Just Sharing some More....

Layouts I did while I was on holiday.  I did them as challenges, then couldn't work out how to upload them to the correct sites via my iPad...oh well...lol...

This first one was done for Scrapbook Savvy's September Manufacturer's Challenge.  Last month the challenge was to use Bella products.
As I was  on  holiday, I didn't have any Bella with me, so I had to rely with the LSS on Bribie Island.  I was able to track down some Boyz Paperz - the tags papers, and created this layout:

I also used one of my favourite WOW Words or Whatever Products - the 12x12 Star Frame set C1468.  A very different style for me, hey?  Just added some black Gesso and stamped some grungy background on the cardstock to add more layers - you know how I love my layers!!  LOL!

I also did this layout for the Savvy September Sketch Challenge:

Photo is of my Dad and Connor fishing in the Burnett River, Bundaberg.  Connor caught is first fish too - just a little ol' tiddling toadfish, but he was thrilled all the same.  Little cutie!  Of course, he was just so happy to throw it back, as he is a bit of a sook like his mama and doesn't like hurting animals.  LOL.
I've used some stunning October Afternoon Woodland Park papers, found at Anna's Craft Cupboard here:
That's it for the shares from me atm - I have been doing a heap of other projects, but at the moment it is Secret Squirrel stuff....lol..
Cheers!

WOW - New Releases for October

Good Morning!
Hope you are all having a wonderful Sunday morning!
It is New Release Release Week over on the WOW - Words of Whatever Blog.
Here is the layout I did:

I used the STUNNING Basic Grey Soleil's Range - available here,  at Anna's Craft Cupboard.
I have used the ALL NEW WOW - Words or Whatever  Large Pennants Banner WOW1647:

Here is a close up of how I altered them:

All I did was first paint them in Ranger Dauber - Lilac, then when dry I dabbed a Ranger Dauber in Citrus lightly over the top.  Finally, I outlined it with black pen.
Don't forget to pop over to the WOW - Words or Whatever blog to find out how the other DT girls used their New Release goodies.
Bye for now!

I Am Sooooo Excited!!!

About this announcement at Anna's Craft Cupboard.
Super cool hey?  Must admit I am a little daunted, the ladies over there are so super talented, so I am really hoping I do all her gorgeous stock justice.
Anyways, I have been a bit quiet on the blog front as I have been away on holidays the last couple of weeks.  It was super busy, and I am actually quite relieved to be back home to relative peace and quiet!!  Tis a bit sad when you have to come home from a holiday to relax!!  LOL!

Here are a couple of layouts I did while I was away:

This one is of Connor at Christmas last year - thought I'd better start creating Christmas layouts from last year's photos because Christmas is fast approaching yet again "sigh"
I have used the stunning My Mind's Eye Range "All Is Bright" range which can be found here at Anna's Craft Cupboard, and the accessories can be found here. I have also used some
Prima Shabby Resins,  and some Manor House Creations Flowers.

I also did the layout for the Blog Hoppers' Page on Facebook, the theme was "Time."  I created this layout about my Great Grandmother dressed in all her finery.

I have used Kaisercraft Miss Match Papers and Accessories.  Both available at Anna's Craft Cupboard.  I also included a bit of fabulous WOW Words or Whatever Chipboard in the way of the Clock Gear and Flourish Large WOW1517

That's it from me for now, I have more to share, but I will in another post!
Bye!

WOW's Words or Whatever Recipe Challenge

Hi folks!
Have you visited WOW - Words or Whatever Blog this week?  If you have, you'll find that there is a RECIPE challenge happening this month.

Here is your recipe:

This is what I came up with - just a really simple one 'cos I was rushing to go away early the next day, and I had to pack first, then I didn't have much time to do this AND get a good night's sleep for the long drive!

So I used:
5 x  Flowers - 4 x Prima Flowers and 1 x Handmade Rosette Flower
4 x Words - Title is "His Brand New Bike"
3 x Patterned Papers - 1 as the base, and two others - think they are Echo Park "About a Boy" range.
2 x Photos - Of our lil man riding his brand new bike.
1 x WOW Chipboard.  Well, actually it is an MDF piece.  The single bicycle on the Rosette is from the WOW - Words or Whatever MDF Mini Bicycle Pack MDF010

Here is a close up, all I did was ink it with a Prima Chalk Ink - in Rust.

Don't forget to pop over to the blog and check out the other DT Member's work - they have done an awesome job!  Once you are finished, just add it to the linky below, or on the WOW Blog Website.  What are you waiting for - better get cracking!!!
Have a lovely weekend all, I'm on hols at the moment, so I am a bit quiet.  I'll be back in a few days with more shares, and some exciting news!!

Fabulous Friday at Frosted Designs

Well it sure doesn't seem like it, but it is Friday again.  It has been such a busy week!  Camp Week at Whitsunday Anglican School has been, as usual a hectic but very enjoyable time for all the children involved.
If you are looking for a challenge on the weekend to help get the mojo flowing, don't forget it is Fabulous Friday over at the Frosted Designs Challege Blog.
The challenge this week is to use Triangles - yep, it's that easy, they can be any size or dimension, and it doesn't matter how you  use them.  I was blown away by some of the ideas the Design Team came up with, so make sure you head on over to the blog to check it out.

Here is my sample:

As you can see, I was quite boring and just used some paper with triangles on it, I was lucky to have some of this gorgeous and bright Little Yellow Bicycle range left.

 

As you can see, I added some WOW in the form of the 12x12 Star Frames C1468 which I inked in an Ingvild Bolme Prima Chalk Ink in yellow, then inked the edges in black to make them pop a bit more.  These stars are just so versatile - especially for boy layouts, just love 'em!

 

I'm off again, I'm hoping to get some more creating done tonight - I am working on a canvas for my little man!

Thanks for popping by!

 

Sharing the WOW Love

It’s my turn this week to host the WOW – Words or Whatever Blog.  I have been having loads of fun playing with new chipboard, and also some Off The Page Creations.
Here are some of the things I’ve been creating:

loved the look of the this WOW – Words or Whatever Rifle Shooting Pack WOW1606. Even though it is an army/cadet/paintball type theme, I knew I could use it on a grungy type layout of my Mr 7.
I simply used some Black Gesso on the Chipboard Rifle to blend it in with my layout.  Here is a close-up:

Next, I’ve shared  an OTP – A Shadow Box for my Nanna.
Ornate Shadow Box Frame M153.

These Off The Page Pieces are cut in MDF, and they are beautifully done. They fit together so easily, even after the pieces have been cut. so much better than other brands. I was put off making Off the Page pieces due to my difficulty in putting them together, but not anymore! These are awesome!
I decided to create a bit of a tribute to my Great Uncle, who served in the Australian Air Force during World War II. He was actually in Darwin when it was bombed, and was lucky enough to survive. After the war, he returned to Ipswich, but later followed his daughter to Western Australia. Nanna was very sad that she never saw him again after that. I plan on giving this to her for Christmas:

I also used the WOW – Words or Whatever “Lest We Forget” Title C866 which I also painted with a Ranger Dauber – Gold.
Here is a close up:

I have also shared this layout, where I used a WOW- Words Or Whatever Title “I Love You To The Moon and Back” WOW1539, the WOW – Words Or Whatever 12x12 Star Frames C1468, and the stars I cut from the WOW – Words or Whatever Star Border C655.

If you want to find out more about how I created these WOW layouts, visit the WOW blog.
