Scrapbook lay out

A 8x8 scrapbook layout of my gorgeous little grandson & his cheeky smile.
The paper is from Ki which was double sided with the brown swirly pattern on the back & as I had two sheets of this paper I've been able to used reverse side for the other sheet.
I've dug out some more eyelets ( trying to get them used up) & used them around the circle.
The little arrow & hearts I'd coloured with blue ink.

What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday 311

My desk today is how I left it last night with a scrapbook lay out in the making.

I've got it all set out ready & like how its looking so that just leaves me to stick everything down & set the eyelets around the circle.

I'm off now to have a look to see what everyone been up to & see what's on their desk.

If your wondering why i'm doing this join in the fun here at Julia's place

World book day scrapbook layout

My lovely grandson wearing his Leprechaun outfit which was made by my clever daughter in law to celebrate multicultural books for world book day at school in March.

I've used yellow, green & gold card & the letters have been cut in the same gold card using an alphabet die .

The back ground paper is by sassafias call preserve & used some ribbon with pencils on along the bottom of my page.

I've also added some gold eyelets .

"Hello" Scrapbook Layout

A scrapbook layout using paper from Sassafias called cherry delicious . Its a double sided paper which has very bold red flowers on the other side which wouldn't have work .

I chose this yellow side as it went well with the photos I wanted to use of my Grandson.

The letters are from K& Co & the camera from Simple stories . The large brads are from my stash .

I've added three wooden stars & coloured them with brown & blue ink to match everything else.

Quite a simple layout .

What's On Your Work Desk Wednesday 310

It's Wednesday so i'm popping over to Julia's to join in showing what I have on my desk today along with lots of other craft minded people.  If you'd like to find out more then follow here http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/ 

So my desk this morning looks like this.

I've  been sorting through some paper ready for making a scrapbook lay out .

I chosen the paper now & need to find some embellishment & other bits that will work with this page.

Fun with Art Journal Page

I've had fun making an art page for the dylusions Facebook challenge for this month.

The theme for this month was use circles, a character & turquoise.

Post Card Swap

My post card swap for this month for ukstamper.co.uk .
The theme set by Sam who runs the monthly swap was anything goes.
I've used Dylusions spray inks & stamps & the diamond pattern was using texture paste through a stencil .

Inchies, Twinchies, & Tags

Karen has arranged for some swap to take on UkScrappers.co.uk .

I've joined three of the swaps which as you can see from my post I've been busy crafting little inches (1x1 inch squares) using a stamp from Crafty individuals.  This was way out of my comfort zone but I gave it my best shot.

The  second swap I joined was Twinches . Twinchies are 2x2 inch squares, which are much easier to work with I found then inchies.  

The third swap I'd joined was more in my comfort zone making mix media tags, although these tags had to be a little smaller then usual. The tags measured 2inch x4inch.

 My tags was made with Dylusions spray ink Vibrant Turquoise, & Fresh Lime.

The letter stamp is one from the dylusions range & the ink used was Archival Egg Plant.

Using a crafters workshop template I went over parts of the template with Viva Croco Gold Crackle.

Here's a closer look are the finished results once the croco crackle has dried.

It's given the look of gold glass which is a look I'm pleased with  & must remember to use it more often.

 

Whats on Your Work Desk Wednesday #309

My desk today is not revealing to much of what I've been up to is it.

Atc's for two swaps

Two batches of atc's made for swaps .

My first swap was for ukstampers.co.uk.  The song title theme for this month was Ebony & Ivory.

I've been thinking for days what to do for this swap & this is my take on the song.

 

 My second swap is for a Facebook swap , & the theme Sue set for this months challenge was Black,White & one other colour.
The colour I've used is Broken China distress ink & have used a lovely little stamp with a seaside theme .
