Adora-Bubble Mixed Media layout - FabScraps Zooty Cuties Collection

Hello Everyone

I have another FabScraps mixed media page to share with you and it's using the Zooty Cuties Collection. It's a really sweet collection, especially for baby and toddler pages! ;-)

Here's my page.

I used a photo of Joe from a little photo shoot that we did, when he was about 2, going on 3,

Here's a close-up of the title, which I did with weathered embossing powder and some paint. FabScraps have gorgeous chippies, which match along with each collection.

I used quite a few die-cuts on this page. They always make for pretty layers.

I used a circle stencil for the circle and crackle paint and then outlined it with a koki pen.

I also positioned the 2 little butterflies where I did, so that it looks like Joe is watching them! ;-)

Anyways...hope you have a good evening!

Cheers for now.

Me and My Boy - BoBunny Mix it Up

Hello Everyone

BoBunny is giving away gorgeous prizes for 40 days, so if you haven't popped over yet to their blog, then it's a good time to scoot over, as they are already on day 7. There are so many chances to win! ;-)

I am up on the blog today with a layout that I really love and I really also had so much fun making it.

Out for Publication

I created this layout using 4 collections - Baby Bump, Pop Quiz, The Avenues and Modern Miss. I love that these collections are so versatile and can be mixed up to create a page, with such a great, finished look.

I went with a fresh and modern design, which compliments the 3 main collections nicely. In this design, I was also able to use the fabulous washi tape, which is my new "go to" BoBunny supply! I simply love it!

Since this page is about my son and I, I kept the flowers to a minimum. Here I  used BoBunny petals,  more of the chipboards and diecuts as embelishments, to keep the styling more general. I also used stamps on the background to add little touches of interest.

This little journalling chipboard was just perfect for my thoughts. It really tells the story of this page and photo! My son gave me the "thumbs up" on this page, so I was really thrilled about that!

BoBunny Supplies:
Patterned Paper: Great Expectations/ Baby Bump; Study Hall/ Pop Quiz; Authentic, Selfie/ Modern Miss
Cardstock: Jade Dot
Stickers: Cardstock Sticker/ Modern Miss
Brads: Baby Bump
Chipboard: 12 x 12/ Modern Miss; 12 x 12/ Pop Quiz
Stamps: It is Written; You're Invited
6 x 6 Paper Pad: Modern Miss; Pop Quiz
Petals: The Avenues
Washi Tape: Black & White Patterned

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I do so love your comments...
Have a super Saterday!

Enjoy - Prima PPP April 2014

Hello Everyone

I am just in time to still upload my Prima PPP page for April. I have no idea where April went, but this month has just flown by and May is a few hours away! ;-)



So here is my take on the challenge.

I used the All About Me collection, which I simply just love! It's fresh and beautiful and I really loved these papers.

I have been dabbling with my embossing powders and embossed the circles on the patterned paper and then also embossed, after stamping over a Prima stencil.

Here are the close-ups below. I used clear embossing powder, with a little bit of bling in.

Then I did some spritsing and wiped off all the excess, for a super result.

I used Enmarc chipboard leaves, to complete the clusters.

These 2 pretty girls are my neices and they are sisters.  They really do fight and get into each others hair, but every now and then they are friends and also enjoy each others company. So this layout is about them enjoying each other and I have a little note under the "notes" tab, where I have written my thoughts about this sisterly love! LOL

Thanks for stopping by...
Your comments and love are so appreciated!
Have a super evening!

40 Winks - CSI Case File 112 & Scrapfriends March Sketch Challenge

Hello Everyone

From a very rainy and chilly Johannesburg, I write this post! Whatever has happened to our summer???!!!
I managed to photograph this page today, but had to be taken inside as for 3 days now we have not seen the sun.  Anyways, so here was the case file, as well as the sketch from ScrapFriends.







I created this page.

These photo's were taken when Joe was 3. He is so very sweet here and is so very peaceful.

Here is a close-up of my journalling and tells you what this page is all about. ;-)

I used some twine to place the focus on this sweet photo. The background is a mix of gesso, stencilling, stamping and spritzing.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a super evening!
