It's my turn!

Hello scrappers!

It is my turn for WOW this week and I want to share with you some layouts that I have done with the super cute

Studio Calico 'Story Time' boy kit.

Isn't it gorgeous??? 
And ONLY $20

Late last year my baby sister had her first bubba and this range is just perfect to document Lachlan's first few months.

 

I couldn't believe the photo my sister sent me when I asked for updated photos... his little jump suit was perfect for this paper!

With little internet surfing I also found a cute elephant to cut out with my Silhouette that matches the paper, what a lucky find!

cute hey???

We have a few of these kits left in the store. And as an added gift to you from me, I have cut 3 sizes of this elephant to add to your kit... the catch is that you have to leave a message in the comment section that says that you saw the elephants on the blog... easy hey??  

Happy Scrapping 

WOW..Creating depth in your layouts

Hi Scrappers,

It's Kel here with our weekly instalment of...

Today Im using more of my DT kit which features the new Echo Park which you lovely ladies that purchased this kit can follow along with (or use your own supplies) to follow these steps to create more depth with your layouts.

I have also used THIS new Crafters Workshop template...LOOOVVEE!!!

For my first layer, I used ink in corresponding colours and my template to create my first layer.

Here it is finished..

To create another layer, I added some stamping..

Next, I layered some papers under my photo, the more layers, the more depth.

Now I added some washi tape ..a great and inexpensive way to add more layers..

Now its time to add embellishments and your title.

And it's finished. Why don't you have a go at creating your own page with lots of layers?

Thanks for stopping by

Kel :)

WOW - Feb Anita

Hi Peeps - Anita here & this week I'm going to tell you

about an awesome product that I LOVE!!!! 

 

POSCA PAINT PENS

As I've gotten back into my arty groove,

I love to get messy with my scrapbooking these

days (if you hadn't already guessed LOL)

So when you ink, paint, spray or whatever is

you like to do to your layout - I find a little

bit of doodling always help finish or emphasize

details.

I literally use my black pen on EVERYTHING!!

They are fantastic for doodling borders on photos

Here are a few examples where I've used

the Posca pens...

 You can get these at SFS HERE

So start doodling today!!! 

Cheers, Anita :)

ROAD TESTING with Anita

ROAD TESTING with Anita

Hey peeps! Anita here, & this a brand new thing we will be doing at SFS

& 'Road Testing' new goodies. This month's road test is using the

MME Record It Cards -'Just Splendid'

This pack is CHOCKAS!!!! 

It comes with 72 double-sided 3x4 cards, 38 double-sided 6x4 cards,

4 wood veneer cards (3x4 & 6x4)

It would be a great pack to give as a gift to someone who is starting out

doing pocket styled scrapbooking! 

 Here are the 3x4 & 6x4 Wood Veneer cards.

 These are really light - more like a balsa wood than a veneer, but just as strong.

The only thing I found was that the 3x4 cards were quite 'tight' to get into the 3x4 pockets.

I tried in BH Project Life, EP Photo Freedom, & Sn@p. They fit well in the sn@p ones,

as their pockets always are a bit bigger. The 6x4's fit in any of them - no dramas :)

I have photographed ALL the cards, so you can see them all before buying ;)

The cards themselves aren't as thick as the BH Project Life ones, but still work 

just as well for any pocket-paged spread. I like to splat paint & mess up my cards

(they didn't like the heat gun much LOL). 

You get 3 of each card design!! I love that I don't have to squirrel away my fav card,

cause it's too pretty to use - cause I have 2 more exactly the same he hehe :)

 This is my Double PL Spread I did using the cards. This is my little

niece, Charlotte. I love the colours (not too bright, not too dull).

These could be used for all sorts of themes: Baby, Party, Boys, Girls etc.

 Some close ups...
Other bits I have used are: Enamel dots, OA alphas, AC Thickers,

Posca paint pens, cardstock pieces cut on my Silhouette, washi tape,

HS Colour Shine & SC Wood veneers.

 

I'll be back on Wednesday with my WOW - so make sure you

pop back over to check it out ;)

Project Life - Themed Cards - School...

Hello Ladies!

Well, I'm assuming most of us have had all our children back off to school. So I thought, why not show a Project Life Spread using the fabulous ...

Project Life Themed Cards - School

 Becky Higgins has released lots of different themed packs to document 'those' moments in your lives.
 - you can find them HERE
{I have quite a few in my stash - they really do come in handy!}

 

The great thing about these cards is that they don't really need too much embellishing!

All I really had to do was add the photos of the "first day of school"
and then add all of the journalling

I love that there are some really cute school journalling cards with plenty of room to tell the story of the day!

 I then added a few Studio Calico Wood Veneer Embellishments & Me & My Big Ideas Clear Stickers and a little more doodling...

The School Fillers cards are CUTE and all I did was doodled around the edge, just to highlight the picture a little more...

These are perfect for your Project Life School Spreads, not just for the first day but all those other special days throughout the year too - I am sure you will see them through my Project Life 2014 album that is for sure!

Hope you are having a WOW of a Wednesday!

I hope I have inspired you to Project Life your kids first day of school!
