Green and Purple
who’d have thought
But I think it works
as does texture paste and stencils
And yes you read right
Not purple is the title for this green layout
why?
Here’s why…
So now everywhere we go we have to stop and look at something green she has spied
True fact!
Today was the day for my Dissecting Design post at Cocoa Daisy
You can read all about it here
Have to say I just love these jars
and this one is particularly yummy
Oh and a spot of journaling
Because… Well, that’s what I do
Another Chevron page
This time I tried something different
using the “negative” image of the Crafters Workshop stencil
and some punchanella
I have a page with the “positive” ready to use on another page
It didn’t turn out how I wanted it to
But I was happy to play
used a Scrapmatts Penny Farthing
a Bottle Cap from D-Lish Scraps
washi tape (how I love thee!)
and it’s been a while but my journaling is on a shipping tag
I like revisiting old favourites and adding some new ones
I wanted to make this page a few weeks ago
When the journaling would have flowed without a problem
But life got busy and I didn’t get to make the page in one go
it took a few days to finally complete this page
So the journaling was a little trickier because I wasn’t “in the moment” any more
Do you find yourself in a similar situation?
Or
Do you write the journaling and then make the page?
I’m still loving the Crafter’s Workshop chevron stencil
Here I used green paint and blue Glimmer Mist
I added some Scrapmatts Leaves
I covered them with some 7Gypsies rubons and ran some green paint around the edges
I also used some My Minds Eye packaging
Love Love this photo
and the journaling, which has not much at all to do with the photo but it all fits
Happy Days!
Just a quick post
with a quick layout
with some quick cuts on a piece of Jillibean Soup paper
and some quick distressing to some photo corners
and another quick story is down on paper
The lovely Paula was one of the people to stop by, and leave a comment, during the Cocoa Daisy blog hop
I returned the love and had left a comment on her blog
and she had mentioned that maybe I could try her challenge
So I did.
I made this page (excuse the raindrops that fell on the page while I took the photo)
I used bits and pieces from the March Cocoa Daisy kit with a mix of things I already had
cut up some My Minds Eye stickers
and cut up my dymo tape
Can you see the journaling??
If you can’t it says:
”Megan loved Sydney because there seemed to be an ice cream shop on every corner!
She was all excited when we found the first one but by the last day she was very over it all and couldn’t look at them.
Oh and we won’t mention the three ice creams that she ate in one day!”
Thanks Paula for the inspiration to create!
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
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
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
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
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
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
