My little engineer

I saw a sketch on the Friday Night Challenge from Scrapbooking Outlet last month and really liked it.  However, I never quite got around to doing it before the challenge finished!  But I liked it so much I did it anyway and finished it in just one night (very quick for me!).

My son is into making wonderful wooden creations at kindy and I wanted to showcase some of his favourite ones on a layout. 

Supplies - Kaisercraft paper, screw brads, eyelets, staples, ric-rac, 3D foam, Weave extras teeny tiny letter stickers, Basic Grey letters

Hmmm, Cadburys...

Whenever I see the deepest purple I think of Cadburys.  So when I was scrapping some pics of my sons first Easter, I was inspired by his Easter stash. 

I found that although I have alot of purple embellishments getting the right Cadbury's purple was quite difficult.  On a hunt for Cadbury purple I found ribbon, a pipe-cleaner, embossing powder Opals 'Lily Pilly' and metallic paint. I also decided to use the Cadburys foil from a king sized block (which just happened to be in my pantry).

The cool technique I used on this layout involved my retro Dymo labeller.  I typed in my journalling and then wrapped foil around each strip.  By rubbing over the top, the embossed words show up quite well.  I wiped a bit of metallic paint over the top to make it stand out a bit better (The photo doesn't do it justice).  It's readable but wouldn't be great for lots of journalling.

The sketch I used was from the SBO Friday Night Challenge

Journalling on aluminium foil covered Dymo labels

The journalling reads "Mum stole all the chocolate.  I got to keep the bunny."  Lachie was only 8 months old so I thought it was only good parenting to prevent him from over-indulging.  My motives were pure...

Feeling the Magic

I've been having more fun with the new Core'dinations Black Magic collection and have been trying alot of different techniques as seen on the Core'dinations website.  For this layout I tried Tearing, Embossing, Debossing and Labelling with the red/black cardstock.  Very cool.

I had already chosen a 'vintage' look with my photos and by teaming it up with Bo Bunny paper and Core'dinations, I think the layout has a grungy/shabby chic feel about it.  It's a very different layout style for me and I absolutley love it!

I did this layout for the Scrapbook Outlet Friday Night Challenge - love their weekly challenges.

Friday Night Sketch

This is my latest layout created for the Friday Night sketch for Scrapbooking Outlet.  Have been wanting to scrap these pics for some time ever since I found these cute whale buttons.  Just needed to be inspired and the sketch was perfect.
