Hi everybody, it's Tina with a few things to share. 
First up is a layout I created using the new Bo Bunny "Gabrielle" collection.  This is absolutely gorgeous paper.  I used a Martha Stewart punch to create my photo mat.



 I made this cute box to fill with Easter Eggs, from Kaisercraft "Bubblegum Hills" collection.




This is a quick and cute flower you can make out of crepe paper.  Cut a strip of crepe paper about 6cm wide.  Sew a gathering stitch down the middle.  Fold in half and gather by pulling one of the threads.  You can go round once (2 layers of paper), or twice (which will create 4 layers of paper).  Pop a brad through the middle and you're done!

 This layout features a photo taken when my dad,  travelled to Surfers Paradise.  This was published in the Australian Scrapbooking Ideas magazine (Issue #3).








 I used Impasto gel to attach the shells.

 I used Tim Holtz crackle paint and Distress Stickles, then inked over it with Distress Ink.
 I hope I've inspired you to get creating! 
Happy scrapping!
Tina

Hi, It's Tina with a few layouts to show you.  Sometimes it can be hard to scrap all those birthday photos.  If you're anything like me, you take a hundred photos!  So what did I do with these ones from my daughters 9th birthday?  I ended up doing a heap of multi-photo pages, so she has all her friends in the photos, and can remember all the fun.




The paper was quite busy so I kept the layouts simple so the focus stayed on the photos.  I used a hidden journalling pocket to include extra information.



I used paint to create a base for my journalling and title on two of the pages.



I hope this has given you some ideas for scrapping those events with lots of photos.

I made a card using Kaisercraft's English Rose papers....

And discovered I could make decorative strips with my Martha Stewart Deco Fan punch by flipping my paper over .  You could also make individual "flowers" by cutting them apart.

 I used it on this layout...

 I love this "Once upon a springtime"collection by Graphic 45.






 I used Stickles and Kaisercraft bling in the flower centres.




Till next time...
Hugs
Tina

Hi everybody, Tina here!
In keeping with our theme of "Birthdays and Blooms" at Artfull Crafts, I thought I'd post a few pics for you.  The first is a card or photo holder ( I haven't decided which yet) using Kaisercrafts Recipe Box.


I used K & Company Que Sera Sera papers, Creative Imaginations rub-on, Prima bling, and lots of flowers, some of which I have spritzed with Glimmer Mist, or applied Stickles, or Diamond Dust.
I will place some photos in the 'windows' once I get them printed.  This project took around 6 hours to make, but I do love how it turned out.

I was using up my scraps with this layout.    It is based on a sketch/recipe from a challenge blog (but I can't find which one, so if you know please leave me a message so I can give them credit)
I made a flower from a strip of muslin, folded in half, using a running stitch to gather it.  I added a button to the centre.  Other flowers were made using the Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die, I stamped on one with pink ink.

 I hand-dyed a doiley using Glimmer Mist, and used this as a flower with part of my title as its centre.  Dyeing it gives a different look than just spritzing the doiley.  I usually do a batch and dye doileys, old lace, and seam binding.

My next layout is my DT project for Scrappassion Challenge Blog International where we had to make a monochromatic layout with at least four photos.   
There's prizes to be won, by either joining the challenge, or by becoming a follower, so head on over to the blog after you've checked out my pics.
I used a Martha Stewart punch, and I coloured almost everything with Glimmer Mist (I'm sure I told you I love that stuff!)

 

Hi, it's Tina here with a few pics to share.   As you've probably noticed, I love adding blooms to my projects,  it gives depth and texture, and they are so pretty!

First I have a card I made, based on Tanya Leigh's sketch.  I used Kaisercraft's English Rose collection.  I love that the reverse of the barcode strip is decorated...very sweet.  I used Kaiser's new Paper Blooms  and Sullivan's mini roses on it too.



My layout was made using Graphic 45 "Once Upon A Springtime" paper.   These papers are seriously gorgeous with lots of flowers and fairies.  And the paper is a really, good quality, fantastic for layering and fussy cutting.
 I used Tim Holtz filmstrip, lots of lovely flowers, and Graphic 45 diecut tags and frames.   I added a little extra glitz with some Stickles.
