Scrapbooking layout - Unforgettable day

Unforgetable day.  I used the sizzix cogs die to cut my cogs. I sprayed with coffee shop glimmer mist, and then used star shape brads to add a more masculine look.   I mounted the photos on to green paper and then brown bazill cardstock.  I used a craftco striped paper as the base which had both these colours in it.  I added two strisp of green paper down the right hand side page, and then mounted the cogs.  I used shades of green flowers to bring up the green colour and added metallic brads to add impact. Some leaves added more green, and then some black brads to finish the look off.  I cut a text frame using spellbinders, and then added the unforgettable text.  

Scrapbooking -

This is a page where i used a basic piece of kraft cardstock.  I used a tattered angels stencil, and modelling paste.  I added the modeling paste to the stencil, filling the holes, and then wiping away the excess.  I let it dry overnight, and then sprayed with coffee shop glimmer mist.  I was trying to replicate the brickwall that is in
the photo. From there is was a matter of mounting the photo on two pieces of cardstock, black and lime green.  I added a strip of paper and sacking ribbon.  Added some bling and then some lace.  On the right handside I added a strip of stickers, some more black ribbon.  Then I added flowers that were off Aly's Eiffle tower cupcake stand, and then added paper flowers in purple to bult them out.  I added a few other flowers, that I added wire stamens to, and also some flower soft int he middle of them.  Some leaves for texture, some small purple green tara roses, and then I added two large brads in the middle of the flowers and stuck 21 on them.     

Scrapbooking, sewing theme layout

Sonia's wedding day.
This photo was just so stunning that I had to do something extra special with it. 
I started with paper from the Lost and Found collection, and then built up from there.  I made the two cotton holders at the top of the page on the right, and also a little hard to see, but in beside the two flowers is a little tidy cotton reel.  I added two doily type cutouts from the same collection and added to the top of the photo and used rubons to put the date on. I used chalk ink to add defininition tot he edges, as they blended intot he background to much.  I also added one under the sewing machine, and flowers. 
I made a paper ribbon to the left of the photo, from the back of the doily paper, and added special lace that I had been saving for a special project.  I added a 7 gypsies tape meausre along the bottom of the photo.  The inked a collections sewing machine and added White dream words to the sewing machine.  I used old patterns to make the flowers, which i cut and adhered to a wooden circle.  

Scrapbooking black and pink

Guess who turned 21.
So for this page I used a range of pink and black paper from Echo park i think, be mine.
I kept the colours really simple, sticking with a double page spread, i used a lace punch to edge the 2nd paper in, and then inked it with pink chalk. I made my own flowers, using the spellbinders die, and also i added paper flowers. The leaves are also spellbinders. I painted a couple of Kaiser wooden flourishes in pink, and added some tule in the top right hand corner. This range has some awesome stickers so i made a tag and added a suitable sticker. I inked a cherrylynn butterfly die, and then cut it out, so it made it look like a stamped image that had been cut out.

scrapbooking - sun and sand

Sun and Sand
This is a simple page, but it has a few interesting features.  I saw this little sandcastle in a magazine, it is made from real sandpaper.  It was fun to cutout I can tell you. The word sand has been clear embossed and then while it is still hot, i added little craft beads to add texture. I then re embossed with clear embossing powder, this makes sure that the beads stay in place. 
I added a little row of flags across the top.  I had a page of flowers that i really wasn't fussed on, i sat and cut out the flowers, and added them to the side of the page, and some were under the sandcastle.  Then I added a row of circle stickers across the bottom.  They looked a little like swim rings, which the kids had just got out of on the lazy river at waterworld.

scrapbookibng - glitz pages

Andrews scream at Rainbows end, and Alex and Rick at movie world..
These are two of the pages that I did with the Glitz ladies when they came to New Zealand.  The one on the top is a great way to use left over bits and pieces and glitz corners.  The one on the bottom uses paper layers and acetate embellishments. 
Come in and have a look at them if you are in store.  

 

Scrapbooking - Rome

Okay so here is a large page i did for Castle St Angelo in Rome.  I wanted to be able to put all the photos on one page, not on several.  I saw this idea in a magazine, and worked on it using the new Bobunny timepiece collection of papers.  It has a base piece and then both top and bottom open up and down, and the sides go back.  In a scrapbook sleeve most of the layout is hidden, so only the doors on picture one are visable.  I managed to get 11 photos in this layout.   I have used all  sorts of little decorations on each page.  But I have not gone over board on decoration, as it is already very busy.  In the centre of the bottom photo I have layered a flower and used a brown glimmer mist to enhance a   tattered angels resist bird.  I used a lot of the time piece collection papers titles to add to each photo. Come in and check it out is you want a better look.
