happy craft challenge

# happy craft challenge  june  2019.
on thursday i went to the brisbane craft show where  Quentin Redshaw  showed us a  new  technique   using Aussie  Boom Gel.
I had seen it  last time at another show  but  looked interesting  and thought  i would do next time , so  on thursday i  knew the colours i wanted to work with and had the idea  before the show what i was about  to do with it once it dried after 3 days ,
It was a 5 x 7 canvas,  so  taking the staples out and cutting it to the size i needed
I have used , Kaiser  Pink Gelato sticker sheet and  coloured it  with Ranger  Distress Oxide  blueprint sketch  inks  to make them  blue  i then proceeded to add  purple glitter washi tape  to the mix, I  think its Kaisers as well,
About  4 years ago, my friend Nicole Penman  cut out lots of papers for me  as i dont do fussy cutting and cut  all these  kaiser shells out for me , so  about time i use some more  and the  turtle is from Kaiser Deep Sea, a beautiful collection to say the least . I have  coloured and inked some of the edges of the shells and have added some glossy accents  to the bubbles
 the Great day out is from Scrapmatts just love their chipboards
the cardstock is  white cricut and i have  just bought a kit  that has Kaiser  waves stencil,
here i have  got some wet ones and  sprayed  my  Kaiser Denim, Kaiser  White  Dyslusions  London blue and crushed grape an smeared over the stencil to create a  wavy effect i have gone over  again  in different spots  to give the idea of  waves moving ,
my photo is  3 x 4 inch.

Hope you like it and  inspired to  give it a go 
until next time have a great week
cheers

this   months challenge is to use Embossing folders, Arches  and the mood board colours,
I have used a  Kaiser  circle die cut and  cut it in half  to  create 2 arches  i have  placed Kaiser  Basecoat  (blue )  bricks under  the arches and also  with  some  Kaiser  acacate placed under the arches as well for added depth, and left one of the  bast coat  arches  blank,
my embossing folders,  one is a A4 size clocks  that i  purchased  many years ago shortly after i bought  the  ebosser, this is a beautiful machine as its no winding  electric , and is so easy for me to use,
my layout today  is  8  inches by 8 inches, you will find

that  most of my layouts this year will be this size as  the 12 x 12 albums are  taking over my craft  and lounge room, so  need smaller albums now to get them to fit  this size is so easy to work with
i have  drawn a 7.5  inch  white gel pen and written about the story of the pictures, it  reads
My Great Uncle Reg, built this  church, and he and my Great Aunty Rose were the first couple to get married in it , the village  was know as Sherwin Flats , until it took on the name of  Tarago  meaning  country in 1884.
i have  place  3 photos on  the page ,and the  word discover is  from   Scrapmatts chipboards,  i  just love their  chipboards
until next time
 have a fun weekend

Kaiser Corner May collectable challenge

hows your long weekend going , if you are lucky enough to have one this weekend

  last night  i saw that Kaiser  are having a  new challenge and thought seeing as im to make a mothers day card ,why not incorporate the two .   mothers day card along with Collectables

Kaisers  Challenge  this week is to  create something using  Collectables,   my favourite  embellishments 
I have lots  that i  have hanging behind the door,  But  they  must have got too heavy for the  jewellery  hanger i had them on ,as they have all come crashing down to the floor,  i will add  some now to my papers i have  others that ive used papers for  can go back up.  hoping it will stay there this time  ive added some string to the pole now

so today's  card is using 
Kaiser Cookie CD 111 cardstock
island Escape  background
Collectables  used are
Memory lane
tropica
bonjour
full bloom 
had fun creating mums Mothers Day card
 I've also placed a  collectable  bird on the  white envelope    to finish  it

mixed Gypsys scrapbooking shop DT work

                                       My Dad  1st layout
i really loved  doing these   layouts of  my dad , brought back fond memories when  I was a kid  and my dad  racing .My  mum also  did some racing  i will do another layout soon  with  mum in &  another one with me  in ,  but not racing

