Precious Moments....




What a chilly start to May. After an average Summer, it looks like we are going to have a very cool Winter. Great scrapping weather if you ask me!

To get you in the scrapping spirit, today I bring you a step by step page to try yourselves.


To get started, head over to the Scraploot online store to pick up the following:

Cream rose flowers

Now let’s get you started…
1.       Using your cream cardstock, cut a photo mat in the middle of the page. Alternatively, purchase a second sheet and use that for your photo mat. Adhere magic mount to the back of your photo mount.
2.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension III Mamas Dress paper, ink the edges. Place on an angle leaving small bits of cream cardstock visible on each edge.
3.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV Multiplication paper, cut a piece from the black side measuring 17cm wide x 20cm high. Distress and ink. Place 3cm from the left hand edge of your card stock and 2cm from the bottom of your card stock.
4.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV Letter Chart paper, cut a piece10cm wide x 5cm high from the cream side. Distress and ink. Place 5cm from the left hand edge and 9cm from the top of your card stock.
5.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV Inkwell paper, cut a strip of red labels. Ink and place from one side of the page to the other, 3cm from the bottom edge of the cardstock.
6.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV Multiplication paper, cut a piece 14cm wide x 9cm high from the cream side. Distress and ink. Place 2cm from the right edge and 3.5cm from the bottom edge of the cardstock.
7.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV Pen Nibs paper, take the striped side and cut a strip 2.5cm wide x 28cm high. Distress and Ink. Place 0.5cm from the top edge and 7.5cm from the right edge of your card stock.
8.       Place a piece of red velvet ribbon down the length of the last piece of paper, approx 0.5cm from the right edge of it.
9.       From the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV Accessory Sheet, take the cream square with red patterned journaling block. Ink and mount on Magic Mount. Adhere 2.5cm from the right edge and 4cm from the bottom edge.
10.   From the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV Accessory Sheet, take a piece of the ruler strip measuring 10cm and ink. Place against the right hand edge and 4cm from the bottom edge of the cardstock.
11.   Place your photo and mount 5.5cm from the left edge and 12cm from the top edge of your cardstock.
12.   Taking a piece of black lace, place it under your photo mount from the left edge to the edge of the journal tag.
13.   Place a piece of red velvet ribbon and place along the top of the lace, extending all the way to the left hand edge of the cardstock
14.   Taking 2 butterflies from the Jenni Bowlin Alpha/red butterflies stickers, layer and place a piece of magic mount to raise it. Place on the right hand side of your journaling card. Finish with a small black pearl in the middle and a Jenni Bowlin red stick pin underneath.
15.   Create a flower cluster in the top left corner of your photo. Start with the black GT flowers on the bottom, the Red Jenni Bowlin red doily flowers on top and then the cream GT flower on top. Cluster in a group of three and finish with a black Jenni Bowlin decorative rhinesstone brad in the middle of the cluster.
16.   Finish your page with a title from the Jenni Bowlin chalkboard alpha stickers, lining them along the top corner angle of the page.

 
 
Happy scrapping!

Farewell April...


It’s hard to believe we are bidding farewell to April already. The month of public holidays, short work weeks and too much chocolate is over. 

To say farewell to April, I bring you some Prima inspiration to start the week, as we head into May and the colder months ahead (those great months where staying inside and scrapping is a much better idea!)

I have kept the photo as colour rather than changing it to black and white as the colours complemented the paper range so well. The pic is my mum and my adorable nephew on his Christening Day.

 
 
To get you started, you will need to visit the Scraploot online store and pick yourself up the following:


I hope you have enjoyed this week’s instalment. Stay tuned for more inspiration later in the week!

Until next week, Happy Scrapping!

Welcome to Monday....

A new week is upon us and a short one at that. I'm still playing catch up at work, so scrapbooking is a welcome break at the moment! With a day off mid week, it's a great opportunity to sneak in some extra scrapping time!
This week I am using the Jenni Bowlin Red/Black Extension range again. I love this pic of hubby and his brother on his brother’s wedding day. The red from the velvet lounge is a perfect compliment to this range too! I used a lot of different bits of left over scraps on this page.
 
 

To pick up the supplies for this page, visit the Scraploot online store.


Don’t forget to keep an eye out for more DT inspiration during the week and join in the 6th Birthday Celebrations!

Enjoy your week and Happy Scrapping!

Munchkin....

