ScrapPlezier - Cousins

I have another layout up on the blog at ScrapPlezier today.

I took my inspiration start point from the moodboard for this month. The papers I used are from Kaisercraft Hidden Treasures Collections - Swap & Fleamarket. I also added my subtitle from my stash of Tiny Alphas. The large title and flowers are all old stash that I've had for years... trying very hard to use up what I have on hand. I add some gold bling scattered around the page and finished off the flowers with some mix and match brads.

Join us on the blog for lots more inspiration.

ScrapPlezier - July moodboard

This month's moodboard is up and it sure was inspiring to play with.

My layout is a Jowilna original design.

I used the Kaisercraft Finders Keepers Collection on my layout:-
Curio (the flowers and the pink stripe) as two strips on my page,
Treat (the yellow word paper) at the bottom to pick up the colours from the moodboard.

As an extra I used Distress Oxide ink in shades of teal and blue to do stamping on the background. The heart was done with Geli printing and the title was cut out on my Silhouette before I heat embossed it with WOW powder in peacock colours... again inspired by the colours of the moodboard. Final touches are a few buttons and stitching.

Come play along on the blog and see what the rest of the team did with this moodboard.

Scrap&Sell South Africa - sketch layouts

On the Facebook group Scrap&Sell South Africa, Michelle hosts a bi-weekly sketch competition... well I try my hand at it but don't always get to submit my layout on time... this time I did... yippee.

So this is using the sketch # 9. I also did Sketch # 8 at the end of June but had to wait till this week to add my photos to them.

I have got a few more layouts planned using these bi-weekly sketches so hopefully will get them scrapped soon too.

Stick It Down - July sketch

Today is the first reveal for the Double Page Team at Stick It Down...

This sketch has sooooo much potential. I used some bright colours in various leftovers pieces for the flags on the right hand page. I then chose a piece of Penelope Dee paper for my background on the left and added a whole bunch of diecut starts scattered over the two pages to tie them together.

Come play along on the blog and you could stand a chance to win a prize.

Let's Scrap Sketches - 1 July

It's been a quiet two weeks on my blog... simply because I've been sick and not up to scrapping or blogging. But now I am feeling much better and it's time to get caught up. Yesterday the new sketch was revealed for Let's Scrap.

I played with my distress oxide inks to create my circles and then used Lady Pattern Paper for the rest. I also diecut my title out of some of the inked paper. I stamped some cogs in the background too just for added detail and then lastly added some buttons.

Come play along all month on the blog and you could win a gift certificate prize.

ScrapPlezier - Every Flower

I've been sick in bed since last Friday... feeling very yuck and not up to much. I can't remember when last I was this sick... think it's over 10 years ago when I had pneumonia. Oh well at least it's a break from the normal routine I guess. I haven't managed to do any scrapping either feeling so under the weather, so it's nice to see a blog post pop up that I did a while back and can now show off.

On my layout I used 2 strips from High Tea Collection - Tea Leaves and AfternoonTea
I added so stamping with stamps from: Oh So Lovely Clear Stamp CS211

I coloured some book paper with oxide inks. one piece is the focal point on the left page. On another piece I stamped some birds and cut them out for adding to my page. I then die cut my title on my Silhouette Curio. Also did a few bits of hand sewing and added buttons, bling and ink splatters.

I can't take all the credit for this design as it is a pure scraplift of a page design by Jowilna Nolte... simply love her work and the inspiration that is gives me. The tecniques have helped me grow immensely too as a scrapper.

Come and play along with us at ScrapPlezier and get loads of inspiration ideas each week.

Let's Scrap Sketch - 15 June

Today is reveal day at Let's Scrap... I did a matching layout to the one I showed a couple of weeks ago.

I chose some old Bo Bunny paper from my stash to use on this layout along with some very old rubons. I even dug out my stencils to make my title.

Come play along on the blog and see what the other girls did with this sketch.

ScrapPlezier - Published

Following on from the moodboard this month, I continued the floral theme and made this layout

I use Kaisercraft paper from these collections:
Hippy Girl Collection - Earth
Chanteuse Collection - Staccato

For added effect I hand stitched around each of the small squares. Used letter stickers for my title and handwritten journalling.

Come and play along on the blog and get inspired by the team.

ScrapPlezier - June Moodboard

This month's moodboard is up and it is soooooooo pretty. I decided to do a layout about flowers.

For this page I used the Kaisercraft Cottage Rose collection
Crochet - green piece, floral tag
Garden - grey & pink stips
Welcome - background
Floral Bouquet - title strip

I kept the layout fairly simple with some machine stitching on the tag, the addition of a straw and twine near the main photo and a few stamps.

This is the moodboard we played with. It is a lot more "peachy" than my layout turned out... but it is definitely where I got my inspiration from.

Why not join us on the blog and play along this month?
