Think Pink - Card no 2

Hi everyone, just wanting to share a little card I made for the Think Pink Challenge over at Copic Oz.  For every card made and added to the challenge, $5.00 is donated to the http://mcgrathfoundation.gofundraise.com.au/page/copicaustralia

such a wonderful organisation which helps raise funds for Breast Cancer.

Copic Oz are now going to donate $1000 to the McGrath Foundation if they reach 100 Think PInk Cards.....which they are so close to.  So here is my next submission :)
 

 I just love this stamp...she is such a cutie!!

Design Team Project - Butterfly Kisses

Hi everyone!

The design team so lovingly let me play with the very girlie and cute collection, Kaisercraft's Butterfly Kisses this month and I couldn't be happier!!  I love the bright and bold colours.  At first they can seem a bit in your face but as you start playing with them they are very easy to use. 

I had seen a similar layout in a Australian Scrapbook Creation Magazine by Maria Featon, so I decided to use it for inspiration.  I really like the different strips of patterned paper and the how the layout is layered with different types of papers from the collection.

For this layout, I used a beautiful photograph of my little Miss, which was taken last year.  I think the black and white photograph looks great with the colourful background and embellishments.

Its difficult to tell, but in this photograph, my little Miss is fascinated by a fabric flower, so I thought it fitting to add flowers as an embellishment.

I have finally started using distressing techniques in my layouts....at first I found it quite difficult to do, but now I'm loving how it all looks and how easy it is to fix any little mishaps!!

So if I have inspired you to use this beautiful collection, then please head over to

for all of your scrapbooking and papercrafting supplies!!

Thanks

Twig & Berry - Days till Christmas

Hi all

Here's my Off the Page project - Days till Christmas (Count down Tree) that I made for the DT.

I used Kaisercrafts Twig & Berry Paper Collection, which is just beautiful. 

The mini alphas, buttons, star and twine are from my own stash.  The numerals (also from Kaisercraft) were inked in red and decorated with 'Xmas Red' stickles.  

This project was so much fun to make and as you can see there aren't too many days left until Christmas!! Scary thought isn't it!

Most, if not all, of these items can be purchased at Kerry's store http://www.kerryscraftycardsandcuts.com.au 



See you later

Stampavie - Lily from the heart

Hi

Just stopping by very quickly to show you a sweet little card I made for my goddaughter's birthday last weekend.

I used a 6x6inch paper pad that I can't remember the name of but it looked lovely with the Stampavie Image I used!

Lily was coloured in using Copic Markers. I love how easy it is to blend colours and how vibrant the copic colours are.

I think she is so cute and I can't wait to be able to use this stamp again.

Bye for now

Father's Day

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to show some Father's Day cards I was busy making last week! 

I used Kaisercraft's Sears & Son Paper Collection which looks great for masculine themed cards.

I even got to do a little colouring in using my Copic Markers (which I adore!!), I think the Mr Fix It man turned out very cute!!

Mr PPD was very happy with his card!  

Hope you like them.

August Layout Challenge - Fine and Sunny

Happy Monday everyone!!  It was my turn to set a challenge for August for  www.kerryscraftycardsandcuts.com.au

I've decided that the challenge will be a layout one.....as sometimes its hard to get inspired, I chose a simple layout that will work well for many different photo combinations.  I haven't scrapped a layout page for my family in a long time and was finding it difficult to get started, but once I chose the photos it all fell into place quite easily!

Challenge Layout Sketch:

This is my example of the challenge....I used Kaisercraft's Fine and Sunny Paper Collection which is very cute. I wanted to add a photo of the kids but unfortunately I don't have one of the four of them together, so this was the best I could do.....

Hidden journal tag:



Even though the layout is simple, it was a challenge for me not to add frills, flowers & bling (which I do to most of my projects) but I'm really happy with how this has turned out.

Hope you like it...

Bye for now!!
