Scrapping my stash!

My entry for the Scrap Our Stash challenge which was to use Kraft and at least three metal embellishments.  I'm also entering it into Kristi B's challenge to use masking or stencilling.

 

I've used Twiddleybitz Chicken Wire stencil, Fern Leaves, and Itty Bitty Alphabet.

Smile!

My entry for the "Keeping-the-best" challenge this month!  I loved their sketch so stuck pretty closely to the original design.  They have some amazing examples and entries on their blog , so make sure you have a look at all the eye-candy!

I've used chipboard and stencil by Twiddleybitz.

Twiddleybitz and 7 Dots Studio

 This is one of my favorite layouts, using 7 Dots Studio paper and Twiddleybitz chipboard and stencils.  I made the heart embellishment myself.

I hid my journalling, which tell of how proud I am of my daughter's achievements in her last year of Primary school.  This allowed my extra room to write, without taking away from the design of the layout.

Thanks for looking, I'd love you to leave me a comment to say hello!

"Black with two" challenge entry

Wow....my second blog post for the day!   I'm enjoying doing these challenges as I'm getting my layouts completed relatively quickly.  I'm normally one of those scrappers who has a project sitting on the desk all week, moving stuff around till I ,get everything where I want it ... and then I have to stick it all down!
Anyways...here's my entry for the Black With Two challenge for Feb.   The challenge for this month is... DOMINANT BLACK WITH BLUE AND YELLOW +5% WHITE .

And here's my layout....

 I'd  been wanting to scrap these candid pics taken at Christmas for a few years!

 Of course I had to use some Twiddleybitz chippy and stencils on it.  Just for fun, I doodled some spots on the letters with my new "Picket Fence" distress marker.

Thanks for looking,

Twiddleybitz and "White With One"

 I used Twiddleybitz Chicken-wire stencil to create my background layer.  The numbers are from Twiddleybitz "Itty Bitty" alphabet.

 I made the heart embellishment myself (thanks to the very talented Sharon Pick), and then adhered it with Impasto, before spraying everything with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starburst sprays and Dylusions.

I used the Twiddleybitz "Hanging Lantern Plate" to frame my journalling.  I first covered it in "True Snow", then spritzed it with some mists.
Thanks for visiting!
Happy scrapping,
Tina

Altered blossums and overlays

My latest creation using Twiddleybitz chipboard.  I used one of the Inscribed Keys, a couple of Fairy Blossums, and  a Diamond Single Photo Overlay.  I'm entering it in the Southern Girls Challenge for February, which is to use "bling".   I've used gold Stickles, and shimmery Lindy's Stamp Gang mists on my chipboard flowers, lots of pearls, rhinestones on the flower and title, and there's gold specks in the embossing powder.

 A Prima flower and chipboard Fairy Blossum.

 I love how the Fairy Blossums turned out when I altered them.

Thanks for stopping by.
Happy scrapping,

Stuck Sketches entry

Here's my layout using Twiddleybitz chipboard and Chicken wire stencil on this layout for the Feb 1st Stuck Sketches challenge.

I'm back! (even though I didn't go away)

Hi there everyone,

It's been too hot to scrap in Brisbane the past few weeks.  And the fact my day job is outside detailing cars, doesn't help much either.  One day last week the car was reading 51 C from the carpark where I was working.  Yuck!  It was like working in an oven.  We had a little bit of rain today which has cooled things down slightly, so hopefully I can create something tonight.

I thought I'd share some of my latest creations, most of these were done on Scrap Camp which was AWESOME!  These layouts are all using Twiddleybitz chipboard, and will be available as classes over the next few months at Greenbank Scrapbook Shop.

 The background for this layout started as a piece of boring brown paper (the type you look at and say "I'm never going to use that!")

 I had to scrap this pic of my gorgeous cousin Diane, and the Cashmere Dame collection from Glitz Design was perfect, teamed with some Twiddleybitz.

 Shock.....another layout with me in it!  (photo taken by Madonna Scott)  I've decided this year I need to get some of my stories down on paper.  The "Memories" tag pulls out to reveal hidden journalling.

Thanks for looking.
Tina :)

Scrap the boys challenge

This was a challenge as I only have girls, and my hubby hates his photo being taken, so I had to pinch this gorgeous pic of my cousin's son.  The challenge was to scrap a Christmas photo with non-traditional colours.  I chose white and brown with a touch of green.

 The chipboard frame, bauble, and Christmas tree are all by Twiddleybitz. I covered the frame and bauble with metal foil tape, and the Christmas tree was painted with Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst sprays.

 The Anna Griffin paisley patterned paper was totally transformed with paint, mists, paper scraps, and washi tape.
