Scrapbook Fantasies May Page Competition.

I've had these photos lying around for a while. They've been stuck to the fridge with magnets dropped on the floor, lost in a pile of papers on the bench and then returned to the big pile of photos. Naturally distressed photos from all the love they have endured. A friend took them for me so I don't have any copies in better condition so I decided to use them on my layout as is. I think these black and white photos go great with this paper range. At least now these photos will be looked after better than before. I've also added a few close ups of details as well.

The May Competition Pack can be purchased from Scrapbook Fantasies.

Design Team at Scrapbook Fantasies.

Welcome and Happy 2013.
A fresh new year brings with it exciting new opportunities and endless possibilities.
I have recently been enjoying the weekly layout, card and sketch challenges online at
 "Scrapbook Fantasies" and also at "My Creative Slice" . I find these are a great way to challenge yourself when you begin to run out of creative ideas. If you are into scrapbooking or would like to start, pop over and check them out and have a go. They are so much fun and you get to check out what other Scrapbookers create as well. There are also lots of bonus prizes on offer too.

My lovely friend Alicia, owner of Scrapbook Fantasies recently invited me to join her Design Team. Which involves creating Scrapbook Layouts and Cardmaking with new paper collections. I gratefully accepted the invitation and I couldn't wait to get started. Make sure you check out the other talented design team members Alicia , Mar, Candy and Paula's lovely work also.

The first range that I got to work with is the Kaisercraft Suga Pop Collection which is being released in February 2013. The colours are lovely to work with and the gorgeous owls (who doesn't love owls) birds, hearts, egg/oval shapes and flowery patterns make it work well with many different photos and themes.
Perfect for Valentines Day, Easter, Baby, Feminine and surprisingly Masculine style layouts and cards.
I think it's also the first time I've used Kaisercardstock which I found to have a lovely soft texture which was great to machine stitch on.

These are the following layouts that I created using the Kaisercraft Suga Pop range.

Also the 6" x 6" cards I created using the same range.

The following layout and cards are created using the Kaisercraft Pickled Pear and Magnolia Range which are the January monthly page and card competition kits that can be purchased from Scrapbook Fantasies.
I love how the the kits are coordinated and ready to go. All you need to do is find the perfect photo and play around with it until it all falls into place. Also great to use if you are just starting out scrapbooking, short of time or overwhelmed when choosing papers from the huge range to compliment your photos.

The January Monthly Page Competition Kit.
The black bow was made by ripping the lovely black tulle ribbon flower to pieces. Yes I know very delicate work here. I also used a circle/bubbles template, texture paste, yellow mist and turquoise ink,black ink, machine stitching,butterfly punch. I also loved the challenge of using floral papers to make my baby boy layout work.

The January Monthly Card Competion Kit.
This kit contains a generous amount of cardstock and patterned papers and I managed to make two cards.
The birdcage is made using the Kaisercraft birdcage template and texture paste. Then rubbing pine cone and gold ink pads over the top lightly. The flowers have all been fussy cut and layered using thick double sided tape.

Show and Tell........

I've been checking out and having a go at a few Scrapbooking Challenge blogs recently.

The following is a combined challenge from CSI and Once Upon A Sketch .

 

 

 

I had heaps of fun and can't wait to try some other challenges.

Scrapping Again!

I recently attended 'Scrapbook Fantasies' annual scrapbooking retreat that was held earlier this month with my Mum and two of her lovely friends. We had a very enjoyable and well deserved weekend away. I have returned home with a need to get back into some serious scrapbooking that seems to have been neglected big time over the last few years.

 I've started with my daughters primary school portaits and class photos and have completed 8 pages in the last week. Including the years that haven't been reached so that the style and papers used are similar all the way through. To make it easier I selected several papers that went well together and cut each into enough pieces for each of the 8 pages. Using a similar layout and embellishments on each page to make my goal more achievable.

Hopefully seeing the completed pages keeps my interest and I continue to get through all these precious memories that need to be scrapped so we can enjoy them. Rather than being packed away in a box and forgotten. Fingers crossed!
