Colour Challenge...

Hi There

These two are my wonderful parents whom are very special to me. As a gift  I framed this layout for them. I created this layout using the August colour challenge at Life.Paper.Scrapbook. This layout started out very different then I got carried away but I really enjoyed playing with mixed media again which I haven't done for a long time!

lots of layers with gesso, ink, stamping, HS color shine, glimmermist, tissue paper, water colour and I even dug out some beautiful prima flowers from my huge stash

These are the gorgeous colours for the challenge at Life.Paper.Scrapbook. You still have 10 days left in this challenge if you want to give it a go!

Night Photo's

Hi All 

Hope your week is going well the weekend is almost here! 

Today I wanted to ask have you scrapped night time pics or very dark photo's. If you have what are your tips?? I have been wanting to scrap a few night pics for a long time but never really had any great ideas on how to go about it.

 So a few weeks ago I watched a video via Two Peas in a Bucket. I love their videos and you can find the one that inspired this layout here. This video give some great tips for night photos including colors, placement and layers. I really wanted to capture the stillness of my photo and I didn't want it to get lost so I went with a light background with just a few pops of dark patterned paper. I also had to add a few stars being a night time pic and because I love stars! My title is again done on the silhouette cameo and I added watercolor and ink to it.

Heidi Swapp, Studio Calico & Project Life

Hello yes she's back in blogland!

If anyone is still out there dying to read my blog I am scrapbooking again after a looooong break!

I love to read blogs to find inspiration and cool techniques so I thought I could share some of my latest projects again! Well my current favorites at the moment is just as I have said in my title Heidi Swapp and Studio Calico. Thanks to Studio Calico this year I have started Project Life! I was able to do their online class Day By Day! It was wonderful so full of tips and inspiration.

Firstly I will share this layout my adventurous boy on the flying fox. I have used a number of  different stamps in this layout for the background. Including Kaiser, Studio Calico, Heidi Swapp & Amy Tangerine.

My next layout is my son again! Eating a big fairy floss at an outdoor cinema we went too, his face is priceless! For this layout I have used Echo Park - Everyday Eclectic. To create the circle texture in the background I have used a circle template and pressed the circles with a rub on tool. 

Products Used : 

Heidi Swapp - Buzz Words, Heidi Swapp Memory File stamps and Studio Calico - Wood Veneer Arrows & Hearts, Amy Tangerine - date stamp, Glitz - washi tape, crafters workshop template.

This is a little sneak of my very first PROJECT LIFE page for this year. Week One 2013. Will share the full pages soon....

Hope you Like! Please leave a comment if you still out there :)))