As you can probably figure, I simply can’t go past a photo of my adorable nephew and what a great opportunity with this gorgeous Jenni Bowlin range. This week I bring you a simple step by step page to have a go at.
You will need to head over to the Scraploot online store first to pick up the following:


Now let’s get you started….. 
1.       Using your black cardstock, cut a photo mat in the middle of the page. Alternatively, purchase a second sheet and use that for your photo mat. Adhere magic mount to the back of your photo mount.
2.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "Accessory Sheet" cut a piece from the red dot side measuring 15cm wide x 6cm high. Distress and ink. Place 2cm from the left hand side and 4cm from the top of your cardstock.
3.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "School Dress" sheet, cut a piece from the text side measuring 25cm wide x 20cm high. Distress and ink. Place along the right hand edge of your card stock and 3cm from the bottom of your card stock.
4.       Using the Jenni Bowlin "Lacy Border" paper cut a strip 29cm wide x 5cm high. Distress and ink. Place along the right hand edge of your card stock and 6.5cm from the bottom of your card stock.
5.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "Accessory Sheet”, take the red/cream rectangle part and cut a piece 14cm wide x 6.5cm high. Ink. Place 1cm from the right hand edge of your card stock and 6cm from the bottom of your card stock.
6.       Using the Jenni Bowlin Red Black Extension IV "Multiplication" sheet, cut a piece 13cm wide x 3cm high from the black side. Distress and Ink. Place along the right hand edge of your card stock and 5.5cm from the top of your card stock.
7.       Place your photo 7.5cm from the left hand edge and 9cm from the bottom of the cardstock.
8.       Ink the 2Crafty chipboard pole and cut in half. Place either half along the left hand and bottom edges of your photo map, leaving approximately 1cm gap from the mat. Place rhinestones along chipboard. 
9.       Create your photo cluster in the bottom left hand corner of your photo mat. Take 2 large black flowers and layer. Place a large red flower just off centre of the black ones. Layer black plastic flower directly on top of red one. Place red pearl trinket through mini cream flower and adhere flower to middle of black plastic one. Taking 3 cream medium flowers, scatter under the larger flowers to create a fan effect.   
10.   Take a piece of black string and create a loop effect along the right edge of your photo. Fasten to page with staples. Place 2 butterfly stickers near the loop joins with magic mount. 
11.   Create your title with the letter stickers. Finish with a coat of Glossy Accents to create an epoxy look to the letters. 
12.   Finish your page with journaling and a coat of Glossy Accents on your chipboard.
I hope you have enjoyed this week’s page. Stay tuned for more DT work throughout the week and have a go at the April sketch challenge while you are at it!

Happy scrapping!

Christmas Day 2011 Mini Album

A mini album is a great way to use up scrap pieces of paper, ribbon, cardstock, and embellishments !
Here is a Christmas Day 2011 mini album I made using up the last of my October Afternoon Holiday Style DT pack...


And here are just a few detail shots of some of the pages. This was very quick and easy to put together, as I basically just stuck things down as I went, and once a page seemed "finished" or filled, I moved on to the next one.




The photos I have used are quite small. They are "contact sheet" and "passport" size from the Picasa program. The largest photo is wallet size !


As you can see above, I also showed no mercy to some of the word stickers - so that they fit on my pages, I cut them up !



The supplies for this mini are available from the Scraploot Online Store:

OA Holiday Style Papers - Deck the Halls, Ring-A-Ling, Merry & Bright
OA Holiday Style 12x12 Alpha Stickers
OA Holiday Style Journal Cards
OA Holiday Style Word Stickers
OA Holiday Style Miscellany Pack
OA Holiday Style Little Flyers
GT Jute - Ivory
MA Burlap String - Red
CI Organza - Dark Green with Swirls
Textured Cardstock - Crimson
Flat Cardstock - Kraft
Other: Ink, Dymo Labels, Kaisercraft Rhinestones.

Until next time - Happy Scrapping !

Girly Monday Inspiration

I can’t believe Monday is here again already! I hope you all enjoyed your weekend and were able to get some creative time in. To start off your week, I bring you some more inspiration from the gorgeous Echo Park Yours Truly range.
 
 
 
This one still has a girly feel but with a few darker tones thrown in as well. To get you started, head over to the Scraploot online store and grab the following stock:


I’m loving being able to use all my scraps as well. It’s a great idea to create a stack of cards with those little leftover pieces you have. The Sticker Sheets are a great idea as well and save you some time if you don’t want to drag your stamps out. They help create those quick and easy cards, especially with Valentines Day just around the corner.
 
 
 
Hopefully this has given you a few ideas for the start of the week. The rest of the team will be here during the week to dish up some more inspiration for you!

Happy scrapping!

xx Renae
