A weekend with " ♥ Us layout "

Hellooooo...

Well I have another share with you this morning with another layout that I created for a class over at the Scrap N Patch a couple of weeks ago.. we had a fun day and  even managed to make Mini Album from the Teresa Collins Nine & Co . You can see that post HERE . 

We played with lots of fun Couture Creations flower dies and created a fun wreath layout.. It did test out cutting skills a few times, but we got there in the end.. 

So let's take a peek.. 

We played around with gesso, watercolours and looked at how we could use plastic template to create a background.. 

 I loved the way this layout came together and I was so excited to show the ladies how to stretch their supplies and think about different ways to use their dies... 

Thanks so much for stopping by,, 

Till next time 

Much love

A weekend with " XO - layout"

Helloooo...

Well I have been a little busy here, wrapping up the end of the school holidays and then getting myself ready also to head back to work ready for the school year...

So for the past couple of weeks ( after my awesome vacay) I have been just focusing on getting organised for the new year.. 

But I finally had time to scrap and decided to play with my super pretty and bright 

Hello Sunshine collection from Pink Paislee. 

I have been loving playing with my floral dies from Couture Creations so was happy how the flower clusters turned out.. Gotta be happy with that :) 

I have a few more ideas for this collection, including a mini clip board album and file folder.. so I am off to play some more.. 

Thanks so much for stopping by 

Till next time

A weekend with " Our Life - Mini Album"

Helloooo..

Well a couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to teach a full day class at my local scrapbooking store " The Scrap N Patch" . It was a full day based on the gorgeous Nine and Co collection by Teresa Collins. 

The class was created to show how to use the mini files to create a fun and interactive mini album, and then with the left overs to create a couple of more layouts.. I also used the ephemera pack, the tags packet and couple of the larger 12 x12 sheets from her collection, like the gorgeous gold foil paper. 

So today I wanted to share with you the mini album, and then in a couple of days I will show you the main layout :) 

Ok here goes...

To piece the album together simply using some Seam Binding Tape threaded through the spine. 

We created some extra black glitter bows with glitter paper to add some contrast.. just cause we can :P

Below I create an interactive mini within the mini.. In the photos below you will see how I created a tab to help keep the pages in place :) 

I had so much fun creating and teaching this class... 

The ladies were a blast , lots of coffee and treats had and a general awesome day with new friends.., 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Till next time

A weekend with " Friends 4 Eva" layout.

Hellooooo...

Today I wanted to share with you this layout I made of this sweet photo of my daughter and her cousin!! These two are like sisters.. love each other one minute, hate each other the next - but always friends and always want to see each other..

I used a black and white photo to help compliment the Star- Crossed collection from

 Bo Bunny. I adore this collection and have so many more ideas - I just need to find more hours in the day!! 

I pulled some of my older punches , scallop, circle and butterflies and used the 6 x 6 paper pad. 

This was a really simple layout to pull together and took me roughly an hour to complete!! I love when that happens.. sometimes it can take me days to get one layout complete ..

Thanks so much for stopping by...

Till next time

A weekend with " Best Friends "

hellooooo...

. 

Well this was my last post for the Scrappy Canary team.. :( 

 It is so bitter sweet as I was  with the team through so many changes and this was actually the very first design team that I joined :) It was being accepted onto this team that gave me the push to apply for Scrapbooking Memories Masters and the BoBunny team which I have been lucky to be accepted onto both teams.. 

So THANK YOU Scrappy Canary for taking a chance on me and believing in me, and for allowing me to take a leap and go after my scrappy dreams.. 

So let me share with you my last layout I made using the December Scrapbooking Kit - Sunshine & Lollipops. 

I managed to have some play with my Gelatos and my shimmerz paints with lots of layering..  When I started to add the gelatos I was really disliking the colour and stressing that I had buggered up the layout .. So I added stamping, watercolors and anything else I could get my hands on to keep laying.. Now I love how it turned out.. 

I did struggle to journal over the top of the gelatos and literally had a go with about 5 different pens and then found my slick writer to work best over the top. 

Well thank you all for support throughout my time here and I will certainly be around to see the exciting things ahead for the Canary girls.

