First post for 2014

Hello and Happy New Year to you all!!! WOW, it's been a little while since I've been here, so it feels a little strange coming back and writing my first post for 2014. It was also good to be away for a little while and enjoy some holiday time with my family. Now we are back and I'm feeling ready and (hopefully) inspired to create again ☺
This year, I'm happy and excited to be continuing on with The Scrapbook Store - sharing their fabulous products and working on the DT.
As well as sharing my DT work, I have a few other things in mind to share too .......
But first I want to share this layout that I created late last year and didn't get around to sharing as yet.

I took this picture at the beginning of Summer on a perfect calm day when we went boating and snorkelling. Living by the sea - we would have to say that coming into Summer is our favourite time!!
So I've used some assorted papers and embellishments that I had in my stash. I've added in stamping and some texture paste.
I really wanted to share with you the cute stamps that I've used on this page - they are by Lawn Fawn and available at The Scrapbook Store. This set is called Blue Skies!!
Here are some close-up's:

I always like to include a decent amount of journal work in my pages - this year I hope to focus on that even more and really tell the story for my boys ☺
I've got some texture work and lots of fun embellishments, including some WOW wood veneers - Word Speech Bubbles. Super cute!!

'blue skies are ahead' stamp is part of the Lawn Fawn stamp set - I love that cursive font.

Here I've done some paper piecing with the cloud and balloon stamp - such a fun way to add some interest to the page - and these stamps are great for this technique because they have easy lines to fussy cut.

The title 'nothings better' is by Fancy Pants - Artists Edition - I've coloured in using my Molotow Marker pen - Lagoon Blue Pastel. Then I've inked and stamped to add more interest. The paint marker covers the wood nicely and gives a nice matt finish.
And lastly I've added in one of my own crochet hearts ☺

I hope you have enjoyed this page.
This month I'm working with two collections for The Scrapbook Store: My Minds Eye - Lost and Found - Record It and Simple Stories - Daily Grind. I can't wait to share some inspiration using these fantastic collections.
Hope to be back soon ♥

Glitz Design - Finnley collection - The Scrapbook Store

Hello all ☺ I have one last share for the month - I've been creating with the Finnley collection by Glitz Designs for The Scrapbook Store. I ♥ this collection ☺☺

I had this super cute picture of my oldest and youngest that I took very recently, so I thought I'd use it for this collection. I've used lots of the stickers from this collection - the little sticker words are just great. I've also used another wood veneer word from WOW. Here are some close-ups:

I've filled the 'little moments' sticker with some of the word stickers - the wooden heart button is from my stash ☺

I love to use my punches - here I've punched out the heart shape from the red paper and overlayed it so the pattern paper from the bottom layer is revealed. There is that super cute wood veneer word from WOW chipboard.

The title is from the sticker sheet - I've outlined in black pen to really make it 'stand out'.

Here is that same heart punch again - I've layered four hearts, distressing them as I went along - then added in one of the rhinestones from this collection.
Other bits that I've added to the page are a paper lace doily, sequins and cotton thread.

Products used:

Alphabets and Words sticker sheet

6x6 paper pad - Finnley

Rhinestones - Finnley

cotton thread

paper lace doily

sequins

Wood veneer word - WOW

heart punch

script stamp

espresso ink

There is still a little left from this collection in store - please check it out ONLINE.

Thanks for following me this month with my creating - it's much appreciated ♥

Glitz Designs - Finnley - The Scrapbook Store

Hello and happy Monday ☺ I have another share for The Scrapbook Store - using Glitz - the Finnley collection. I'm really enjoying these papers and the other bits from this collection - very easy to work with and super fun.

This is a very recent photo of our road trip that we made during the past school holidays. And I've used the really cool 12x12 pattern paper Drip as my background. It has a mixed media feel about it with the design of dripping paint - I've added in some white paint mixed with water, also using the dripping effect. Love how it's turned out. All the products on this page are from the collection - I've also added in a WOW wood veneer word and a Green Tara flower stem.
Here are some close-up's:

Sometimes I like to make my own embellishments. This is a simple flower using a scallop punch - using different pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad, punch out five scallops. Layer together, distressing them as you go along. Adhere together with a pin and then add one of the rhinestones from this collection. I've also free-cut a leaf to add behind the flower.

The 'today' word is from WOW wood veneers - there are three different words in the pack and they are a lovely font. I've used sticker letters from this collection to make my title.

I keep going back to 'banner style pages' ☺ Here I've made an arrow with a long 'kebab stick'. Using the pattern papers I've free cut an arrow and some feather style leaves for the end. I've attached some mini pegs and also added in the Green Tara flower.
I've also used the super cute feather roller stamp from this collection on the black paper which mats the photo - I love using white ink on black paper to give a 'chalk board' effect.

This collection is selling very well, but there are still some papers and embellishments left - please check the online store.

Products used:

12x12 pattern paper 'Drip'

6x6 paper pad

rhinestones - Finnley

Green Tara flower stem - black

Feather roller doodle stamp

Alphabets and Words stickers

paper doily

kebab stick

scallop punch

white paint

mini pegs

script stamp

espresso ink

WOW wood veneer shapes

Thanks so much for coming by ♥

The Scrapbook Store - Finnley - Glitz Designs.

Hello everyone - it's been a little while. School holidays have now passed and we are back into the swing of things. I've started creating with my Design Team kit from The Scrapbook Store - this month I'm working with 'Finnley' by Glitz Designs.
Woodland animals… Feathers… Trendy colors… Triangles… Full of Whimsy… The Finnley collection is full of love, & will be perfect for babies, relationships, & everything else in between! (as quoted on the Glitz Design website)
Here is my first page:

This photo was perfect for this collection - my nephews and niece enjoying a special moment with their new sister - totally adorable ♥
I've put together this page using the pattern papers in this collection, as well as some stickers, the feather stamp roller, Green Tara flower stems and some WOW wood veneer shapes.
Here are some close-up's of the details:

I love pegs and creating bunting style pages. This is one of the stickers from the collection which I've matted onto white cardstock.

And here is another sticker , also matted onto white cardstock. I've also used a Green Tara flower stem as part of the banner, along with cotton thread.

The title is little words from the alphabet sticker sheet - the stickers are just so cute and can easily be added to your photo's for extra details. I've also used a wood veneer word 'love' by WOW.
