scrapbooking top 50 Australia May challenge

National Scrapbooking top 50  Australia  challenge,
Another new challenge to try, a change is as good as a holiday, they say, so changing my challenges , give me new directions, that i may have not tackled before,

this month for May is a tic tac toe,  my eyes usually fall for  the blues always before any other  colour,  i was going though some old photos from expo days and here i am in grey, a colour i rarely use these days.  i could have gone for the blues,  but the flowers in the background     just happened to be  orange and yellow,   so created a new direction for me to follow.

I have  many kits,  that i bought when i worked, i will do them , once i  finish work, but  6 years later , they are still  there, so i went though them and  i found some papers that had the right colour scheme,
I have used Basic grey  papers second city  roscoe village , sec  4703
                                                  second  city southport           sec 4706.
i have used grey butterflies  washi tape, another   product in my stash, i dont even remember buying that ,so  must have been a present.
I have used yellow   rose resins and other flowers from my  abundance of flowers.
I have inked in distressed in spiced marmalade
Chipboard letters are  coloured in with Kaiser-fusion grey   with glossy accents over  the top

 hope  you enjoy this ,as much as i  created it ,
until next time , have a good day.

National Scrapbook top 50 challenge day

Thanks  National Scrapbook    day for this bright   interesting challenge.
i was going to wait til Wednesday,  to complete this , but thought,  i may be worse than i feel now &   doing these bright colours just might be the key to feeling better.
I may be scrapped deprived. LOl
I recently received  for my birthday Sweet Summertime 5th Anniversary Limited Edition by Crystal Wilkerson paper  pack, i loved the bright colours &  thought, i wonder if i will get a challenge to work with them ,

I've also used butterflies  from  Kelly-Ann Oosterbeeks from a Mothers Art ,  just love these little fellows

So here is my version, i had other thoughts when i started , but  then  it sometimes turns out a whole lot different than when one starts, i will have to see if i can get more of these papers at the next craft show coming up in June to work  with more papers.

tonight  as soon as i saw those lovely rich colours, i knew the papers i  would  use,  finding a photo to suit ight be the challenge,  but  i just opted for  our caravan ,when we  went away in February, so now can continue on  with these papers and photos  for our holiday


i will have a look at your tic tac toe  challenge, it looks interesting. something different to try

White with 1 April Challenge

another month almost over

White with one April Challenge -  this months colour is Jester Red.

Thanks very much for this great colour, i  love things bright, so this  one i found easy,  finding the time  though  was not so,  i had a different idea  totally when i saw the colour at the beginning of the month &   painted  some  paper with brick stencil,  but last night,  i felt ,bricks  on these to lovely ladies at a wedding did not seem  to go  well,  so out came stencils again ,

What haven't i used yet , that   i need to play with,  this stencil, did not come with brand name, but was still in the packet, so can not say who its from  I  did however but it at TJs Scrapping with Style in Logan .
ive also had heart templates from Fiskers, for about a year,  and ideas started to flow, once i placed them down on  the white card stock

 I have cut out the heart, after drying, with   the colour paste  this great  Colour Blast - colour paste  can be bought from  Tenisha  at Scrap Elegance at Stockleigh, qld.

i have used  : -  Colour Blast Colour Paste  fire engine red
   Red Self Adhesive stickers from  A Mother's Art, by  Kelly - Ann Oosterbeek.
                            just love these, they come in 10 colours, see her site

 until next month , thanks very much , great challenge.

A2Z Scraplets April Challenge

A2Z Scraplets April Challenge

Thanks   very much for this great challenge, i just started this one today, when  the mail arrived,
Thank you very much for my prize, i love it , in a few weeks time im going on an adventure,  for my family reunion up in hervey bay, so  will be able to use it then or in  another  months challenge, i also  love the chipboard with the roses,  they are just beautiful & can not wait to start painting it .
getting on to a layout.,

                      this afternoon, i decided that i would start some  layout, as i dont have many days at home this month, like 5 days,
so, with my white card stock, and my new Kaiser Bubble stencil, that i bought today, i have used , Dew Drop Brilliance  Sky Blue, Versa Colours  - Cyan &  Vera Colour Indigo Inks to rub over  sections of the stencil on to the page.
ive added  some Kaiser  droplets and sparklets and glossy accents over different parts of the  page

Technique on chipboard.
for my chipboard,  from A2Z scraplets,  my last  one i thought, til mail came, i have   first inked with  Dew Drop  Brilliance Cloud White,  and then over the top, i have added another size smaller bubble  stencil  &   I have used ,  Colour Blast-  Singing in the  Blues Colour Paste, then that was dry, it looked a  bit pale, so have then gone over it again with Colour Blast - Colour Paste Deep Water  with the big bubbles like on the page, i have then put glossy accents over the lot of  the dolphin &  the word Seaworld

I usually dont do fussy cutting,  but saw in my stash some dolphins on a paper,  it took me a while,  with  cutting off tails and fins and noses, cut  in the process,  to get the 5 dolphins   but its done, in future, just use the whole sheet i  think
.
I have also used ,some Kaiser  Sandy Toes  Collectibles on the layout

well,  on to start my next layout before tea. i have a sketch and colour palette ,

 looking forward   to  next month , keep up the good work,
thanks for stopping by,
Jacqui

Kraft Plus April Challenge

  Thanks Kraft plus for  great black and white challenge.

another month has started,  i only have 6 free days to get my challenges done this month,  so thought i would start off with Kraft plus,  some may miss out , but thats life, family come first.

 sometimes i think , im going to do a messy one this month, as others look great,  but somehow, when i get started, i dont like what i see, this happened today,  as soon as i  put the splatters on , then every thing went  a w o l,  Lol

anyway, turn paper over and start again,
I have stamped around the edge with Kaiser Me stamps, just love these  little x x x x  
i then proceeded to start with the gesso again,   ( which i had on the other side,)  but i thought, seeing as my dress only had small dots, i did not like the big dots that i had, what to use,  ? ? ?

 so putting away my  foam dots, i saw the perfect  solution, so i peeled  off  one side and presto,  small dots.  so have put  black and white gesso over the page.
  I have had these  creative memories black and white flowers for a while, now, and this year , is about getting to use all my  stash, thats been sitting for a while, and placed a black  bling at the top,
I have used  washi tape, another  thing just sitting in the cupboard,
the rock and roll party are  from the Craft  stall Blackboard stickers,   very appropriate for  my page
i have also added , black bling swirls,

 i had fun creating this layout,  hope you love it as much as me, until next month,

A2Z Scraplets Easter Challenge

 I had  the  A2Z chipboard  out, thinking of doing another  A2z Challenge,  but up to coming on net again to check out  the  colours again, i noticed, that you had a sketch up, looked easy, will give that a go,
i have used white card stock and have inked around with Dew Drop Brilliance Mediterranean blue.
I haven't measured  the  photos , just cut where i wanted to

 I have used ,Kaiser Sandy Toes, paper and  have  used the Kaiser trimmer with the  Wave  edger . I have also inked this

The View and The are from Paradiso Kaiser Papers
The chipboard is from A2Z Scraplets.
here i have inked it and then ran it though  my ebosser with Coulture Creations party time  embossing folder,  it has circles on , so can do for water feature as well
i have then put glossy accents over the lot when dry.
 had fun, another one done for march.
 the longest part was waiting for the glossy accents to dry.
i dont usually do  Easter challenges , but what  the heck,  anything different is as good as a holiday,  to get the adrillian rushing
hope you like it , until next time
have a wonderful Easter.
