Sketchy Boards November Challenge

Thanks Sketchy Boards   for this great sketch & colour palette. I really love these colours together.

Starting with Kaiser Fairy Dust Collection P1967  Pixie, I endeavored to change the appearance a bit. I started using  gesso, then remembered  half way thought, that i was going  to use gelatos and texture paste would be better suited for  this,   as it turned, I  only used the  Gelatos  a little bit  as i changed my min

d again , this happens  you start off going one way,  &   do something else along the  way,

  Using Kaiser - T602 Damask stencil,  texture paste over it and while still on there, i sprayed  with a mixture of  Kaiser denim  mists , Dylusions After Midnight  sprays,  &  a touch of Mister Hueys opaque white colour mists. as some of it was a bit dark. left it there a few minutes to  set a little,  after taking off the stencil, ive got some wet ones and  blotted up any  blotches &  dabbed them around the edges.

 I've had in my scraps, some  paper with bats on, & thought, its either throw it away or use,  so i have made  them with the strips, just showing a bit of the  bats for  depth.

At the recent craft show at southport, i purchased, in a section where one makes hats,  some flowers

Also in my stash, ive had the , sparklets, Butterflies, glass  buttons,  flowers & swirls  which I have placed around . the layout.

In White with one  November challenge, i  purchased a mystery pack  from the Resin Rainbow,   I paid $5.00 for my mystery pack,  & had some left over pieces, (still have more)  so here i have used the leaves under my flowers
 on the left hand of the page, i  have used the  Martha  Stewart punch to create a border along in purple cardstock.
 i have painted  one chipboard circle with dylusions spray and the other one with Faber-Castell Gelatos light purple

hope  you enjoy my layout, as much as i really enjoyed creating this page this afternoon. Im extremely pleased with my result today.

 Using  my 6 inch cricut machine, and the art booking  cartridge, ive  cut out the word Halloween.

until next month, not long to go.

White with one

White with one  challenge our one color this month is grape

I received  my first mystery pack  to start my challenge, as i was away ,when it came, im not sure it the heat, did it , or just being in the hot house ,while we were away, but some of my pack had melted  so i  made the best with what i had ,no problems.

As it was i ended up cutting up most  of the patterned part, i have used the flowers & what parts i could use,

with my cricut machine and my new cartridge, i created the word Halloween, webs &  picket fence,
I went to a craft show on the 14th November & found some feathers ( that's designed for making  fastanators but my mind went  to thinking of making it look part of spiders web, i have also wound it around the  embellishments ( from mystery pack )
i have used a kaiser stamp for a bit of background effect and  some frosted lace stickles

at the craft show, i have also purchased a witches stamp,  from Ectectic Images  Art stamps  & scrapbook papers.
i have some X-press it  glitter deco tape in purple
i have popped my photo  up with foam dots, to make it look like im flying.

123 October challenge

thanks  for this great challenge,

I recently went  away for the weekend and came home via  a different way, we stopped at a creek to take some photos, ( i don't usually paddle in creeks,  but my feet were swollen)  it wasn't til i got home & saw your challenge , that i thought , what  a great  colours to work on these photos

Colour - Lime
Word   - Today
Tech   -  Spots

 I have used black cardstock.
then with 2 stencils, on lime green card stock i have used white gesso,


 i have put the stencils on top of each other one likes rays the other spots to create the background,

I love Kaiser Limelight collection,  but did not want to overpower it with papers so with the collectables and a bit of gauge . i bent the leaves for depth and popped up a few  flowers,
i used collage photos and coloured with green background on the page then matted it with black.

I have popped the word today and the bird as well.

until next month, not sure i will have time next month to do challenges,  but will see how i go,

leaving tomorrow for 10  days holiday, so  beach, sand,  hopefully sun, fishing & my cousins are calling in  )when i return home its back to  taking people to appointments,  ( im the driver for all family members, i better stay healthy )

where did the year go ? ? ? ?

 until next time  have fun, enjoy  scrapping .

white with 1 October challenge

 i have lots of ink pads tthat i bought on the cheap, wondering if  stamping would take a hold of me,when i started scrapping many years ago,  i do have lots of lvoely stamps now, but rarely think of them on layouts  but on cards,  but those 1st lot of cheap ink pads,  that i bought are still sitting there, as i  love all the new ones that come out, hence, they are almost dried up, so i thought it does not matter , what i do with them i dont have reinkers for them.

 with this in mind, the challenge of the month, peach puff, , so i got out my ink pads( only one  orange of) couture creations craft mat, water spritzer inked my  mat, sprayed water on the ink  pad a bit of white gesso, and mixed to the consistency i wanted,
My Kaiser Stencil, brick work, does wonders for  this layout of the church at Casino, i  brushed the  ink over  the stencil,
Then with  recently  bought stamps from Casino, I  used , kaiser lattice and morocco clear stamps with left over  gesso & ink around the page.

 i have lots of chipboards , so going though,  I found one that had trees and brick work, well the trees can do for another layout, inking it with Dew Drop Brilliance moonlight white  ( which i just love)
 I inked the fence, words  bricks and swirls.

i recently, won  a prize from Close to my Heart September challenge and just picked it up today, and  wow theres apricot  embellishments just the right colour, here i have added  hearts, arrow, and stars to the layout.

 The flowers are a mixture of prima flowers and ribbon flowers, which soe  have  inked just the edges
 I have used, glossy accents on the words  Casino Church.

 until next month,
thanks for stopping by,
oh , just noticed that the  flash on the photo.

paper addicts October challenge

 hi all, well, i know its been a while, since ive done any challenges and well, im not fully recovered as yet,  still sore,  but doctors assure me , that i have now  a pulled muscles  from all the coughing i ave done, but thought ,after my great weekend away, scrapping for the first time in over a month, i  thought i would start this challenge for paper addicts  using the double layout  sketch,

here is the sketch  and i have just realized, that i have a extra photo in my double layout , but never mind, all will be good

I recently won from Kraft Plus august challenge a prize from Sawyers Place in Western Australia, &  the prize came  yesterday ,it is lovely receiving  gifts in the post, something that does not happen too much  here at our house. 

So I  have started with black cardstock, but then thought, that i have had some acetate papers with the words road trip are we there yet, which i must admit, ive had for many years , too many to count,  you have been there, i will use it one day, well, now is the time to start using these  items as im getting older and i have paid for them , not  to  sit in the cupboard to be admired. i have cut it up so it could be used over 2 pages, so  then i got out my white card stock, which showed up the words so much better than the black. 

As i said i  received my prize from Sawyer Place in it  was some Tyre Washi Tape, and i have had a car washi tape since they became fashion, 

I have Sugar & spice Outdoor Adventure,  60 paper pack in my stash, ( yes, i do  use other papers other than my addiction for Kaiser papers)  the cars seems to be the right paper for our adventure, that my friends & I went on over last weekend, a trip to Casino.

the motel we  got at casino  was the last 2 rooms, so we were lucky to get it and so close to everything , that we needed for the weekend , just around the corner  from scrapbooking class.   clubs, and a bit of sight seeing ,as  well set our clocks one hour ahead, but arrived over one hour early for the class ,we  were al lso o keen to start classes at  9am which did not start til 10am, so we drove around and did some sight seeing and i took some photos for hopefully more challenges  to do this week. 

until  next time  tanks for dropping in
