A Whole LOT of Creativeness!!!

Hi bloggers!!!

I'm trying to get back to blogging on here a little more regularly & not leaving it neglected for so long. So as a bit of a a catch up - here is a whole lot of creativeness to overload your mojo ;)

 

Operation #CREATIVEKARMA

I decided in early December I wanted to do

something to 'give back' in a way. So I came up with 'Operation #CREATIVEKARMA'

I picked people from my list of Facebook friends & snooped thru their photos that they had posted, picked out one of my favs & thought held a bit of sediment to them, to get a scrapbooking layout for them. A total surprise, no idea - I felt a little like a 'Secret Santa' LOL.

I am extremely happy to put a smile on some else's face with my simple gesture of creativity & hope that they love them as much as I loved creating them xo

I pretty much was on fire creating these -

It was a fantastic mojo boost to create without abandoment - 

I highly recommend it ;)

Show Us Your Stuff - January Challenge

Happy New Year and welcome to 2016!
To kick off the year, at SUYS we thought we would ease you in gently with a simple mood board challenge. This one has been designed by Sue and is designed to reflect the current summer season here in Australia. 

Here is my take on the mood board, 'Hello Handsome'

The handmade item I have used is a

Flair button from Flutterby Designs.

I have also used acrylis paint, AC Thickers, date stamp, black thread & everything else is from

Flutterby Designs LOL.

Including: Everyday Etc Cards, Pag Tab cut-outs, Wood veneers, Enamel dots, stencil & stamps.

Head over to the SUYS blog & why not have a crack at this challenge - you could win yourself some great prizes!!

2Crafty Post for May

Hi 2Crafty fans!

I've stopped in to share a layout I created using some fab chippy pieces.

This is Riley - my little terror. Having a scrapping mummy,

he has quickly learn't that I take photos ALL the time LOL!

 

 'Lucky You're Cute'

I have used a variety different textures/mediums/stamps/stencils

to create a grungy background. Strips of scrap paper, book pages,

washi tape, joint tape etc all stuck down, then gesso over (roughly)

the whole she-bang! I've used Gelatos & Colourshine sprays to add 

in colour. The black splattering/dribbles is actually black house paint!?!

I borrowed this technique from the fab Lisa Oxley ;)

 Once it was all dry - I went back in armed with a variety stamps & my 

black archival ink & stamped away!

I then glued down 'nests' of black cotton & then put my 2Crafty chippy

over the top of it. I have left it raw in this instance & used my tiny stapler to

stick it onto my layout.

To finish off, I've used a few different embellishments - Page tabs, flair button,

different alphabets for title, enamel dots etc.

'Bubble Clumps'

April 2 Crafty share

I'm back to share a layout I've done using some of the new 2 Crafty chippy pieces.

I LOVE how this one turned out!!

This is a picture of my scrappy friend Lisa Oxley at a retreat we attended

last August. The dreamcatcher chippy is so up her alley &

I couldn't think of a better person to use them with :)

 

'Dream Big Sister'

I've used a Flutterby Designs stencil ('Random Blatherings'), arcylic paint & texture

paste on so white cardstock. Once that was dry, I ripped it & other bits of

paper into strips. I began layering them the washi tape, joint tape & old

book pages. Once I was happy with that, I started splattering & putting

on layers of acrylic paint.

I've left the 'Dotty Bits' raw & used them to layer up over

my messy textured backround.

I've also used 2 'Dreamcatchers', I've used acrylic paint to splatter

randomly over these to achieve this look.

I've used a few other embellishments like: Black thread, Flutterby Designs flair button,

Thickers, Alphabet stickers & enamel dots.
