Stuck?! Sketches Challenge

I have created this layout using Stuck?! Sketches sketch that you can find here.

This is the sketch.

I created the background using Glimmermists Yellow Daisy, Starfish and Turquoise Blue and Glad-wrap. It has made the most beautiful gold shimmery effect which does not show up in the photos unfortunately. I then used TCW 6" x 6" stencilMini Labyrinth and Texture Paste in a rough circle around where I planned on putting the photo. I have used a Kaisercraft transparency Clock Face, which I cut to suit, behind my patterned papers. The patterned papers I have used are the Kaisercraft Confetti range. I have mounted my photo on a piece of cardboard for added dimension. The word Sassy is a rub-on from Kaisercraft. i have added some cotton threads in matching colours at the back of my title a few enamel dots and a little circular embellishment made with Sizzix dies and another rub-on

Why not pop over and have a look at the other entries or better still create a layout and enter the competition. Lots of great prizes to be won.

Birthday Card and Book

Hi there
It is a friend's birthday next week and i have been busy making her a card and a photo book.

This is the card and I have used the same range of papers on her card as I used in the book. The are a variety of Kaiser papers.

For the book I used an old novel that I bought from the Op Shop. I cut the story out of the book just using the cover. I wound Cloth Tape (Duct tape) around the spine of the book to give it some extra strength. I made up 3 signatures using 10 sheets of double sided patterned paper, giving each signature 20 pages. As it turned out this was too many for this sized book and I only had room to decorate the first and last signature otherwise the book would never have closed.

I covered the outside and inside of the cover with patterned paper leaving the tape on the spine exposed. Depending on the cover of the book you use you could leave this step out.
I then used fishing line to bind the signature into the cover

Then the task of decorating the pages. Some of the pages have pockets but most of them have tabs to slip the photo behind. I have used a sewing theme as my friend does her own dressmaking.

The cover

The page on the left has a little booklet on it that will hold 3 photos

I made this dress out of patterned paper using instructions I saw on youtube. Unfortunately I did not note the name of the person who posted the video.

The page on the left once again has a little booklet. This one holds 4 photos and there is a journalling card at the back of the booklet

 Wow that is a very long post. If you have made it this far thank you.

A Layout and a Card

This is a layout I did recently and forgot to share on here. I have heat embossed the butterflies on the patterned background paper and also fussy cut some heat embossed butterflies that I did at the same time. All the edges of the patterned papers are distressed and I have used a punch to highlight several areas. The flowers were hand made using Kaisercraft DD707 Layered Flowers die. The title was cut using my Cricut. I have added Dimensional Magic to the title.

I made this card for a friends birthday. Lots of layers here. A hand made flower, some die cutting and punching along with some embossing and glimmermist

She Art Canvas

I did an online course with Christy Tomlinson called She Art. I really enjoyed the course and I find Christy to be very informative and doesn't hold back with her information on how she does things. The information I got from this course can be used in any art journalling and is very helpful for me. This is what I made. It is a 8" x 10" boxed canvas.

I Decided to Fly Art Journal page

This is another Art Journal page I finished this week. Recuperating from shoulder surgery has given me plenty of spare time.

I used Distress paints on the background, then wiped the paint off through a stencil to create the mottled effect. Texture paste through a stencil, stamping and rub-ons also went into the background. The birds were heat embossed and the coloured with Distress Inks and a finger dabber. The fence is strips of scrapbooking paper. The flowers are burlap stuck on with the hot glue gun.

Barbie Dress Layout

I finished this layout today. I love the photos, they were taken on Christmas morning 2014 and Charli had just opened her present from my Mum, her great grandmother, It was this pink Barbie Dress. She was so excited. She had also got some lippy and fingernail polish, so she rushed off to do her makeup and put her dress on and this is what she came back with. She was so pleased with herself.

I have used papers from a Heidi Swapp paper pad I bought ages ago called Favourite Things, chipboard hexagons from Imaginarium Designs, punches by Martha Stewart, Kindy Glitz on the wooden heartland the title is cut using Sizzles "Cherish" alphabet. The brads and lace are from my stash.

Mothers Day 2014 Layout

A quick post today to share this layout I have just completed. I saw a pin on Pinterest and just loved it so I have not strayed far from the original design. The original had 3 photos but I have used 6 and cut down on the embellishments.

Once again using photos from Mothers Day 2014.

I have used Modelling Paste which dries white and also Impasto Paste which dries clear through a brick stencil on the background, also splattered some Black Magic Glimmermist around.
