Let's Scrap Sketches - 15 November
Phew this month is flying past and I've done hardly any scrapping... yip I've been busy quilling up a storm... got a whole host of orders. (remember to see more on my other blog or facebook). Anyway, the main reason for today's post is there is another sketch reveal up on Let's Scrap.
Yikes I only managed to do a single page this week... I simply did not have enough photos on hand to make the double and so decided to downscale my layout. It still works and is just another option for using a sketch. I must still also just add my journalling to this layout.
I used some old "Art from the Heart" papers by Tracy Schimper for my layout... still must say that this is one of my favourite ranges.
So come and play along on the blog and see what the rest of the DT did this week.

A little threesome
Last week I was busy with a fun order... I made these three little creatures which will soon be jetting off to Cape Town.
Each of these creatures started out as just an idea and then after searching pinterest they were born. Yes I am not totally original, I'll be the first to admit I work best from a pattern, but these three are definitely more my own than not.
So if there is something you are looking for and I haven't made it yet, don't be scared to ask... it might very well be the next creation made by me.

ScrapPlezier - Recycled
I have a new layout up on the ScrapPlezier blog
This layout is all about Aaron's Grade 8 art project that he had to make. They had to make an outfit out of recycled stuff. He choose a steampunk theme. He altered an old belt; turned a pair of pants into a waistcoat with old buttons and paperclip closures; made a pocketwatch out of a bedside clock; made a newspaper bowtie; and then made a hat from scratch using milk carton and foam. He had loads fun making this project.
To enhance the photos I used the Kaisercraft Barber Shoppe Collection (Aftershave) as well as a few of the cards from the Shave piece of paper. I added in a couple of stickers from the ScrapYard Collection sticker sheet. The layout includes lots of little details such as stamped dots, stars and words, ink splats, buttons and bling on photo corners. I also assembled my own rosette using leftover scraps and just layered everything together. Lastly I used a variety of black letter stickers for my title.
This is another Jowilna original inspired layout.. love putting my own twists on her awesome designs.
Come over to the blog and get inspired some more.

ScrapPlezier - November Moodboard
We have been feeling the summer heat here this last week, but it's always nice to be able to scrap a different seasonal layout..and today it's autumn for the moodboard challenge at ScrapPlezier.
On my layout I used a variety of Kaisercraft collections. I started with the Dear Santa Collection - Doll House paper for my background colour and this is where I matched the inspiration in the moodboard. I then added the Green Ruler which is the title strip from Cottage Rose Collection - Crochet. The other little strips are
Tiny Wood Collection (bar code strip) - orange leaves
Fly Free Collection - Bestie (bar code strip) - green leaves
Bows and Arrows Collection - Forest - blue and wood circles
To continue the autumn theme I cutout leaves from the Bombay Sunset Collection - Daybreak. I added a few dots through a stencil using some green crackle paint which I darkened by added some memento brown ink to. Lastly I added some stitching and scattered a few bits of bling around my page.
Thanks to Jowilna for the original layout idea that I worked from. Here's the moodboard too.

Scrap Affairs competition
In most of the Scrap Affairs magazines there is a sketch competition with a theme of some sort attached. Well in the last issue (No 55) there was one again with the added requirement of adding lots of colour. So I chose to scrap some pantomime photos.
This was the original sketch:
So I did a few fun things on my page. For the background I mixed a whole host of different embossing powders into a tub of leftover clear.... that is I made my own rainbow embossing powder.
I then stamped through a star stencil with watermark ink before sprinkling the embossing powder over and heating it. Rather chuffed with how it turned out.
In the space of the big circle, I decided to cut a castle out on my Curio machine to add to the fairytale effect. I cut it out in black to ground the whole page. I used a piece of school themed Penelope Dee paper for the title strip as it picked up on the star and colour effect I was looking for. Next I added some glitter and colourful washi tapes for some of the strips, to keep with the bling effect.
The small photo above the title is actually a little booklet. I scanned the program in and printed out the cover, cast list,screens and the storyline. I also included my journalling in the little book.
Lastly there is a smattering of coloured bling scattered around the page plus the title made up of various sticker and chipboard letters.

Stick It Down - November Double Sketch
The new sketches are up on the blog and today is the double page team reveal.
This seems like rather a busy page but it actually works quite well. It's the ideal layout to stretch your supplies with too...I think I only used half a sheet of each of the papers except for the tent one across the middle which is just a full sheet cut in half.
I used different twines across the bottom and stickers for my title.
Come play along on the blog and get inspired by the rest of the team.
