Merry Christmas

Hey Everyone,

I've been thinking about this challenge at Kraft Plus all month...I was in all directions! Then last night I decided on just a basic window on my page.

'I Can See Clearly Now'

Use something see-through on your layout.
Think vellum, plastic, glass, bubble wrap etc etc.

The hardest part of this page was finding a suitable photo!

The brick background design, window frame, flowers, and banner were all cut with my cricut. The branches and leaves were all cut using Tim Holtz dies. I also managed to add my favorite crochet doilies. 😍The Christmas lights are rubons. My clear element is sequins and recycled packaging for the window panes. 

Hope you are having a great week, thanks for visiting

Happy Crafting

Happy 2017

Hello, Happy 2017!

After Christmas its taken me a little time to get back into the swing of creating.....I've actually been enjoying doing not much! The weather has been really warm, so the pool is the best place to be!

OK.....my New Years resolution is to get my many photos scrapped, so that means more photos on a page! Its been a long time since I created a double page layout....I had fun with it!

This page is for "Auzz Trinklets N Kraft"

The theme for January is 'Make it Girly'. The first think I thought of was flowers and Pink.

All the embellishment are die cut using 'Lifes a Beach' cricut cartridge.

I covered the title in micro beads...they reminded me of the neon lights. Time to use up old supplies in my stash...beads for Las Vegas.

The design on the large circle is rubons coloured in with water colour pencils.

The tail feathers were die cut with a spell binders die....perfect place for a sprinkle of sequins.....I had to fit them on this page somewhere!

Have a great week...so nice of you to stop by!

Happy creating

Christmas Creating

Hello..........Six days till Christmas! Are You Organised? For once I think I am, which is a good feeling :)

Today I have a few more Christmas creations to share with you.

Last week I showed you this ornament, made from a jar lid.

Here are two more

 Love the snowy scenes!

And Below are DIY Gift bags created using stamps from "Auzz Trinklets n Kraft"

"Gabi's stitched circle and square stamp set"

The bags were made from everyday printing paper. I determined the size of the bag, then joined the seam together with washi tape. I used a variety of stamps to created the gingham, circle and word collage tags. The red tags with hearts were die cut. I made the bow using We R memory keepers envelope punch.

I had lots of packaging and bags after doing my christmas shopping last week....before  throwing anything out, I think about what I can

re-purpose. These handles were cut from another bag

 I hope this gives you a few ideas.......don't buy gift bags, have fun with your stamps and DIY

I'm linking these  up with "Paper Sweeties" challenge.

A few of You might know that my son will not be with us for Christmas this year.....he is working in the Canadian snow fields, enjoying a 'WHITE Christmas'!

This is the card I made for Him.....Santa enjoying 

" SUN SAND & SURF "

Google helped me find this Fun image.....I printed it off, and Ta Da, an Aussie Christmas card. I die cut the deer using 'Create a Critter' cartridge!

I want to thank you all so much for visiting me , I appreciate your kind words!

Wishing You a VERY

MERRY CHRISTMAS

enjoy the time with your families........see you in 2017

Love that Smile

Hey, Hope you are having a great week!

Today I'd like to share a layout I created for

 "Auzz Trinklets N Kraft". 

The theme for November is Strips and Stripes.

Be sure to check out the great selection of 'stamens' from the store. Here is a photo of just a few I have :)

I've used a Navy stamen in the center.

The flowers were die cut with Mothers day Bouquet cricut cartridge....I tried to create flowers similar to the ones in the background pattern paper. The leaves were also cut with the same cartridge, dipped in glue then covered in chunky glitter.

My two Girls..........Love that Smile

For the Strips and Stripes ...... I've added 3 strips of paper under the photo, love the fringed bottom.

The next few days around here are really busy....Thank you so much for the comments you leave, I will be visiting you soon.

Purple & Pretty :)

Hey Everyone.....so nice of you to visit!
I have two cards to share with you today........Its my week to post a project at Auzz Trinklets N Kraft. The theme for October is Halloween colours, so I've decided to go with Purple.

 I've used WOW Melt-it Powder mixed with embossing powder, and silicon moulds to create the black oval frame and purple butterfly below.

The next  card is for Becca Cruger's 

"Hop to STOP 2016"

Thanks Becca for bringing awarness to this issue :)

Live what You Love

Happy Weekend Everyone!

Today I'm sharing a layout that I created for "Auzz Trinklets N Kraft". The Theme for October is Halloween Colours. 

I have used "Altenew Spring Daisy" stamp collection

I used the outline daisy stamp with Versamark to stamp all over white card stock, then I heat embossed it in Black.

The flowers were coloured with water colour paints.  I cut a strip for the background then fussy cut the remainder of the flowers.

Lastly  a few of my favorite things to embellish......Shaker sequin mix, buttons, crochet doilies and some cute 'Flairs'

Oh and one last thing......ha ha 'my hair'....adds to the Halloween theme :)  LOL

I Love Donuts!

Hello Crafty Friends, 

Today I have a few cards to share, that I created using products from "Auzz Trinklets N Kraft"

 I have used the fun stamp set

"I love Donuts" by Simon Says stamp, Nuvo Crystal Drops and MFT stitched rectangle die.

A Donut shape card just for Fun.......Sprinkled with lots of Crystal drops. 

Crystal drops come in a huge variety of colours and four different finishes - Matt, Pearl, Glitter and Clear. I have use the matt on my chocolate icing.....when dry they have a high gloss finish just like enamel dots.....but a lot cheaper. I created the Donut shape using my cricut and Slumber Party cartridge.

I started thinking about my favorite Donut.......Plain with a sprinkle of sugar and cinnamon on top. So, here is my plain card !

 I used my cricut to die cut 'Donut'.....the sentiment is from the stamp set 'I love donuts'. Love the fun play on words!

I'm still busy painting........it was fun taking some time out to make a few cards.

Hope you have had a great week...Happy weekend!

Time to play catch up

Hey Everyone,

I've been so busy painting walls in my house , I totally forgot to share a few layouts for September challenges.

The first page is for "Auzz Trinklets N Kraft" The theme for September is 'Boys will be Boys'.........not a flower in sight!

My son....looking very Handsome for his Grade 12 Formal.

Products from Auzz Trinklets n Kraft - MFT stitched frame, 49 Market Gabi's stitched line set.

'Handsome' is die cut with my cricut and cricut basics cartridge.

My second page is for "Sketchy Boards"

I have combined both the sketch and colour inspiration on my layout.

Love the pretty paper from Pion Designs

I have used 'Cricut Flower Shoppe' to create the Flowers, Cherish - I think is from 'Art Philosophy'. ( I really should write the name of cartridges down when I've used them)\

A few friends of mine asked me if I would do a class for them on this layout I created a few weeks back....where I used a napkin and sheet music to create the background.

I was unable to find the same flower embellishments ........but I think these colours are pretty too :)

For more info on this layout go HERE to the original post

Hope you are having a Fabulous week.....Thank you for stopping by,

Happy Creating