The Working Man  collection.   what  great  collection for the man in your family.
I really loved working  with  it  for a change from girls & beachy layouts that i really love to work with .
all products can be bought at  Mixed Gypsys  Scrapbooking  shop
products used
Celebr8 paper collection   the Working Man
 - protective pp3603
the man pp 3606
Loyal pp3605
butterfly

  cogs chipboard
colour blast  colour art ink. Walnut ( brown )
its a mans world chipboard
Celebr8  flair
acacate sheet
distress  oxide  bluprint sketch ( dark blue )

 Feeling crafty today . want to  achieve something  new & different .lets go &  create  these  layouts
  (1) i have used  Protective PP3603   as my base for  my double layout ,distress the edges, and  ink  with distress oxide  blueprint sketch  inks ( or any other deep  blue you have ) around the edges,

  (2) Next with  Colour Blast Colour artist  ink  put some in a spray bottle  add some water   mix  the amount of  drops  you add   depends on the darkness of the next  procedure,  I have bought from  mixed  gypsys a  butterfly chipboard with cogs ,   so  i have sprayed  though the chipboard  onto   my base papers around the edges of both  base  sheets ,    you dont need to do middle, as  the  next paper will cover.
dry.   i use my fan lol to dry things in a hurry so im not waiting  you can use heat gun or  place out in the sun ( make sure you put something  on it so it doesn't blow away.

 (3) cut  a blue sheet  of cardstock four and  quarter by six and quarter  and  spray  with the   cog   chipboard, set aside  to dry and use a bit later  in layout

 (4)   with The Man PP3606  cut  circle  out,  i have used  my dinner plate  that we use for  the microwave LOl  from top to bottom its 10  inches round. distress edges again and ink  with blue . so circle on one side  of the layout  & the  negative on the other side of your layout

 (5) next technique  you dont own a  cog stamp,  well here  ive done something new .  with the same  chipboard you used before we are now going to stamp, which i  hope  , the chipboard is now dry also  ,  ink with  Distress oxide  blueprint sketch  onto the  same side  as you used for  the  spraying  now  stamp around the pages  ive only placed it on  one  layout ,but you can do on both if you like .
A Small  Hint - if you have  a soft  sponge  place it under the   paper before you stamp,   and then stamp the  image will come out a  lot sharper )

 ( 6) cut out the bonus sheet  "squares  & rectangles"and  with the acetate.   glue  the  acacate   "life is a one time offer" and  "think outside the box,"   of the squares you have just cut out  only place  liquid  glue  on the darker parts of words ,that way it wont show . when dry.

(7) get   colour artist   ink and  with the dropper  drop  in around the   area,  dollop around the page   i   have a old rag that  i use  to  blot up  anything,  ( even mistakes when i  didn't put the lid back on and it  spilt over my table  oppps ) so  i  just leave a few seconds to  let it  absorb the paper then  blot off what i dont need.  doesnt matter if it smudges  its  for a mans  page,  boys are messy

 ( 8 ) cut out  the chevrons ( arrows ) off the acacate sheet as well as the numbers and assemble  as  layout  shown
 ()  cut  out one  strip of the chevron paper and  distress &  ink  and place across the middle  under the  photo

(9) "its a  mans world  chipboard "is  painted with  walnut  colour Blast Art   ink i just put  one drop on a  craft mat and  used a paint brush  to paint it on .

 ( 10 )  add  flair  to the page ,
add your photo to the  dried mat and stick to the page .

hope you enjoyed  this  -
___________________________________________________
now for  layout 2
so most of  the  layout  has been done  in layout one , so  add your outside of the circle  to this side,  then add   i have  9 photos  4 inch by  3 inch some of the four inch sides go under the  outside edge circle  .i have  distress the edges
cut our cogs from your papers Loyal  PP 3605  distress and ink .
for my title  i have used one of the strips  that you cut off at the bottom  of the page and matted it with  blue cardstock. also cut out my toys   and matted some of my photos
i have  cut  the chain also  in  embellishment  pack and ran it around the cogs and then around half of the page ,  it also has some  green  beads in the packet so when i glued the  chain with wet glue i  just added the green  around the  edges  and let dry.
i have  raised  my dad in this photo  with  collall  3d decoupage  glue ( sorry  karen does not sell this )  i love it use it all the time instead of glue dots,  but you can use glue dots   for the same effect

thank you   hope you enjoyed  my layouts  please share what you have  created please  love to see  something  that ive created
until next time  have a great day .
