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.

Cards

Hello

First day of school holidays here! Great to enjoy some extra family time :-) Today I  just wanted to share some simple cards. I like to have a bit of a stash of handmade cards for when I need them.

I normally like to use a simple white or kraft cardstock as my base. Then adding layers and stitching. Also a favorite of mine is tags and twine.

 This Baby girl title was cut on my silhouette cameo in white cardstock and I coloured it with pink ink. This card is also different because it opens in the center. 

 I have also been playing with the sketch pen on my cameo, totally fun! I will share some pics next time.

Thanks for taking time to stop by my blog!
Have a great week :-)

Using the Silhouette Cameo for Titles

There are many exciting ways you can use your silhouette cameo to create titles for layouts. In these layouts I have tried two different ways.

The first layout I have used a cut file downloaded from the silhouette online store. I have made it to the size I like and then cut it on this red patterned paper. Very easy and effective! 

SIMPLY ADORE YOU

This next layout I used a font I liked and typed up this saying as my title using the silhouette studio software. I then cut it out of my background paper to have the negative  I then put a plain paper behind the negative to make the letters stand out. Also simple but very effective!

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.
