February in Kwazulu Natal

I am posting a layout of my grandson, Damien titled "Justlife" I love this photograph, it is so natural and spontaneous. I used paper from my stash, collection unknown, my very favourite Cheery Lyn die, GEARS B340, as well as the Cheery Lyn Chicken Wire frame die,FRM144.

Having spent a most enjoyable morning with my scrapping girls at my home, on our verandah, and having finished this layout, I am posting it today, I hope you enjoy it

My |Girl

For this layout I was inspired by one of my favourite artists, Heather Jacob.
I love the way she uses many
layers in her pages

Hi there, it's been far longer than I'd hoped since I wrote my last post, time waits for no-one.

Today I did a layout with a picture of my daughter-in-law, Tarryn. I had made the tag embellishment earlier this week and was really pleased with it so I decided to use it on this layout.

Products Used:

Heidi Swapp - Vintage Chic Just Dots

Spellbinders Birdcage and Bird

Cheery Lyn Chandelier Dye

Cheery Lyn Fence Die

Couture Creations Doily Die

Nellie Snedden Doily Die

Chiswick Flowers Stamp

Today is really exciting. I have been thinking about having my own blog for a while, it's taken a little while to get it off the ground.

This is the beginning of a blog where I look forward to sharing my passion for scrapping with other dedicated crafters.

It is my wish that through sharing my knowledge I will, in turn, learn from some of you who take the time to visit my space.....  Let the journey begin .......

Here goes my first layout .....

I did this one this week, it is of my granddaughter, Chayne. I will be teaching this layout at House of Art in Hillcrest sometime in June.
I just love these pictures, they really speak Chayne's spunky nature beautifully.

Laugh Always

I used papers from the fabulous Sugar and Spice range

from Fabscraps

The two I used are

Purple Swirls C45008 and

Cherry Blossom C45005

Stunning co-ordinated colours in this range,

I find them very easy to match

to my photographs

I used envelopes to store the journaling tickets

and added bunting for a whimsical, child-like feel

To assemble:

I painted around all sides of both

background pages with white acrylic paint

then scribbled in black fine liner pen over the paint.

I used a stencil to create the scalloped edge

behind the candy stripe strip

Smaller photos were double matted,

the main photo I matted 4 times

Thanks for visiting my space,

Bye for now
