Creating


I thought I would share a layout and a card I made last weekend. The layout uses Heidi Grace Designs, Wildflower patterned paper and embellishments. I love the alphabet rub-ons.
A quick card using Cloud 9 Design, Chocolate Chalet patterned papers and glitter gel rub-ons. Look out for this stunning range this month in Lincraft. For this card I used three different sized circle squeeze punches and punched them out from different patterned papers and sanded the edges. I pop dotted some of the circles.

I hope everyone has had an awesome weekend.

Happy Birthday

A simple birthday card for my Dad's birthday (pretty sure he doesn't stop by here so I am safe to share) using Cloud 9 Design, Wild Honey, Meadow Collection Kit. I love sanding the edges of the papers to highlight the white core. I added letter stickers over the top of the epoxy squares.

On Cloud 9

My nephews third birthday is in a few days. I made Dylan this card to match the door plaque I made for him.

and loving this embossed frog papers. A while ago I made him this door plaque (featured in Scrapbook Creations top ten) using the Cloud 9 Design, Baby Boy collection of papers. The frog paper is just gorgeous. It's embossed, glittery and so cute.
I cut the two small frogs out of the patterned paper and adhered them to heavy mat board. I then re-cut them and added them to the plaque.
For the larger frog I scanned the paper and then printed it out larger onto white cardstock. I adhered it to heavy mat board and then re-cut it out. I pop dotted the centre one and added googly eyes to them all. I added a layer of Li'l Davis Glitter Glaze so that it matched the small frogs. I then covered them in a layer of dimensional magic to make them nice and shiny.
Dylan will love them.

Christmas Baubles

I have finally finished filling and decorating my glass baubles. I have used various papers including some Heidi Grace meadows patterned paper. I embossed the tops of the baubles with opals and finished them off with some pretty ribbons.

Oh So Loved, Oh So Moody

I thought I would share some cards I made yesterday using the Heidi Grace, Oh So Moody and Oh So Loved patterned, embossed and flocked papers available in Lincraft. These are so cute. I think my favourite is the flocked little bird paper. Then again I do also love the patterned paper with the trees, birds and hearts.

Wedding Tag


Thought I would share a tag I recently made for a friend from an online group. All the group memebers made a tag with a quote on it and they were given to her in an altered tin. She loved them. I used Heidi Grace paper and plastic heart along with a Cloud 9 Design quote sticker.

Cairns

A recent layout for our Port Douglas holiday album. I used Heidi Grace Chipboard alphabet stickers, Heidi Grace alphabet rub-ons and Heidi Grace border stickers.

Lots of Heidi Grace papers and Cloud 9 Design rub-ons.
I used a Fiskars 'Bling, Bling' Squeeze punch for the punchouts on the layout of my nephew Dylan in his new CARS bed.

Melbourne Zoo Album

This is an album I made for our family trip to the Melbourne Zoo earlier in the year. I used the Heidi Grace In Bloom- The Woodland range of papers. Love how this one turned out. mmmm Just need to finish the journaling.

Shopping Trolley

Love the Heidi Grace Flocked tags and punchouts. They are just so yummy. Paper is Heidi Grace In Bloom- Love Blossoms.

Concertina Album


This is a little concertina album I recently taught as a make and take at Scrapbook Retreat. The album is made from chipboard, a sheet of cardstock and the Heidi Grace In Bloom- Love Blossoms range of papers and ribbons.



Getting To Know You

I used a heap of random questions from one of the Simple Scrapbook Shortcut books and put together this layout for Leah.

I used the Heidi Grace, In Bloom- The Bouquet range of patterned papers.

Art Of Play

Heidi Grace In Bloom- The Bouquet range of papers and ribbons. Love this range. It's one of my favourites.


Good Clean Fun

Heidi Grace In Bloom- Love Blossoms papers.

Baby Love

A layout of Leah when she was little with her baby born. I used Heidi Grace, In Bloom- Love Blossoms papers and ribbons.

Fish

A simple layout using strips of Heidi Grace, In Bloom - Woodland papers.


Trafalgar Square

A photo printed from my Dad's slide collection. Another layout for my childhood album.

The background paper is Heidi Grace, In Bloom - The Meadow.

View Of London

This photo was printed from a slide of my Dad's from around early 1980's. I think it was a purchased slide and not one he had taken. Heidi Grace Meadow Collection papers for the background and the title and journaling circles.

Mini Concertina Keyring Album

Featured in the latest Scrapbook Creations, Top Ten Key rings. Yummy Cloud 9 Meadow Collection papers and embellishments.

I covered the front and back covers in dimensional magic for durability.


Abbey's Naming Day Album

Gorgeous Heidi Grace papers. I used the "Bouquet" paper range.

The cover is a premade Kaiser chipboard set (and I added a chipboard cut out square over the top) and covered them all in patterned paper. I made all the internal pages using matt board. I used the Fiskar's Craft Drill to drill through all the layers of pages.

The patterned paper sides I left as is rather than put a matt for a photo so that her Mum can add as many photos as she like rather than restricting her to one photo.




Megan's Special Book

I made this book for Megan using Dee's Cottage Collection, large alphabet and number stickers and raindots by Cloud 9 design. Dee's Cottage Collection is so bright and colourful.

I painted the cover in pale pink paint and then coated it in Lil Davis Glitter Glaze, followed by a thick covering of dimensional magic so that is would survive all the love from a two year old.

The alphabet and number stickers also have a coating of dimensional magic to give them more dimension.

Meg's loves her little book.
