2 Crafty Snaps

This month a friend of mine, Mel,  got a cute little polaroid camera which takes these adorable little pictures (all be them true to polaroid nature a little overexposed) and so I really wanted to focus on the them and thought a layout with a lot of paper would detract from the photos.

I have found the perfect way to draw attention to the pictures is to use this very cute frame … its new and so fine and ornate that it is the most amazing embellishment for a simple page like this one.  I have treated the chipboard with glimmermist and added some flourishes I had left over from a 2 Crafty tree.

Scrap the Girls

This month I have done a few challenges the first of which is the Scrap the Girls challenge which has been a while…for this layout I had to take inspiration from a picture … I used the butterflies, colours, vines and tag as my inspiration.

Guest Designer on IB

This month I was approached by Inspired Blueprints to be their Guest designer …I felt very honoured and got to create 2 layouts for them using the fabulous sketches… The first of which is here Sketch #69 and my take… the banner I have created using shipping tags cut and popped together upside down…

New release frame

For my layout “a real connection” I have kept it simple…some background stamping on kraft and the focus on this amazing new release 2 crafty frame…simply inked and stuck around the photo of my 2.

what’s the buzz and news

BIG!!!! news …got offered a Design Team spot on the team of Australian Scrapbook Ideas Magazine so feeling a little bit excited about that.

This week I have had lots of time to play and was able to dig into my stash of photos that I have been meaning to scrap for ages.

On this  layout I have used 2 Crafty Corner Whispy Vines to frame my photo and inked them back to make the colours in the photo pop.

I have also used my favourite 2 crafty alphas on the layout…these too are simply inked black to coordinate.
