KAISERCRAFT JUNE CHALLENGE..- Circles..

Hello there,

 just popping in to add my layout for this months challenge over at KAISERCRAFT and it is..


CIRCLES!!!

So I went through my Kaisercraft stuff and found a template - Bubbles and a couple of dies that were circles.. Then the photo which I cut in a circle and used papers from Sage and Grace and Keepsake collection on my page...  and some closer views first..

 of course I had to do some fussy cutting of these lovely flowers..

The little circles out of the die cut mesh were also stuck onto the back ground for interest..

I used a gold stamp pad to pat on the ink using the template Bubbles to make the back ground circles.. and my circle punch to create the other circles on my page..

Capture smiles..

Such pretty papers!!  I enjoyed creating this one, I needed to sit and fussy cut, that is my stress buster I think...

Thanks for coming by, I do appreciate each visit and all the comments too..  Enjoy the rest of today!!!

My Layout from TINA OLLETT's Class.

Hello there,
Yes I am back for another blog post!! As I mentioned in my last blog post I went to the Brisbane Scrapbooking Expo and while I was there I took a class with the very talented TINA OLLETT and if you dont follow her blog, then I hope you do after you pop over and check out her creating.. I love her layers and fussy cutting and it was amazing to see her creations in real life at the show... The dimension on her layouts is incrediable and she is the loveliest person too!! So enough talking!!

This was her example layout..
A really beautiful layout.. With layers, fussy cutting and ripped papers too..  Well I didnt get anywhere near finishing my layout  so I finished mine at home and I went my own way a little bit!!!! I also changed the title to suit my photos....

some closer views..

 Lots of layers..

Some gauze to soften the edges..

You are as lovely as a rose...

It is fairly close to Tina's, just with my spin on it...  There is also another layout to create from the supplies we got. I shall try and get that one done later on...   You can see TINA'S LAYOUT HERE ... and have a scroll down Tina's blog, her creating is absolutely stunning!

Thanks for popping on by today, and thanks for those lovely comments you leave me too...  I appreciate each one!

ARCHI-SCRAPS & KRAFT+ - JUNE!!

Hello there, welcome to June!!
I hope where ever you are you remembered to change the calendar over, yep a new month!!  Probably what I think about  a new month is oh wow new challenges!! And oh I missed the ones I was going to do last month!!!!

So the new challenge for ARCHI-SCRAPS is to use something hanging or a movable part...
The inspiration for this month... I can hardly believe this is possible, and I would not like to venture onto it either!!

I chose to use a broken bracelet for my hanging bit and use it on a dress form on a card..

Best Wishes..

  I have used the bracelet bit as a necklace!! For more inspiration and to link up pop over to the blog HERE!!!

And the new challenge for KRAFT+ is one I enjoyed creating... and I  sure hope you will too!!

It is to use Kraft base and one other color...  a bit of white and black or neutral color, but lets see that one color..

and my layout...

 I choose to use pink!!! Lots of die cuts, and  a splash of pink water color on the back ground!!

Some gorgeous roses I have had for ages, and some butterfly stickers too!!

Sparkle!

Have you got a fav color you are now just bursting to use!! You can check out the designers examples and link up over at the KRAFT+ BLOG HERE!!!!

Well I think we are going to get some decent winter weather this way very soon, might be time to go and chop me a barrow load of wood!! Good weather to stay indoors and create!!

Thanks for coming by, and thank you for the lovely comments you leave me!!  Take care of yourself...
