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.

Stitching - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Well I have to say I LOVE sewing on layouts. Ok I love the effect of stitching  the sewing with the machine part I don't really like. (lets just say me and sewing machines have never really had a great relationship!!) But I think that stitching just adds that finishing touch! I actually think I should do more stitching than I do. 

This layout is  a photo-shoot of my girl earlier this year when she turned six. I have used Maggie Holmes crate paper collection (love this range!) The script paper already had the drops of paint so to balance the page I added the same to my white cardstock. The stamping is done with the Glitz camera roller stamp. As you can see in the detail pics the stitching just adds that extra bit of dimension.

hello....project life

HELLO

yes I am still doing Project Life! I have been slack in sharing my scrapbooking as usual! but busy enjoying life! I love the concept of project life - documenting the everyday. Keeping memories of our everyday life and moments. 

Here are some close up's and details...

I am such a fan of Studio Calico products so I was super excited to join their subscription club! They have Project Life Kits, Scrapbook Kits, card kits and lots of add on kits. For the last 3 month I have been receiving the Studio Calico Project Life Kit. They are FULL of goodies! The quality of the 3x4 and 6x4 cards is just fantastic. This weeks project life was created with some of my SC Project Life Kit. 

Here are some close ups and details....

Enjoy the rest of your week

My new love......Silhouette Cameo

Hi all!

I'm EXCITED.....

Yes I have finally got a silhouette cameo! I have been drooling over them for ages. My awesome hubby bought it for my wedding anniversary present. We celebrate our 17th on Sunday!

(excuse the poor pics they are from my phone.)

 For those in Australia who would love a Silhouette or the accessories they are available through Scrappy Go Lucky Australia.

It comes with a instructional DVD and there is many you tube videos on how to use this amazing machine. So I have been learning how to use it and having a play..... here are some pics of what I have been doing.

I Made some embellishments for project life and a bookmark for Lachlan.

I made these Labels using the print and cut feature. 

Here is a sneak of Project Life week two and three. Will share full pics soon.

I  am also trying to get my desk organised better to suit project Life. My wonderful handy hubby has made me two boxes for my desk with compartments for all my PL goodies. I still have to paint them but I was just trying it out. Perfect for my 3x4 and 6x4 cards, stamps, washi tape and stickers. Can you spot my new roller stamps from Glitz??! I cant wait to use them!

Thats all for now, thanks for visiting my blog.

Enjoy your week

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.
