Alicia - DD Kit - Documenting December Preparation

Alicia one of our Scrapping Fun Fans/Guest Designer sent me these photos of her DD preparation a a while ago and has given me permission to share them with you.

I love seeing all her goodies spread out in this photo.  In addition to the DD kit Alicia is using the Exclusive Christmas Kit from 2016 that prompted me starting Scrapping Fun Kits.

I love the cluster she has created on the red polka dot bag from the kit.
She has used part of one of the gold doilies, a epoxy flair and a tag from the DD kit in addition to the bag.

 I love the cute way she added the Christmas Bells from the DD kit to the felt Santa Letter envelope and added the envelope in as a insert.

Such a fun way to use the punchinella.

I love that Alicia found alternate ways to use things such as this bit from the beaded trim being used as a tab.

Such a lovely cluster using a silver doily, and a journal card from the DD kit with a flower from the Exclusive Christmas Kit from 2016. 

I love how she used part of the beaded trim to make a page marker.
And the cute shaker pocket that has the tiny resin candy canes in.

Twine helps this kraft insert pop.  Simple but effective.

Coralee ~ Spring Mood Board Challenge

Hello again Scrapbooking friends! I'm pretty excited to share my Mood Board Challenge layout with you all today. If you aren't familiar with this challenge you can read about it HERE. Make sure you enter for the chance to win a kit credit!

For this challenge I decided to do a travellers notebook layout. I was drawn to the pinks and greens, and of course the flowers! So some things from my mums stash were used while I was visting the family at the beginning of the month.

Something I have really loved while browsing Travellers Notebook layouts is having the patterned paper on one side and white on the other. Something about it is really aesthetically pleasing to me. So I went ahead and used this pretty floral paper on the left. 

I then layered some card stock behind the photo of my daughter. I tried using just 1 piece of card stock but it didn't look right. Layering also meant that I could tie in all the colours I was using even more. 

For the spotted flags and strips I used some washi on white card stock. This makes the design more opaque and easier to work with (easier to cut a triangle out, move around etc). Some scraps of the card stock, gold circle stickers and journal-ling and I was practically done! The last finishing touch was the date which I used the stamp in the basic kit for.

Once I was finished I realised there was a little mark in the top right area of the page, so popping the smile tag over it was a simple fix that also added to the page.

I hope you enjoyed my Mood Board Layout and I am looking forward to seeing your entries! 

Coralee ~ October Kit ~ Oz Comic Con

Hello Scrapbooking Friends! 

Today I have a layout using the October Kit and I'm pretty happy with out it turned out. For this layout I drew inspiration from the two photo's on the page - from my time volunteering at Oz Comic Con in 2015 where I worked in the Cosplay Central section alongside the amazing Yaya Han - a phenomenal cosplayer! 

Green and Purple are the colours that were everywhere at Oz Comic Con, (and purple happened to be the colour of my hair) so I was pretty stoked that this kit had both in - making it easy for me to tie it all together. 

 

For the letters I just used stickers that were in my stash. I happened to have some awesome glittery ones. For 'Yaya Han' I used purple and for the title of the page I used a combination of these greeny black ones and the purple for the zigzaggy flag and the mustache washi I used some washi from Kaszazz and taped it onto white cardstock (the zig zag washi I did two lines of washi and lined them up super close so it looked like it was thicker than it was). I did this so that the patters would stay just black and white and none of what was happening behind them would show through. I wanted them to be nice and solid.

The green paper with purple spotches I made really easily with some Dylusions Spray and purple Smooch.

I wanted to use the punchinella but I've never used it in a layout before so was a bit nervouse. but eventually I was pretty happy with tucking it behind some of the paper. I also trimmed some of it so it would have a nice strip affect with the washi that went down the page. 

For the other papers - the two striped papers were digital ones from pixel scrapper I got printed. The purple striped one didn't print how I expected but it still worked well. The rainbow dotted paper was from the fluro Scrapping Fun Kit!  

The tag I simply created by snipping the corners off a small piece of purple card stock, and using my cropodile over a hole I punched out! Simple. I LOVED using the purple twine through it as well.

Along the bottom I decided to also use the bat washi that came in the kit, it was cute and I felt like it really help finish off the layout. I used the zig zag ribbon and purple gradiant washi side by side behind the papers. I didn't use super long strips, just want I wanted poking out and then lined them up carefully either side of the top and bottom. The purple patterned washi you also see on the page is a part of the kit too!

Finally I finished off by scattering (well strategically scattering) the sequins from the kit. They were the PERFECT touch for this layout.

Coralee's Bloom'n Mount Coot-Tha Layout

Good Morning Scrapbooking Friends!
Today I bring you this fun and pretty easy layout featuring the time my partner and I went to Mount Coot-tha. This isn't the original layout I had made for this month but unfortunately some cheeky little child hands got to my previous one before I could photograph it!

I made most of this layout using items from this months kit.

So I started out with my 12x12 paper from the Sugar & Spice Studio Wildflower Paper Pad. This partiuclar paper worked perfectly with tying my photo's and the items from the kit together.

Next up, I fussy cut the BLOOM letters and the cute little clouds (and sun) up the top.

I used the yellow paper from the kit behind the photo and paper doily and sat everything in place. After a good amount of time staring at the page I decided it was too bland - so in came the butterfly and thread! This part was rather simple. First I stuck the top bit around the back of the page with some tape. Then I looped it a couple of times, threaded on the butterfly, looped it around the page some more then stuck the other end on the back just the same. Voila! Cute layout complete!

Coralee ~ August Kit ~ 12 x 12 Layout

Hello scrapbooking lovers! I am delighted to bring you my first Guest blog and share my creations with you. Today with the August kit I have created this gorgeous floral layout. The photo I used was from my last ever performance during my Diploma of Music. I decided to use florals as I always find them fun and I wanted to enhance the fun memory this photo brings.

To create the floral wreath and the butterflies I wanted to use one of the sheets of musical paper and base it around what I could create with this. I used the ink splatter technique (and used Dylusions Sprays instead of inkpads) to colour 1 of the musical papers and 2 plain white A5 pieces of cards stock. I also used some perfect pearls to give it all a nice sparkly sheen however this hasn't shown up in the photos.

This is what I ended up with when they were dry.

To get the lighter parts where natural gaps didn't occur I used a water dropper and dropped some water here and there. This then made the dylusions colours kind of seperate in certain areas and left a very pale pink underneath. I left these to dry overnight for good measure however I am sure they would have dried in 30-40 minutes. Another option is to use a heat gun to dry faster however if you have a lot of the product on the paper the air could move this around and change the design.

Then with these I punched out different sized flowers & some large butterflies. I punched the butterflies first as I wanted to ensure I got really nice colouring for them and used the excess paper once I had punched the amount of butterflies I wanted - for the flowers. 

Once I had these all punched out I started arranging the flowers into a circle onto a piece of paper that I thought worked well with my colour scheme - Kaszazz SB Paper Love Notes. I kept re-arranging these until I was happy with where they all were and then began to adhere them.

Next I placed the butterflies, adhering them and then I embellished with the rhinestone bling from the kit. Black for the middle of the butterflies and clear for the centre of the flowers.

I cropped my photo of any background that wasn't useful and made a white photomat to add some lightness to it since the photo was so dark and used the sparkly Music die cut exclusive to Design Team members and voila - fun layout complete!
