Happy Canvas - Scrap Africa Mood Board Challenge no.61

Hello Everyone

There is a fabulous new mood board up at Scrap Africa here! ;-)

I so loved the colours.

Anyways, so I went with my favourite Graphic 45 collection, Botanical Tea! LOL

I love this sentiment and it fits perfectly with what I was doing, and that was creating! Crafting and creating makes me happy to feel alive!!! ;-)  The stamp is a Kaisercraft one.

Lots of fussy cutting and layering....

Maybe you can join in....we would love you to!

Have a super weekend!

More Circle Tags - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

I had so much fun creating the Genevieve circle tags that I created some Christmas one's too! @ Lizzy....yes I had that idea too with these Typo tags! LOL

I used the super Dear Santa Collection from BoBunny, along with some BoBunny stickable stencils! 

The two round one's above also have some gesso and liquid pearls on, for a mixed media effect.

Here's a look at the individual tags. On this one I used crackle paste and liquid pearls.

The one below is created with stickable stencils and distress inks.

This one is gesso and distress inks.

And the last 2 just distress inks and stickable stencils.

I am so pleased with how these tags came out and it's a good addition to my Christmas needed goodies! ;-)  They were also so much fun to make and relatively easy too! ;-)

Hows your Christmas goodies coming along?

Have a super evening!

Relax & Unwind Canvas - FabScraps Tranquility Collection

Hello Everyone

It has been a HOOOOOT week in Johannesburg...everyday is above 30C.  Even this evening, I am siting here with the fan going and it's really hot! ;-)

I created a canvas a while back and I can finally share it with you! ;-) I used the fabulous Tranquility Collection from FabScraps. You can find the tutorial here!

I went with a retro feel to this canvas and it's a bit "tongue in cheek" with the title "Relax and Unwind". I don't suppose the ladies in the 50s and 60s had much of that, since they were forever in the kitchen! LOL

I fussy cut these blooms and layered them up, from the pieces below.

Here's a look at the top part of the canvas.

FabScraps do their own range of stencils, which I really like and you will see that I used one here too.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you had a scrappy Sunday! ;-)
Have a super evening!

Circle Tags - BoBunny Genevieve Collection

Hello Everyone

I hope that you are having a sterling week! ;-)

I went circle tag crazy this week and really created a number of tags for various occasions.

Here are some I created with the gorgeous Genevieve Collection from BoBunny.

They are general tags and I will put sentiments on as I require.

My sister had given me some tags from Typo, for Christmas last year, and they have now eventually found their use! ;-)

These fussy cut birds from this collection are so pretty! Maybe I should call them Tweety Tags! LOL

Anyways...thanks for stopping by.
I hope you have a super evening!

Recipe Book - FabScraps Country Kitchen Collection

Hello Everyone

I have a tutorial up on the FabScraps blog for a recipe book that I created for FabScraps.  I used the gorgeous Country Kitchen Collection.

This post is graphic intensive...LOL...so be warned! ;-) Let's start with the cover.

I used acrylic paints and some papers and also embossed the platter and the chefs hat.

Then come the rest of the pages.  I love the French Country feel to this collection and so this is what I also brought to the recipe book.  I kept it shabby and little rustic, by using lots and lots of white acrylic paint.

What would a Denise project be without lots of fussy cutting!!!! ;-)

This is one of my favourite patterned papers becuase of the sunflowers.  Aren't they just gorgeous!!!!

This crate paper is just so super! ;-)

You might think that the white washing is a little rustic and it is! LOL...It was intentional and adds to the French Country feel.

I really enjoyed creating this recipe book and it actually came together quite easily.

I certainly plan to use it and add recipes galore! ;-)

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a super weekend!
