Moment...

Well I have to admit I just couldn't get a photo that does this one justice...in this (rare) case IMHO the IRL LO is just so much better than the photo depicts...



Here's a couple of photos showing LO started life as a piece of plain 12x12 chipboard, and before it was finished. 
 

The whole technique was recommended by the talented Sandrine Dawes who is on the DT over at Scrapping Outback. 

Along with the other DT's Sandrine shared her BRILLIANT tute for the


 
Wow! What a fabulous blog hop and STILL some amazing DT artists over at my 'home away from home' at SO...I had fun anyways - hopping round the SO DT blogs :)

 
In addition to Sandrine's tute I've also ‘lifted’ a few hints and inspiration  from her May 2013 DT kit.

 

This now has to be one of my favourite LO's!  I so love all these multi media tools and techniques. 


Supplies used:

 7 dots studio pps; Manor House Creations & Prima flowers; Imaginarium Designs (oval frame) and Twiddleybitz (title); my2angels twine, present charming chain; banner charmsglass cabochons; shabby love charming embellishment; Kaiser rub-on & white paint, , Prima butterfly, Stampendous aged embossing enamel; foam tape; Helmar adhesives; handmade embellishments from Shazz’s swap; Tim Holtz distress ink (Victorian velvet) & distress paint (picket fence); Croco crackling colour (blackberry); Tattered Angels’ glimmer mists (pearl, heirloom gold, coffee shop & Pashmina); Dylusions ink spray (crushed grape & diet cola); Memories mists (plum sake); Adirondack paint dabber (purple twilight);  miscellaneous stash (12x12 chipboard; stencil, ribbon &lace); beautiful photo credit to  Robin Webster

celebrate SPECIAL memories together


Greetings to all :)

At a recent retreat weekend, I decided to take up Tracey's challenge over at A2Z Scraplets this month:
  • At least 2 Winter pictures on your page
  • Texture paste
  • A hint of red
  • And some recycled aluminium
 
The photos are of DLH and myself last winter :) The chipboard naturally is A2Z Scraplets 'cut up'.
 the white 'splashes' are Plaid Magic Texture paste. I cut up a coke can to make the banner then used my Versa mark pen and Stampendous Aged Embossing Enamel (Scarlett) to create the title.  Pretty sure that covers the criteria...how say ye??
 
Hey tomorrow's Friday and THAT is the day the BLOG HOP starts over at Scrapping Outback so be sure to take a look...
I've already seen some of the awesome prizes well worth the HOP !!!

little miss


Greetings from the land of the living LOL  I've been working, working, sleeping and hard of hearing of late, so sorry have been MIA.  Just a quick post today, as I don't think a tiny photo on the Scrapbooking  Top 50 Australia website does the LO of my DGD  justice.


It's Scraplift Madness over there this month and I've finally got the LO (left) by the talented, gorgeous Chloe Nielson 'lifted'  LOL.



Anyway, here's my take:

 I just adore the LO design and  I've used The Crafter's Workshop Chevron stencil that I also love.  The photo was taken by my DS at a huge fun theme park in NZ, called  "Rainbow's end". We all had a wonderful time, so I've tried to portray in my 'rainbow' themed  LO.

I've used glimmer mists for the background and I took the Little Yellow Bicycle (pretty in plaid) paper from a recent DT kit over at Scrapping Outback, added a few homemade flowers from A little somethin' and TLC crafts, along with a felt chevron from Rainbow Splendour.

The colourful ( hidden above the flowers) rainbow was made by the creative talented Sam I Am over at EYE CANDY MAGIC.... I'm really happy with the 'fun' result and naturally the memory of my DGD being rather silly and extremely happy :) on that day LOL.

Here's to a great long weekend, TFL all, hugs 'n' hearts xxx Mazz xxx

Quote of the Day

butterfly kisses

My fairy

Your fairy is called Columbine Goblinglitter
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.
She is only seen in the light of a shooting star.
She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.
