scrapbooking top 50 august challenge

when i saw  the butterflies on your challenge sight , i knew that kelly anns butterflies would suit perfectly
I have never  been into  butterflies until  last year, when i happened to go to class  that on the layout had butterflies,
now, i can not get enough, especially with A Mothers Art,   butterflies, from Kelly Ann Oosterbeek, who designs her own self adhesive sticker butterflies,  they are soo cute, &  now i have  seen, that i can make  one colour into another  making another colour,  orange, using marker pens, that Kelly  mentioned to  me . how cool.

i had visions of how they would go on my page, but this did not eventuate
here is what i have used to create  my layout.
I have used , the crafters workshop stencil  then with
Colour Blast  texture paste  another of my favourites in my stash,  using
singing the blues
Royality
Sunshine
Lipstick ( pink)
and  of course,  Kellys  butterflies, A Mothers Art
red
yellow,
made orange
blue
lilic

i have some   music  washi tape as well added.
all on white card stock.

hope  you like it ,
thanks.
Hope to do more of these in the coming months.
until i check out tomorrow what Septembers challenge is ,  where has the year gone

A2Z Scraplets August CHallenge

Thanks  very much A2Z just love these tic, tac, toes,  challenges, makes me think outside the box,
so this afternoon, i thought i would go with
 (1) patterned paper
 (2) a2z chipboard,  On a Adventure
(3)  stamping,

 (1)  The patterned paper i  have used,  is Kaiser's  Pack your Bags.  its a very old collection, but have plenty of, so  I have cut one out  a  sheet out and turned it over and  inked it  on to  second sheet, ( same )  in distress Vintage photo ink. I also have used a  6 x 6 inch  patterned papers to mat  under the photos.
(2) with  the word,  On a  Adventure, i have  used  Lindy magical Hydranda  Blue, which i recently bought at gympie, on our recent adventure with my best friend Natalie.

 I will have to find more of these cute  tubs,  they  have  so many uses  &  they  dont take too much room,
what i did with it was to use my water brush and dipped into the  bottle and then  started at the bottom, i wanted the effect of  light at the top and darker at the bottom,  ( i  usually dont play), so what i get on the page is what i  get, so have gone over  it a few times at the bottom , to make it look darker, and then have used  dimensional magic  to make it pop.  i just  like getting started and finishing my project within  a couple of hours,

(3) stamping ,
Here i have used several  brands,
Kaszazz  for the  2 birds,   with black staz on ink
the car,  is from Kaiser -  On the Move  stamping collection  i have coloured in with  Colour Blast texture  paste for the windscreen  and headlights -  Sunshine and the  bumper bars   with  colour  blast  - Steel,  again i have got out the  tub of  Magical Hydrangea Blue an painted the car ( my favourite colour  blue)
The Seagulls  &  word -  you never know when  your making  a  memory are  both  from Kaiser stamps both are inked in staz-on  inks

hope you enjoy my layout,

 not sure if i will complete any more challenges,
i have  in the coming weeks.
an orchid show to to help set up ( hubby grows orchids)
  sewing -  to fix my dress for a wedding ( not mine wedding  LOL)
make a wedding card,
pack  for next retreat,  im not going to retreat til  october
and a few other things,  before the end of the month.
i am sure i will have  other things  that will tie me up with other adventures im sure

until next month,  thanks for dropping by.

1 2 3 August Challenge

 hi another  month is passing us by,  thanks for  this   challenge,  i found this one really easy to do i  did it in  a matter of minutes at a recent retreat, but then had to wait to get hoe to print out the photos.

before leaving on my  retreat, i  embossed some white card stock,

I have used , Sea Breeze Kaiser papers, p 2017 refresh for a change instead of brown card stock,
at the retreat,  i cut my papers  into squares, added a brown car, and  then added the photos today,
 I have used ,Close to my Heart stamps for the  date and   the word scrapbook
the  word ,explore, i  had printed out at home, but when i looked in my goodie box, there i found  this explore, which is much nicer than mine
 i had fun wit this one, now to continue y story on the  other side of the paper  with another challenge,
until next month, where has the time gone, September  soon & i haven't even started my Xmas cards, they went  all the way to Gladstone and home again ,without even opening  the  bag
 best fins some time   soon.
cheers

sketchy boards July challenge

thanks page drafts, what a  great sketch,  
& sketchy boards  for mood board  colours

seeing as im having a destash   in my craft room, i thought i would miss some  challenges this month, and concentrate on    selling a few items, that i dont use any more,  ( and then  some challenge site will put up something i have sold, isnt it always the norm, )

anyway,  got to thinking  , that i could possibly  do one or 2  if i tried, so
 here is  sketchy boards.
now, everyone  knows, im a true Kaiser lady,    but  i have you know,  that today, i have used  Close to y Heart papers  that ive had in the  drawer for  at least 2 years,   so best  use them. otherwise they might be on the selling board

