Family

Hi Everyone,

Sometime ago I completed two Family History Albums, and one of the photos I loved the most was one of my Grandmother and her Brother. Today I am featuring a Vintage Style Layout incorporating this photo. All paper flower are handmade, using a die. I had sat there for hours one day making these flowers and left them in my scrap room to dry. Sometime in the early hours of the morning I woke up and thought I didn't cover the flowers up, oh the cats won't touch them. When I went into my room in the morning three flowers were gone, I have a sneaking suspicion who the culprit was, and I am sure she ate three flowers. This was a lesson learnt always cover my scrap table up before going to bed.

All products used in this layout are from the Kaszazz Range of Products.
I hope you enjoy looking at my page.

Mixed Media Video Tutorial - Together by Gabriele Pollacco

Hi Everyone,

Today I thought I would post a video on a scrapbooking mixed media page - Together by Gabriele Pollacco. For the adventurous ladies out there this page is lovely. Thought some of you talented ladies might like to give it a try. Also I am posting Gabriele's recipe for her homemade Texture Paste which I have made and tried and is sooo good and economical. It sets with a lovely finish. It is very good on writing stensils comes out lovely.

 HOMEMADE TEXTURE PASTE BY  GABRIELE POLLACCO

1/4 cup Talcum Powder
(Used Johnson's Baby Powder to make it smell good too)
1 tablespoon White All purpose School Glue
1 tablespoon White Craft Paint
Some Water
Instructions:  Combine talcum powder, glue, white paint with disposable chopsticks (or plastic spoon) in an airtight container, adding water to get it to the consistency you are looking for.  You want a nice thick texture much like toothpaste.  The mixture will keep perfectly for many months

This is my interpretation of this months Scrap The Girls May Challenge. I really loved the sketch. The papers used in this layout are from Blue Fern Studios - Montage Collection.

Two Hearts

One of my favourite Scrapbook Page Designers is Gabrielle Pollacco. Her work truly inspires me and makes me really think about the designs for my pages I scrap. When I saw this page designed by Gabrielle I just wanted to do it. She has a tutorial for this page for anyone to do, so I gathered up some paper and goodies and here goes. I set up my tablet in front of me on the table so I could follow the tutorial and off I went, do not have the same paper and embellishments as Gabrielle designed her page with, but I think it has turned out pretty good, and yes I am using up some of the last pieces of paper from the Bo Bunny Madeleine collection. I will be very sad when these papers are gone but onto my newer ones. I can honestly say these papers are my very all time favourite. My husband Peter came in to see what I was doing yesterday afternoon and his words were "Wow I really like this one" a stamp of approval I think. I purchased Gabrielle's Tutorial from The Scrapbook Diaries.
Thank you Gabrielle for a beautiful design.
