Stuck September 1st Sketch

Well it was great to hear that Stuck Sketches has found a new owner and the blog will continue to inspire so many people. A big welcome to Laura, I am looking forward to the next chapter.

With the search for a new keeper and the change over, we were running a little late with the first sketch this month, but I think everything is back on track.

So here is the Sept 1st Sketch

Finally got some scrapping done yesterday while trying to pack for a retreat. Photos of one of my gorgeous nieces posing with her Grandmas doll.

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.

Exciting announcement!

I was asked by the lovely Wendy Smith to return to the Scrap The Boys team and have happily accepted.

WORDS OR WHATEVER August New Releases

Have you seen the new releases for WOW this month?
They are absolutely amazing, new AltaMATZ, Chipboard, Wood Veneers and the latest new product that has been created. Loving the sets of Krafty Bits

I have put together three pages to show off the new pieces, hope you enjoy them.

Together
Features a number of WOW products. The new title Together has been inked and coated with Glossy Accent. A heart wood veneer has been lightly covered with Distrees Ink and covered with Glossy Accents.



A heart journal card from Journal Set 1 is tucked under one of the photos, I have backed the cut out heart with some patterned paper, inked the edges and added a little doodling. The next layer is the Love Polaroid Frame from the Laugh Love You Polaroid set, heavily inked with black and backed with paper to form part of my journal strips.



 

Sinister Sister Act
Scrapping photos of my sister and I from last Halloween. I thought the new 12x12 Spiderweb AltaMATZ was perfect for my page. Using black cardstock and I have misted with White Glimmermist. Once the mist was dry I have highlighted the web with diamond Stickles. Teamed with the new AltaMATZ was the release of the chipboard Spiderweb covered with Stickles.





Enjoy the sweet moments

Photos of my gorgeous great-niece taken down at the beach. Features the new Wood Veneer Star Pack coloured with Alcohol Ink and doodled with metallic gold pen.
