Exploring

I'm going through my big stack of photos and have committed to scrapping them, instead of always grabbing the recent photos and hopefully I'll get through them sooner or later ☺︎. With 4 children, it might take a while!

This page is for the challenge at Stuck?! Sketches.

My page;

I've gone with a very simple background of just mist splatters. I'm enjoying creating pages with lots of white space☺︎. It was a great page to use up some scraps of my papers and some little embellishments.

Thanks for popping by and wishing you happy scrapping times☺︎.

Long Time Friends

Hello,

I am back for October with my DT page for ARTastic Challenge Blog. We would love to see more of your creative inspiration for our challenges, so please consider joining in☺︎.
This month the theme is friendships using this summery painting for inspiration,

For my page, I was inspired to use the light summery feel and scrapped a photo of my youngest with her friend who have long grown up with their friendship still strong and special to each other.

A few splatters of mist for my background, keeping it simple and then a number of cute embellishments. Some times I like to use less paper and more embellishments. I find paper doilies are a great way to fill in an empty space or to back embellishments.

I have been busy creating some more pages as I have my scrapbook mojo back and with more time on my hands than usual as all my children are away and busy these school holidays☺︎. 

I look forward to sharing some of these pages over the next few days/weeks.

Fun in the Sun

Hello and here in Australia, we welcome Spring. My favourite season, when the blossoms grow, the birds come back out of hiding to start singing again and especially nice, is the sun appearing more and more.
Today I have my DT page for ARTastic Challenge Blog to share,

This is the inspiration painting and the criteria is to include paint on your page,

For my page I went with the beach theme and the gorgeous bright colours,

I love using water colour for my background and I've used it today to create the water look behind my photo. I first paint a piece of clear acrylic and then rub it onto my page. Painting on acrylic first makes it easier to see if I like the look first before it goes down. For this page, I have also used modelling paint with a cross stencil and then misted some yellow over top.

My embellishments come from a D-lish embellishment kit, which make it so easy to put a page together.

Thank you for popping by and please head over to ARTastic and show your support☺︎

Sisters

Hello,

I'm starting this month with my DT page for ARTastic which has this painting for inspiration along with the theme of using Black and White and one other colour.

My page;

I mixed ink with gesso and then used a circle stencil to create my circle background. I also then added some stamping. Lots of elements to create the feeling of the photo being surrounded as the faces are 'surrounded' in the painting.

Thank you for popping past and I welcome you to join in the challenge at ARTastic this month. We would love to see your creations.

Off to Tafe

Hello,
Well, I'm very excited to be able to bring you a scrapbook page today because it is the first one that I have done from my new craft room!! So happy to have my own space; well I also allowed a TV in the room because I do love having my husband and children's company too😊.

So here is my page for White with One;

The colour for this month's challenge is Lavender Lane. I usually go for the white background but this colour card stock was perfect for the challenge and I wanted to do something different. I used gesso for my stencil flower and to add some 'splatters' as background. 

I stamped and fussy cut a love heart for an embellishment along with some other fun embellishments.

Thanks for popping by.

Sisters

Hello,

I am happy to bring you a page I did for the challenge at Scrap the Girls, using this challenge board;

My page;

I used the blue as my main colour and added in bronze/orange elements. I also used the lines of the challenge board to help create the layout of my page and the images for my background stamping.

The washi tape create my lines of my layout. I thought it might be challenging using this mood board but it was easier than it looked. I'm happy how this page turned out.

Thanks for popping by.

The Boys

Hello, and welcome to the second half of the year.
Winter has set in here, in the South West of Australia, a month later than normal. So time to bunker down and stay indoors a bit more ☺︎.
Today I'm sharing with you my DT page for ARTastic Challenge Blog. The criteria was to use pen with this painting as inspiration,

My Page,

I used pen for the strips in my background, I was happy how it turned out. I added watercolour using the orange from the inspiration piece. I also added in the blue with my papers. The photo lended itself, so I kept the page simple.

It was fun to use pen and it's been interesting how the ARTastic team have used it differently on  their page.
