Scrapping with Gelati Colours

Hello there.

The first of each month is always an exciting date because it's reveal time over at Scrap Around The World. This month is extra special though as it's our second birthday which also means it's our annual Epic Event! There are heaps of extra prizes - over $2,000 worth! First prize is a whopping $150 gift voucher from our very own Dusty Attic. Plus our previous winners get to compete for the Top 10 players of the season!

Here's the luscious and almost edible new mood board, by SATW's founder, Helen Tilbury. You can find all the details of the challenge here.


I adore the gelati colours in this. I took my inspirations from the colours but also from the picture of the ice-cream. The idea of licking an ice-cream reminded me that I had a very old photo of my daughter licking the beaters after her nana had made a cake. This photo is poor quality but still begged to be scrapped. 

Here's what I made:



I'm still using Webster's pages in so much of my work lately. I just used up scraps behind the photo on this one.



My mum used to spoil my kids rotten when she babysat them!



The title is made with a Heidi Swapp die.

Off The Rails in April

Hi there!

I'm back today with a layout I made using the seriously awesome April mood board for Off The Rails. Or should I say 'mood boards' as there were two to choose from!

Here they are:



I chose to use the first one as I loved the silver glitter with the lime green. Here's what I made:




To make the background, I first took a sheet of Webster's Pages Hall Pass 'Field Goal' paper and applied gesso through a Crafter's Workshop stencil:




I then rubbed a Gelato through another stencil, first by applying it directly to the stencil, then by rubbing it in further with my finger:




I then added some stamping - I used some frame stamps and some Kaisercraft 'Film Edges' stamps:




This is what it looked like when I had finished the background:




I then added a strip of chipboard chevrons from The Dusty Attic which I painted white and staggered behind my photo. I added some flowers, leaves and chevrons that were fussy-cut from Webster's Pages Beautiful Chic 'In Bloom' paper plus some silver twine:




The title and triangles are both from The Dusty Attic and I coated them with Beck BT's Tinby Designs Metallic Melts. I love the textural, sparkly finish on these:



 Happy scrappin'!

By the Sea in April

Hi there!


Have you seen the new mood board at Scrap Around The World yet? What an inspirational beauty! You can find this month's challenge here. Make sure you check out the rules here.

Here's the very inspirational and beautiful mood board bHera Sugitani:


It's enough to want you go digging out those holiday pics, isn't it! That's exactly what I started to do until I remembered some photos that my brother sent me from his recent trip.

Here's what I made:



I was just thinking to myself that this layout is for Scrap Around The World and it's about a photo taken on a remote beach in Western Australia. That's one of the great things about an international scrap site - we get to see gorgeous photos from all over the world!

I really love this photo. I love the silliness of half of my brother's head and his car in stark contrast to the sparse scenery. I wanted to enhance that feeling of space so I kept this page uncluttered. I created the background with watercolours and highlighted the triangular design with a pencil. I added starfish across the top of the page and just sprinkled a few beads around then added some thread for a bit of texture without detracting from the pic.


I'm not normally one for hand-cutting alphas as I have sooo many chippie ones as well as Thickers, but I really wanted this size and the Webster's Pages paper was perfect. I used some gorgeous Dusty Attic chippies to add a few highlights but still kept the layout sparse to match the photo.




I hope you can enter the Scrap Around The World challenge this month. Don't forget we have heaps of prizes!

ALL OUR PRIZES ALWAYS INCLUDE FREE INTERNATIONAL POSTAGE!!
