A Valentine Card

Happy Weekend to You!

Lori from 'Chouxchous' Paper Art is having a Valentine Challenge.

I love Hearts....so I made some time to play along.

Some pretty papers and Cheery Lyn die cut hearts. I made the leaves using paper clay....love the softness they add to the overall look of the card.

Super short post........it is too Hot to sit in front of a computer. We were hoping for a storm to cool things down but, I think it has totally missed us!

Hope you are enjoying a great weekend,

A little scrapping

Hello......hope you are all enjoying a great week....I've taken some time out from Flower production to enter a few challenges before the end of the month.

My first layout is for "Scrapping Outback" 

 "White with a Twist" 
The challenge is to use all the colours as seen in this inspiration photo...
White, Grey, Silver and a touch of Black and one piece of Chip board.

I did find these colours a real challenge! I nearly gave up at one stage....... the first one ended up in the bin, so here is "Take 2"

Love this photo of my daughter ...........standing on Grandma's balcony throwing snow in the air. We did not expect  to see snow when we visited Canada in April!

 I've used Lots of die cut snowflakes, crochet doilys, buttons, bling, pearls, sequins and 'FUN' is chip board.

For my second layout I'm playing along with this sketch challenge at "Kaiser"

Here I am enjoying the "Picture Perfect" view at Yosemite National Park.

The pattern papers are a mixture of a few different Kaiser collections. I've used cricut cartridge 'Mothers Day bouquet' to make the flowers adding a resin flower to the center.

Thank you for taking the time to stop by......now its time to get back to the production line of flowers.

Flower Power

Hello.....it seems like forever since I have posted anything on my blog, I suppose it has not been that long! It just feels like a while because prior to Christmas I was in card production so every few days I had a post. Anyway......I thought I'd pop in today and show you what I've been up to....no cards....no layouts......just lots and lots of Flowers!

 My daughter is getting married in April.......she asked me if I would make paper flowers to decorate the tables at the reception. Soooooooo thats all I've been doing! Its been so much fun , I love making flowers.......I'm so happy with how they have turned out:)

I recently completed an online class with Anna Fearer, she makes the most amazing flowers! Thank you for all the great tips Anna :)

 I have used pattern papers  for a few flowers.......I kinda like the character it adds to them, along with lots of shaping and inking. I still need to tape the wire on these. My cricut is getting a major work out! I have a few other colours to add to the collection, as I make more I'll post some pics.

Have a great day everyone

Happy Creating

Paradise Pier

Happy 2016...Wishing you all a Fabulous New Year!

I'm still plodding along scraping Holiday photos. I have used the latest challenge at "Sketchy Boards" as inspiration for my layout! You have the choice of following the sketch, photo inspiration ...or both.

A fun layout combining the inspiration board.

I have used cricut cartridges'Mickey and Friends' for Mickey Mouse, 'Mickey Font'- Paradise Pier, Star burst- 'Art Philosophy', Ferris Wheel - Summer Vacation.

 Yep, a super simple layout...just added a sprinkling of resin stars.

Hope you can join us.......look forward to seeing what you create!
