MEMORIES ON MONDAY

As I mentioned over the weekend, I am using stand alone stamp sets this week. Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you. I just need to find some photos to add to the layout.

I stamped my own background using the Flowing Flowers Stamp Set.

I used all of the flower images from the set and chose Granny Apple Green, Highland Heather and Petal Pink.

For the flower, bottom lefthand corner, I used all three colours by colouring directly on the stamp using my Stampin’ Write Markers.

The panels, for the photos, were cut using the Ornate Layers Dies.

I decided to use the Amazing Thanks Dies for the caption for this page. These dies are part of the Amazing Silhouettes Bundle but work well with just about any other stamp set.

I like the way these flowers fill the page.

Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday and I will have another colouring technique to share with you.

Until the, happy stamping.

EACH MONDAY, MY AIM IS TO SHARE MEMORIES

This week, my Memories on Monday post doesn’t have a scrapbook page. I haven’t printed these photos yet but I can still share the memories.

Last Saturday, I joined a group of fellow demonstrators for a day offering meeting, sharing, creating, learning, training and inspiring.

The Paper Angels team day was organised by Anna Wheaton, Bec Ross and Liz Collett AND it was amazing. It started at 10am and went through until a little after 4pm.

On arrival, we each received a goodies bag that also contained our make ‘n’ take packs. Those of us who participated in swaps handed them over to Anna. This time I had a card and 3D swaps to share.

The crepe paper rainbow and balloon backdrop was made by Liz. It was used as a background for photos.

After welcoming us all and some housekeeping, it was time for a presentation. These are the photos that have launched my weight loss goal.

I presented lots of projects featuring the Waves of the Ocean Collection – this is why I have two weeks of posts ready to share.

This card is a version of the card I made for the card swap.

These are the marvellous women I spent the day creating with. It is always wonderful to do make ‘n’ takes with thoughtful, sharing and caring demonstrators. We worked together so well. Thank you to Sharon, Nicole, Felicity, Sue and Cheryl for making me feel so welcome.

This is the slimline swap card I made to share at the event. It’s great to go home and have 10 unique samples that I can share in my classes.

No photo description available.

My 3D project was a triangualr gift box. I popped some mini Toblerone treats inside the box. A copy of the template was shared with the swap.

The gift box I made used different coloured cardstock and DSP to this earlier sample. I used the New Horizons DSP and coordinating cardstock.

As a memory, this will be a very happy one. I look forward to printing the images, creating a scrapbook page and journalling this experience.

Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday. Until then, happy stamping.

MONDAY MEMORIES – TIME TO SHARE A SCRAPBOOK PAGE

My weekly crafting schedule has Monday set aside for memory keeping. It’s the day for turning a 12″x 12″ page into a scrapbook page or pages.

As I am using the Waves of the Ocean Collection, I knew that I needed to scrap some Bell’s Beach photos. As a family, we have visited Bell’s Beach a couple of times.

I started this layout by choosing Bermuda Bay as the base colour.

For the main photo (centre) I created a piece of vellum coloured with Stampin’ Blends and rubbing alcohol. To do this I used Dark Bermuda Bay and Dark Night of Navy Stampin’ Blends and coloured connecting spots before using an eye dropper to drop the alcohol. I cut the vellum and a piece of Night of Navy Foil to make the matte layer the photo is attached to.

After all three photos were positioned on the page, I went on to cut, layer and attach the waves.

The pelicons were cut from a piece of Mother of Pearl 12″x 12″ Specialty Paper. The two pelicans in the top and middle positions each have another die cut pelican underneath – the top one was cut from a piece of Bermuda Bay Foil and the middle one was cut from a piece of the alcohol coloured vellum.

Using the same Mother of Pearl paper, I cut the title for this page with the Playful Alphabet Dies. The Adhesive Sheets that I placed behind the paper made it very easy to attach the title.

After cutting the seagulls, I added them making them fly across the page.

The shimmer on the Mother of Pearl Specialty Paper is so stunning.

Placing this pelican in the corner of this photo added a great finishing touch.

I didn’t put the Playful Alphabets Dies in this photo – if you could see my craft room at the moment, you would understand why I couldn’t find them.

Tomorrow is Technique Tuesday and I have two to share with you.

Until then, happy stamping.
