Wow what a blast it has been being part of the crew at Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft. I have adored playing with the products, getting my mixed media on and sharing my creations with everyone. Today sadly is my last post as part of the guest design team.
Here is the layout with video I created as my last project.
It has been a while but I just couldn't go past this case file from CSI. I have always loved their challenges I think because they definitely challenge you at a higher level. This one sure did that, but in the main I love that it challenged me to document a pretty important part of our life 'the story of our relationship' I found another wedding photo not yet scrapped and it couldn't have been more perfect... funny how that happens sometimes!
Here is the layout I created:
Here also is the challenge I was working to:
I solved the case with a mixed media background, jewels in the form of glitter, stamping (was on the background I started with) and mistable elements (lots of spraying going on in this one)
I also wrote a story in the form of a fairytale.
Here is a video showing how the layout came together:
I had so much fun creating this and being challenged by the case file. I also love that it inspired me to document how the two of us met which I hadn't yet done :)
I'll leave you with some more detail pictures so you can get up nice and close with the layout
I used some of my favourite products in creating this layout:
You can see how I used them in the video, so be sure to head on over and check it out :)
Also to let you know if you don't already, I will be teaching a mixed media layout at the Papercraft and Scrapbook Expo in Brisbane June 7-9. I think there is a spot available on the Saturday and a couple on the Monday after I opened some more spots after previously selling out so quick. Unfortunately due to room size no futher spots will be opened once sold out.
New die release is around the corner for Spellbinders and they will be celebrating this as a June Jamboree! How exciting! I am totally even more excited as I am going to be taking part in the sharing of inspiring projects for you to create for yourself!
In the mean time I thought I would share a couple of layouts that were recently published in Scrapbook and Beyond Magazine in the US.
This first was published a little while ago but I'm a bit behind on sharing my published work so stay tuned for more.
This layout is in the current Issue of Scrapbooking and beyond and I must say I can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
I was SO THRILLED to have my work featured in there! You can even order this magazine from anywhere in the world... can't wait to get my hands on my copy!
Hope to have some more of my published work up REAL soon!
Today I have a project up on the spellbinders Blog using 'label' dies in a different way than it's exact intended use. I really enjoyed creating this layout from my boy's recent 3rd birthday party. Hope you enjoy it too!
To create this layout I have used the following dies:
Here is a sneak, and head on over to the blog HERE to see the full post including step by step on how to create this layout
Have some fun creating and I hope I have inspired you to use your dies in a different way today
The Expo is only 2 weeks away and I'm getting REALLY excited with everyone that has supported my classes in abundance (even had to open more spots as they sold out so quickly).
I wanted to let everyone know that I will also be doing demos for Faber-Castell Australia on using Gelatos, which lots of you know I love using so so much! Come past the stand in the morning and in the afternoon to say hi, learn some techniques and see gelatos in action.
I also wanted to take some time to share my dear friend and design team member Heather McMahon's class. She is teaching a free style class where you get to learn LOADS of techniques and also individualise your page a little while having numerous layout examples to work from. Definitely a must do class!
