Stork Card - Graphic 45 Baby 2 Bride

Hello Everyone

A colleague is going off on maternity leave soon and so I was asked to make a card for her.

I used the soft and pretty Baby 2 Bride collection from Graphic 45.

Since it's going to be a boy, I emphasised blue.

I also used a chipboard piece from Enmarc, which I embossed with distress embossing powder.

I did a fair amount of fussy cutting! ;-)

I hope she will he happy with it.

Anyways, thanks so much for stopping by!

I really appreciate the visits.

Have a super day!

Story/Win Layout - ScrapBerry's Edge of Town Collection

Hello Everyone

Apologies for being missing in action but I was really not well last week.

Thank goodness I am sooo much better and feeling myself again! ;-)

I was up on the ScrapBerry's blog with a mixed media layout, which I really love.

It's been a while since I created a rather masculine page.

Here's the page.

I used the Edge of Town Collection, which is soooo cool! ;-)

I has rusty elements and cogs...so perfect for boys! ;-)

I also used some of the Pentart Rust Effect solutions on some washers, to make them old and rusty.

I also used stamps and inks for the background.  I kept it masculine and fairly simple.

I would love it if you popped along to ScrapBerry's and had a peek...

Summer Paradise - Penelope Dee

Hello Everyone

I had the absolute privilege of playing with the Summer Breeze Collection from Penelope Dee.

So thanks a ton Glenda, for this fabulous opportunity.

Here's the first page I created.

I used the Penelope Dee stencil and some crackle paint and watercolour features for the background, along with some fussy cut circles and paint splatters.

Here's some close-ups.

I also used some brown beads on the background. On the chipboard pieces I heat embossed with Distress powders.

This collection is really so versatile and can be used for feminine or masculine pages.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a super day!

Art Journal Page - Berry71Bleu November Mood Board

Hello Everyone

I am up on the Berry71Bleu blog today, with an art journal page.

Here's the fabulous mood board this month.

Here is my take.

I used the Summer Breeze Collection from Penelope Dee.

I loved this sentiment and so that was the inspiration, along with the colours, which were perfect for the mood board.

There are many layers of paint, stamping, stencilling and bits of patterned papers.

I am happy with how it turned out.

There is still time to play along with the mood board.

You have until 30 Nov.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I hope you have a fabulous day!

Wedding Card - BoBunny Juliet & Sizzix Bigz Die - Calliope Item #661243

Hello Everyone

I hope that you are all having a super day! ;-)

I have a friend at work, whose daughter is getting married in a few weeks time! 

He's such a good pal and always helps me out with this and that and so I told him that I would make a card for him, for his daughter.

He is really emotional about this wedding coming up and I can just imagine what he will be like on the day.

Anyways, so I really wanted to make a special card for him to give to his daughter.

Here it is.

I used the BoBunny Juliet Collection.  This is still one of my most favourite and romantic collections.

I used a gorgeous swirly chipboard from Enmarc, which I distress embossed and I also used a Tim Holtz stencil and distress ink to create the stencilled background.

As you know I have also been making my own flowers and this is one that I so love, becuase the colouring is so soft and beautiful! ;-)

Once again I used my favourite Sizzix die! ;-)

Art Journal Page - BoBunny's Stencils and Stamps

Hello Everyone

I am sharing an art journal page today! ;-)

I am sharing lots of BoBunny's stamps and stencils! ;-)

Here's the page! ;-)

I created the background with distress inks and stickable stencils and stamps.

Here's some closer shots...

I really love this quote I found...

She couldn't feel her wings

But knew they were there

So she built a ladder

That lead to the sky

And when she touched the clouds

She remembered how to fly!

Isn't that beautiful! ;-)

This was just the piece that I needed to lift my spirit! ;-)

Thanks so much for popping by my blog! ;-)

I really do appreciate the love and comments you leave! ;-)

Have a super day!

Mixed Media Tags - Scrap Africa Challenge no.80

Hello Everyone

It's my Birthday today and it's 4am in the morning and I cannot sleep anymore! ;-)

So I decided to come and sit at my PC and catch up with a whole lot of posts etc.

There's a new challenge at Scrap Africa.  Here's the sketch below.

I created some mixed media tags, based on the sketch.

I used the gorgeous Enchanted Harvest Collection from BoBunny.

I just love Sunflowers and so this collection is definitely one of my favourites.

Here's the individual tags.

I did lots of fussy cutting and also used some of the gorgeous new products from Pentart, that BoBunny distributes. I used the Brass Contour Liner on the chipboard pieces and the White Contour Liner along the edges of the tag.

Here's a look at the second one.

You can clearly see on this one that I used the Brass and White Contour Liners.  They were so easy to work with and have a really fine nib for the contours.

The flowers are handmade by me and I used BoBunny cardstock and Sizzix die-cut layers.

Sizzix Bigz Die - Calliope

Item #661243

I so love for these flowers turned out and this is certainly one of my favourite die-cuts.

So please pop over to the Scrap Africa blog  and see the fabulous inspiration! ;-)
There is also some BoBunny goodies up for grabs! ;-)

Thanks ever so much for stopping by!
I hope you have a fabulous day!
