The Color Room & My Creative Scrapbook

Hi There!

This month My Creative Scrapbook are sponsoring The Color Room.

The DT at My Creative Scrapbook had the opportunity to Guest Design for The Color Room with this palette


& this is what I came up with 


This is Evie with her little buddy Chaz (my good friend Nelle's Son) Evie & Chaz look so spookily similar! They both have blonde hair, big blue eyes & are both cheeky little monkies!

I have used the January Limited Edition Kit from My Creative Scrapbook & the Precious Memories chipboard title is from Imaginarium Designs


To alter the chippie I first painted with gesso then inked with versa colour sky blue. I then painted some Shimmerz in sky blue over the top


I used a Prima lattice mask with some Impasto to create the background then sprayed some Mr Hueys Mist in Cameo

Thanks for looking!
Cheers

The Color Room & Bird Is The Word

Hi There!

Well palette #130 over at The Color Room was just too pretty to ignore this week! The palette is a gorgoeus whitwashed pink theme. I have so much pink in my stash it was such an easy page to put together! I also combined this with the Bird is the Word challenge which is 'touch'. I put this in my title 'As sweet as sugar with a touch of spice'
This pretty much sums up my little Evie Jools! She is so gorgeous & funny & her smile & big blue eyes melt your heart but she definately has that touch of 'spice' to her personality! She is such a little bully to her Big Brother & Sister & she is so strong willed!

All of the papers were oldies from my stash (some were so old that they were the first collections I had ever purchased!)
It is mostly a mix of Kaisercraft of 4 different collections & Glitz Design from 2 different collections

The large pink flower & the small white roses are Green Tara. I love these flowers they are so pretty & go with everything
The other flowers are new Prima
A bit of a close up of the punchwork & Prima Junkyard finding zipper

I have used the new Prima flourish mask with some texture paste for a bit of dimension. The alphas are a mix of Prima & Websters Pages

I also used the new Prima Donna Downet polka dot mask with some texture paste

Here is the Color Room palette


Thanks for looking!

The Color Room & Scrap The Boys

Hi There!

I have combined a couple of challenges for this project. I was inspired by the grungy feel of these 2 challenges at The Color Room & Scrap The Boys




So I have used the colour palette from The Color Room along with using the chevron pattern & have used the Scrap the Boys base & this is what I came up with

I have used a mix of papers again with some VERY OLD Stampin Up as the stripy background, Kraft bubble dot cardstock, MME Follow your Heart & Crate Paper Toy Box

To grunge up the page I used my Crafters Workshop Chevron mask & some black ink, dry brushed some gesso, sprayed some Tattered Angels Torquise mist & splatted some Tattered Angels Candy Apple mist. I also used a Kaisercraft stamp in the bottom left & top right corner


This chippie is from Scrap FX

The Chipboard sticker plane is Crate Paper Toy Box. The Kites are chippies from 2 Crafty which I covered with PP & twine. The Mini alphas are from Simple Stories Summer Fresh

More Crate Paper Toy Box chipboard stickers. The pic is of Hunter (in the green) with his buddy Jack. Jack is my good friend Nelle's Son. We met them at Mum's group 7 years ago. The boys bdays are 5 days apart

On Tuesday I travelled to Melbourne to attend a Prima class held by Janine Koczwara! I am a HUGE fan of Janine's work & was super excited to go. The page Janine taught was extremely beautiful & Janine herself is just gorgeous! She is so nice & it was great to meet her after stalking her blog for a while now LOL!


Me & Janine after the class
My take on  Janine's page. How dreamy is this page! I luv the details & layers Janine uses. You should feel how heavy the page is with all the embellies!! I was in Prima heaven!!

If you joined in the recent Blog Hop at My Creative Scrapbook some winners have been announced here! I hope you were one of the lucky ones!

Thanks for looking!

The Color Room & Websters Pages

Hi There!
Spring is here in Australia & that makes me so happy!! The sun has been shining for the whole weekend & we still have beautiful weather forcast for the next couple of days!! Sunshine always puts me in a better mood & makes me smile!

I have had a play at a few more challenges. I know I am a bit if a challenge addict! Challenges are such a great starting point for me whether it is a sketch, colour or product challenge I just find it so much easier to get started!

This page was created for The Color Room palette #126
 
I luv this photo of my Dad & Evie. It was taken at my Brother's wedding in March this year. I added some Kraft paper to the palette & went with more of a vintage combination of the colours. I have used Prima Fairy Belle papers
I luv this Prima wooden clock & Prima butterfly. The flowers are a mix of Prima & Green Tara

This next page is for the Websters Pages trendy challenge. I chose to use chevron & ombre.
This is Kayla & Hunter sitting in the ferris wheel at The Beachouse in Glenelg SA. I have used Websters Pages Girl Land & Prima flowers
This chippie is from 2 Crafty. It was a longer title that I chopped up. I like using Ombre on chipboard at the moment. It just seems to add a bit more depth to it!


It's the start of the month so that means a whole lotta new challenges!! I'm sure I will be back soon LOL!

Thanks for looking!

Hi There!

Over the weekend I was insired by a couple of gorgeous colour palettes. The first one I played with was over at The Color Room



I have actually shock horror used some scraps & left overs from my stash to create this page! Something I need to make more of a habit LOL!
The background paper is Stampin Up, the PP raspberry pink paper is Kaisercraft & the other paper is Websters Pages. I have also added a few fussy cur images from Graphic 45!

I luv this Prima Allegra flower. It has been in my stash awhile. Glad I hoarded it as it goes so well with this page!
This is a pic of my Evie Jools from January while we were holidaying at our van in Marlo.

I also played with the August Prima PPP. The colours are so pretty & remind me of rainbow icecream!
2012AUGUSTppp
