RESIST STAMPING

I thought Anne and Jayne would like to see this video on Resist Stamping. You might like to try this on your scrapbooking pages.

SHE GLOWS

THIS IS A PAGE TO ADD TO MY DAUGHTER IN LAW'S WEDDING PAGES.
THE PAPER I USED IS ONCE AGAIN BO BUNNY, NOT SURE OF THE NAME OF THIS PAPER, BUT I LOVED THE BLUE TONES AND THOUGHT IT WOULD MAKE A GREAT SCRPBOOKING PAGE. I PUNCHED ALL AROUND THE PAPER WITH A MARTHA STEWART ROUND THE PAGE PUNCH. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THESE PUNCHES AND THE DEEP EDGE PUNCHES ARE WONDERFUL.THE LACEY PIECE AT THE TOP AND BOTTOM IS A CHERRY LYNN DIE VERY DAINTY. THE PAPER BEHIND THE PHOTO WAS PUNCHED WITH A MARTHA STEWART DEEP EDGE PUNCH. I DID A BIT OF SATAMPING IN BROWN COLOR BOX CHALK INK. THE CHANDELIER AT THE TOP WAS PAINTED WITH A PALE BLUE SHIMMERY PAINT. THE PALE BLUE FLOWERS ARE BY PRIMA AND THE SILVER EMBELLISHMENT I PINCHED OFF ANOTHER PROJECT I HAD DONE THAT I WASN'T TOO KEEN ON. ADDED SOME BLUE JEWELS AND A COUPLE OF HANDMADE BUTTERFLIES AND THE PAGE WAS FINISHED. I MISS DOING THESE PAGES, BUT HAVE TO FINISH OFF THE BOYS ALBUMS, THEY HAVE BEEN A WORK IN PROGRESS FOR 13 YEARS. 

PALM COVE

This photo was taken on the Jetty at Palm Cover of my daughter in law and her Bridesmaids. The paper I used is Bo Bunny's "Country Garden" selection. These papers are great and such beautiful colours. I distressed the edges, and then coloured them with Tim Holtz "Vintage Photo" Distress Ink. I cut out the sign with Tim Holtz Big Shotz Die. I then painted it with Maya Road Yellow Mustard, which has a shimmer in the paint. I then found the flowers on a project I had done, but did not particularly like it. The flowers were pink, so I also sprayed them with Maya Road Yellow Mustard Paint. I found some Pearls in mum's stash and and gold fan embellishment, added a few green jewels and the page was finished. I really enjoyed doing this page and it was simple and turned out quiet a nice page. Hope you all enjoy it.

Until next time Kerry

You Look Lovely Today

I really enjoyed scrapping this page. Firstly I decided to add brown into the pink colour, I didn't know if it would be the right colour for the photo but it turned out great. The paper is from Glitz Design " Pretty In Pink". I white washed a brick wall on the paper, then cut out one the hearts from my Sweethearts Cricut Cartridge at 8 1/2". The little pink flowers are Prima, they are so cute and were just the right colour to match the paper. The dressmakers dummy is from Kaisercraft wood embellishments. Added some pearls, a transparency, a couple of small antique doilies from my stash and added linda's name and a few pearls and the page was done. This is one of my favourite pages. I hope you enjoy it.

The string of pears was a bit fiddly to attach. I glued it in just a few places with  glossy accents.

LIFE IS GOOD

I  thought I would have a change from the girlie photos and do a male layout. I had some Graphic 45 Old Curiosity Shoppe paper, stickers and cardboard cutouts, so I went to work scrapping this page. This is a photo taken after my son's wedding, sitting in the back of The Hummer getting ready to be driven to the reception. He seemed very pleased with himself, by the look on his face. I painted some chipboard alphabets with Maya Mist "Popsicle Blue" which was the perfect colour to match the paper.

The cardboard cutouts and stickers which come with this paper are so great. I have noticed that most of the paper which is being designed and in the shops recently, have a whole set of embellishments to create a page, I think this is a great idea. You can do a whole theme with very little wastage. Hope you enjoy this fun page.
