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.

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!

A beautiful day for Prima…

Hopefully you’ve all been able to fit in some scrapping time over the long weekend! I’ve been spring cleaning our bedroom cupboards and celebrating hubby’s birthday, so the scrapping time has been minimal but productive.

This week I showcase you some Prima goodness again. I am having a blast with this paper and the wedding pics from my brother and new sister in law’s wedding.

I haven’t used multiple pics in a while but wanted to capture these 2 individual shots of them on one page. I cut down two 6”x4” ones that I had already printed to save wasting them.

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!

A Day of Love...... a wedding and gorgeous Prima!

Welcome to a new week, I can’t believe that March is almost at an end. To kick off the last week of the month, I bring you something from the beautiful Prima range….. I know how you all love Prima!

We celebrated my brother in law’s wedding last weekend and as soon as my husband (yes, my husband) saw these Prima papers, he commented how perfectly they complemented the theme and colours from the wedding. And yes, I must admit, he was spot on! I have used a black and white photo so as not to distract from the gorgeous papers, but if you happened to see some of the pics on my Facebook page, you will know how well matched they are to the wedding (for those that haven't, I have plenty to share in my scrapping over coming weeks, so you won't miss out!).

So with out further adieu, I bring you some inspiration from the new Prima Nature Garden Collection…..

I love the romantic feel of the papers in this range and the soft colours. As the paper is so detailed, I have made a feature out of parts of it to embellish the page. I’ve used the existing sized pieces of the patterns in the paper and cut them out and inked the edges, then finished with some Magic Mount and it has given an instant feature to part of the page.
I also wanted to continue a bit of a butterfly effect that was featured on the papers, so I found 2 different sized butterfly punches in my stash at home and punched out a few and layered them. I gave the edges a light inking and curled up the edges and clustered around the flowers.  
 
Looking to recreate this page? Head over to the Scraploot online store and pick yourself up the following supplies…


I hope you all enjoy the last week of March. Don’t forget to keep your eye out for more inspiration here on the blog during the week. Until next week, happy scrapping!
