"Sweet"


Scrapbooking Memories Publication

Volume 16 #9

Welcome back! I know it has been a little while between posts, but as last post, be assured I have been busily scrapping away! Today I have a quick share with a couple of closeups of a recently published layout titled "Sweet". This was published in Scrapbooking Memories Magazine volume 16 #9. You will find this layout in the Final Encore section on page 104. Along side this I also had published an off the page project as well. I promise to post that one next! But first thing is first....."Sweet".



The paper ranges used are a combination of Prima's Engraver Collection and Crate Paper!!


I also used Prima's Say It in Crystals (circles) along with some beautiful hand dyed lace from Bella Paperie.


I have also used some Dusty Attic and Memory Maze Chippie goodness and a variety of Green Tara and Kaisercraft paper flowers. Also Tim Holtz metal clocks!!! Love these!!

 I hope you have enjoyed dropping by......... Till next time, take care.

"Magical Moments"

Good morning and welcome back.
Today I have a layout completed a little while back......and I would have to say that it is a favourite of mine. And the photo a favourite too. This one of my eldest daughter taking a stroll along the beach at Sandgate.

This is a pretty simple layout in which I have used the papers from the Pion collection - Shorline Treasures. Gorjus, gorjus papers!! Just perfect for those shabby / vintage layouts to create a moment in time. Keep scrolling for more close-ups...I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.


"Magical Moments"


To start this page off I have cut the wood paneling into panels and distressed and then tore each panel top and bottom and layered them behind the photo to give a rustic beachside feel.
I have used a lot of  beautiful flowers from Petaloo. I have used three differing packs on this layout....incredible I know but it just had to be done.


And of course some Prima Shabby Chic Treasure vintage frames. I have divided one of these in half to go further!! Chipboard word from Memory Maze. These new words are very fine and more than perfect to emboss as I have here with some Lindy's embossing powders.


 My favourite thing to do is to make my own flourishes using Liquid Pearls!


Lots of pretties on this page to look at.......



I finished up the layout with found shells from the beach, some Dusty Attic chipboard fishnet paneling, some hand dyed cheesecloth and a few seed beads and Kaisercraft pearls.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a very wonderful day.

"The Peaceful Heart"

Good morning and happy spring season to you all. Today I want to share a very special layout that I created a little while ago using a photo of my son and our two dogs back when they were only pups. It was actually a year ago that these photos were taken.......... how time flies.

 I have included some close-ups for you.............just keep scrolling.



I created this vintage shabby styled layout using the collection of papers called Shoreline Treasure from the Pion. Along with this beautiful paper collection I adorned this layout with Shabby Chic Treasure Resins, flowers from Petaloo and Dusty Attic chipboards, 


I did a lot of distressing,tearing and layering on this layout. 


Love this fish net chipboard. I tore it up into pieces and gave it a splash of gesso with a little inking using Distress inks.


I also used the sea shells resins and these have also been inked a little. I have tucked in a little cheesecloth which was stained with some coffee and a few seed beads that having been sitting in my stash for soooooo long.


And another close-up.


Beautiful flowers from Petaloo. These were altered using a little distress ink also. The chipboard here has been inked also and then stamped using a crackle stamp.



Thanks for popping by and 
I hope that you have enjoyed your visit here.

Take care until next time.
