Some Bella Blvd - Alex for Anna's

Hi everybody!

So for my first DT pack from Anna's Craft Cupboard

I got the awesome Bella Blvd Alex Collection to play with.

When I saw these papers I had to laugh because I knew I had the

 perfect photos to scrap with.

Alex is a bright and fun collection and I enjoyed working with it.

I made 2 layouts and 2 cards and still have leftovers to make more!

Up first is SO RAD

Not only are the papers in this range awesome but so are all the embellishments available.

I love the Tabbies and the Washi Stickers. You're not stuck with a whole roll and they coordinate perfectly.

 

I have also used a couple of the Kaiser Flourish Words, that I have inked. These come in wooden box with a mix of words, I think they are gorgeous! You'll be seeing alot of these lol

 The other thing you'll be seeing alot of are these Artquest Mini Prills, 

these are Baby It's Cold Ouside, but there are so many colours available.....

I've already started a collection :)

My next layout is YUM, which I have done a step by step for over on the Anna's blog.

 You can see what I mean about the range fitting these photos perfectly! 

I had only just gotten these printed about a week before I received this range.

I have used some of the awesome Paper pieces and more of the washi stickers,

tabbies and Fundamental stickers.

 

I would love for you to have a play along with the step by step and share it over in our 

 Facebook Community

 I also made these 2 cards, so you can see how versatile and fun this collection is.

A birthday card for your little gamer!

And a congratulations card.

 

I really enjoyed working with this collection and 

I'm determined to get more out of what I have left. 

Also don't forget we have our colour challenge happening for your 

chance to win $50 voucher with free postage.

Also there was an announcement made over on the blog,

head over there to see who has joined the Anna's team.

Thanks for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you a little today!

Prima BAP - Love You

Good morning all!

Today I have a layout to share that I have completed for this

months BAP (Build a Page) with Prima

This month's sketch was just a bit gorgeous!!!

(Obviously this is just for fun and a bit of inspiration, as I know I have NO chance of winning LOL! 

I'm up against scrappers that are on Design Teams, for every major manufacturer in the world!)

But I had lots of fun playing!

There was something about those stripes....... 

and the arrival of my order of Prima's Rossibelle Collection from 

Anna's Craft Cupboard :)

 I flipped the sketch and this is what I came up with

Now if there is one thing I LOVE about Prima (not their flowers, that's a given ;) 

It's just how darn PRETTY everything is! Not just the products but the packaging and everything!

I am sooooo loving how they are printing on those little strips you cut off the bottom of the page!

Now I can use every millimetre of my Prima!!

That's what I have done for this layout. I've used those strips plus extra strips cut from the Rossibelle papers for my stripes.

There is lots and lots of Prima on this page, some old mixed with the new.

I've even used the packaging from some old flowers, can you spot it here?

I am loving the rose gold and gold accents lately, which is a bit new for me. 

Lot of close ups! 

Layer upon layer

(I always say that in my head in an accent, like, I think it was the old Vientta ad??)

Lots of distressing and splattering.

Ahhhhh Prima! 

Even my cat prefers to eat their flowers over any other brand :(

(don't worry I have them locked away now)

Anyway that's all there is from me today.

I hope you enjoyed your visit, 

please let me know you dropped in 

so that I know who to visit and say HI to.

Lots of Love

Not missing! Just busy :)

Hi all,

I'm still about, have just been super busy!

Lots in the works, after a number of requests for process videos, 

I have gotten my awesome hubby to help me build an overhead camera mount,

so videos will be coming soon ;)

In the meantime, I've been having some fun playing

and I have come up with this

This layout was heaps of fun to do! I can only manage small doses at my desk these days so it ends up taking me awhile to put one like this together.

 Lots of texture, layers and colours on this layout. I used mainly Bo Bunny Penny Emporium papers, but also bits and bobs from my stash :) 

Love my flowers... some Prima, Green Tara & D-Lish Scraps flowers.

Some close ups, beads and watch innards :)

I picked up these awesome hollyhock/larkspur like flowers and I LOVE them, I think I need more.....in every colour!

Another close up!

And while I was there I thought I would make a tag with some of the packaging and off cuts from my layout. Also some yummy prima!

Close ups for the addicts :) Love these Scrapmatts words!

I don't usually scrap with purple for some reason, not consciously, but I noticed I had alot of purple flowers, so was determined to use some of them. 

So a little outside my little box :) 

Hope you like what I have come up with. 

Thanks for stopping by and I will be back soon!

Back again!

Hi all.

I am back again to share a layout I have created.

I was gifted a whole HEAP of scrapping goodies from the very

 talented and generous Cathy Cafun,

when she heard that I had returned to scrapping 

and was tragically outdated on supplies.

She's an enabler lol but I love her lots!!

So anyways here is what I have created

One thing I have no lack of is flowers lol, 

I had to sort and file them on the weekend, as I had them everywhere.

I have layered this Prima flower on top of  layers of flowers that I have die cut. I bit more oomph, not that Prima really needs it :)

Lots of layers of yumminess.

 

 And another close up :)

I had loads of fun with this layout. Got my girly out!

Thanks for stopping by and leaving some of your love.

Lisa xoxo

October Already!!

Wow! September went so quickly!

I've been pretty busy so far this month, quite a few appointments,

but still finding some scrappy time :)

So the start of the month means the start of a new batch of challenges.

This layout is for the challenge over @ Anna's Craft Cupboard.

The very talented Kylie Cornish has designed this sketch for us to play with 

So this is my take on the sketch

My boy loves his cars! He had to have a taken with every car lol

Graeme took him to a car show and oh my did it take awhile!

Some close ups! I embossed my chippy in pewter, YUM!

Anyway I hope you like it!

Why not have a play with the sketch?

 You have until the end of the month to upload your entry to either

 the gallery or to the facebook page!

For a chance to win $50 to spend in store!

Thanks for stopping by

Lisa xoxo

Autumn Beauty

Hi everybody!

Hope you are all well?

Today I am here to share a layout I have done for this month's challenge

over at The Creative Studio, which is the blog 

for Canvas Corp Brands. You know who they are! They are the 

home of 7 Gypsies and Tattered Angels.
I am a huge fan of everything they make. Great quality products!

Anybody that knows me, knows that I am obsessed with Tattered Angels glimmermists, paints, sprays, anything I can get messy with :)

So for this months challenge is an Autumn/Fall Mood board

For my layout I have gone really old school with my papers.
Some of you may remember them (please don't judge how I hoard paper lol)
7 Gypsies Avignon Collection, well what I had left after all these years ;)

For the background, I have used texture paste & Tattered Angels Glimmermist in
Pumpkin Spice (limited edition)
Gold
Olive Vine

For the corner scroll & title letters I have used chipboard coated in gesso,
then sprayed with Gold & Pumpkin Spice Glimmermists.

For the name plate chipboard I have coated it in a copper finish, which turned out a bit darker than planned, and finished it off with a spray of gold glimmermist.

Some more close ups of gorgeous bits and pieces.

Lots of texture and misting, stamping etc.

And the full layout

So I hope you like this layout and of course if you have any questions etc
please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thanks for stopping by

Lisa xoxo
