Project Life Weeks 46 & 47

I'm back with another PL share and this time I have used the Slate Edition.  I have this kit in physical form but I have some cards in digital form so I have used a mixture of the two for these pages.  The title cards are physical cards with the date stamped on with a good ol' date stamp and ink!

Week 46.....

Week 47.....

 Apologies again for the photography- I had to shoot these indoors as the easterly wind was too strong outside.  That's summer in Perth for you!

Project Life Weeks 44 & 45

I have been spending some time doing a PL catchup to finish off 2015 and today I have Weeks 44 and 45 to share using the Seafoam Collection. As usual, I have created my cards digitally in Photoshop and printed to slip into my Design A Page Protectors.

Week 44.....

Week 45.....

Please excuse the photography- I used my phone to take them on the floor of my craft room.  I took them outside but they kept blowing away!

See you soon for another couple of PL weeks :-)

Turtle Soup | Sunday Card Sketch

I'm back with another project for Turtle Soup and this time it's a card sketch.

Here's my take on the sketch- it's a shaker card :-)

I switched my embellishment cluster with the sentiment positions on the sketch.

I used patterned paper from Simple Stories, star dies from Paper Smooches and a sentiment from WPlus9.

Be sure to head over to Turtle Soup to play along.

Turtle Soup | Monday Sketch Reveal

Hi everyone- I'm back after a blogging break during which time we have finished the school year, moved house and hosted family for Christmas.  I am also excited to announce that I have joined the Turtle Soup team and will be hanging out over at their forums this year.

My first assignment was to create a layout using this sketch.....

I pulled out some goodies from the Fancy Pants Designs "Be Different" Collection and created this layout.....

I hope you will check out Turtle Soup and join in the fun!

Project Life Weeks 42 & 43

I'm back with another two pages and I've used the Dear Lizzy Polka Dot Party Mini Kit.  As usual, all the elements were created digitally in Photoshop before printing with my Epson Picturemate printer.

Here is Week 42.....

And here is Week 43.....

Although Halloween is not a huge celebration here in Australia, our neighbourhood kids love to dress up and go Trick-or-Treating.  Most people are prepared and have treats ready for them and it's always lovely to walk the streets and see our neighbours out and about.

Thanks for stopping by!

Kraft Plus | November Challenge

I'm playing along at Kraft Plus again and the November challenge is a doozy! The challenge is to be inspired by P!nk, the artist.

I drew my inspiration from her song "Perfect" and turned my layout into a message to myself.  I have had a difficult time this past couple of years with mental illness and I wanted to remind myself that I am just perfect the way I am.

Her "I'm Not Dead" album cover inspired my use of floral patterned paper on my layout- more fussy-cutting than I would normally do, but worth it I think.

I used my Silhouette Cameo to create the song lyrics on the left hand side, removing random letters to let the paper underneath peek through.  When I got to the part I felt was the most important message, I removed all of the letters to make it stand out.  I used patterned papers from Crate Paper's "Random" Collection and the "Things I Know" stamp is from a really old set from 7gypsies.

The team at Kraft Plus sure do know how to get the creativity flowing- their challenges always push me out of my comfort zone and I love it!

Feeling Sketchy | Sketch #132

I'm playing along at Feeling Sketchy today and instead of using the sketch for a card, I have made a layout.

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees anti-clockwise and used a very old collection from Studio Calico.  I am continuing my mission to use up older collections whenever I make a page :-)

Thanks for stopping by!
