There's A Little Red Wagon, Paint It Blue

I took this photo back in July or August last year
I knew what story I wanted to tell
That part was easy
It was pulling the story together on a page that was the stumbling block
But that changed when I received a packet of Scrapmatts Words

as soon as I saw the Run, Jump and Play I knew that I had to use them and create the page to go with this photo

I had even purchased, months ago, and saved this die cut from Collage Press

added some hexagons (using the Pink Paislee packaging again)
and topped them with 2 Basic Grey fabric brads

added some stitching and left the threads

Love it when another story is down on paper
Means there is more room in my head
More room for more stories lol

The Future Is Always In Thee

Do you start a page
then put it away because it just isn’t working how you want need it to?
I have one on the go at the moment
It’s one I really like
one I want to breathe life into
But it’s just not heading in the right direction
So for now it sits and waits for the right moment.
Enter this page

I started it months ago
Then put it away
Till some Scrapmatts Words revived the inspiration
I added a flower (from Polly Scrap) and a Kaiser black pearl

A sticker from Crate and a date with my Dymo

and a gorgeous chevron badge from Greatest View to end off my journaling
about my best friends son and how I am grateful for meeting him

The Beat Of The Drum Is Loud And Bold

I love to create pages that are textural but are still flat

I had a little time at my craft table this afternoon
and completed this page

I used the Pink Paislee chipboard leftover, as a mask, and some texture paste
to add some dimension and texture

and then added some brads

some foam thickers

and some more brads

Yep, I love to create pages that are textural but are still flat

In Good Times And Bad Times

and finally my last page
using the March kits from Cocoa Daisy

my new favourite layout
Elizabeth and her best friend from school
used the arrow stamp and the chevron paper

I used the Pink Paislee chipboard packaging as a mask
backed the photo with one of the Smash pockets

and used my dymo for the journaling

love this page, for lots of reasons

Darling, This Place Is Lovely Oasis

Same kit
Different colour combination

I used the packaging from the Pink Paislee chipboard (from the Pier 39 kit)
And sprayed the green cardstock with some green glimmer mist

I peeled off the FUN from the chipboard added it to a toothpick and made a flag

Used the packaging from the Smash pockets (found in the Boardwalk addon)
and cut off a strip of roses from the embellishment kit

Topped a butterfly sticker with a button

used my dymo 
made a spelling mistake in the title

and the story, to go with the really badly lit photo

Was such an awesome exhibit and worth a visit
Back later with another colour combo from the same kit

As The Years Go By And We Grow Old And Grey

Today was the international gallery reveal at Cocoa Daisy
I love all the bits and pieces that came with the March kits
Have story to go with each of my layouts so I thought I would give each page it’s own blog post
So the first page

When I purchased my Silhouette Cameo I knew that the first thing I wanted to cut was a big ‘&’
so for this page I did just that

I had scanned the photo booth photo
and then altered it so the photo strips went across the page rather than up and down

Love the camera brad from Fisherman’s Wharf add on

and the story that adds life to the photos

Love the red + brown combo
Back later with my next layout with a completely different colour combination
