Mind the Gap!

This photo was taken on Breanna's sixth birthday - just love the missing teeth grin! :))

This page came together really quickly with Cocoa Vanilla's Free Spirit range (available from The Paper Teapot here)- so many gorgeous bits and pieces to work with. I added some WOW chipboard, a Doodlebug doily, some Typo wood veneers and washi, and a Heidi Swapp word.

I still felt it needed something else so I swished on some Bo Bunny Glitter paste and outlined the circles with Kindyglitz.

Leave me a comment if you :X it!

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).

Remember to comment if you like it, and feel free to share as well :)

Trick or Treat!

This photo was of Shiloh and her friends Shanae, Shannon and Georgia before they went out Trick or Treating by themselves for the first time. Great makeup and facial expressions girls !

I made the background with watercolour paints, light gloss gel, and plenty of stamping (Kaisercraft), plus cotton to make the web effect. The title is a Silhouette cut file, and the bats, pumpkins and washi are all from Papervine.

Hello SunShine

Another page in mainly using the Hello Sunshine collection from Cocoa Vanilla - it's just so great for these sort of days!

This was just a hot summer day with nothing better to do - so I took the Shiloh and her friend Shanae out to the lake at Pegasus for a dip.

As well as the Cocoa Vanilla papers, flowers, puffy stickers, diecuts, wood veneers, and flair which are available at The Paper Teapot here, I also used a Heidi Swapp stamp, Doodlebug doily, Freckled Fawn arrow and an Amy Tan enamel heart. The hashtag and heart diecuts are from Kaisercraft.

As it I write this it's piddling down outside - just the right sort of weather to scrap sunny days!

Hope you like it - please share and comment if you do :)

Geek Girl

This kid cracks me up!

And she was even happy for me to take the photos....

Nothing else to be said really lol

The paper I used in this one is Amy Tangerine from American Crafts,the arrows are by Freckled Fawn, the washi is from Typo, the letters are Thickers and Doodlebug, and the wood veneer is from Papervine. I also used a Kaisercraft stencil and Tim Holtz ink.

Steampunk HQ

While we were away down south in the middle of 2015, we stopped for a look at the Steampunk Museum in Oamaru. I'd heard such good things, and they were all true! Jenna came down with us, it was great to have her there too, she and Shiloh may not see each other for ages but they facetime each other most weekends still and can't wait to each other when they can.

This page was made using Kaisercraft's Time Machine collection - it suited the theme perfectly!

I also used some Kaisercraft texture stamps with paint, Prima wood veneers, flair and Mica flakes. The little frame has been in my stash for so may years I've no idea where it came from!

Let me know what you think - leave a comment and share it if you like it :)

My Girls

This photo make me laugh - it's from a photo shoot before one of Breanna's birthdays...the classic "Yes we'll hug each other for the photo, but we can't get too close!"

 

This is Simple Stories So Fancy, most of the decoration is already in the paper which makes it so easy! I also used the matching Washi Tape and stickers.

 

Apart from that, I also used Prima Spray and flowers; Maggie Holmes bow and chipboard; WOW and Imaginarium chipboard; Creativ doilies and Cocoa Vanilla sequins.

 

Have a look at The Paper Teapot for the full Simple Stories range!
