I'm on the Scrap the Girls Design Team!!! plus February Challenge

Good morning everyone!

I'm so happy to share I'm staying on the Scrap the Girls Design Team for another term!!
Yippee!!

I really love their challenges each month so I'm happy to be continuing.
A new design team has been announced and it is pretty damn cool!!  Working with this lot is going to be fabulous, so inspiring.

You can find the announcement of the team HERE.

So onto our first challenge.

This month the challenge is:

 and here's my take on it:

I really enjoyed creating this layout as I'm usually a one or two photo girl.  It's quite rare that I scrap with more than 3.  When I saw this my first thought was 'Uh Oh', but when I sat down to do it, it came together really quickly!!

Here's some close ups of my layout.

I used some 2Crafty Chipboard and goodies from Kit the Habit.

This month I am proud to announce that my very own Kit the Habit is the sponsor!!

Kit the Habit is the collaboration of myself and Emma Zappone aka Emzascrapper.
We have a facebook group from where we offer random inspiration, fun stuff and occasional exclusive kits totally designed and made by us!! 
Anyone who's creative or who would like to be can join so put in a join request and we will see you on the other side! LOL!

I've used quite a few bits and pieces from Kit the Habit including a flair, buttons, die cuts and some of our Little Bit of Randoms. So fun to include these on my page.

To win yourself a prize pack from Kit the Habit with lots of randomness and quirkiness just have a go at this month's challenge and link it to the Scrap the Girls Blog by the end of the month!

I can't wait to see what you come up with.

Study Study Study......

Hi everyone, well it's the end of the week already, which means it's my turn to share my latest scrappy creation for All About Scrapbooks.

 

This week I had a play with the new gorgeous Bella Boulevard Addison ranges. 

I also added a splash or two of Jillibean Soup Chit Chat Chowder.

I adore these new ranges - so bright and colourful, perfect for my teenage children!

 

 

Because of the bright colours, I chose to go with a white background.

I added a few splashes of watercolour, and then began layering up my papers.

 

I always add black when using bright colours -  I think it 'grounds' everything, and also I think it makes the bright colours seem a bit more 'teenagery' (is that a word?! Lol)

 

I added a few strips down one side - I love that they have a paper designed for this.

I also cut and tore into a few papers to use as layers around my photo.

 

I added some 2Crafty triangles, covering some in the bright scraps on my desk,

and also using the negative of the chipboard to trace some triangle shapes directly onto my background paper using a black pen.

 

I like the 'fun feel' this gives the layout, and I think it works well with the story of the layout

 - it's all about how my 15 year old daughter - gorgeous creature that she is - studies.

It's something I always want to remember about her.

 

 

I then added some lettering for my title, and included some cute embellishments and stickers as well as the most important part - the journaling!!

 

Well that's it from me this week.

I'll see you all again next week.

 

She has superpowers....

Good morning everyone!
Today I'm sharing a page created for All About Scrapbooks.
 

Can you believe it's already Friday?

And can you believe it's the middle of November?! Eeeek!

 

This week I've been playing with a stack of Bella Boulevard.

A bit of Addison and a bit of Illustrated Faith.

 

All the bright colours make me so happy!

I love how they co-ordinate so well.  I love mixing them up a little!!

 

 I began this page by selecting the background page.

This one jumped out at me as it's my teenage daughter's favourite colour, plus this page already had flicks of paint on it - and in my 'go-to' paint flicking colour, black - PERFECT!

 

 

I then added a couple of strips of paper and a few matts around the photo.

I selected word papers for the matts - those of you who know my work know I LOVE words, and this page involved a story about words, and how they are my daughter's superpower.  So the word paper totally goes with the theme.

 

I then added a few embellishments in co-ordinating colours,

my title and journaling and ta-da I was done!!

Didn't even finish it off with a few flicks of paint - they were already there!!
