October Cyber Crop

Welcome to our October Cyber Crop!
Most of us love a sketch and we have 3 to keep your mojo bouncing along :) 

Julie here to share my October Cyber Crop Challenge

My challenge for you is to use this sketch plus Punching.  The sketch is by me, my first. I used Photoshop Elements to create it.

This is my layout. You will find a process video here

The photos were taken last year while our family was on a cruise in the South Pacific.

I have used Simple Stories Hello Summer paper range.

Oh Happy Day

Hope you enjoy the challenge and the sketch.

Looking forward to seeing your projects

Hello everyone, Donna here with my sketch, and the 'plus' is to use something that sparkles or shines! 

A couple of ideas:

Foil - Glitter - Wink a Stella

And here is my take.... I've used  Uniquely Creative True North range, on Tim Holts Kraftcore #12.

Pow Glitter card as my sparkle element and the new Nuvo Vintage Drops and some twine.

Hope you have fun and I look forward to seeing your take up in our gallery albums!

October Challenge

Welcome to our October challenges!

This month we are all about sketches.. but as always, Mystical sketches come with an additional requirement :)  

Hi everyone,

Julie here to share my October challenge with you.

The theme for the month is Sketch plus and my challenge is to use this sketch from PageMaps and the plus is to add stitching

Here is my layout.

The photos were taken on one of my walks along the River Torrens here in Adelaide. I am very lucky to live so close to the beautiful walking track that follows both sides of the river. As you can see from the central photo I have even seen Koalas on my walk. Who would think this was in the middle of a city....

There is a process video here.

I have used Kaisercraft's Native Breeze papers for this layout.

Pink Protea

Flowering

Eucalyptus

Native Flock

Curios

Linen Cardstock – Bridal White

I used this sketch to create another layout in 2016. This one does not have any stitching but you might be able to draw some inspiration from it.

Good luck with this month's challenges, can't wait to see your projects.

Hi there.

A very quick post today to share one of my favourite background techniques.

All you need to make this is a few sprays, I used Glimmermists, and some Gladwrap (plastic wrap).

The longest part of this procedure is waiting for the sprays to dry.

The video below shows you just how easy it is to achieve these beautiful results.

Here are a couple of layouts I created in 2016 using this technique to create the backgrounds.

You can see I have used multiple colours on these background but the technique is the same.

I hope you give this a try, it is well worth it and very easy.

Till next time

Julie

"Wedding" Vintage Scrapbook layout by Louise + process video

Hi Crafters,

Louise with you today.

I'm sharing a little bit of inspiration featuring the 3 Quarter Designs - Forgotten Manuscript collection.

I'm not a huge vintage scrapper but I love the neutrality of this collection.

So I pulled out these photos from my Mother-in-laws wedding and created this layout for her.

The collection has a wonderful cut apart sheet and the only extras I added were the enamel dots and the cut file.

Cardstock "Pinecone"

White Enamel Dots

Here is the video of putting this layout together:

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

A layout for Louise's challenge

 Hi there

Today I am sharing a layout I created for Louise's challenge.

The details of the challenges are here.

The theme for September is Paints & Inks and Louise's challenge is to creates something vintage, soooo here is what I created.

You can see the video here.

All of the papers used for this layout are from the Uniquely Creative Gums & Roses range.

All of the edges have been distressed using my Prima distressing tool and Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

I have used paint through a stencil and stamping with StaZon Jet black ink for the background. 

I have used two sheets of Rose Bud Borders for the background, one of them I fussy cut the flower edges out and attached them to the full sheet using foam tape/squares

I cut strips of paper from Floral Tags & Titles and Everyday moments in varying widths and lengths and distressed the edges. These were then attached in a line across the layouts so they were staggered and overlapping.

The photo, of two of my sisters and I, was matted on black cardstock and attached to the layout with a layer of foam under it.

The title was printed on some of the patterned paper, cut out using my Sizzix Hearts die and attached using foam.

Here are a couple of closeups.

I hope you have enjoyed reading about my layout today.

Check out the video and see how easily this page came together.

Can't wait to see your entries into the September challenges.

Happy Scrapping

Design Team for 2020

Today we are welcoming a new member to our Design Team for 2020.

...but first  I  would like to thank everyone who expressed an interest in joining us, the decision was very difficult as there were so many fabulous crafters to choose from.


So now let's introduce our new team member...

Robyn Leeanne 

My name is RobynLeeanne and I have been scrapbooking on and off for many years but only got serious with it about 2yrs ago. 

I live in Mandurah WA and am married with 3 adult children and 9 grandchildren, which gives me plenty of photos to scrap.

I love to create and inspire others to create.

I love to try all sorts of crafts so don't be surprised to see something different every now and then.

I look forward to inspiring you to have a go,  whatever level you are! 

Robyn will start her term with us Jan 2020, and we are happy to have Gypsy stay on with us for another term!
