March Sketch- Photo with Dad

Hi, I am here to show you today my take on the March Sketch. I tell you what I am LOVING the sketches!!! So easy to create with and make it to your style.

This is my daughter and her Dad on her first day at Kindy (3yrs ago, where is the time going???) First days of school is one of the few photos we get with the kids.

I have create my own background using mist and stencils and the layered the paper like the sketch. I have used Frames and Flowers for the embellishments.

With a punch, i punched a bit here and there from the border and then added some more embellishments on the right hand side.

Instead of having a title with the same alpha stickers, i wrote some for something different. Here is the March Sketch:

2 very different layouts using Heidi Swapp Paper

Hi I am here to show you that with 1 range of papers you can create a very mix media layout and a not so mix media layout. I did this using the awesome Heidi Swapp range that is HERE and, of course, loads of MAS products.
First up the not so mix layout. I say it this way as I did create the background using texture paste, mask and mist but compared to the other one is not really mix media.

I got the White Cardstock and created the background as I said above so I ended up with a green background.

After cutting the paper into 4 inch squares and gluing to the card I drewed around it all using a Black Pen. Then I added these awesome Flowers

The words 'Love and Together' was added last. A quick page but man do I love the bright colours!!!

Onto my very mixed media page. For the background I kept one Heidi Swapp paper as my background and cut the 2nd sheet up in strips and glued them on the page, leaving space in between to see the background on. I then added gesso over some of the cut lines.

After that was dried I added these stunning Frames after I painted them with a slight colour. Then I added bits of Lace.

I cut up and added a different kind of Frame under my photo and then used lots of the new Flowers that has come in.

A close up of the Frames, Lace and Flowers.
I hope you like these 2 layouts and get more use out of the ranges that you get. All MAS products have been highlighted and when clicked on will take you to it in the store.
Don't forget there are NEW BRANDS coming to MAS soon!!!!
Thanks for looking

Beach Girls (February Sketch Challenge)

Hi Belinda here today to show you my take of the February Sketch Challenge. The best thing about sketches is the way you can make it your own. This sketch was meant to have 4 photos but instead I have used 1 big one.

I created my background using paint, Kaisercraft Stamps and Gelatos.

Instead of paper I have used Washi tape (head HERE to see MAS range of tape)

Loved using the Prima Alphas. They where ones that you could mist/painted them. I have misted these ones with orange mist.

I had such a ball doing this sketch that i made another!!! But I will show you that one another time. I am loving all the entries so far and am hoping to see more.
Here is the a reminder of what the sketch looks like:

Also remember that MAS has a New Release sale happening NOW!!!! Head HERE to see all the latest stuff.

Cards with a bit of stamping

Belinda back today to show you how a little bit of stamping can make a card. And it does not have to be much, a saying a little pic or just 'Happy Birthday'. and stamps can be used over and over again!!!

I have used my left over paper from 'I Love Candy' Echo Park Range ( check it out Here) plus stamps in my stash

First up is a very simple card. After sticking down the strips of paper in the right and left hand side I stamped the stamp with a bit overlapping the paper. The 'No matter' is a sticker from the collection. My hubby just loves this card (which is a first lol)

After layering the paper I stuck the chocolate bar (from the candy range) and stamped a saying. It says ' Life brings simple pleasures to us every day. It is up to us to make them wonderful memories' Cathy Allen (works well with that chocolate) The hearts are also stickers from the range.

The background was a die that I cut from one of the papers from the Candy range and so is the 'Sweet' die. I then added from seam binding (that you can get HERE) sequins (go HERE for them) and a little stamp 'a little something for a little someone'. 

All 3 were made in 35 mins. Awesome for the time short people (like me)

Mini Album Part 1

Hi Belinda here today to show you pt 1 of my mini album. And its all about my middle daughter. The photos are highlights of her life but also are ones that I had not scrapped before. So there is no birthday photos as I have already scrapped them (loads of times lol ). I also have used photos that might not be a great photo but still hold special memories. The whole album I have used Kaisercraft 'The Looking Glass' collection. Check it out here, it was an awesome range to work with.

First up is the first photo of my 2 girls and me when Iona was 2 days old. I have journaled around the edge of the paper and used heaps of MAS flowers

2nd page and its Iona's first time in the cot. More MAS flowers (head HERE for their awesome range)

Next 2 pages is about Iona's 1st Christmas. Along with the paper I have used hessian behind each photo. I have also stamped on the Kaisercraft paper with a stamp that has the word' believe' on it

Again loads of MAS flowers and journalling around the edges.

The last 2 I am showing you today is 2 different events but happened within a few weeks of each other. This one was the day my girl went from a cot to her big bed. I have used loads of Washi Tape and flowers from MAS and the banners are from the 'Looking Glass' sticker sheet.

This one is about the day my oldest girl but pegs in their hair. MAS has a fab range of Washi Tape and you can see it HERE. Well thats it from me today. But if you want to keep up with all the latest news/products head to either the facebook page HERE or their blog, HERE. Challenges start up next month with it going through the blog this time.

Fun In The Sun

Hi Belinda here today to show you my take on the January Sketch by Anne Patterson. Since its the middle of summer I could not but do a layout about the beach.

I did change a few things from the sketch but that's the best thing about sketches, they are a starting point. I also added lots of journaling around the edges of the paper.

I used the awesome Teresa Collins 'Memories' range. The title is stamped as some shells (trying to get more out of stamps, I will have a post on cards that I used stamps on coming up). I also used shells that was picked up from the beach that day.

This was not part of the sketch wanted to show some more beachy things.

And here is the sketch. I just love how this can be interpreted in sooo many different ways. As of next month the sketches go back to being a challenge for everyone to enter. There will be a linky thing on this blog to link up the challenges. There will be 2 awesome prizes up for grabs, gotta love that!!!  Thanks for looking Belinda :) Pin It Now!

He was a surfer boy...

Hello, I am here today to show you my take on this months sketch by Anne Patterson. I just LOVE her sketch's. This one I did my using cardstock and no pattern paper. Instead I used ribbon and lace.
Here is my layout:

This is my nephew playing on a beach in W.A

I created the background by using stencils, gelatoes, mist, glitter glue, embossing powder, bandage and beads.

This photo is on a angel but shows the ribbon and lace I used instead of paper. I was trying to use up the many that I have collected over the years.
Here is the sketch:
