I Love you Funny Face

Hi my Lovelies
 
I am back with one of the Layouts I completed at the Bella Paperie Retreat.
I had started this page at home but was lacking inspiration but there is always plenty of it around when you are in a room full of creative women.  These are Lilybee papers I had in my stash for quite awhile now but the colours were perfect for the selfies of my daughter and myself.
 
 
I combined these fake Polaroids with negative punch outs from cardstock, I also inked through two different masks to create some texture in the background.  I had only that week picked up some sequins from D-Lish Scraps and I glued these on with my glue pen.
 

The washi, Star and wooden buttons and the camera charm are from D-Lish as well.

MME - Sweetest Thing

Cute

Have I ever told you guys how much I love Instagram, well I took this photo of my youngest daughter while waiting for my mother at an ultrasound appointment, she was looking pretty adorable.
 
Debra from Bella Paperie asked if I wanted to use some of the yummy papers from My Minds Eye, I chose the range 'Sweetest Thing with the Tangerine colours.
 


The background paper is Divine, love woodgrain!!!! I backed it with some yellow Bazzill to break it up and created long pennants out of the patterned papers.  This is another page which came together easily for me using the elements within the range except the chipboard heart is from Collections and the washi tape is from D-Lish Scraps.



Hope you like this page and thanks for looking

Cakewalk for Bella Paperie

Moments in Time

This Layout was created using the new "Cakewalk" range from October Afternoon. Funnily I have used a Christmas 2011 photo of the girls with this paper which is really a party range, but I think it works perfectly.



This was a quick and easy page to create for Bella Paperie. The background paper had all of this faux stitching with a star in the top right hand corner, which I cut out carefully as I wanted to use this again in the embellie clusters. I used stars from the flower stacks as well as bits from the Doo-dads, to finish off this page. The chipboard was inked in Pinecone and was from Imaginarium Designs.




Here is a shot of the layering of the stars on the side of the photo.

Grade Two

Grade Two



I created this layout using "Note to Self" paper range by Echo Park, another sample that I created for Bella Paperie. This paper, covered in numbers, was perfect for scrapping Daphne's school photos. Can I tell you how much I love this range, so many little elements on the paper that you can cut out and use, just YUM!!!



A little close up of the embossed Jenny Bowlin Coordinations paper that I sanded, I also added D-Lish Scraps washi, journal tag and crocheted flower.  The Martha Stewart Doiley was altered with Antique Linen Distress Stain and finally the title alphas are Jillibean corrugated alphas.

Prairie Hill Sample

Bright Sunshiny Day

Debra from Bella Paperie asked me to create a sample page with papers from Pink Pailee's 'Prairie Hill' the colours in this paper really suited some older photo's I had from the eighties. The particular photo I ended up using is the only photo I have of my family together prior to my parents getting divorced.
 


I created a faux notepaper out of one of the sheets as well as created a handmade bottlecap embellishment, I used distress embossing powder on the bottlecap to change the tone, here is a link to the tutorial on how I do this. I wanted to keep the focus of this page on the photo as I then made a pin wheel and added a few embellies to keep it simple.



The wooden buttons and washi tape used on this page was purchased from D-Lish Scraps

Fab 'U' lous

Hi All

Here is a sample I created for my local Scrapbooking store Bella Paperie, I used some yummy papers from Simple Stories


and I then embellished the page with some flowers, buttons and charms from D-Lish Scraps, here is a close up of the embellie clusters.


That bunny cameo was perfect for this layout as my daughter is wearing her Easter bonnet.


I am in love with machine sewing on my layouts at the moment.


and I still love my string and doilies as well ;)

Hope you like
