Catching up with Aussie Scrap Source :)

Over the past couple of months I have had some creations shared over at Aussie Scrap Source.  If you have missed them, I will share them here today :)

 

The first was a punch project around the page, I choose to use the We R Memory Keepers Lucky 8 Punch in the Fancy Scroll.  Along with Prima I think this punch was the perfect addition to my seaside themed layout.

 

"Treasure"

 

 

 

 

 

 

A Pebbles Inc layout featuring Walnut Grove.  I actually had a ball with this brand (not being one of my go-to brands) and loved the result, very fun and playful!!!!  Plus I really love these colours together :)

 

"Playtime"

 



 



 

I loved cutting out and punching the arrows and the butterflies in this collection, the patterned papers are such a cute mix together!!

 



Next one is featuring Bo Bunny, Mama Razzi 2 collection.

Love the Teal and Orange in this collection and the cute little camera motifs which I foam taped to my layout.   A little bit of masking and misting :)

 

 

"Best Buds"

 

 



 

Finished off with the buttons and gems!!

 

 



 



 

 

The last layout today is using Crate Paper's Party Day.  This feature was to scrap boy's birthday pictures or party pics!  Of course Masey's first birthday shoot(I can't believe he is nearly 2)  pictures were perfect for this collection.  I popped in a little lime green and royal blue to match the photos.  The pinwheels are my favourite :)

 

 

"Happy Birthday Baby Boy"

 



 

 

Very layered as normal, love those buttons too :)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Okay, that is it for today, I hope you like them............I have a special wedding feature to share with you all soon :)

 

Hugs, thanks for stopping by xo

Back to the Shimmerz blog

 

 

So before you leave me here, I wanted to share with you some Shimmerz creations.  I created a mixed media canvas boat for my boys to put up in their room at our holiday house.  I used layers of material and paper mixed in with all of the gorgeous Shimmerz product.

 

I have used here:

Texturez in Patina and Gritty Graphite

Dazzlerz in Gummy Berry Blue

Vibez in Jeni B Bleu

Spritz in Sapphire

Shimmerz in Ultra Marine

 

Super fun and quick to make, it's all about getting messy :)

 

 



My next creation has just been shared on the Shimmerz blog.  Another beachy canvas piece.  I just can't get enough of them and the new Shimmerz products make it so easy!

 

 

This is what I used here:

 

Texturez in Tidy Whidy, Patina, Gritty Graphite and Sandy Stone

Dazzlerz in Gummy Berry Blue (yummo)

Spritz in Treasured Hyme

Shimmerz in Antique Lace

 

 

"Seaside"

 

 



I think I am addicted to the Dazzlerz Gummy Berry Blue :)

 



I used Tidy Whidy for the title, look at that texture, it's like writing in the sand :)

 

 

I used a mask to create the rock effect around each side of the photo and canvas.

I dabbed each shell with some Gesso first to whitewash and then I used the Texturez to give it colour, texture and a gritty look.

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by and taking a squiz at some of my fun things..........

Next up is the gorgeous Mirands's BLOG !!! 

Thanks for playing along with us!! Have fun, and be inspired!

More shares from the May C'est Magnifique Kit :)

Hi lovely blog readers and hello to all of my new followers too :) 

Thankyou so much for your kind comments left on my blog while you were hopping around on the C'est Magnifique Blog Hop.  The winners have been announced over here so congratulations to all of you.  Thankyou all for taking the time to visit and be inspired!!

 

I have my last 3 creations out of the May kit "Spring's Portrait" to share with you.

 

The first one of my gorgeous niece Gracie.  This was the last layout I created and I think it turned out to be my favourite.  I thought I had next to nothing left out of the kit but I was pleasently surprised!!!!

 

 

"Beautiful"

 

 

I love the colour scheme here, the touch of lime green making it different to any of the other layouts.

I made a big flower out of the apricot lace by gathering it together.  I then layered the perfect petal accent to it.

This next layout is actually based on this lovely sketch here:

My eldest and me......he's getting so big!!!

"Smile"

 



 

 

Love the gorgeous Blue Fern chipboard Butterflies.....

 



 

My last layout is featuring my nephew Max at Christmas time.  I am not a lover of using red in my pages but couldn't help but throw splashes of it in here with a Christmassy themed layout. 

 

 

"Believe"

 

 





 



I hope you enjoyed the rest of my creations using this beautiful kit......I must, however, get to bed now, it's late!!!!

Hugs xo

Paperhaus Feature :)

I am finally able to share my creations I created for Paperhaus magazine for the Spring issue.  Here is the link for the current issue.  I was honoured to be a featured artist and to have a sneak of my page on the cover was so amazing!!!! Thankyou to Frank and everyone at Paperhaus for having me :)  It's a truly beautiful magazine so check it out!!

 

 

 

 

Here is my layout that features on the cover.................

 

"Mumma's Love"

 

 

This layout would be my new favourite, I am addicted to these colours!!!!!!  Plus I just love this pic of me and my baby boy :)  I was so nervous about creating these layouts for Paperhaus, but they came together perfectly. 

Loads of gorgeous Prima and mixed media!

 

 

 



My second layout also featured Prima and a beachy theme.  I am pretty sure have noticed how much I adore creating with shells........oh, how I love the beach and collecting them!!!!  If you didn't notice the colour scheme used for both layouts were the same, this palette is just divine for spring :)

 

 

"I Want To Have Adventure's With You"

 

 



 

 



The gorgeous Corine flowers, which I just misted in the middle to match the colours!!

 

 



Thankyou so much for dropping by, hope you are having a lovely day!  We are off for a walk now to pick up the big boy from school!

Hugs xo
