Awesome - Scrapbook Layout with Emma.

Hi everyone,
Emma here, sharing a quick layout I made with more of the awesome ScrappingClearly goods. 

This layout starts with some Distress oxides, Faded Jeans and Iced Spruce. 

Then, using 2 sheets from the the September Skies 6x6 paper pad,
I cut strips to layer behind my photo, on top of some plasterer's tape.

I used a couple of the Heidi Swapp acrylic stars, as well as veneer, under my layers, and also used some Studio Calico stars. 

Lastly, I used a few more of the wood veneers from Heidi Swapp to finish my embellishments, but chose to keep them plain to add a little brightness to the layout. 

A nice simple quick layout to start the month off. 

We have some pretty cool challenges this month so I hope you get the
chance to be in the running for a very awesome $30 prize. 

I’ll see you all very soon. 

Em xx

PROJECT MY LIFE

Hey hey hey!

Thanks for stopping by! Seems its confession time here... Being a DT member is a blessing and I am so thankful for the opportunity to represent such a fantastic store, and to work with this crazy talented bunch of ladies BUT it is also a challenge! In being a DT member I am provided with store items to share how I use them in my layouts and hopefully inspire some of you lovelies to give these products a go. But this months kit - well its a challenge! Full of lovey dovey cards and journal prompts, when my relationship has ended just a few months ago and I am not feeling particularly lovey dovey lol.
SO I  had to rethink the way I was scrapping to see if I could find a way to showcase these gorgeous products. I think I did okay :)

Thought I would share something a little more relaxed this week, so here is a couple of 6x12 layouts that I have just completed.

I wanted to make sure that I did a layout celebrating how much we LOVE Australia Day - but I didn't want it to be all red and blue (I find that leans toward USA Independence Day). So I thought the love themed cards were perfect for sharing! The cards used are from MAMBI and the gold overlay is from the Heidi Swapp collection http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/heidi-swapp/project-life-foil-photo-pocket-pages-2/ teamed with gorgeous enamel dots and cheap alpha stickers that I made a little more funky with some black doodling.

 

This next layout is going in an album I am doing just for me... I am pretty sure this album will evolve as time goes on, but I am going to start sharing some more of it. It might not be traditional content, but that's how it works with PROJECT MY LIFE!

 



This layout came together so quickly, and I am really happy with how it turned out! Once again, the MAMBI cards and some gorgeous embellishments and it all just flowed, completed in about 20 minutes. This is probably a little less embellished that I usually create too. I used some Heidi Swapp lace trim http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/group/heidi-swapp-wanderlust-ribbon-spool-white/ and Heidi's gold foil from the value kit http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/heidi-swapp/project-life-gold-foil-value-kit-2/ with some Studio Calico Veneer hearts http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/group/studio-calico-embellishments-wood-veneer-hearts-arrows/ that I just coloured with some gold Color Shine http://www.scrappingclearly.com.au/shop/heidi-swapp/color-shine-gold-lame/. Just a tip, if you are colouring your veneers with the Color Shine, be patient, let the first coat dry and apply a second coat for awesome results!

Cheers,

Ree

This Girl Loves Photos

Good morning, Rikki here with the my last post for August, wow time flies, we must be getting to the business end of the year, kinda scary !!! Right???? Anyway, scrapping waits for no time, and that is ever so true, especially when we are always trying to catch up with photos.

Sometimes the simplistic, is the way to go and you end up with a beautiful layout. The Chickaniddy range is really about that, designed with 365 in mind you can do a great layout quickly and effortlessly.

Using things from your stash is also a great thing, look for glassine bags, doilies and tags for instant layers.

Dont forget to keep your little strips that are on the bottom of the pattern papers, they make great titles and boarders.

Live Moment... with Pink Paislee Atlas

Good morning,Rikki here today, how are you all on this fine Thursday? Well not quite fine over here in the West, finally winter is here!!! I love winter its my favourite season however the lack of sun makes my mojo disappear, are you a bit like that also? 

So to remedy that I am continuing with my Wanderlust.... Bucket list.... Travel wish list with a layout using the stunning new Pink Paislee Atlas range (in store now), and this layout is also based on my take of this months sketch challenge, which you have plenty of time to enter....

  When you sew the vellum just tack it with a little double sided tape.

Try using the insta overlays directly on your photo.

The Atlas puffy stickers are really easy to re-position so dont worry about making a mistake.
