Take Notes ...

September 14th 2013

My reminder post for our Autumn/Fall Challenge at the Just Some Lines Blog - there are some great new release "Fall" images especially for this months challenge available at the store.

My creation today is a little altered notebook. I covered the notebook with some gorgeous coloured Japanese paper, fussy cut this cute JSL image, added some fibre/texture and the little letters! 

Make sure you are a fan or our Facebook page as there are always special freebies and goodies there!!

Boy oh Boy reminder

September 14th 2013

My ATC for today uses a great "boy" image from Michelle Perkett - Michelle has lots of gorgeous images available at her Etsy Store!

Mini Dancer...

September 12th 2013

Today I am sharing another mini journal page I have decorated using this gorgeous "Bearly a Ballerina" image from Sandra Caldwell available from the Queen Kat Designs Store.

Background has been made similarly to the July Calendar Journal pages I shared a few days ago - square ink pads applied directly to the page and as these did not seem to want to dry I coated the entire page with sparkly embossing powder and heat embossed it to seal it all - and I do love the effect! You can see the bit of sparkle in the pictures. My little ballerina has been coloured with Copics, fussy cut and adhered to the page along with some die cut ballerina slippers!

I am entering my page in the September Challenge at the Sparkle and Sprinkle Creative Challenges Blog - theme is "Anything Goes with Glitter, Embossing Powder and/or Flocking" and as I have embossed the whole background page with glittery & gold powder I think this will qualify!!

Boy Oh Boy...

July Calendar Pages

September 9th 2013

Well I am a few months behind with my Calendar Journal pages for The Kathryn Wheel so I am madly trying to catch up! 

I just love these pages! I used a gorgeous image from Michelle Perkett and I know some of you will wonder about a wintery looking July but I live in Australia and July means Winter LOL!! 

Image is coloured with Copic Markers and a bit of liquid applique added to the hats and snowball. Background was inked with my very old Artnic cubes and whatever other little square ink pots I had sitting around - I can't tell you how old some of these were and some disintegrated whilst I was using them on these pages but I love the effect and it was a great way to "use" some of them up and then throw them away!

I stamped a Dylusions stamp border at the top & bottom of each page and smudged a bit of red ink on each corner. Numbers were stamped on and I outlined some of the ink stamped boxes to make the days of the month.

Now I really need to get August & September pages done!!

Cheers!
