BFF scrapbooking

This was one of those pages that just fell into place, and that was exciting when I am just so new to this scrapping thing. The silver BFF and the star are from this silver roll of 'stuff'  that came from Bunnings. I'm not really into hardware stuff, just go there to visit my friend, Hi Coral, lol. Anyways it's this real cool stuff that goes thru the big shot really easy and is adhesive, so ya just cut, peel and stick.

Sand Angels

Another of my scrapbook pages. This time this was my daughter last summer - remember the one where we had lots and lots of sun, 2011, she was making sand angels, just like the ones you make in the snow.!! This page I kept very simple. I had a big open space in the top left corner until I first got my Big shot die with all the trims on it, I was putting those squiggly little lines on everything, but it did need something up there I just didn't no what at the time. The shell stamps across the bottom come from "the other" stamp place.

Punchart Trucks

Isn't this the coolest  punch art. This page has been completely CASE ed from Here  . I loved everything about it and as soon as a saw it, I just new exactly which photos I would use. I don't have the stamp set Erica used for the cute trucks so  I went hunting for some punch art.  I had these saved on my computer for a long time but I had no names or anything with it so don't no who to give credit to for these great designs. I also had just the completed pictures so had to make them up as I went along.

Kids Birthday invitations

 

  This is the invitation I made for Ryan's 8th birthday.    I love  Red and Pacific Point together. The party was in December so the kids were swimming !! It was a small-ish party so I only had 8 invites to make.

Name Cards

This is the birthday card I made for my 2nd son back in December. It was an idea I found in blog land and thought it would be perfect because he has a short name. I had to use a retired wheel because I needed some thing with a very close together pattern. I cut out all the letters with my Bigshot then just laid them in place, 1st attempt I stuck them down but then couldn't get them off. Just sitting them on the paper worked fine. I also held the letters in place one by one as I sponged around them just to make them pop even more. The balloons were just made from punches for something extra.

A few weeks after my sons b-day his friend 'Cole' had his birthday so I made another similar card using green and purple, it looked very cool unfortunately I forgot to photograph it.

Sepia Scrapbooking

I was playing around with my camera one day and found this sepia setting that i didn't no was there. So when I got home i had a go at scrapbooking them in the same colours. For along time this was my most favourite page..... until I did some more scrapbooking.

Cricket punchart scrapbooking

This is more of my scrapbooking pages, my oldest son played cricket at school. I don't own any sport stamps so made some cricket wickets with punchart on my page. I love how it turned out. So far the cricket ball is just plain and still not stuck down, I need a white gel pen to draw on the stitching.

I have finally taken the plunge!!

This is my very 1st ever scrapbook page. After surfing the web for a very very long time checking out other peoples pages I finally got up the courage lol and now I cant stop. I now have many pages which I will slowly post on here over time. I mostly start with a sketch then go from there. Next step is to enter some of the challenges around.

Embossing resist, again

This was a birthday card for a friend of mine whose b-day was a couple of days ago, It uses my favourite technique but this time I have done it on DSP. I love stamping on newsprint patterns Here I have used wheels and lots of different stamps, its hard to see each one separately. Also big butterflies using the Big Shot. I love how this came out.

Countdown Calendar

I know its not Christmas time anymore but next Xmas is just to far away to wait to post this(famous last words, lol). I found this idea on a few American blogs about 2 years ago and have been looking high and low for a 24 hole mini muffin tin at a reasonable price. Well finally I found some. This came out just fantastic, It took quite a few hours to create! I love it and even though the DSP has now retired I'm posting this anyway. I love this paper, I love spots and strips I gave this to my brother and because there are 4 people in his house I couldn't fit much in it so they just got M & M's, its the thought that counts rite. The squares of DSP are stuck onto magnet squares with a little touch of ribbon in between for handles.

Happy Valentines day

I'm back, Time to get back into it all. I have been doing lots of crafting in the months I have been gone just haven't posted it all here. These are two little packages I made for two single friends of mine.Pretty pink card stock rolled with the I {love} Love jumbo wheel. And an oldie but a goodie stamped on the tag. Complete with Banana, bran and blueberry muffins. The gift was well received.
