Scrapping Outback - October challenge

October...October...October...

What will you bring this month,

Well, a fabulous image for inspiration over at

SCRAPPING OUTBACK

this -

and WHITE cardstock...

and CHIPBOARD..,

...this is what I created especially for the challenge this month!!



Can you believe that I started with a sheet of LEMONCRAFT "Neverending Summer' range - the Lazy Evening sheet and I stamped with the Stampers Anonymous 'branch' around the edges in black (purchased from Scrapify - super cool store in Gympie)
I had a leftover chipboard frame from Dusty Attic which I covered in Gesso and sprayed with a rainbow of sprays from Prima, Kaisercraft, Lindy's Stamp gang etc and then adhered assorted bits and pieces in the rainbow colours around the frame.

Photo is our niece Christine with her gorgeous girl Shakaela... how fabulous is her shirt - perfect!!

The Scrapbook Store - October challenge

My beautiful friend Cathy shared the link on her FB the other day so...

here is my entry for the 

October challenge 

with this sketch

Such a pretty design
so,
this is my entry...



I started with a sheet of Marion Smith Designs "Garment District" - 'He Said' and ' Picture Perfect' - the second has the images I have fussy cut!
When I saw the circle in the sketch I knew I had this delicate Scrapmatt's design "Layered Frame" so I set about giving it a little colour! It comes as two pieces (you could even use each separately!) - the base was heat embossed with Tinby Metallic Melkts (pink and gold) and the top a shabby layer of gesso... which I painted onto the base paper! This was then sprinkled with Stampendous Sprinkles and heated till set!
To finish embellishing there is a Manor House Creations flower, Prima (Something Blue range) My2Angels Gardenias, 5 point star flower stems & variegated leaves, A couple of leftover Miss Rose & Sister Violet blooms, and some filler bits from my little box!!

Photo is of our 4 Bridesmaids... love them all xx

Kraft plus - October challenge

I missed the Triangular challenge last month but this month I couldn't say no!!

"Inspired by Nature"

Okay, I've been a little tricky with my 'feather' and 'other natural item'...

The skeleton leaf reminds me of a Feather, and it is originally a real leaf!

I purchased a packet of these Kraft 12x12 die cut pages, this one adhered onto Black - the bottom half has been sprayed with various shades of green inc Kaisercraft 'Lime', Lindy's Stamp Gang, Heidi Swapp and Colour Bloom too! Before it had a chance to dry (I know, patience is a virtue!) I smeared some Gel Medium and sprinkled the sequins.

The cute photo of our son Tim (Preschool pic,) has been mounted on a piece of Maja Designs (difficult to see but it has leaves all over it) - can you see the 3 jewelled beetles, they were snipped off a necklace... bought especially to do that!! Title is a raw Kaisercraft wood flourish - there is a little florists wire and Prima wire which are bent to look a little grassy?

Tim loved insects from a young age and would spend hours in the yard searching for them - I remember one day finding a 2l ice cream container and the entire base was filled with the most amazing coloured jewel beetles!!

 "A Magical Time" Layout

These two boys are super cute! They are the sons of Toni who owns one of my local Scrapbook Stores - they came to help pack up after one of my Events... the reward was a short ride in the back of the trailer!!

Just for FUN... with Natalie

Just for FUN...

not DT creations...

not a Challenge...

...just a fun page for my great niece, Natalie!

I had this much Maja Designs paper left over from a challenge (If you know me, I do NOT keep any scraps... box them and donate them monthly!) but this one has such a delicate texture so, I added the Red Cardstock to make it 12x12" - put some Shimmerz 'Texturez' in "Marooned over Miami" over a Prima Lace Stencil and the excess 'here and there' - the shimmer is so pretty!

There is also Cocoa Vanilla Studios ;Sticker sheet' elements... the Chevron strip, the banner pieces, the stars, camera, #1 square & arrows too - it's a BOY range... but versatile!!

I found the scrolled wood in my Kaisercraft stash.... the My2angels 'glass Lady Bug' pin.... and the handmade 'Heart' embellishment from Charms Creations (it's even spotty like a lady beetle!) - some small spots of black Kindyglitz in a circle make an easy flower! 

I met two of my Nieces last week for a coffee... and to pick up some photos too!!

This sweet photo of our great niece was taken on her Birthday - Frozen theme!

She is super cute!!

White with one - October - Peach Puff

October's colour is 

PEACH PUFF

Such a delicate shade of apricot...

I started with white cardstock and sprayed Heidi Swapp's 'Coral' vertically onto a Donna Downey stencil - layered some scraps of Blue Fern studios 'Ombre Dreams' around the frame.

The Resin Rainbow sent a selection of 'Peach Puff' Resin pieces - Janet can send you a mystery colour (whatever WW1 is having that month) for only $5 includes postage... baragin!! ...and so easy to have embellishments in the perfect colour!!

This link will take you to the Facebook page where you can contact Janet for more info - 

The Resin Rainbow

Little bit of Builders mesh, a paper doily or two, some beautiful Imaginarium Designs chipboard!

I've then added a few flowers, 

AND, this is the layout for the challenge this month

Photo is our beautiful Niece Christine with her daughter Sienna.... was taken months ago but is the perfect shade of PEACH PUFF!!

Kaisercraft - Ma Cherie Cards - Thursday 15th October

Today on the Kaisercraft blog, we are sharing 

CARDS

created with the

Ma Cherie Collection

and

the STAMP SET

and matching

Butterfly Die set

...I love to make cards....

'Smile' card 

Triple layer cards are always fun to stamp! Two layer or 'off centre' layers also look great - just need to cut the matting correctly. This matting is 0.5 cm but smaller is delicate and still effective! I've stamped on the Patterned Paper but it looks lovely to stamp on white and use Patterned paper as the matting - experiment?

Kaisercraft Products : CS241 Clear Stamp | DD544 '3 Butterflies' Die | P1961 Glamour | P 1958 Fancy | CD512 Kraft C6 card pack | CD602 Ivory | 

Other : Ink

'Sweet Together' Card 

Simple use of the negative die cut, and include the die cut - just use double sided paper! This style also looks nice with a Flower die too!

Kaisercraft Products : CS241 Clear Stamp | DD544 '3 Butterflies' Die | P1961 Glamour | P 1958 Fancy | CD512 Kraft C6 card pack | CD602 Ivory | KM101 'Charcoal' Mist |

Other : Ink & Pen.

This completes a little trio of Ma Cherie cards.

The stamp set includes 3 beautifully designed Butterflies, the lovely sentiment and the most fabulous Rose - a really great set!!
