Creative Inspiration - Week 29 2015

Just a super quick share today....

Just wanted to show you the last thing I created using up the last scraps of MME Wild Berry Paper range.

This week I created a fun card for a special girl that had her fifth birthday not that long ago.

Because I wanted to mix it up a little I have stamped birthday words using Dove Grey Stazon ink onto the heart paper. I Then stamped the number 5 using Black Stazon ink. This has helped add a bit of dimension to the card. 

By adding a largesatin bow I have kept it simple on a recycled card base. I have then printed a digital image and coloured her using some of  my mepxy markers. Added some kindy glitz to the cake sprinkles for a bit of sparkle and then  adhered the image using 3D foam tape. 

Simple but effective card for a special little girl.

Are you getting creative this weekend ?

I am and cannot wait to share with you all a new paper range I have received.

Till then.

Creative Inspiration - Week 28 2015

Good morning everyone.

Wow... another super busy week here. In between getting kids back to school after school holidays I have been juggling getting sorted for study, calisthenics preparations and have had multiple doctors appointments from one end of town to the other.

Now.. I have the last layout I created a few weeks ago that I was super bad and didn't share to show you this week. 

I played around with the last bits and pieces from the MME Wild Berry paper range that Leanne sent me.

So here's the layout I had created to share....

I love the bold lime green in this paper range. I have really made it pop by matting it onto some black card stock as my base for the layout. I have to admit too to always smiling myself every time I see this photo of my youngest daughter. It kinda makes me giggle. I mean we always seem to document the good moods and the smiles.. however this particular day my daughter was just not happy. I was running around with camera madly snapping away and managed to snap her looking this this. I said smile and this was the look I got. lol. 

No to add a little bit extra I have played around with a few ticket stubs from my stash. I have then layered a mix of a kraft paper bag, washi tape and some stickers from my stash which all matched perfectly with the bright bold paper range. I love the nylon rosette too. Adds a bit of a feminine feel without being too girlie. 

I have added a bit of detail to the layout too by hand stitching with some white floss on the black. I love the feel of the stitching on a layout. I then finished off the layout with some acylic alphas from my stash which I added a bit of sparkle to with some kindy glitz.

Super quick layout to create but heaps of fun.

Well.. back to the scrapping grind stone.. have a fun card to share with you tomorrow.

Creative Inspiration - Week 26 2015

Hello all. 

I have been busy this week with a mix of scrapping, studies and looking after kids. 

 I have also had a chance to play around with a bit more of the MME - Wild Berry paper range. 

So here the layout that I have created this week to share.

I have created a layout using another photo of my daughter just before her Graceful Girl performance. The floral papers from this paper range matched perfectly with the colours of her costume. 

I have included a few home made digital cards in the muted grey colours to match in with the grey striped washi tape I have used as my border. 

I found some metallic card stock in my stash that I really wanted to add some sparkle with to my layout. I used a wooden vine template from my stash to create the metallic vines. Must say I quite enjoyed getting some fussy cutting done this week. It was quite therapeutic.

I had a journal date spot from Mad About Scrappin, that matched perfecting with the blues in this paper range. I then had some matching glitter alphas that I have finished off the layout with to create a title. I love the feel of this layout. It looks very feminine and have a lot of dimension with the vines that I have created. 

Once again quite a simple layout using a mix of the floral and plain paper from the MME - Wild Berry range to create this girl layout.

Creative Inspiration - Week 25 2015

Good morning everyone.

Back this week to share with you a very quick layout using some more of the MME Wild Berry paper range I have been sent to play with  from Mad About Scrappin.

So here's the full layout I have created this week to share with you.

I have used some kraft card stock for the base of this layout as I wanted a completely different feel to this layout. More of a home crafty feel. I have then mixed it up with the patterns from this paper range and used a mix of patterns. I must say I love the look of them all on the kraft card stock. 

To add a bit of dimension I have used a mix of chipboard numbers from my stash. I have coloured them all black to tie them all together and mixed up the sizes. They were then all adhered to help frame the bottom of the pattern paper at the bottom. I love mixing black and white with the bold colours of this paper range. I have also added lined paper bag to the layout as I find it adds that little extra without adding too much.  to tie the black of the numbers to the layout I have added the black Polaroid frame. Then added a little bit of sparkle with the fuchsia wire which I wasn't too sure about until the layout all finally came together. By keeping the photo black and white it has then completed the look I was trying to achieve. It also helped me to be able to pull off a pink based layout of my son without it looking too feminine.

I had some kraft coloured tags ion my stash from a previous Mad About Scrappin sale which I have used to create a bit of feature to the layout. I have then added a few matching stickers from my stash to add a bit of dimension and interest to finish off the layout.

Super easy and quite fun to play with.

Well off to get some things sorted for the next kit.

Till next time.

Creative Inspiration - Week 24 2015

Oh My Goodness!!! It has been freezing here in Adelaide, South Australia this past week.

Perfect weather though to be scrapping away with some more of the Wild Berry paper range by MME I have been playing with for Mad About Scrappin.

This week I firstly created a few cards from bits and pieces from the product range. 

We have had a few birthday here over the past week so I have been busily creating cards.

Here's the cards I have had fun creating.

Both cards were super easy and quick to make. 

I kept them simple as things have been a little crazy here. 

The first card was for my Auntie's birthday. I stuck with the black and white colours from the paper range on a black card base. I then teamed it up with a silver doily and a large satin ribbon. I then played around with a digital image I have printed onto some canson paper. I then coloured in with some mepxy markers and added some clear dew drops to the centres of some of the flowers. I adhered it to the card using some 3D foam tape to add dimension

The second card was for my daughters friends 8th birthday. I loved the heart pattern from this range. I then played around with this teaming it up with white card stock and a white doily on a recycled card base. I then added a big white satin bow. Once again  I then played around with a digital image I have printed onto some canson paper I hand coloured with my mepxy markers to match the colours of the hearts on the pattern paper. To finish her off I have added a bit of sparkle with some iridescent glitter to her wings. 

 The cards were then finished off with some medium sized alpha stickers to add the greetings I wanted.

Lastly I had fun creating another pocket letter using some of the MME paper range. 

Super fun and bright. Focused on the floral theme of the paper range and teamed it up with the hot pink dots. I managed to find a few washi tapes that worked perfectly with this paper range to finish it off nicely. Cant wait to get it into the post to my pocket pal.

Well off to get some more scrap work done.

Till next week.

Creative Inspiration - Week 23 2015

Good Morning..

Today I am sharing with you  a layout that I have created using this bright and bold paper range by MME - Wild Berry.

I was very lucky to be sent this paper to play with in this months kit. I couldn't wait to get into it as the colours really just pop out at you.

Here's this weeks layout in full.

Okay.. I have to admit that at first I may have felt a little intimidated by the bold large print of some of the paper range. However once I got cutting it up and mixing it around I found that it really worked well. I have also managed to use up some old tags from my stash that worked well for this. 

I really have layered up the mixed patterns in this layout. They all work so well together. I found some cute arrow tag stickers in my stash too that matched perfectly to add a bit of feature here and there to the layout too. Then tied the date to the page by framing it with a black mini Polaroid frame. super cute to play with. 

You can see the cute bird on a wire washi tape just peeking through there too that I was sent to play with too. I just love it and the colours of the birds work perfectly with this paper range. Helps too to create the whimsical look I wanted to record my daughters crazy birthday party fun. 

Quiet a fun layout to create using some fun paper.

looking forward to sharing more from this paper range.

Get creative.
