{Charm’s Creations Guest DT} My Sweet Boy ~ A Scrapbook Page

Hey everyone and welcome to my blog this cold and wet weekend!

A quick share for you today sharing one of my makes for Charm as her guest designer for July. Which I have LOVED! And I plan on using MORE charms between now and the end of the month 😉 Perhaps even more videos too 😉

Anyways, I decided to play along with Charm’s June & July challenge of scraplifting a DT member and I chose one of Charm’s very own pages – I just love everything about her style and perhaps may have even found another page or 2 to hopefully lift 😉

But here is the page I am lifting


And here is my take on this awesome page


I have pulled another of my fave Cocoa Vanilla Studio collections, More Than Words, and used one of my all time fave papers as the background and lots of pieces from the 6×6 paper pad for all those gorgeous layers Charm has used in her page. And those very pretty doilies!

Here are a few close ups, mostly of those gorgeous Pastel Glitter Hearts, aren’t they just gorgeous?!


I decided to give my title on this gorgeous yellow star. I’ve used a piece of veneer from another CVS collection and paired that with those AWESOME tiny white foam thickers.


I’ve tucked in a couple of labels and flair behind this very pretty star. And again with the white foam thickers cause the star was looking a little lonely!


And of course, more of those tiny foam thickers – I didn’t want this one all alone either 😉 – on this gorgeous pastel green star.

I have a process video up for this page as well, just click on the link below and enjoy!!


Make sure you head on over to Charm’s FB page here and take a look in the girls albums so you can play along with scraplifting a DT member – so much inspiration in their albums!! And you can head over here to the Charm’s store to shop up a storm!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and see you again very soon

{Charms Creations GDT} Kitten Love ~ A Scrapbook Layout

Hey everyone and welcome to my blog today!

So the cat is out of the bag now and I am super excited to share that the incredible Charm from Charm’s Creations invited me to be a guest designer for the month of July and I jumped at the chance!


I do love me some of Charms gorgeous creations and I would be lying if I didn’t say that I may hoard them sometimes so when I got a nice little fat package I was super excited to not hoard!! lol


I started this page on recent retreat I was on and finished it off when I got home so no process video but a few photos!


These photos are of my big boy on our family Easter trip this year. We visited some friends on their property about 3 hours away from home and they had this adorable kitten which Jacob was totally smitten with the whole time we were away!


I decided to use a totally different colour scheme for me and ran with yellow and orange and I love it! Especially with those pops of that darker blue! I’ve used Distress Oxide Inks and the smooshing technique to create that background. 


That chevron I just love, love, love and it ties in so beautifully with my whole page! This is one of the Denim, Hessian & Tan Chevron’s that came in a mixed pack with also a star, arrow and heart.


I hope you enjoy and make sure you stop by again very soon for some more Charms love and perhaps I will even get more chance to play with some this month!


Thanks so much for stopping by and happy scrapping!!

Awesome ~ A Scrapbook Page

Hey, hey my scrappy friends!! I’m so excited to be here sharing with you again another K+ challenge! This one is as part of the team of guest designers for the sponsors!! Colour Blast is once again the sponsor so when I was given the opportunity to create with another of the K+ challenges I snapped it up!


The November challenge is “think BIG”!! 

Here is my creation and as you can see I have gone with a BIG title! 


The title was cut on my silhouette cameo and the cut file was just from the Silhouette store. I went a little crazy with the Colour Shimmer Cubes in Singin’ The Blues and Stormy Weather. I also paired that with Colour Shimmer Dust in Navy and I love the water colour-y finish I got on my white cut file!


I decided to go with a contrasting colour on my kraft cardstock and decided on yellow (Sunflower Colour Shimmer Dust) and orange (Tangerine Dream Colour Shimmer Cube) and the packaging technique and I love how the cut file pops off the page!


I’ve used more Aussie goodies with all my paper layers and few embellishments going with the “You Rock” collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studio’s.


I have a process video showing how this whole page came together if you’d like to see, just click on the play button below and enjoy!


Thanks for stopping by and I hope I have inspired you to perhaps play along this month with the great challenge over at Kraft Plus.

{K+ August Guest} My Darling Big Boy ~ A scrapbook page

Hey, hey scrappy friends! I have a relatively quick share for you today but I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my end result and am super duper excited to share!

So, of late I have been playing along with the very awesome and fun challenges over at Kraft Plus Challenges and I was lucky enough to be asked by Sandra to be their guest designer for August!! I gotta tell you, when the message came through I literally squealed!!

So, if you have yet to see this month’s challenge it is “be inspired by trees” and I will be honest and tell you that I struggled with this for a couple of weeks before my idea came to fruition! 


First I thought “christmas trees” and then I was thinking tree colours and then I was stuck again. So, google to the rescue! I simply searched “tree quotes” and found this one


Inspiration struck and off I went! I used my cameo to draw out a tree shape BIG on my background and then used my amazing Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Cubes to colour it up! 


I won’t get into too much detail but we are having a few issues with my biggest littlest man so right now we are on a very emotional ride and doing the best we can (as all Mums and Dads do!!) and this was therapy for me. And a big long letter to my biggest boy on the back of the page, just for him, from me. Here are a few close up details.


I have incorporated the advice from a tree tucked into a bag behind the photo and something I hope he takes with him throughout his life, I believe some very worthwhile lessons/advice 😉


A few florals, I mean we are talking trees and leaves and he CHOSE to have his face painted as a rainbow butterfly, some splatters, sequins and hand stitching to finish it off!

I did record my process so if you’d like to see this page come together please just click below and watch away!


Sandra and all the K+ team, I so love your challenges every single month, with this month being no exception, so a massive thank you for inviting me along to be a guest this month! It was a true pleasure and honour!

So, that’s it for me for today, I have some other projects coming up this week so until then, happy scrapping!!
