Moments to Treasure

Hello,

I had lots of fun creating a page for the Let's Get Sketchy challenge with this sketch,

 My background was created with modelling paste, mist and watercolour, along with background stamping. I drew in my circle elements. My photos I backed with different papers and tags. 

I couldn't resist adding some crochet flowers to match my daughter's crocheted headband. I love using my other crafts to embellish my pages and in this way show my children a bit of me through out their albums.

I'm enjoying the start of this year, enjoying the kid's holidays and some relaxing time together at home. I hope your start to 2016 is enjoyable as well.

Till next time, happy crafting.

Little Miss

Hello,

I've been enjoying a week of relaxation with the kids. It's been very hot and so it has been a lot of time spent indoors; so time for scrapbooking☺︎.
I've done this page for Scrap The Girls, which is a free page this month. There is this sketch provided for anyone that would like some guidance.

I have roughly used the sketch for my page,

 Lots of misting, texture paint and background stamping for my background using the colours of my daughter's dress. I have made paper clouds to add for my embellishments along with a fabric button and flowers.

Close up of some of the elements of my page.

Thank you for popping by.

Life Experiences

Hello and welcome to 2016. I'm happy to be back on the team for ARTastic this year and I'm looking forward to providing some inspiration for our challenges☺︎.
So to start off we have a beach painting for inspiration because in Australia, Summer means beach days for many people.

For your page we would love to see what Summer means to you.

Living in a small coastal town in Western Australia, we spend a lot of time at the beach. We have swimming beaches a walk up the road and surf beaches and coastal rocks to explore just a 20min drive away.

The page I created is made using a photo of my girls busy rock climbing and loving the outdoors.

I watercolored my background and used texture paint to create my triangles. I then traced with the same triangle stencil. 

 A little flower cluster and some fibres to embellish my page.

This cluster I created using doilies, wooden button, clothing tag and a tag made by stamping on a shipping tag.

I look forward to another year of scrapbooking myself and being inspired by other scrapbookers this year☺︎.
