July Scrappit Now Pack

I thought I'd share another layout I created from the July Scrappit Now Kit. I literally used up all the left overs from the kit to create this layout.

The edges of the papers and cardstock where distressed and inked in a vintage colour then machine sewn to the background cardstock.


By overlapping cut-out pieces of the flower die-cut paper I created depth with the flower. I then placed another flower in the centre

The chipboard tags were taped together and painted in a similar colour to the flower die-cut paper. When they dried I attached them to my layout and used them as a backdrop for my title.

I also wet and scrunched the lower paper then inked over the creased edges to give an aged feel.

July Club Scrapp-It Now

I thought that since I didn't do any of this months newsletter, I'd share some of the work that I did with this amazing kit!!

I haven't finished working with everything in the kit but I did begin by creating this off the page project -

The whole top of the game comes off to reveal a storage space inside for all the game pieces. Here is another photo of the top -

In addition to this game I also created two scrap pages -

And, thats it so far.

Recycled Packaging - A Gift Box

Do you ever look at the packaging on some items and think of another use for it?  I do it all the time and have things stashed away for a later use.

One of those items was this Blossom box that had some gorgeous Hibiscus Flowers in it.

I simply cut down the clear plastic on the inside and then decorated the outside with some of the gorgeous products in this month's 'ScrappIt Now' Kit!

Don't you just love Melissa Frances products - there is such a beautiful range in this month's 'ScrappIt Now' Kit - be quick though - I did here that there were only a limited number of these kits left!

Oh - and if you are interested in seeing what Penny & I have created with this month's kit and finding lots of step-by-step projects - make sure you download your copy of the 'July ScrappIt Now Newsletter'.

100 Creativity Starters

Unfortunately I missed last weeks challenge for the weekly newsletter and thought I'd share my version with you here.

Our challenge was to glitter the edges of an accent. If you look closely you can see I've added a touch of stickles to the edges of some of the flowers surrounding my photo. I'm not a huge fan of glitter, as it seems to find it's way into everything and stays around from here to my next birthday, but with the glitter glue you are able to contain where and how much glitter is added to your projects. Perhaps it's worth a try next time you think of adding that little extra sparkle to your pages.

Fun with Acrylic

Hi Ladies

Have had some fun with a sheet of acrylic, I have added both images although you know

I am not the worlds best photographer, lol. The image on the left is on my craft table which happens to be a yukky grey colour, the right image has a sheet of white Bazzill behind it. I used floral stamp for the border but didn't use the whole stamp image just the floral bits, with Jet Black Staz on ink. Flourish with a Bling Black Vine, Green Tara 7cm Blossoms - Black & White 2.5cm same. Centres of flowers - pearl brads and self adhesive pearls.

3D Greeting Card

A couple of weeks ago one of the ladies in the local social scrapbooking group I run showed us this gorgeous greeting card that I couldn't resist having a go at making myself.

I used two blank white cards to construct the card and then used up some pattern paper scraps for decorating it!

Whilst this may look like an ordinary greeting card on the outside, the inside is just a little different . . .

Here's a view from the top!

And a view from the side as well . . . cute isn't it?

I must extend a big thank-you to 'Sandy' for showing us this card . . . I can see that this is going to be one card that I enjoy making time and time again!

Until next time,

Shirley

100 Creativity Starters

Unfortunately I missed the challenge last week and really wanted to see what I could come up with.

Last weeks challenge was to 'close your eyes and reach your hand into a drawer of supplies'. Well, this is a bit hard for me when I have a whole room full of drawers but here's what I picked.

Old scrap paper, ribbon and old chipboard letters. I've had these whale watching photos since last August and promised myself to have them on a layout this year. We were in Hervey Bay for the whale season and I loved every minute of it. Highly recommend to anyone to hasn't done this before.

I'm really into this doodling on my layouts at the moment and this truly gave me another opportunity to play.

ps: Sorry about the quality of the pictures, my scanner isn't in the mood to play at the moment.
