Shabby and clean

So…. Got some more stuff to share from the weekend! First a LO that I’m submitting to this month’s challenge over at Let’s Get Shabby. This month the challenge is to make your own embellishment. Mine is quite obvious – the fan!

This LO is on it’s way down to Invercargill as we speak. Because this beautiful girl is not mine. Mrs Frizz had the choice to get a photo scrapped by me as a part of her RAK if she wanted to, and she sent me this gorgeous photo!

Products used: Prima pp, flower, leaves and bling, have used a Martha Stewart punch, some misc feathers & pins, and another one of my MIL’s old satin curtains. The alphas are Karisercraft chipboard that have been painted, glimmermisted & then I’ve sprinkled some lovely diamond dust on them! I hope you like it Mrs F!

The next LO is for the latest sketch over at the Swe Scrapbook blog. Not at all shabby as you can see!!!

Products used: Bazill white cs, BG Eskimo Kisses pp, & alphas, BG doilie pp, Pink Paislee & Jenni Bowlin alphas, Prima flower & leaves. Butterflies are done with the Martha Stewart butterfly punch. The title says “Summer is here”.

So. Two totally different LO’s today. And I might be back tomorrow again, with some more STUFF!! Oh – and lookie here…

First share

After a WHOLE weekend of scrapping, I came home with 14 LO’s! Am very happy about that! Most of them are some sort of DT work, and I can’t show them today, but I have a couple that I can share with you!

This first LO is for the challenge over at Zest blog:

The papers, brad & sticker borders are all Pink Paislee, I’ve used an old book page as well. I have inked with Distress ink, & glimmermisted over some Tim Holtz masks. Rub ons are BoBunny, alphas are Prima & then there are misc buttons, some sewing & a chain on there as well. Does anyone know how old that photo of me might be???

Then, this LO is for the new weekly challenge over at the Sketchbook. The challenge is to scrap the “not so perfect photos”. I’m sure we ALL have them!

Have used the BG Eskimo Kisses papers & alphas, Prima flowers, BG brads & Webster’s alphas.

The last LO I can share is the one I did for the challenge pack we got over the weekend. It’s all BoBunny paper & Prima pearls, flowers & I also added some Prima alphas.

Thanks for stopping by, will be back VERY SOON with more stuff to share! Promise!!

Blue

I love the colour blue. It has always been my favourite colour! That’s why I just had to do something for the colour challenge that is posted on the Swe Scrapbook blog today!

 

And this is what I did; a little book about me for my daughters…

 

 

 

 

 

 

Products used: MME paper, Prima flowers, leaves, bling, stamp & pebbles, Zva Creative flower, punchinella, misc pins, ribbons & tags, pom pom ribbon from Fancy Pants, alphas from AC, Pink Paislee & Jenni Bowlin – all bound together with my pink little BIA. The album itself is from Magistical Memories!

 

Now go visit the blog to see some more fabulous blue creations!

 

Before I go, just wanted to do a little toot – check this out!

I’m amazed

Someone told me that I have a LO featured here. It’s just so cool, especially since I’ve never heard of this place. What an honour!!

And then, sharing time. I’ve set a new shabby chic challenge over at Scrappin’ Patch. Create a NON SQUARE LO with at least one piece of chipboard. Ths DT ladies have created some stunning work as always. This is mine:

Products used: BG Indian Summer pp’s, Prima flowers & lace, misch chipboard painted with white crackle paint, Tim Holtz metal embellishment, misc lace, pearls & feathers. Alphas are Carolee’s Creations & MM.

That’s all for now. Looking forward to a whole weekend of scrapping at the Sketchbook Retreat, starting Friday afternoon. Bring it on!!!

A short post

Just wanted to share the two LO’s I’ve done the last few nights, while feeling blah… They are for Australian challenge blogs.

 

 

Prima, Prima, Prima on this one, and als0 flowers form BoBunny & ZVA Creative, pearls from Kaisercraft, pins from Spotlight, and then I’ve used my Martha Stewart butterfly punch. Alphas are also Prima, and American Craft. I just LOVE that photo of  Tova!

 

 

 

Papers and alphas are Basic Grey Eskimo Kisses. Love the colours, and the fact that you don’t have to scrap Christmas photos with this range! Brads are also BG, some other range, and then there are some Prima flowers, misc charm & tags, and then some pearlmaker.

 

That’s it. Over and out! Thanks for visiting!!!

Still blah!

Yes… Unfortunately I still feel a bit under the weather. I’m not REALLYL sick, but am not feeling great either. There’s a constant headache lingering, and you know. I just feel BLAH!

 

Anyway, I wanted to share with you my FIRST LO for A2Z Scraplets!!! It’s a LO for the October blog challenge, that you still have time to enter!! I was inspired by the colours in the ad, and the design of the ad.

