Fun in the Sun | Colour Blast

Hey Everyone

Welcome to my new November post for Colour Blast.  I can't believe in a few short weeks it will be Christmas 2018.  Where on earth has this last year gone.  CRAZY!!!

My brother recently sent me some photos of his families recent trip to Cable Beach in WA during the last kids school holidays.  I really love this photo of my two nieces and loved the colour combination and knew I just wanted to replicate it in a scrapbooking page.

 

To create my background I used the Colour Shimmer Dusts in Peacock, Sunflower and Amber.

I prepped my white cardstock with Heavy White Gesso. 

(I forgot to take a picture of the cardstock with all colours)

 Next I mixed Colour Paste in Tangerine Dream and Sunflower together to create marbled effect and then applied it through a stencil over the orange part of the background to create a look like rocks to match the background of the photo.

I used a lot of a D-lish Scraps Just Add Paper kit on this layout.  I used the Colour Embossing Powder in Sunshine for my sun and in Deep Water and Envy on the title.

I then constructed the layout with flowers, die cuts and embellishments. Check out a couple of close-ups.  

Thanks for stopping by today.

Christmas Mini Album | Couture Creations

Hi Everyone, Anita back with you today on the blog.  

I have been really enjoying the new Couture Creations range designed by Tina Higgins, 

Let Every Day Be Christmas. It is nice to work with a range that isn't the normal traditional

Christmas colours of greens and reds.  This range incorporates soft lemons with greens and blues and some hints of a red.  It is lovely, and should be in your papercraft stores now, or nearly there.

So, for my project today I have only used the A4 paper pad and the Ephemera pack from the range to make this concertina mini album.  All other bits and pieces came from my stash.  

My mum loves projects like this that I make her that she can put a celebration is so when I give this to her it will have photos of our Christmas 2016 in it.

I won't go in to details about how to construct the album as I found it easily by doing a 

simple search on You Tube.  The finished size of my album came to just over 5".

Inside my album I made some pages with small pockets each of which I adorned with some different laces.  Some pages had ephemera on them.   

To be totally honest it was a very quick album to make.

 

PRODUCTS USED:

CO725490 - Couture Creations Let Every Day Be Christmas - A4 Paper Pad

CO725493 - Couture Creations Let Every Day Be Christmas - Ephemera Pack

Thank you for stopping by.  

until next time... keep on crafting.

Little Miss Busy | D-lish Scraps

Hi Everyone,

It has been so hot here where I live just north of Brisbane so I have been staying inside out of this terrible heat and humidity.  Fortunately I can turn on the air-conditioning and disappear in to my craft room during the day before I head to work.  

Today I thought I would share with you the layout I created to showcase the January Just Add Paper kit that is available in the D-Lish Scraps open store.  It is filled with beautiful 'sorbet' colours.  If you drop by the The Scrap Suite Facebook page you will see more inspiration by the Design Team using these colours.

 

 This is my cute little niece Lilli and she loves her mum taking photos of her.

Thanks for stopping by.

This is Love

Hi Everyone,

Below is a layout I created recently and that appeared on the D-lish blog on the 3rd of November.  I am a lover of the monthly Just Add Paper kits so had heaps of fun playing with the kit for October. 

If you are looking for some cute embellishments for your scrapbooking and cardmaking you should check out a local South Each Queensland business.  You can find everything you need at the D-lish Open Stores site.

Here are a couple of closeups of my layout particularly showing the great little tencil that I got with my Just Add Paper kit.

To achieve this look I used some embossing paste on my stencil and whilst it was still wet covered it with embossing powder.  Once dry I heated it until it bubbled which then gave it the funky texture.

So take out those Just Add Paper kits and get crafting.  They are so awesome and even with my layout I had heaps of little goodies left to add to my collection of goodies. 
New kits are released at 7pm Queensland time on the 1st of every month.  

Thanks for joining me today

See you all again soon.

Anita xx
