Scrap Stash Swap - SSS

I decided to challenge myself and thought about using my friends 'scraps'. So I went next door and asked Nikki if she had any scraps I might be able to use. Thankfully she said yes. So i found quite a few sheets that I thought would go well together, (and grabbed enough for 2 pages or more). I will go through my stash and give her some as a swap, and see if she can do the same.
This page is a photo of the kids on boxing day a few years ago. I picked scraps in some of my favourite colours and luckily was able to use them on this photo I've had waiting to be scrapped.
Items used: bazzill, misc scrap papers, felt bird, inque boutique felt hearts, misc button, fiskars punch, me and my big ideas rubons, kaisercraft bling, brad, handmade flower by me, stampin up top note journal spot, stampin up shimmer paint for the border (love this stuff)


And this one of the kids at Nurragingy Reserve. Loved the Autum colours so found some of Nikki's scraps with those tones.
items used: pp - kaisercraft, kaisercraft flowers, pearls, bazzill, lil davis rub on, scrapware wooden heart, misc chipboard, date stamp

@ Surfers

Just realised I've not posted anything here for a month!! Well it is the Silly season and I have been really busy trying to organise myself for Xmas. I've also had work xmas functions, family xmas get-togethers to attend. I am almost due to take a long break from work so I plan to scrap quite alot and hopefully I can do this (instead of basking in the sun!)
This is a layout I completed a little while ago and forgot to share. I won these gorgeous Prima masks from a Storyboard Kits giveaway (I was very excited by this as I never win anything!!). So the day they arrived in the mail I created this layout and I really love it. I must pull the masks out and use them again, as I really love the effect it creates.

Items Used: Bazzill, glimmermist, pp - Kaisercraft, craftworks felt flower, Carolees creations sticker, fiskars border punch, inque boutique felt pieces, Prima stencil and flower centre, rhinstone, Kaisercraft rub-ons, and thickers.

One gorgeous day

I havent done a lot of scrapping lately, been a bit busy focusing on this weekend coming - my launch party for Stampin' Up!. But last night I was feeling a bit down (mainly feeling the loss of the pet bird Benny, who flew away on Thursday)so I pulled out the scrapping supplies and wasnt quite sure of how it would turn out given my mood. But i am quite happy with the final outcome. I scrapped some photos I had of the family playing in a wonderful park we found while camping last year.

items used: pp - kaisercraft, graphic 45, ruby rockit, kaisercraft letter stickers, Stampin' Up! punch, ink and smooch spritz, wow chipboard word, gloss paint and glitter.
I apologise for the photo, I just couldn't photograph the 'gorgeous' properly with the gloss on it.

Girls weekend of scrapping

The weekend of October 15-17, 4 friends and I went away for a girls weekend to the Central Coast, The Entrance. We rented this great little apartment with ocean views and within walking distance to everything we needed. We even found a great little scrapbook shop which we went a little crazy in. We all took our scrapping stuff (Apart from one friend who isnt into scrapping YET, so she knitted away while we scrapped). I completed 7 pages (was aiming for 6) and I am sharing a few of them now, this first one was inspired yet again by Ebony Van Der Starre. I love her work and I am super happy with how this page came out.

Another new flower creation, this one made of felt from cuttlebug templates which i ran through the Sizzix Big shot. Love this new line of kaisercraft papers too!

This page has some of my own creations - My organza flowers! 2 different varieties, and I'm happy with the way they look.

This one created from Kaisercraft papers (From the kit I put together for the girls)PLUS, my very own flowers. I really love these flowers, I think they really make a statement. Tell me what you think???

I put together a kit for each of us, mainly consisting of Kaisercraft papers, letters, and I think the girls loved them because they all used them on more than one layout. I love how this one turned out

Stampin' Up!

Would like to let everyone know that I am now officially an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator!. I am really looking forward to this venture and hope it is very exciting. I will more than likely be setting up a separate blog for Stampin" Up news and will let you know more about that as it happens. So, for now, if you would like anything from the catalogue etc, leave me a message or email me and I will help you out, no matter where you are in Australia!

Sneak Peek

Heres a little sneak peek at what I've been up to. I've been making my own embellishments. I am joining a group of ladies for a craft sale, so I have been making lots and lots of these little flowers to sell at the stall along with some older scrapbooking supplies and stamps.

So if you are in the Lalor Park / Seven Hills area, these are the details for the craft sale.

Where: Church Hall
Cnr Heffron Road and Gallop Grove
LALOR PARK

When: Saturday 23rd October
Time: 9am -1pm only

The ladies have cleaned out their cupboards and all items need new homes. Stamp sets, handmade gifts, scrapbooking items, lots of Stampin' Up products and more.

So if you are close to the area, come along for a visit, you may just find something nice.
