Tuesday Talk

Another scrapbook page to share today. This one uses the mood board from Kraft Plus.

I chose these photos as the colours and setting seemed to echo the mood board.

I stamped and die cut the flowers onto card scraps and then stamped the trailing leaves straight onto the background papers. I used some second generation inking to get the different intensity of green.

I then matted the photos on top of the patterned paper stacks, added a title and some stickers to finish it all off.

Supplies:

Stamps: Uniko, Season of Beauty

Inks: SU, real red, tangero=ine tango, old olive; Versafine Clair, nocturne

Papers: AC, kraft caerd; scraps from my stash

Alphas: Hobbycraft, chipboard

Embellishments: MAMBI, washi, chips & pocket pages; Cosmo cricket, Tiny Text; Ali Edwards, labels


This page didn't have any journalling as I made a second page to face it in my album using a grid design and plenty of journalling.  I always love grid pages as they give an opportunity to include multiple photos and are especially useful for memory keeping days out like this one.

Thanks for looking today, it's been so much fun to have your company.

And keep crafting!

Monday Moment

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page using the colour and mood board from White with One.

   

Here's my page:

Well it just had to be Halloween themed and it just had to be this photo! Her dress is adorable and that look - she's got her eye on you!

I started by inking through the Funky Fossil Crooked Webs stencil to create some background interest. Then I added the photo stack and title.

And I got a bit creative with my Halloween stamps from Clearly Besotted, some spiders and die cut drips - well it's actually a grass die cut but I turned it upside down.

Supplies:
Papers: Cocoa Vanilla, Boys Rule, Happiness; Amy Tangerine, Stay Sweet; scraps from my stash
Alphas : Hobbycraft
Stencil: Funky Fossil, Crooked Webs
Stamps: Clearly Besotted, Fright Night, Halloween Spirit
Ink: Memento, tuxedo black; Ranger distress, black soot
Embellishments: Spiders from Amazon; YHS Gumdrops enamel dots, Milk & Cookies; Washi from my stash

Thanks so much for looking today, hope you haven't found it too scary!

And keep crafting!

AAA Cards #153 - One Image + optional twist Shimmer

Today I'm sharing the card I made for the new challenge at AAA Cards. 

The sponsor for this challenge is Funky Fossil and I do have quite a few of their stamps in my stash so naturally I picked one for my card:

This particular stamp - Joy - has the advantage of being both an image and a greeting all in one stamp. Perfect! To include the optional twist of shimmer I added a little Wink of Stella all over the bauble and letters.

Supplies:
Stamps: Funky Fossil, Joy
Ink: SU, cherry cobbler
Die: MFT Die-namics, double stitched circles
Embellishments: Wink of Stella, clear

Saturday Slot

Today I'm sharing the card I made for the AAA Cards Facebook November Lottery. The theme is - Christmas Without Snow

So I needed to think about Christmas in hot countries and this is what I came up with:

The image is a digi from Bugaboo Stamps and I coloured the Santa and surfboard using Copic pens. The sunrays were added with a stencil after I masked off the digi image.

I added my own greeting on my laptop before printing the Santa image.

Supplies:
Stamps: Bugaboo, Tropical Santa Surfing
Stencil: Create a Smile, Focal Point
Inks: Ranger distress, mustard seed
Pens: Copic, C0, C1, C3, C5, B000, B00, B01, E000, E00, R20, R27, R29, R39, R59
