October Song Title Challenge

Hello everyone, Well it's October and a new month means a new challenge.  This month Mad About Scrappin is having a "Song Title" Challenge and to participate all you have to do is....

....and then share with us on facebook and link it up with the Mad About Scrappin blog.

So guys here is my take on the challenge...

I have chosen "On the Road Again" - not a very imaginative song title I know, but it went perfectly with Kaisercrafts Check in paper collection and with my photo's!! These pics were snapped when we were on holidays in the beautiful North Island of New Zealand.   This was on the road to the Buried Village of Te Wairoa along the Tarawera Road in Rotorua.  In front of us were the stunning Blue and Green Lakes.

To create the title I have used the letter sheet from the collection.  I added some glimmer sprays, inking and stamping to the background.  The ring and splat stains are from the Kaisercraft stamp set "Stains".  I stamped these with Tim Holtz Distress ink in Walnut Stain and also added some random stamping using the "Sketchy" set from Kaisercraft.

 I have added some cutouts from the paper pad and also embellishments from the co-ordinating Check in collectibles pack.

 Well that is it from me, yet another quick post.  I do hope you have enjoyed my take on this month's challenge and I look forward to seeing what you all create for this.  Remember it doesn't have to be a layout...it could be a card, a tag or maybe an off the page project!!

Altered Wooden Frames

Hey there readers today I am sharing two altered wooden frames using supplies from the Mad About Scrappin Store and some scraps of Scrap booking paper and tissue paper.

My first frame - "Believe" was created using stamped tissue paper.  I first painted the wooden frame with some Kaisercraft "Antique White" acrylic paint.

Whilst I was waiting for that to dry I grabbed my extra large script stamp; jet black stazon ink and some tissue paper. After stamping my tissue paper I laid it over my frame and mod podged it down.....verrrrrry carefully!!

 Once the mod podge had dried I finished it off with another coat of acrylic paint, just to lighten up the dark text a little. I also inked up the frames edges with some Tim Holtz Vintage Photo distress ink.  Once the frame had completely dried I then began gluing all the gorgeous flowers and lace.  The flowers are: 

Elise Satin Blooms - Cream

Maddison Chiffon Blooms - Black

 The "beleive" is one of the laser cut flexible words in black.  These can be found under the Embellishments - Laser Cut Cardstock Words in the shop.  

To finish the frame off I have added some bling flourishes from my stash and some lace around the outside edge.

I haven't very many process photos of the second frame....well in fact I only have just this one ..... sorry guys I guess I just get on a roll with it and totally forget about taking pics.   One of the first things I did with this frame was to give it a base coat in pink acrylic paint and once it dried I put a liberal coat of crackle medium on it and waited for it to dry. I then added the top coat with some white acrylic paint and set it aside once more to dry.

Whilst it was drying I dug out some scraps of paper from an old Kaisercraft collection pad called Precious Moments... I roughly tore these papers to fit the frame and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet distress ink.

To decorate I have used some paper flowers from the Curly roses pastel collection  and two little Forget Me Nots from the new pastel collection that are currently available in the Mad About Scrappin shop

The word "Dream" is another one of the Laser Cut Cardstock words in white and I have added some Kindyglitz - Chrystalline and inked the edges with Tim Holtz Victorian Velvet distress ink.

Shabby Chic Wall Hanging

Hello again readers, today I am back with a product share for Mad About Scrappin.  I have created a shabby chic wall hanging from these three mini canvas boards.

 Sorry guys I don't really have any process photos.  I have used more of the Kaisercraft 6.5 x 6.5 paper pad On This Day. These papers are so soft and subtle I have loved working with them.  Please be sure to check out the Mad About Scrappin shop to see the current range of Kaisercraft in stock.  I have covered each of my little boards with co-ordinating papers. Each little board measures 4x4.  So the hanger is quite small - but long!!

I have used paper roses and forget me knots to decorate the "top" corner.  It is layered on some white lace and a piece of applique from my stash.  I have added some bling and pearl trim.  The rub on is an oldie from Kaisercraft.

In the second panel I have matted a photo and added more of the same bling. I used more of the Kaisercraft rub-ons and a cutout that you find in the back of the 6.5 x 6.5 paper pads. I finished of the bottom with more of the white lace;  pearl trim and a seam binding bow.

My last panel has another saying rub on from Kaisercraft; pearl trim; white lace; seam binding bow; paper roses and forget me knots and another piece of applique.

 I have strung or hung all my panels onto some white seam binding and added bow to the top.

It is a little hard to photograph... but I have some more close ups for you ...

Please be sure to check out the Mad About Scrappin Shop and come join us for Flog it Friday on Facebook...just like the page to be apart of all the fun.  Oh and don't forget to follow the blog!!

Till next time remember to .....

Altered Cassette Case

Hi everyone, back again with another project to share with you all.  I found this really cool idea on Pinterest one night whilst I was browsing from my phone.  I wish I had pinned it to one of my boards, because when I went to try and find it again I couldn't.  I have seen a lot of these old cassette cases transformed into gorgeous stickpin holders, but not that many to hold a your mobile phone, ipod or similar devices.

I have used  the lovely Miss Match papers from Kaisercraft and totally covered all sides of the case.

 I have embellished it with some of the lovely Coral Lillies and some white 1cm Roses.  I have added a string of the ivory pearl bead trim and some fine off white lace.

I have quite a few of the cases stashed out in the shed.  I think I will be dusting them off to create some more for Christmas gifts.  Thanks for joining me today.  

Till next time remember to .....

November Sketch Challenge

Hi, I am here today to show you my take on Anne Patterson Sketch. I have to say I LOVED doing this sketch and has to be one of my fav layouts that I have done this yr. Since it was an Anne Patterson sketch I was going to do stitching, but in the end decided against it and went with doodling.
Here is the sketch:

And here is my take:

The sketch just screamed to me to use a photo of each of my girls. I have used one of the new Kaisercraft stamps (they are sold out ) and stamped in the area of where the paper squares were going. I also lightly misted.

The paper range I used is Fancy Pants 'Collecting Moments' (Head here to find in store) The butterflies are from the range, I used a die and my die machine to cut them out.

The squares are 4x4. After distressing the edges I used black pen and doodled around each one.

The title is from Jilibean Soup (Head here to find them). 
Thanks it for me today,
Thanks for looking
Belinda :) Pin It Now!
