Introducing their gorgeous new Wood Veeners products and more fabulous new AltaMATZ

50th Wedding Anniversary (Part Three) - WOW Week

Hello and welcome.

I was planning to share another layout with you today, but I had forgotten to photograph the page on the weekend and last night when I arrived home it was very dark and dreary. I will hopefully have that page for you tomorrow or Saturday.

So today I will continue to share my parent's album with  you.

We are up to child number two. She is my big Sis and a scrapbooker in training.
She was amazing help with the album, could not have finished it without her.




The chipboard titles 'Leanne' & 'Eldest Daughter' are again custom-cut by WOW, they have been covered with gold paint and then finished off with Glitter Mod Podge.




Her family collage page features a butterfly from the Butterfly Elements Pack and little people from the Mini People Pack 



I have blended gold and aqua inks on the butterfly and covered the mini people with gold ink.




Next up on the family roll call is child number three and that would be me!

The chipboard titles 'Kerryn' & 'Middle Child' have had the same treatment gold paint base and glitter Mod Podge finish.






My family collage page features Mini People and a Mini Heart to make sure our little angel in heaven is included on our page




There is still more to share, but I think that will do it for today.

Thank you for visiting the blog, hope you will check back again.

Almost Nine - WOW Week

Back again with more WOW

Over the past 2 weekends I have been trying to get back my crafty groove after burning my bridges creating and completing the album and I must admit, it has taken me quite a few layouts to be liking things again.

Today I want to share a layout I completed last week of my darling boy who celebrated his 9th Birthday recently. Over the past 2 years I have snapped a photo of him sleeping on his birthday eve so I can capture those memories and scrap them. Said son not overly impressed.

I have used a star from the 12x12 Star frames to frame his sleepy face. It has been simply covered using  Bronze Brilliance Metallic Inks. The wonky starts are from the Skewed Stars pack. They have been inked using brown and then stamped with a script stamp and bronze ink.









This is what the final page looks like, I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.


More to come tomorrow, stay tuned :)

50th Wedding Anniversary (Part Two) - WOW Week

Welcome back to the blog.

Today I am sharing a few more pages from my parent's album.

This is the church they were married in back in country South Australiain 1963. The title for this page 'Where it all began' was a custom-cut WOW chipboard piece that has been covered with gold paint and a quick lick of glitter Mod Podge. I used another Butterfly from a Butterfly Elements pack covered with a combination of gold and aqua inks.





And here is the happy couple on their special day. They look so young!
The chipboard pieces have all been covered using gold paint, once dry, I have finished them off with a good coat of Glossy Accents. I have used Heart Trio x2, the word Wedding as my title and some hearts from the Mini Heart Pack






OK now to show off my parent's greatest assets, their children and families.

You may notice there are gold envelopes on each page. Each envelope holds messages/pictures from the children, their partners and the grandchildren. They tell our parents how much they are loved, some of our favourite memories from our childhood and what this occasion means to us.

First to arrive and the eldest of the bunch, is my brother Peter. Such a handsome man!
Both of the chipboard pieces featured here were custom-cut.
They have been covered with gold paint and glitter Mod Podge.

On the opposite page to each child, is a page created capturing their beautiful families. I loved creating the collages of each family for the album. I have used the Mini People Pack to represent each family member. They have been simply inked with gold.




Well I think I will leave it there for today, I will have more from the album later in the week.
Hope you will check back tomorrow to see what else I have been doing.

Thanks for visiting the blog.

Stuck?! June 1st Sketch

Wow! This is my second post for the day, finally getting myself organised!

I always love the sketches that Sara creates and find them so easy to use.

Just love being together

50th Wedding Anniversary (Part One) WOW Week

On the 11th of May, my parents celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

At some stage during April, we went a little crazy and came up with a brilliant idea of putting together an album to capture some of the great memories of their time together. 
It was an awesome team effort, with my big sister, Leanne, one of our Aunty's (Mum's sister) Aunt Sue and of course, me. 
The hardest part of this adventure was that I was the only scrapper, but with Aunt Sue dabbling in craft and Leanne being a fabulous learner, we pushed ahead. 
It is amazing what you can achieve with family.

The other star I must mention for this project was, of course, Suzanne and WOW chipboard. 
She supplied all of the chipboard pieces for the entire album, many pieces were custom cut and then she rushed the order to give us plenty of time. I can not thank her enough!


I chose the Kaisercraft collection 'Elegance' to use for the project, perfect colours and embellishments.
The golden box that holds the album was found at my local News Agent, it was decorated with flowers, papers, gems, ribbon and the 50th Anniversary title. The title was covered with Brilliance gold ink and then coated with a layer of gold stickles.






I used an American Craft D-ring album that I have covered the outside of the album with patterned paper, stickers and chipboard. The insides of the album were painted with gold paint. The front cover features another 50th Anniversary title, with only the 50th covered with stickles and a gorgeous butterfly from the Butterfly Elements pack. I have protected the entire album with a few coats of matte Mod Podge.





The butterfly was covered with silver and turquoise ink, starting with silver in the centre and blending out to the edge of the wings with the turquoise. Once dry the butterfly was coated with Crackle Accents.



The first page was used as a title page, it features a custom piece of WOW chipboard, Celebrating your 50th Wedding Anniversary. This title was covered with gold paint and layer of glitter Mod Podge.





That's all for today  :) Hope you have enjoyed the album so far.
Tomorrow I will share their church and wedding photos along with their first born.

Thank you for visiting the blog.

Treasure this day - WOW Week

I am hosting the Words Or Whatever Blog this week, with a mixture of layouts and My parents 50th Wedding Anniversary album. 

To start the week off I put together a layout using a few of the gorgeous May New Releases.

Doing a bit of experimenting with some random splashes gold embossing powder on different parts of the chipboard pieces, after they were lightly covered with either red or brown ink. Pretty happy with the end result

Small stars from 12x12 Star FrameSet
