Sassy Scrappers Strawberry Fields Forever!

Hi There!
This month I am playing with a super fun, super gorgeous collection Websters Pages Strawberry Fields on the Sassy Scrapper Blog today . There is a mix of beautiful bright colours & great quotes throughout the collection. Some quotes that Beetles fans are sure to love!

 There are lot's of gorgeous flowers to fussy cut & some gorgeous wood grain backgrounds.

 I love the vellum sheets of woodgrain & bokeh. So pretty to layer & add texture!

The chipboard pieces are new from Imaginarium Designs. I have dabbed gesso to create texture then sprayed with Hero Arts Mist

My Creative Sketches November challenge

Hi there!

The November sketch is up at My Creative Sketches! Another fab sketch created by Kim Keane! As always Pam is offering a FANTASTIC prize

I used the gorgeous October LE kit from My Creative Scrapbook. Full of yummy goodies from Websters Pages Park Drive & Prima

The chippie is from Imaginarium Designs. I was lucky to win a pack of chippies from ID last month & this was part of the prize! I have primed it with gesso, painted with Shimmerz Blingz Spiced Cider & sprikled a bit of copper on top for extra sparkle

The mask is Creative Workshop. I used some texture paste first then once it was dry I painted some Shimmerz Blings Spiced Copper over the top. This was the first time I played with Shimmerz products & I LUV the effect it gives, especially over the top of the paste. It gives a beautiful rich & shiny sheen

Thanks for Looking!
Cheers

Scrap The Girls

Hi There!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend! Hunter had a couple of mates around for a sleep over for his birthday. The boys were so well behaved & our first offcial sleep over went off without a hitch!

Scrap The Girls have a great challenge for September. The theme is sports or action shots. I used a photo of Kayla boogy boarding in Marlo earlier this year

I have used a mix of Websters pages Everyday Poetry & Yacht Club. To add a bit of texture to the background I used some torn pieces of tissue paper & stcuk it on with modge podge then I used some gesso & some honey comb mesh as a mask. I then sprayed & splashed some Gold Glimmer mist to give a gorgeous shine.

 The flowers & resin are a mix of Prima & the white floral spray is Green Tara

I have used my Martha Stewart Deep fan punch (one of my fav's!). The bobble trim is just from the $2 shop. The bloomer is Websters Pages which I dabbed some gesso to tone the blue colour down

I was really excited to be featured at Once Upon A Sketch & The Color Room last week!

Thankyou to everyone that  joined in the blog hop! Thankyou for all of your gorgeous comments.

Thanks for looking!
Cheers

Hi There!

Today I have the last 3 pages I did at retreat. I tried to get a few challenges done while I was away. The first was for Scrap The Girls

I luv these Prima Fairy Belle papers. The colours r so gorgeous!

This next one was for the June Sketch challenge at Handmade By Suzanne
based on this sketch

I have used Websters Pages In Love mixed with Kaisercraft The Lake house with some new Prima flowers. I just got a few new Martha Stewart punches. I luv this around the page one. It is so pretty!

& lastly a just because page (& another wedding page!)

Some more Kaisercraft The Lake House & Kaisercraft trim. The pink flower is Green Tara & the others are Prima. The bench is Prima too

Ok need to get back to the books. We run our own business & I do all the bookkeeping. Heaps to do before the end of financial year!

Thanks for looking!

I feel the earth move.......

Hi There!

Well didn't we have some excitement in my little neck of the woods this week!! Tuesday night I experienced my first ever Earth Quake!! It was only a little one 5.2 on the scale but I must honestly say I crapped myself when it started! We had no damage & it was over in like 40 seconds but it has been the talk of the town all week LOL!

Anyway I am finally getting around to sharing a couple of pages I did at retreat. The first one is for Once Upon A Sketch. The them this month is birthdays. I decided to focus on how much I enjoy the fact that Kayla & I celebrate our birthdays close together

I have used the May LE kit from My Creative Scrapbook which was full of Websters Pages Everyday Poetry

I luv this felt Prima flower. It was one of my fav Prima flower releases for this CHA

This next page was just because using the same Le kit

Evie is no quite 2 & she is such a little character! Whenever I am asked if she is a good girl I describe her as having a free spirit! We have nicknamed her Evil Evie & she definately keeps us on our toes but I wouldn't have it any other way! She always makes us laugh & she dances & sings around the house. She luvs One Direction (eek I know!) & Carly Rae Jepsen Call Me Maybe & can already sing the chorus of their songs which totally cracks me up!

I have a couple more shares form retreat that I will get to soon!

Thanks for looking!
Cheers

A challenge or 3!

Hi There!

I have played along with a couple more challenges. The first LO is a combination of Kaisercraft Saturday Sketch #2 & Bird is the Word. Teh word is 'heart'. This is the skecth

& my take on the sketch (I posted this LO in my last blog post for the Graphic 45 design team call)

I have used the gorgeous February Limited Edition MCS kit which was full of the romantic Kaisercraft Sweet Nothings collection

A close up of some Prima goodness on the page!

The flowers & bird cage are fussy cut. The masking was done using some honeycomb mesh & some versa ink in Laurel Leaf

Some hand stitching & more prima flowers

I have used a few different meduims to give  this chipboard scroll circle a distressed look. Firstly I painted it with gesso, then once dried & painted some acrylic antique white painte all over. Once dried I roughly inked the edges in versa colour ink pinecone. I then used olive ink & roughly smudges colour unevenly aroun the circle. Then get some texture paste on your finger & roughly smudge the paste where you would added texture. Once dry dab your pinecone ink pad on top of the smudges of texture paste. Finish off by using a coat of Tim Holtz Ranger Crackle Paint in Rock Candy. Use a heat gun to help make the texture past bubble & assist crackling!

This next project is my entry for the Websters Pages February Challenge. the challenge was to use sparklers on my page. Thanks so much to Heike at Scrapz.Biz for supplying me with some pretty sparklers!

I have used Websters Pages Ladies & gents & Csountry Estate, Websters pretty petal, Websters sparkler

The mirror folds down to reveal some journalling

The black lace border is a Websters Pages digital brush printed onto a transparent sheet & then fussy cut

Thanks for looking!