 

 

 

The scraplets I have used are the two lovely flowers. I have painted them with blue and green crackle paint from Ranger. Love the effect! You can find them in Scrappin’ Patch’s  shop! Other products used: October Afternoon pp’s, alphas and embellies, Webster’s Pages alphas, Prima pebble and some twine.

 

Right. Better get back to my girls. They are over their last flu, but Tova’s got some nasty cough today, so will have to see what’s gonna happen with that…

 

Have a great Thursday!

Blah

That’s how I feel today. I’ve got some sort of flu, and have had a really bad headache all day. So blah feels like a great heading for this post!

 

Still wanted to share my latest LO’s with you. There are new challenges up and I’ve got some examples!

 

For the new weekly challenge at the Sketchbook, I did this LO that says “serenity”/”calm”/”peacefulness”. This week it’s a sketch from Ruth:

 

 

 

I don’t normally like purple, but these papers and embellies from Glitz design just spoke to me. Together with Prima flowers, leaves and alphas the LO just works I think!!

 

Then, I got my LAST scraps out from Basic Grey Lime Rickey collection (you kow I loved that one!) and did a LO for the latest challenge over at Scrappin’ Patch - a Basic Grey challenge!!!

 

 

 

Cardstock is Bazzill & alphas are Scenic Route, everything else is Lime Rickey!

 

And then – I actually managed to do a LO for a challenge myself! This is for sketch #32 over at Inspired Blueprints:

 

 

 

Products used: Bazzill kraft cardstock, Pink Paislee Amber Road paper & embellies, Pink Paislee alphas. The butterflies are cut out with my new Martha Stewart butterfly punch!!!

 

 

Well, that will have to do for tonight. Gotta go take some more pills for my poor head. ’til next time!

SWE stuff

Yesterday and today I have examples up for the challenges on the SWE scrapbook blog. I really love checking out the blog every day, there’s soooooooo much inspiration!!!

 

This first LO is for this weeks coulour challenge – yellow!

 

 

 

It’s all Cosmo Cricket Earth Love on there, apart from the BG chipboard alphas. Love me some Cosmo!!!

 

This next LO with the title “mischef” or “silly stuff” or something like that, is for today’s challenge. You are to choose a LO from one of the super talanted creative team members, make a sketch from that LO, and then create a LO from the sketch. I chose this LO form the amazing Sophia, and here’s the result:

 

 

I’ve used Bazzill cardstock, BG Indian Summer papers, a Prima flower vine, and alphas from BG & Webster’s pages. The lace is Webster’s pages too. I’m very happy with this LO actually!!!

 

 

You know that you can always contact me if you want to do one or more of the challenges on the SWE scrapbook blog. Don’t let the language barrier stop you!!!

 

Laters!

We’ve got a winner!!!

Yep, I’ve done the draw for my BLOGGIVERSARY RAK.

 

Out of the 90 (!!!!) lovely comments you all left – THANK YOU  – I can only reward one, unfortunately. This time the lucky number was:

 

 

And comment number 11 was made by noone else but the lovely Mrs Frizz!!!

 

Congratulations! I will email you to discuss what you could possibly need for your crafty addiction… I think you might have it all already…

 

And now, sharing time…

 

First a LO that is one of the examples for the latest challenge at Scrappin’ Patch – the PRIMA challenge. Gotta love that…

 

 

Apart from the Maya Road pins, the Pink Pailsee alphas, the misc feathers and the blue Shimmerz on the roses, it’s ALL Prima!

 

And then, the new challenge over at the Sketchbook - make a double page! I don’t do it often, but it’s cool when it works!

 

 

 

Products used: Bazzill cardstock, Sassafras Lass & Jenni Bowlin patterned pp, Prima flowers, Robin’s Nest dewdrops, MME words, Jenni Bowlin, Heidi Swapp & AC alphas, misc butterflies. The title says “So, my dear Tova, how many times can  you jump in 15 minutes”.

 

 

OK, that’ll do for today. Soooooooon I can reveal my other little secret too…

Let’s get shabby!

Yes, LET”S!!! I found this cool challenge blog, and of course I had to play - ’cause you know I love the shabby chic style!!

 

So, again I’ve used Webster’s pages. The base of the LO is actually Glitz design pp, and I’ve also used a music note pp & a page from and old book by Winston Churchill. That must fall in the category of vintage, don’t you think? Have also used some old satin fabric, my MIL’s old curtain again, and a butterfly of some sort that my MIL found at some flea market years ago. Have also used Prima flowers & lace, Kaisercraft pearls, a Tim Holtz book plate, and alphas from Webster’s pages & BG. Hade FUN doing this page!

 

 

 

Remember you have FIVE more days to comment on any post on my blog to be in the draw for a nice RAK. Good luck!
