Something Saturday - Watercolour Pencils on Black

-
Image
Hi there Creators Today I'm showing off how you can make the watercolour pencils really pop on a black background. when you use them this way you don't add water or anything else, just simply use them as pencils. This is the first card I made before the video: I've used the Celebratory Sips Suite (see links below) for both of these cards Then I made this one up in the video, and finished it off after, by adding some greenery around the bottom, the sayings and I wanted to create a graduated background paper to kind of give a sunset appearance, so to to that I've brushed darker colours onto the Pumpkin Pie cardstock to deepen it nearer the bottom. Here is a list of the products I used: Celebratory Sips Collection (I recommend getting the whole lot 'cos it's worth it!) but if you don't want it all, then, then in fact the only part I used here is: Cheers & Sips Stamp set Watercolour Pencils Assortment 1 Watercolour Pencils Assortment 2 If you missed the vid...

A spot of Photo organising!

-
Hi everyone,
Well if you know me, you'll know that I'm not terribly good at remembering to take photos of everyday life (sometimes I remember the important stuff - lol)
Anyway my poor mother, keeps requesting photos from me, and I keep forgetting to send any!, so eventually around Christmas time last year I said, how about I make you up an album with photos (as I was having a half hearted go at doing one for myself I figured I could potentially do 2!  Yay today I finally got Mum's album in the mail to her!
I thought I'd share with you a few of the pages (of my album, as I'd already sent hers by the time I thought about taking photos of the pages - lol), and the front cover of my Mums' album.
Here is the front of my Mums album, really pleased with the way it turned out
 So that's it for Mum's album - lol now you get to see some selected pages from our album! these first two show how to use the small 2" square boxes, you can either put reduced size photos into them, or you can use a full photo and cut it up to pop in, I think your eye just sort of fills in the gaps, and sees the whole photo!

Next up when we went up to Hervey Bay in Queensland we saw this Go Kart track, and just HAD to go back and give it a go!  I love some of the photos I got from this (with Tom's camera), again you can see that I've taken a couple of photos and cut them in 1/2 to fit them in.
 Love this photo of Samuel, he was SOOO excited!  got to go on the tandem with Tom (apparently both sides had working controls (made for an interesting ride - lol)
And lastly my favourite spread of my album, Josh's Birthday party they had frozen drinks, and I found the perfect card to go with it - Smile Laugh Repeat!

If you're after some of the Project Life Cards or Albums, check them out here: Project Life there are a few reduced items (Yay!)  Now to finish our 2016 Album and start on this year!
Can't wait to see what the new catalogue reveals with Photo Organising!

Alrighty well that's it from me for now, hope it inspires you to dig out your photos and start organising them :)

God Bless love

 Hi there Creators, Well today I thought we'd check out something from the new catalogue, which will be live in just a few days (7th Jan).

Something Saturday - Twisted Star Ornament

-
Image
 Hi there Creators I saw this cool star ornament in another video, and had a bit of a play around with it, ending up with this.... (with a retired Designer Series Paper) Then I ended up making this one (somewhat puffier 🤣) in the video with the current Natures Sweetness Specialty Designer Series Paper  Ok, to make this you'll need 16 strips of 15cm x 1cm Designer Paper & glue (I used tombow) Use 8 of the pieces for each side of the star, you twist them like a Breast Cancer ribbon, but with a small "head section" and have a gap of around 4cm at the free end, and around 4cm of the 2 free arms (if that makes sense, it should if you've seen the video!) you then glue 8 of the "heads" together to make the middle of the star then the tails glue together to form the points. once you've made up 2 of these, you then glue them back to back, adding a piece of twine into the last point If you missed the video here it is:  I hope this inspires you to create one t...

GDP #261

 Hi there Creators, The Global Design Project #261 challenge this week is a colour challenge: (check out the link to see what others have done)   So I thought I'd join in again, and try out a card type I've seen someone else show off recently  I know it would have been on one of the Stampin' Up! facebook pages, I can't remember exactly what she used, but I liked the 3D'ness of it 😄 and I have no idea what the card is called possibly Diorama card would work?  anyway I set to work trying to work out how she'd done it (although I suspect if I could re-find hers she'd probably already done instructions lol)  I always seem to take the hard way..... So here is my "take" on it using these colours.  The inside is the impressive bit..... The outside not so impressive, but check out that gorgeous Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper !  I've teamed it up with the Ornate Layers Dies , and the super soft ribbon from the Basket Weave & Metall...
