More recent layouts...

I have been busy lately creating new layouts and trying different products to what I normally use and wanted to share my most recent....

I am so pleased how this layout came out considering that it is quite a simple effect and not too fussy. Until last week I had not considered using embossing folders on scrapbook layouts yet we received the new Spellbinders M-Bossabilities folders and after seeing a layout that spellbinders used these on I thought I would give it a go!

For the cardstock squares I cut the Payper Box Pearlescent card into 5" x 5" Squares and then embossed these using the M-Bossabilities Embossing Folders. Once this was done I used the Viva Decor Inka Gold paint to add a subtle metallic sheen to the embossed areas. This paint comes in a thick creamy form and I applied this lightly with my fingers.

Echo Park Mini Album ...

Have you seen the new chipboard albums by Echo Park? They have pull out parts for you to add extra detail or photos! They come in a rectangular shape or a circular design. I created an album using the rectangular design and the Kaiser Craft 'Check In' Collection of papers and Collectable Cardstock Die Cut Shapes.

For the pull out parts I decided to use these areas for Quotes and Journaling rather than pictures as the Kaiser Craft papers had some great designs on the papers which were just the right size.

I Covered the album edges to begin with in Kaiser Craft Acrylic Paint in Black and then added all of the papers and embellishments. The pictures do not show it but all of the cardstock shapes I have adhered using 3D Foam glue pads to make the album more dimensional.

The small stickers which I have used on the tabs are by 7 Gypsies and are called 'Mini Label Sticker Sheet - Travel'.

Now I just need to find the perfect pictures!

Thank you for looking :)

Kaiser Craft 'Save the Date'

This is a layout which I scrap-lifted from the Kaiser Craft Blog (www.kaisercraft.com.au/blog)

This layout was created using the new Kaiser Craft 'Save the Date' Collection of papers and a pack of the collectable die cut cardstock shapes from the same set.

As soon as I saw this layout, I knew I had the perfect picture for it and the colours of this collection work so well for summer layouts as well as birthdays and celebrations.

You can find our 'Save the Date' selection here.

I also recently created a Christmas card using the new Wild Rose Studio Annabelle's Christmas "Posting Letters' Clear Stamp. I coloured this image in using promarkers and then used a Marianne Design Die to create the scalloped shape.

You can see the stamps here :)

September 2012 Kit Sneak Peeks...

I wanted to share today a sneak peek of our September Monthly Kits. This month the main kit features the brand new Echo Park For the Record 2 'Documented' Collection. The papers feature bright yellows, greens and blues but if you flip the papers over there are some lovely vintage designs too.

I created 2 layouts using the main kit which you can see below :)

We also have a very limited mini kit this month using the Country Boutique collection by Fancy Pants. For those who might miss out on this one due to the low number we will be having a second mini kit for September.

For this layout I wanted to try doing something different with my photos so I created a washing line effect and then used the file cards as the photo mat. Whilst this collection by Fancy Pants was only released this Summer many of the items are now discontinued so if you like this set grab it whilst you can :)
