.
Here's my first page:

 I love this fun photo taken by my sister and decided to go with a bold pattern paper: 12x12 photo booth -   I think it's worked.  I've left a fair amount of white space and used some of the dimensional stickers. I've also used the really cool stamp that goes with this collection (the Mama Razzi stamps has sold out but there are some others still available here. Here are some close-up's:

 ... this little tag is from the dimensional stickers ... the banner is made using the Poppy Stamps die-cut ...

 ... more of the dimensional stickers ... they certainly bring the page together very quickly ...

... and also some of the little stickers from the 12x12 combo stickers ...

This is just a little peek at what this collection is like - be sure to check out the whole collection and heaps more Bo Bunny at The Scrapbook Store!!

skinny jeans = March DT kit @ The Scrapbook Store

 Hello ☺ This month I have two gorgeous paper collections to work with for
 The Scrapbook Store. Today I'm sharing one using Teresa Collins - He said She said collection.  Here's my first page!

 I really enjoy working with the Teresa Collins paper lines - their papers are gorgeous and they have fabulous die-cut words and tags as well as beautiful embellishments.
This photo is from last year and I have scrapped it before .... but I just had to do it again ♥  All the papers are from this collection and I've used my Silhouette to cut some arrows. Here are some close-up's:

 ... to make these number embellishments I've used the 12x12 pattern paper - stripes - and used a circle punch to cut out the numbers - then I've used epoxy dots to stick over them to create faux flair buttons - a great way to make your own co-ordinating embellishments ... I've also done some texture work using the new Prima stencil - chevron grunge ...

 ... some of the die-cut elements and words from this collection - these bring your page together very quickly ... the arrow is a cut-out using the Silhouette - I've coated the arrow in gesso to create texture then sprayed with OA mist ...

 ... more die-cut word elements ...  date stamp is AC ...

... and a banner from the die-cut elemnets ...

Check out the entire collection in the store, but be quick because it's selling quick!! ☺
Thanks for visiting ☺
