Pink'd

I came across these old photos I had tucked away in a box that I hadn't scrapped yet and thought they would be great for The Paper Teapot Black+White+one challenge.

Guides were having a pink night and Bre went all out for it. So cool in the neon pink wig! And the pink Miley Cyrus t-shirt was her absolute favourite - until it wasn't lol. 

One of my friends made the cute little crocheted heart for me - doesn't it rock? The +one had to be pink of course with these photos! 

I used texture paste in a diagonal direction and then used a mica spray and Dylusions spray to bring in the pink. The paper was all Kaisercraft, and I lurrrve these Thickers! 

Everything else were bits and pieces from my stash.

Thanks for looking!

Baby got Blue Eyes

This is my gorgeous little niece when she came to visit us recently - totally cracked us up with some of her comments!

 

I wanted to have a play around with the beautiful Blue Fern papers and embossing powders,using different techniques with the powders. I didn't come to scrapbooking from card making so I hadn't really had much of a play with them before, and discovered what an easy and effective way to colour things and add a bit of "pop".

I had you-tubed ways to use them - this is the link here . I tried them all out but didn't use all of them on this page - gotta save some fun for later!

1. Stamped with Versamark Ink then embossed
2. Applied Versamark to chipboard then embossed with one or more colours
3. Embossed over double sided tape
4. Mixed embossing powder with Prima Soft Gloss Gel and applied through a stencil (I think I would use 3D gel another time) and
5.  Embossed over hot glue - this one is super cool!

I hope you have as much fun as I did trying things out - but will you get in as much mess as I did is the real question! :))

The Best Days

This one is Shiloh with her buddy from school Fran. She came away on holiday with us to Nelson last year, and they both had so much fun, more time was spent on the water than on land I think!

This page uses all papers from Cocoa Vanilla's collection "Hello Sunshine", available from The Paper Teapot here, - and I love all the cute wee "woodies" that are included this time round! I also used a cut file from The Cut Shoppe, and a stencil and light paste from Prima (also available here from Joanna at The Paper Teapot).