Till next time 

Much Love

A weekend with "Hellooooooooo"

Hellooo ..

Well I am soaking up the last bits of sunshine on my holiday at the Gold Coast at the moment.. Yeah I would hate me too !! 

But I thought I would share one of my layouts that I created a couple of weeks ago for the Scrappy Canary blog using their sketch challenge as the basis to my layout. 

. I used the December Scrapbooking Kit - Sunshine & Lollipops to complete the layout and loved all the pieces in this kit!!   .

The grid style layout is so fun to work with and is a staple of mine when scrapbooking. 

To help attach the gorgeous Pink Paislee letters I firstly used my Glossy Accents , and once that dried I sewed them down :) 

I love fussy cutting out these gorgeous flowers from the new "Through the Year " collection by Jennifer Gallacher.. They are the sweetest little bunches of flowers ♥ 

Well thanks so much for stopping by ...

Till next time

A weekend with " Happy Days -Misc Me"

Hellooo

Well last week I shared over on the BoBunny Blog my Misc Me layout using the new Bo Bunny Rose Cafe collection. I just love this collection and was even more excited when I realised it matched these photos of my daughter turning six. 

I only used two patterned paper sheets to complete this layout ( win - win) as I cut p the 3x4 and the 6 x 4 cards from the collection.. Then putting the layout together was super fast as all the hard work was done for me already.. 

Once I cut up all the cards from the patterned paper, it was just a matter of adding some matching accents from the noteworthy pack and sprinkling through some of the gorgeous Elegant wood shapes.

i just adore this photo of my two little ones!! I think I should make a larger copy and display it, as it makes me smile everytime I see it. 

When adhering the photos to the 3x 4 cards I did not want to place the photos over the cute accents. So I used a sharp cutting blade and gently cut around the flowers to be able to tuck my photo in behind.

Thanks so much for stopping by

Till next time 

Much love

A weekend with " Heidi Swapp - Glitter PL kit"

Helloooo..

Well I have been so excited to play with this new Heidi Swapp - Glitter Project Life kit.. I was gifted one of these by my lovely step mother that she grabbed while she was on vacation in America!!

All the cards in this pack are just gorgeous!!!  

This is  snapshot of the layout with the extra insert below.. 

All the cards in this kit work so beautifully together.. 

Although the card below is by far my favourite card ..lol.. yes I am biased but how adorable is that little drawing :) 

I kept this weeks spread really simple, which is not my usual style, but fun none the less.

 This week there are no alpha titles on each card, no outlines around each card and no layering of patterned paper..  Those three things are my staple- my go too for each Project Life layout and I found myself reaching out each time  to add one of those three elements. 

This week it was also mothers day so I also added an extra interest that holds the handmade cards that the kids made for me .. 

I added in another insert with this week as well and kept it super simple.. 

I have the other Heidi Swapp Project life kits so am on a mission to play with them all over these school holidays:) 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Till next time

A weekend with " Explore - Memory File"

Hellooo

Well today  I am off for a week holiday to the Gold Coast with my children.. We have been saving all year for this holiday so we are super excited to relax by the pool and do what ever we want when we want for a full week.. ha ha..

So will I am away I have lined up a week full of posts of all the scrappy shenanigans I have been up too for the last couple of weeks..

So I wanted to start with this Heidi Swapp memory file I created !! I have been trying to find the time to create this for a while now and I am sooooo happy I finally made some time, as I LOVE how it turned out.. 

 I used the older No Limits collection as it was a PERFECT collection to match all the graffiti art photos.. 

So grab a cuppa as this is photo heavy :) 

The kids and I went to see the new local street art initiative that was around our local city of Toowoomba. The council had organised a group of artists to come in and spray paint different building and ally ways around town.. We had fun trying to spot them and at some points were literally running around the streets looking for the next mural.. 

So this memory file just captures all the murals we found out and about.

To create the album itself I cut down a few inches off two of the memory files and then simply ran it down the middle through my sewing machine.. 

I used my white - Uniball Signo pen to write directly onto the background.. 

Well thanks so much for stopping by and thanks so much for your kind comments.. they relly do make me smile.. 

Till next time 

Much love