I  have used,  Ultimate crafts Magnolia Lane collection  timeless  die.
                       Kaiser  timeless  collectables.
                       Kaiser  Prairie  lane Collection  alpha stickers
                        Kaiser   bling
                        Dylusions ink spray   vibrant  turquoise  on the green  papers   to make them the right colour  & splashed some   over the page
                      i have distressed and inked around the page also  with Kaiser  ink  pad , bark

 hope you like it ,
until next month,   enjoy and have fun

July 123 challenge

 thanks  very much for this great challenge, i  usually, dont  work in pastels, but do have  papers for them 

 123 challenge 

colour       - pastels

word         - priceless

technique -       glitter

so  today, i thought i would incorporate   mixed media with  old pastels scrap papers & collectables

as  my background,  ive used the kaiser stencil, circles  &  liquid pearls,  pink,  blue, yellow and purple and mixed them with  cotton ball to give a lighter shade of  colour on all    

the  liquid pearls,  im not  that happy with, but  dont  take things back ,& it seems a shame then  not to use them, even though,  they  did not work the way i wanted the to so this was a good way to use more of  it . i do like the colours  & they look pretty on the shelf,  i now have some new liquid pearls  that are 3 d, and love them, 

so have mixed   the cotton  ball to all the colours &  painted it on  my white card stock. 

i have inked around the white cardstock with pink   ink from kaiser &  placed it on my Ballet  Kaiser card stock.

 then  out  of my scraps, i have found  kaiser lullaby papers and some   nursery papers (  that i bought at kmart years ago) 

The  butterflies and  swirls are from Kaiser 'chapter one  collectables,

i have  printed my priceless on my   cricut machine and  put glitter over it  and on one of the butterflies,

and popped up  the word  priceless, 

 one challenge done for this month,  

its amazing what one finds, when  i have a 6 month clean up ,  last month , i wanted  jigsaw puzzles, and knew i had them , today i found them , too late  for  challenge,    

well, best get back to sorting the room ,until next month, 

cheers

p..s  in the right hand corner of the layout,  you might  notice ,that  it looks a bit   blurry,  i  recently , bought a new camera  early in the year, but when i was on holidays,  the camera fell out of  my  pocket and onto the rocks below,   (   i should have listened to hubby, when he said  do you have to take the  camera everywhere ) , had i left it in the car, it would be good now, i did not tell him  that i sort of broke it and  can not  afford to get another  $400.00 camera . 

123 june challenge

 hi crafty people,
 thanks very much for this great challenge, all month, i have been thinking about this , while sorting my room ,  im thinking , i have  no real dramas, where im wearing the right colour for the challenge, i just  wont do any this month it wont hurt me to  have a break,

1  is colour  lilic
2 is  word  - Drama
3 is doodling

 well now its 9.pm  on the 30th june, and  now , i find a photo, can i do it in time   ?
possibly, if i can do a   5 minute mystery  challenge layout in the June show in Brisbane  this year,  in 5 minutes, then anything is possible,  although the  texture paste wont be dry, as  everyone has gone to bed ,and i dont want to disturb  them with my heat gun,

i have used , colour blast texture paste  royalty, such a pretty lilac  with  portacraft  self adhesive stencil and then had a bit of  scrap lilic papers from Kaisercraft,
 I have doodled around the photo mat and  around the edges with black  gel pen,

printed of  the  word drama ,

 and im done ,  30 minutes. dont want to over do it ,   now  hopefully i can remember what to do next,   been a while since ive  linked it  here goes,


until next month, will do early,

cheers

a2z may challenge

A2Z may challenge,  thanks very much for this great sketch,
Today ,  went  to my friends last workshop wonders  event, &  did some shopping , they had 4 classes  I did not do the classes today & saw some friends  but bought some stencils & Colour Blast texture paste, which i just love.
i  wanted to try them before i went away on holidays tomorrow, so  thought , i will do the a2z challenge  then  i only have one to do if i  get time when i return,

I was having so much fun with the stencils and  new Colour Blast  texture paste ,that i forgot that there was  sketch, even though it was sitting in front of  me.

so  using   the  A2Z  roses chipboard, that i won in the Easter challenge, i have done them with  Kaisers  pens,  i had started to  use the fire engine texture paste ,but with the white gesso under neath , they were turning pink and i did not want that,  so turn it over and do the other side,
other  products i have used are :-

2016 is from My 2 angels.
papers  are   Kaiser timeless
washi tape
words  are from  Bekki Higgins Project life

im not really wrapped  with the layout, as i said i was only going to use the  stencils and  the  chipboard,  may pull it apart  after i return,  but dont get me wrong, the sketch is great, its just  that my plans did not go as well as i  thought they would . ( it may grow on me the layout i mean )
until next month.
