Stunningly Beautiful

Hi There,

Who doesn't think that their mum is Stunningly Beautiful?

I know mine is!

So I took this opportunity to use some of the new release products from Scrap FX.

I also used the newly release Cocoa Vanilla Studio Collection - Bohemian Dreams.

Here are some close ups:

I used the Stunningly Beautiful Chipboard and inked the title.

The background features the Cross Confetti Stencil and some texture paste.

This is the Lotus Flourish A is coloured with Shimmerz - Bubblegum Blast.

My Brother My Mate

Hi There,

I always love the opportunity to scrap my boys.

So, I was super excited when Scrap FX sent 

out the new releases for the month 

and they were so masculine and fun.

For this layout I used the My Brother My Mate Mini

chipboard, and could it possibly be more perfect for this photo?

Here are some close-ups:

I used the Chevron Borders chipboard and inked it black.

The background was created by using Shimmerz Coloringz - 

Heidi Ho Blue, Night Moves and Scarlets Fever.

This is the Crate Papers - Cool Kid Collection.

I coloured the My Brother My Mate Mini with Posca Pens.

I do love this collection and have created 2 layouts with it so far.

Here are the products I used from Scrap FX

Scooter Fun

Hi There Friends,

You know you are a scrapbooking mum when you co-ordinate you child's clothes to your patterned papers, to go to the skate park.

Today I am sharing a layout I create, using some 

very cool Scrap FX products.

I had loads of fun creating this layout!

Here are some close-ups:

I used some texture paste and the  Scrap FX Crossword Stencil

to add some dimension to the page.

I inked the Scrap FX Chevron Borders chipboard in a Navy colour to fit right in with the patterned paper.

The title "Scooter Fun" is a new release this month.

As soon as I seen it, I knew I would be able to do a layout with a photo of my boy Lucas at the skate park.

Here are the products:

Have Courage and Be Kind

Hi Friends,

My layout share today is all about the quote that inspired me:

"Have Courage and Be Kind"

It is also my last post as a Shimmerz Educator.

I have loved every minute that I have been a part of the team,

more like family though.

I used a Scrap FX Crosswords Stencil with Shimmerz Paste-eez - Lava Flow to create the background.

As well as some cute heart using 

Shimmerz Paste-eez - Puttin' On The Glitz.

The splatters were created by using:

Shimmerz Coloringz - Oh Say Can You Sea

Shimmerz Coloringz - Night Moves

Shimmerz Spritz - Cotton Candy

and Shimmerz - Bubblegum Blast

I used the Kaisercraft Wildflower Collection for this layout.

Head on over to the Shimmerz blog

for the Step by Step on how this layout was created.

There is one more day left to apply for their Design Team Call.

Wild @ Heart

Hi There Friends,

I am coming to you from school holidays here in Australia.

School Holidays mean lots of creative time at home.

My favourite kind of days.

Which sometimes require me not getting out of PJ's!!

Here is a layout I created

focusing on the background

which was created with Shimmerz Paints, of course!

Love how this turned out.  

These are the Shimmerz Products I used to create this layout.

Shimmerz Vibez - Razzeldazzelberry

Shimmerz Vibez - Pop Art Pink

Shimmerz Coloringz - Mama Sings the Blues

I created the background.

Lots of layers.

Here is the video for you to watch.

Guitar Man

Hey There,

I hope your weekend is treating you well.

I'm here to share another layout I created

just for me, and no other reason.

Oh, I do love this collection from

Bella Boulevard - Alex Collection.

It was the perfect collection for this photo of

my youngest boy Lucas.

Here are some close-ups:

I used a stencil and the 

Shimmerz Paste-eez -  Hold the Mustard.

I cut strips to create my own funky background.

I added some paint by using 

Shimmerz - AcriTonez - Shimmerz Tar, Tar.

Thanks so much for stopping by!!

And remember if you put in a Shimmerz

order, don't forget to mention my name in the comments!

Dream Big!

Hi There,

This weekend I had the opportunity to hang

out with some like minded creatives and

just scrapbook for fun.

This is one of the layouts I created

using the American Crafts,

Shimelle - Star Shine Collection.

I love this range!!

I did loads of fussy cutting on this layout.

I cut the clouds out of the patterned paper,

then I stuck it on some pink paper from the range 

and fussy cut again to get this layered look.

The hot air balloons are fussy cut from another 

piece of patterned paper in the collection.

I used a stencil and texture paste on the white backing

paper, with some Shimmerz for color.

Don't you love the sparkle Thickers!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Case File 220 - Happy Christmas

Hey Friends,

Time for another Case File from CSI: Color Stories Inspiration

and this one was a little harder for me,

but I loved the outcome.

I think it was because this color palette,

had us trying different Christmas colors

than the traditional palette.

Love these two boys!!

I don't usually use pink for them but I like it!

I have used all colors in the palette.

My Evidence is:  Stars, Ribbon, Tags and Sprinkle Something.

My Testimony is:  Write your journaling in the form

of a recipe.

Here are some close-ups:

My Sprinkle Something - was Michelle Grant Designs

Pebble Rock - Micro Transparent - Clear Rocks.

I used texture paste and a stencil, then sprinkled the rocks

before the texture paste dried.

The bonus is that when I used my

Shimmerz Vibez - Cold as Ice

it colored the rocks as well.

The Chipboard Words are from The Dusty Attic.

My journaling is on the tag behind the photo.

This is what the Case File 220 looks like:
