Scrapbook Savvy BIG December Sketch

It's a busy time of year but thankfully I can still find a bit of time to get some scrapping done.

This month Chloe chose a gorgeous page from the Savvy gallery created by Rikki to base her December sketch on  and I really enjoyed my take on it.

Here is the sketch



Last night after all were asleep, I spent a few quiet hours creating. My page features a photo of Harrison taken while we were at the Christmas pageant a few weekends ago. I actually got him to stand still for a few minutes as we were heading back to the car through the South Parklands.

I have used the We're Savvy September kit which I just loved playing with and there are still some available in-store



My page also features a few of my favourite WOW pieces, chipboard You, Wood Veneer Brush Heart and Chevrons Stripes.

So You



Don't forget, this is THE COMPETITION TO ENTER as you could win $40 voucher to spend in the Scrapbook Savvy Store with FREE POSTAGE.

Upload your page to the correct gallery by Midnight 31st December to be in the running for this randomly drawn prize.

Thanks for visiting my blog today, hope you get a chance to try the sketch.

Day Two of WOW inspiration

Yep I'm back again! 
Hope you are enjoying this gorgeous spring weather at the moment.

Today's page is Sliding Trio
These are recent photos from my baby Sister's visit. Here is my son and his cousins giving the slippery dip near Grandmas a good workout.

This page features lots of different WOW products.

I used the Random Stars 12x12 AltaMATZ to jazz up the background cardstock, I have outlined the stars with a gold metallic pen and then coloured them in. Simple but effective.

The embellishment cluster starts with a new Kraft Bits Journal Card as the base.
The Mini Polaroid Frame 'Laugh' has been covered with navy ink and backed with lined paper to become my journal spot.

I love the small Tree of Hearts. The tree was covered with charcoal ink first and let to dry. Once dry, I have coloured the hearts with Turquoise Stickles for a touch of bling. The cluster is complete with the '2013' that was also covered with charcoal ink and then given a coat of Dimensional Magic.



The title has been created using the New Boy Alphabet. I have used Metallic silver ink to colour the letters and then sealed them with Dimensional Magic. The final piece of WOW is the Thumbs Up wood veneer icon was inked with a light yellow and then a thick coat of Dimensional Magic was applied to give it a full finish.



I really love how this page turned out, captures how much fun the kids were having perfectly.



Thanks for visiting my blog today, meet you back here on tomorrow

It's my WOW week!

Hello there, I am finally getting caught up on my blog, I'm sure I've lost a week of August somewhere.

So it's my turn to share some of my new creations for Words Or Whatever over on the blog this week, it only seems right that I should share them here too. I will have five different pages to show you, spread across the week. I hope they will give you plenty of ideas for you to try on your own projects.

Today's page is Zoo Visit
Photos are from 2010 and feature my son and his best mate.

I have used the chipboard Bamboo Tree and two of the Mini Speech Bubbles

The tree has been inked using three different shades of green and roughly coated with Dimensional Magic to help blend the colours.



The speech bubbles were coloured using red and yellow inks and left to dry for short period. Then using a black gel been I have doodled borders around each of them and used the pen to highlight the words etched into each bubble. A coat of Dimensional Magic was applied to finish the pieces off which also helped to enhance the black pen.




Here is the finished page, love the bright colour against black cardstock, it always looks fabulous.


That's all for today, enjoy the rest of the day and remember to drop by again tomorrow for more chipboard goodness.
