Last ever Scrap Tiffany DT project

Sad to say but Tiffany is not continuing on with her scrappy blog. Sob. It's been wonderful to work with the lovely ladies that make up her DT and Tiffany herself of course. All very wonderful people.

Here is my card for the sketch challenge set this month. It's called Remember When and has old movie stars featured in it.

June ArTastic sub - Pier 17

Firstly, please excuse the quality of the photos. It's a dull, rainy day here today.

Here is my submission for June's ArTastic challenge. You need to use a boat, stripey paper and have 2 people in your photo.

The photos are from our trip to New York. We browsed through all the shops at Pier 17. The boys are out on the deck of the pier with a tall sailing ship in the background. The view of the Pier itself is from on the Brooklyn Bridge.

Road Trip Week 2 - a layout and a card

This week on Red Earth Scrapping's road trip we have travelled to the north of WA (my State) to Lake Argyle. Never been myself but it looks amazing.

Here is my card. You had to have a bird on it. I had this gorgeous bird by K&Co. I took a twig from my garden and glued it on the card for somewhere for the bird to perch. The Prima goodies offset the card perfectly I think. I love how it turned out.


The criteria for the layout was pink. For an extra ticket we were to use an item in the rescue kit that matches. If you look at the lady poodle she is wearing some bling. The special item matches this perfectly. This display was in the Grand Central Terminal in NY. It was so tall and so stunning I just was in absolute awe. Paul took some photos too. He took the top right one, I'm actually taking a photo in the photo. I hand made the two flowers. I used rose patterned tissue paper. They are quite pretty I think.



Products used:
Glitz maya patchwork PP
Creative Memories pink flower PP
Mrs Grossman's Vintage Lace stickers
Flourish with a bling plum pearls
hand made rose tissue paper flowers
Creative Memories journal box sticker
rhinestones

Road Trip - Week 1

Hi everybody,

I've bought myself a ticket to ride the bus on Red Earth Scrapping's 12 week tour. You can see my little ad on the right hand side at the top of my blog.

Week 1 is a visit to Cowra. We have to make a layout using the word "peace" in the title and include a secret embellie from the kit that was available for purchase. We had to guess which item to use but I tell you, it wasn't hard.  We also had to make a card using origami folding. Easy peasy. I taught a whole workshop on this once. Also have done a workshop myself in the Sydney Chinese Gardens.

From Screen 2 Scrap reveal - THE LAND

Hi all,

The new poster for From Screen 2 Scrap is "UP". It's such a fun movie poster. Why not have a go at it this month?

Here is my take on it. It's called The Land as in the part of Epcot in Disneyworld, Florida called The Land. It was our first stop of our day at Epcot. The boys and Paul went on the ride Soarin' which I felt might make me sick so I decided to forgo it. I went and had breakfast instead. Cold tea, yuck, french toast with maple syrup and fried potatoes. What a weird breaky, seriously.
Anyway, here is my layout. Check out From Screen 2 Scrap for the rest of the details.

Scrap Tiffany using Kaisercraft

Hi everyone,

The first of the month is here. Yay. It's always an exciting time.
I got some nice happy mail today from a win on Facebook from D-Lish Scraps. Lots of embellies to use on my future projects. A lovely surprise.

Today is challenge day at Scrap Tiffany. We had to use our favourite Designer's products. I chose to use Kaisercraft. I'm really pleased with my card. I've also included a tiny Creative Memories snail sticker and title sticker. Can you see the little snail? He was the perfect colour match. Plus, I've hand-stitched a couple of lace flowers which I wanted to incorporate too.

Pop over to Scrap Tiffany to see what the other Designers did.
