Stars - PLS

 

Hello there, just sharing my layout that was shared on the PLS blog last week. 

 

I found all my stars products in my stash from gold stickers to the confetti mix to star papers.  I have used mostly products from the very cute Baby Jack collection.  I have layered my papers as usual and placed the star stickers beside those papers in clusters.  I grabbed several stars from the Confetti mix and layered them around my layout with foam tape making them pop off the page.  I had so much fun making this and those stars are a perfect addiction to any little boy page.

 

 

 

'Delightful'

 

 

 

Thanks for looking today :)

 



Quick cards

Hello again!  I love to create cute little cards with bits and pieces left over on my desk from other projects.  I have 2 to share today, mostly using some Maggie Holmes Open Book.   Lots of layers and some splashes of gold :)

 

 

Have a wonderful day xo

 

 

 



My Mini Album

Hello!!  I am sharing with you my Mini Album today.  I am extremely fond of the mini album but never seem to have the time to create one.  We enjoy a lot of time at the beach on our holidays and weekends so I thought I would create something about this time.

 

I initially started with a Heidi Swapp album but also added in lots of papers from Ocean Melody (Webster's pages) along with some vellum and flower emphera from Crate Paper.

 

 

 

 

 

"These Beautiful Days"

 

 

 

 

 

Essentially I have 2 front pages, 1 being the frame and the other a thick piece of cardboard.  So I actually worked on both pieces at the same time making sure they fitted with each other.

 

On my title pages I just had to add some Prima flowers and seashells.  I also added some Mica flakes, Prima resin frame and some Shimmerz mixed media work.

 

 



 

The Life is an Adventure badge is from MME Jubilee collection.  Very cute and matched perfectly.

 

 



 

I still adore using Hambly and I think this is the last of the mixed up frame I have used here :(

I have layered the Crate Paper flowers on both pages here.

 



 

Love vellum atm too!  Love this pic, my little man so proud he caught a little fish!

 

 



 

 

 

Our little Peaches, she's not a huge fan of the beach water just yet but she does love to sit with the boys and dig in the sand and watch over them.

 

I love this page with the black and white stripe, so trendy at the moment.

 



 

 

 

 

This was the clear sheet out of the Heidi Swapp album I used.  I applied a little alcohol ink to it along with some flickers of gold paint.

 



Another page of paper layers and a heart pin clip from CP.  I have added a piece of calico under each of my photos and pulled the threads on the edges.

More flowers and gold!!!



 

For my very last page I have glittered a 2 Crafty Anchor here and wrapped it in twine.



And here this little album sits up on a shelf in our family room :)

 

 



 

Thankyou for stopping by today, I hope you all like my album as much as I do!!

 

Have a wonderful day!

Hugs xo

Happy Friday!!

Hi guys!  We are off to the beach house for the weekend, I thought I would leave you with something sweet I whipped up the other week just because I felt like making something pretty :)

 

My baby and I.......I still can't believe my baby is going to Kindy next year :(  What happened to those 3 years, I sometimes wish he was born just a month later so I would have another year at home with him....sigh**  All will be good, I will watch him flourish next year!!

 

 

 

"Our Time"

 

 

 

Plus a few closeups here:

 

I have used some of the new Epiphany collection from Prima combined with a smidgen of Hello Pastel :)

 



 

 

A 2 crafty chipboard frame and a resin frame.

Loving the new Say It In Crystals!

 

 



 

Thanks for dropping in....enjoy your weekend.

2 Crafty projects for October

 Hello!  Stopping by tonight to share with you my newest creations for 2 Crafty Chipboard and featuring some of their brand new pieces.  They are all so gorgeous :)

 

2 Crafty

 

 

 My first creation today is a layout featuring my silly, crazy family of mine!

  Lots of bright, sunshiny colours too.  I have used some of the Nest collection by Webster's pages.

 

"Happiness"

 

 

 

I have used the following 2 Crafty pieces:

 

 



Frame Hand drawn Hearts

Line Words Happiness Borders

Chicken Barbed Wire

2014

Polaroid Assortment Frames

I choose to use the Line Word Happiness as my title.  I did, however,  chop a little off each end to shorten it just a smidgen.   I applied Gesso to it first and then applied Shimmerz products in Ultra Marine and turquoise and also adding a little water to give it the water colour effect.
  I then traced a white gel pen on the edges of the colour.

 

 

I added the Polaroid Frame to the left side of my photo with foam tape.  Before adhering I painted with Gesso and then applied a stencil (which I used on the background of the layout also) with Modelling paste and sprayed with Shimmerz mists.

I added the 2014 beneath the fame and which was applied with Gesso and then mist
and then Gesso again to wash it out.

I have placed the Chicken Barbed Wire (after cutting into pieces) around my
embellishments clusters.  I treated them with Gesso and hints of Shimmerz.

I also added a little bit of Lemon Drop Dazzlerz to some of them.

 

 



I framed my photo with the Frame Hand Drawn Hearts.  I covered with Gesso and
 then wrapped some metallic turquoise thread around it.

 



My second creation today is a canvas piece measuring about 20cm x 25cm.
 It is so pretty, I really love they way it turned out and I do love pink!

"Live Laugh Love"

 

 Here are the 2 Crafty products I used on this piece:

 

 

Interlocking Grid Panel

Live Laugh Love

Frame Oval Ornate

Music Notes

 

 I started out by layering some papers in the centre.  After covering all of my chipboard pieces with Gesso I began to layer them in to the canvas too.  I tucked the Interlocking Grid Panel in under the paper layers and applied some glue and glitter, both fine and chunky gold.  I added some flicks of alchol ink and a few Say It In Crystals.



After I had the vine in place I added the Frame Oval Ornate to sit above it.  I then added
 the flowers and added flicks of gold paint and some Shimmerz Inklingz to the frame.

 

 

 

 

 

 

I used the title Live Laugh Love and added gold paint to it, it wasn't standing out so
much so I opted to add some Gesso to the edges.

 

 

 

Lastly I added a few Music Notes to various parts of the canvas.  I covered in Gesso
 and while still wet I sprinkled on some glitter.

 

 

Have a wonderful night!  I am preparing party decorations for my Dad's 60th this weekend!! 

Hugs xo
