Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas everyone!

I’ll be sharing my Christmas Day festivity moments over at the Scraploot blog with you tomorrow, however wanted to spread some Christmas cheer and share with you a last page I finished with the Basic Grey Little Black Dress range.

 

 

 

 

Aside from the base sheet of paper, this page is entirely from scraps left from my Design Team Kit. Once again I have used the die cut shapes to bring extra dimension, as well as the element stickers. I have had a blast playing with this Basic Grey range. To recreate this page, you will need the following stock from the Scraploot online store.

Beautiful WOW

Welcome to a new week.....

I had been holding on to this gorgeous WOW dress form for the right papers and pic and whilst flicking through my holiday pics, found this one of Emma and I from Dublin. I've teamed it up with a WOW chippie title and inked it all up, finishing the title with Glossy Accents and the dress form with super fine glitter.

And a few close ups.... I've teamed up the gorgeous chippie with Authentique paper and some Prima and Kaisercraft flowers and Websters Blooms.

Happy scrapping and enjoy your week!

Some new bits of scrapping heaven....

I got super productive at the Scraploot social scrap on Saturday night and got 3 layouts (almost) complete! And to back it up, I finished a fourth last night! I must say it's the most I've done in a while.... so for your viewing pleasure......

This is the first photo I have scrapped of my gorgeous new nephew.... he is so adorable! The beautiful kit was designed by Sue at Scraploot and then I added some extra bits and pieces and layered some more paper.... as I usually do! And some close ups as well.....the WOW chippie title finished this off perfectly :)

And some more blue for good measure...... featuring yet again that adorable little nephew of mine! The new Authentique paper range and a few bits of WOW chippies.

I separated one of the corners to fit around the circle embellie that I had already stuck down and finished them all with some Twinkling H2O's.
Just to even it out, I had to use some pink. More of the beautiful new Authentique papers and WOW chippie.
I've inked up the chippie and then given it a spritz of Glimmermist.
And more balance with some pink goodness in the new Echo Park Victoria Garden range.....I've teamed this up with some pretty Kaisercraft and Prima flowers, WOW chippie and Bo Bunny pretties :)
I've coated the flourish in ink and finished with Glossy Accents. With the Chic title, I have covered in pink superfine glittery to give a super girly finish, fitting of Audrey Hepburn :)

I hope you all managed to fit in some scrapbooking over the weekend. Don't forget to head over to the WOW blog for some more DT inspiration!

Catching up in London

Whilst in London, I was able to catch up with my cousin after 9 years!! We didn't realise it had been so long and I finally got to meet her gorgeous little girl. Here's the first of one of our many photos, teamed up with some WOW chippie and the gorgeous Kaisercraft paper.

And some close ups for good measure.....
I just love this paper range and have used it so much! The flowers layer so well and the WOW chipboard finishes it off beautifully. The chipboard has been given a light spritz of Chalkboard glimmer mist.

Now I'm off to scrap one of the gorgeous new pics I got of my little nephew yesterday.... the gorgeous little munchkin is 2 weeks old and such a cutie!!

Have a great week all :)

Scraploot classes.....

I've been rather busy on the scrapping front over the last few months with starting to teach at Scraploot and my Design Team work for Words or Whatever and I've been having so much fun and loving the lovely network of creative friends I have made.

I haven't gotten around to posting the classes I've taught yet, so here goes...From March, the following 3 layouts.

And a few details for good measure... the ladies mastered the art of creating your own ribbon flowers.
"Adorable" was the monthly double with some fun, bright papers, featuring a Words or Whatever - WOW title.
And a few close ups of each side....
I love this Kaisercraft paper range..... another WOW chipboard title for this one too. They work so well!
Some of the finer details...
And one for April.... just in time for Easter. Yep, that's me in the pic..... way back in primary school at the Easter Hat Parade!

