A MIXTURE OF RANGES LAYOUT

Hello Bloggers

Thank you for popping by, nice to see you again! Have you been getting much scrapbooking done?

The weekly sketch is out, at Scrapbook Challenges. Why not do your take on it and upload it to our gallery so we can see what you have done?

Here is the sketch, a real treat for journal fundies :)

Sketch 333

 

 

 

I didn't do the journalling parts, not so much anyway. A small journal tags was added for the story.

 

Here is my take:

 

 

Paper used is Prima, American Craft cardstock and Daisy D's.

Chipboard pieces by Prima, My Little Bicycle and Kaisercraft.

Flowers are Prima and Petaloo.

Alphabet stickers are Pebbles, American Crafts.

Quote stickers are from Graphic 45.

 

 

All paper was distressed, this created texture and raised the photos. The middle photo is raised even more with the Prima chipboard clock.

 

I really enjoyed this sketch. Am quite happy with the way it came out, such a fun and bright page - which is what the day was. Even though i have used a lot of paper and embellishments the photos are still the main feature on the page.

 

 

Using my scraps from different lines and manufacturers, can create a well balanced layout.

 

Thank you for stopping by, and please upload your layout to our gallery, and you are welcome to leave a comment here.

 

Scrappy love

A Graphic 45 Layout

Good morning Scrappers

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend, did you manage to get some scrapbooking done?

The new sketch at Scrapbook Challenges is up. Please take part in this week's sketch, and be sure to post your layout to our gallery.

Here is the sketch 331:

And here is my take on it:

The gorgeous 'A Ladies Diary' range from Graphic 45. I used 6 sheets of paper, for lots of layering as well as the chipboard pieces from the same range.

I traced the doilies onto the paper and created printed doilies.

 



I enjoyed this sketch! Even though i have used this range before, i never grow tired of Graphic 45. I just love the vintage feel and awesome colours of the papers.

Hope to see your layout in the gallery.

Scrappy love

A ladies diary layout

Good day bloggers!!

Over at Scrapbook Challenges earlier this month i did sketch 321.

Here is the sketch:

This is my layout for the Sketch Crew:

i used the gorgeous ladies diary range from Graphic 45, paper and chipboard as well as flowers and brands from their stapels range.

I distressed the papers and used the paper as journalling tags. I didn't matt my photo, but sanded it instead.

My little girl is growing up so fast, i can't believe she is 3 and a half already. Such a sweet child, i love scrapping these pretty pictures of her!

Hope you are able to capture your precious moments to and create a beautiful album to reminise over in years to come.

Happy scrappy weekend.

Scrapbook Challenges sketch 303 - I love u beyond measure

Hello friends

I'm writing from a very cold South Africa! We are in the mist of a desperate cold spell and the rain fall has been exceptional. They have predicted 100ml of rain - and we are probably at that now! it has been raining for 2 days and some parts have even had snow, even though it is so unheard of in these parts!

Sketch 303 is due over at scrapbook challenges. Here is my take on the sketch:

I used various scraps of graphic 45 papers, from the communique range and hallo'ween, as well as alphabet stickers from the tropical travelogue. The glazed brads are Basic Grey and the small tickets from Kaisercraft. I adore flowers, can't do a layout with out them! These are a Prima branch and Petaloo Floral embellishments.

The stamps are all new - beyond measure and the ruler are from Glenda Viljoen. The Cherish stamp is Kaisercraft and the tile border (on the top right and bottom left) is from Teresa Collins. I used archival ink on all the stamps.

And this is the sketch:

Your layouts are due in this weekend, so be sure to upload them to the gallery. Here is the link to view all the wonderful creations from the other design team members.

Tomorrow we will reveal Sketch 304, so be sure to pop back again!

Have a warm, scrappy weekend.

Much love
Zoe

a moment

I love this picture of Morgan, have used it so many times! it was taken last year, 22 January 201,1 at Aunty Janice's wedding. Morgan was a flower girl and wonderful Heather Stevens was the photographer and snapped this shot of her while we were all getting dressed. it is a real candid shot and just so perfect.

I used Graphic 45 papers for this layout, yummy communique range. I absolutely love their papers and always try to show people that you can use them in so many ways. i know a lot of scrappers don't want to/don't like to or don't know how to play with and experiment with their papers. i use everyday, coloured pictures and don't always scrap with a vintage style.

Here are a few close ups:

The red flowers pick up the photo mat and i thought the flower cluster just finished off the page nicely. For the g45 staples flowers i used the tim holtz distress blending tool and added some colour to them with ink.

Stamping is great on lo, adds interest.I also stamped around the photo mat, on the shaped vanilla cardstock. I alternated between stamped clock and rubon. i used the g45 ribbons to add texture to the page. the postage stamp is fussy cut and raised with foam tape to add dimension.

the hidden tag hold journalling of the day when Morgan was a flower girl. the border detail is punched with my new Knock outs border punch - just loving them!

i really didn't like this layout when i started, just wasn't coming together the way i imagined. After adding a few textures, dimensions and flowers it started to look like something! Guess the trick is to keep at it, play around with different elements until you find the one that fits. And remember, there really are no mistakes and very few 'rules' in scrapbooking - unleash your innerself......

little mom layout

I love this picture of Morgan, its quite old now but as she is growing so fast and she is becoming a real little girl and the maternal instinct of looking after her 'babies' is growing too! its so sweet to watch and always amazes me that we don't teach our girls to do this, it just comes so naturally. Very heartwarming!!

I took a piece of white cardstock and sprayed with dazzels (by Enmarc) - Brick Red colour.

Patterned paper used - Graphic 45 (yummy!!)

Hallowe'en in Wonderland - Jabberwocky

ABC Primer - Bedtime stories
