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.

Altered Little Bird House

Hi and welcome to my creative inspiration share for Mad About Scrappin.  Today I have this tiny little birdhouse. It only measures aproximately 3"x4" or roughly 8cm x 11cm.  Along with this little birdhouse, this months kit also included the gorgeous paper pad Junque Gypsy from Marion Smith.   There are so many beautiful prints in this collection that I found it awful hard to cut them up.

Once I decided on my papers, I painted my little birdhouse with some white gesso.  whilst I was waiting for this to dry, I pulled out some paper scraps to make a template for the front of the birdhouse from.  Once I had marked all the holes and the placement of the little perches I then traced this template to my papers.  

I have distressed all the edges and left them white.  

I cut some 1 inch strips that I then used this border punch on to get a scalloped looking roof.  I also cut each of the scallops and rolled them up just a touch so that the ends would curl.

Once all my papers were glued on, I started decorating with soft baby pink roses that I have in my stash and some were also from a few Mad About Scrappin previous kits.  The little bird is from my stash as was the bling, ribbon, lace and pearl bead string.

Her are some more close ups on the details.....

So there you have it guys.  My cute wee little birdhouse.  This was so much fun to create and it was done in no time at all.   

Oh just one more thing....I have added some of these little clear protectors to the base to use as "feet".

Well readers, that is is it from me this week.  Thanks for stopping by and as always please click the links below to see what my fellow creative team has to share.  Also be sure to check out what kits are available this month in the store....

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.