Some cute details..... lots of bright colours here.
Pop in and visit Scraploot to check out the class schedule for the rest of April and sign up so you can receive the schedule straight to your Inbox each month. Stay tuned for some sneak peaks of my May class when I get back from holidays.

Happy scrapping xx

Off the page work

Happy Australia Day!

Sydney has hit a heat wave this week, so I am spending my Australia Day perched in front of the air con! It's perfect timing to sit in front of the laptop and upload some recent off the page work is below for your viewing pleasure....

The beautiful photo tray from Words or Whatever (WOW).... I have used textured paste over the frame and painted cream and finished off with lots of WOW chipboard and some Kaisercraft paper. There are a mix of flowers in here, including my Prima favourites! A few close ups of some of the detail are below.
Also part of the photo tray is this middle section, i took it out and created a separate frame. I have also used a chippie dress form from WOW.

The details....
A great shadow box photo frame from WOW together with the WOW double chippie heart on top and a WOW key amongst the flowers.
A few close ups...
Lastly another shadow box frame. I created this one for Mum. A rare pic of my brother, sister and I :) I've used a WOW heart on this one too.

Close ups...
The frames are really simple but effective gift ideas and don't take very long to pull together. They are a great mini project idea :)

I hope you are all enjoying your Australia Day festivities and enjoy the rest of the week.

Recent-ish work

Well it's been a while between posts again and early warning, it will no doubt be a long one!! I was trying to get into the habit of posting regularly, so hopefully the new year will kick me back into gear! The last few months have been crazy with selling, finding somewhere to move to, moving, unpacking and trying to get ourselves sorted in general, so it's been difficult to get much of anything done!

After weeks of endless and stressful searching, we found a lovely 3 bed townhouse a little closer to work! I have my own permanent scrapping space next to Ben's PC space on the top floor, so no need to constantly pack it up or worry what state it's in!

We've had a few dramas with a leak somewhere in the ensuite and spent 7 weeks on a mattress on the floor in the spare room until our agent and strata sorted it all out. 5 plumbers later and many a headache, it was repaired and we moved into the main bedroom the week before Christmas. Needless to say we still have a few boxes to unpack and a load at my parents, but we will eventually get there! It's lovely having so much more space, we just have to get used to it!

I have been fortunate enough to find time to scrap, so for your viewing pleasure, here is a collection of work from the last 2 months or so. I hope you enjoy and can gain some inspiration....


A fun LO using Graphic 45.... this pic of my sister and I was taken some time ago at a friend's fancy dress birthday party. It worked so well with this paper range. A few of the details up close...
This adorable munchkin is one of my cousin's kids. They are just so photogenic! These were taken at a family birthday celebration back in June and I just love the pics I was able to capture. I have used a WOW chipboard scroll for this one.

And of course, a few close ups of the details, including some rare journalling from me!


I just love this Kaiser range! I've used a number of WOW chipboard on this one as well.... the dress form, flourish and viney flourish (I don't know the exact names, so head over to the website to check them out).

And the close ups of this gorgeous paper...
And yes the same range again with a different spin.... a cute LO of my sisters's beautiful golden retriever. All chippie is from WOW.


A rare family pic of my hubby and his family...I've used a WOW flourish on this one and one of my all time favourite Basic Grey paper ranges and I just love these Websters blooms.

I simply love this My Minds Eye glittered paper! And a gorgeous pic of my sister and sister in law as well :)

I had a bot of a clean up of my stash and found this old but beautiful Websters range... and some beautiful WOW chipboard which has been glimmermisted! I adore this beautiful pic of my sister as well :)
The pretty close ups....
A lovely reflective shot of my beautiful husband. Using Kaisercraft paper and WOW chipboard.

Another pic of one of my cousin's kids. I simply adore this pic! A bright fun LO featuring WOW chipboard.
And the close up detail of course....

Well I hope you have all made your way to the end and I haven't bored you all to tears. I'll save the Off The Page stuff for another post, just to keep some of you intrigued!

Have a great week :)
