Digi Kits fun

You gotta love digital scrap booking supplies!!!

Love how flexible they are and last kit I got to play with from MyGrafico was no exception!
I was sent some Dilek Designs paper

and some LA.LA. Studio digi stamps

to work with this time round...

I printed the paper onto textured card stock that I had here and it turned out amazing. The paper was so yummy to play with and really lends itself to all sorts of creations.

Here's a close up of the embellishments

Lots of stamp and hand cutting for this layout.. but SOOOOOOO worth it. Great therapy too! LOL!

Here's the full layout

Why not pop over to MYGRAFICO and see what they have in store. I know you will like what you see as I did. So many yummy things there to play with.

An old one I found...

Haven't shared this one yet.. been busy creating and found it in my album of layout to photograph with a few layouts thats still to have photos added to.
This layout is about the chores that are involved with being a parent.. which I am sure we all know about!

Played around with my Helmar Acid Free Glue on the stamped image for this one.. loved the dimension it gave to the image.

First Lot of TSO Layouts

Have been extremely lucky to have become a part of The Scrappers Outlet Design Team this month. I am extremely excited to be working with a truly amazing team.

When I came back from our trip away to the Flinders at Easter I was lucky to find my Design Team pack sitting waiting for me on the porch.

My fingers were itching to get started because of all the yummy goodies that were in the pack.

Thanks again guys for the pack I LOVED it all and had so much fun creating. I managed to get 3 LO's created and have a little left over that I am hoping to get a card made with at a later date.

I was sent this to play with -
PP = Imaginisce - Live Loud
American Craft Ribbon
7 Gypsies 3 in 1 parentheses trio stamp
MME Magnolia Serene "Letters"

From my own stash -
Cardstock
Material scrap
Floss
Own Alphas
Glimmer Mist
Kindy Glitz

Here's what I created.

Layout 1 - Zoo Doo


Layout 2 - Rockstar


Layout 3- Friends

First post for a new design team !!!

Okay.. can share a little news with you all if you haven't noticed it so far on my blog...

I have made it onto a new design team!

I have been lucky to have been offered a spot on the design team for Amy Mattes Designs.

She does some amazing work with digital kits. You can can find her work here for sale at really affordable prices too!

This month I was given the opportunity to play with the Printable Bloom Flower Clip art Graphics. Talk about being really yummy to play with and hand cut!

So here's the layout I came up with..

I printed my own digi paper by using the blooms to create a background paper using the flowers repetitively on a blank document. I also printed to scallop in large format and then hand cut two scallop borders out. I then used my 1/4" circle hand punch to punch out the holes.

Here's a close up of some of the flowers..

I gave them a bit of dimension by layering two different sizes and then adhering them down using Helmar Zapdots. Couldn't leave them all flat and boring!

Why not head over to Amy Mattes Designs to check out the shop and what everyone else has created.

Making a big Helmar mess!

Okay.. I can share a sneak peek of this with you all now !

It has gone to it's new home in Port Lincoln.. though where it is going to be displayed is in much debate in it's new home!

It's a canvas I created for my Sister and niece.

Here's a close up of the flowers I made using plenty of Helmar favourites to embellish the canvas




Was very pleased with the final effect and the texture on it was amazing.

I know my job was made a lot easier with the help of some Helmar adhesives!

To check out the full canvas, head over to the Helmar Design Team blog.
