Let's Get Shabby

The new challenge is up at Let's Get Shabby and the challenge is to use wings and a special verse. My daughter has a very special friend. They dance together and for duos and trios with my son. They do not go to the same school but have found a special friendship which as lead to both families being close. They are there for each other in good times and sad, and this picture of the two of them just shows how happy they are to be friends. The pair of them are angels, even if the devil sometimes raises his ugly head. There are quite a few elements in the lo, but the Prima butterflies are to die for. I also used some acrylic butterflies and adhered them with clear stickles, which I also used to highlight the vine and the edge of the 3D butterfly. I have used some felt flowers and a swirl of pearls to finish it off. I just love the lace border around both the photo and the matting; really makes it girly!

Premiere Sketch

This month's sketch from http://www.scrapbookingpremiere.com.au/ is a beauty. Heaps of opportunity for embellishment. These prima stars were just what the doctor ordered.

Premiere Kit

I have had this lo on my desk half finished for over a fortnight and finally got to finish it this morning before heading off to athletics etc. This is a Kristy Cook kit but I have added a couple of extra things from my stash to personalise it.

Have a great weekend!

A Shabby Birthday

The challenge, to help celebrate their 1st birthday, from Let's Get Shabby, is a layout depicting birthdays and evidence of stamping. I must say I discovered some stamps that I had forgotten I had, and put them to good use on this layout. I love Kraft cardstock and found the Dotted Girl paper great to match colours of inks etc for stamping. The little cup cakes are all embossed with clear embossing powder to help them standout on the page. I thought I was finished the lo and was certain it needed something, but what? The light bulb came on when I saw a packet of party poppers in the drawer. You guessed it, I popped a couple and used their contents on my page as an embellishment. Now it really is a party page!!!!

A Premiere Kit

Bought this kit yesterday from Scrapbooking Premiere. Changed it a little to suit the photograph of Barry and Jan, parents of the bride from my previous post. I had fun doing this as you can just follow the instructions; get a result without too much brain strain.

Kraft it Up Challenge

Always wanting to use more photos on your page? Kraft it up's challenge is to use 4 to 6 photos on a layout. Having just attended a very special friend's wedding, I used this challenge to scrap some of my photos.

I decided to use a heart as the first base, and forgive me Christie, but I cut you in half, to allow the heart to open and reveal some passport size photos of the parents and the bridesmaids in side. I love the ruffle ribbon and it hides the edge of the heart well. Used a lot of ink and a couple of stamps to embellish the inside of the lay out. Had fun doing this one, thanks for the challenge http://www.kraftitup.blogspot.com/
