Awesome (again!)

Two "awesome" pages in a row lol.

This was taken at the same time as some of the other photos I've shared recently, it was the first time Shiloh had seen her little cuz for a long time 💓

  I used a Paige Evans cut file, and the September Hip Kit, along with a Charm Creation chevron and tab.

I was super pleased with the way this one came out!

Awesome!

The first of so many concerts that year - Billy Idol may be getting older (aren't we all???) but it was still a great night! So many people squashed into leather pants and jackets hahaha!

I wanted to have a play with my Prima watercolours, also using masking fluid. I LOOOVE the way the flowers came out!

The papers and embellies are all from Cocoa Vanilla's Wild at Heart collection, and of course I had to use a denim chevron charm!

Have a wonderful day!

Look at the Stars....

...Look how they shine for you

A beautiful photo of Shiloh before her first formal 💗

 I made this page to teach for The Paper Teapot, using lots of fun techniques, including Distress Oxides, Colourblast colour paste, Scrapiniec embossed, Carabelle stamped stars coloured with Shimmer cubes and heaps more. No one had clean hands when we were finished!!

Margarita-ville

Joanna and I found the yummiest Margaritas at a Mexican restaurant on the South Bank in Brisbane. They had every flavour under the sun, and we "tried" to sample them all, but we would have had to crawl back to the apartment after lol!

I made this DT page for The Paper Teapot monthly challenge, which was to scrap about food or drink. What a hard challenge lol. 

I used Distress Oxides on the background with Colourblast paste, and mostly Bella Blvd paper and embellies. I do love the hex cut filefrom Paper Issues, and of course I had to add a charm emoji 😍

Re Do

It's always fun to re-stage photos 😀

This was at the Railway house in Queenstown - the kids were so little when we first went there, but  the rooms had been redecorated and the exterior painted so they were great to stay in.

Shiloh was just a "bit" bigger for Mark to lift this time, and Bre had to crouch instead of stretch to see over the top - even though she's still just a shorty lol.

I just wasn't sure about this Shimelle Go Now papers, but I loved the chipboard houses, they fitted so well with the theme.The leaves were stamped with a new Carabelle studios stamp - they are VERY cool. I entered this in a weekly Hip Kit sketch challenge. I also used some of my fave Colourblast colours 💓

Hope you like it!

Sparkle Every Day

My Super cute little nephew Cohen was learning the intricacies of applying nail polish... don't think Dad was that impressed 😉

I made this page for a weekly Hip Kit sketch challenge in October, and I won! Yay! I used paper from the Pink Paislee Summer Lights collection, shimmer cubes and colourblast paste, plus ephemera from Maggie Homes Carousel collection with a turquoise star from Charm Creations.

Uniquely You

Just a quick layout that I made at a recent retreat, from a kit by Helen Munro - fellow DT member at The Paper Teapot.

 

It came together so quickly and is just lovely 💖

Thanks Helen!

You Little Ripper

Somehow or other this page got missed out 😢

My nephew Zavier plays Ripper rugby, the pre-cursor to the real thing...they all look so cute running around trying to get the ball in a big group rather than spreading out lol

This was an experimental page - using masking fluid and watercolours.

I also used Cocoa Vanilla You Rock, loads of washi tape (for the border) and Nuvo Mousse.

Have a great day!

Sparkle and Shine

Yay - some older photos scrapped 😉

This is my elder daughter with one of her good friends, who has now moved away...but whenever we see each other they still have a blast.

I made this for the October Colourblast challenge, which was to use triangles - I think this fits the bill, don't you?

As well as Colour paste, I also used shimmer cubes for the background.

The papers, ephemera and frames are all from Cocoa Vanilla's Wild at Heart collection, and the acrylic words are from Bella Blvd.

Lovely

Just a quick share today of my layout for The Paper Teapot's September challenge  - to use a handmade embellishment and scraps.

Love my little Niece and her adorable pupper 💓

I made the star using felt, tulle, chambray and a button.
