Happy April Everyone !

This month I got to play with one of the fab new collections from Kaisercraft called " in the attic " . This lovely collection has a real vintage feel with a twist of retro. I love the lime green and red shades that they have teamed with the vintage tones of sepias and chocolates.

This month I incorporated the collection into an art journal. Art journalling is extremely popular right now, it allows you to embrace the inner child that is inside Of us all. Everyone can create an art journal it doesn't matter if you can't draw or paint as there are stamps and collage sheets available to put images on your pages. What I love best about art journalling is there are no mistakes and the way you get lost in the process of creating the pages . Art journal pages are unique to the creator and no two pages are ever the same. So here's how this journal was created.....

I stated with one of the fantastic Dylusions art journal. I love these journals as they have a plain cover for you to create your own unique beginning to your journal . These journal also have lovely thick pages for you to ink and wet to your hearts content , so it is fantastic for watercolour effects and the Dylusions ink sprays.

After crating a background using the Dylusions sprays and various stencils , I then set about using elements of the collection on the pages. I used the 12x12 papers , 12x12 sticker sheet and a packet of collectables to create all of the pages . A black Sharpie, a white gel pen, some other embellishments from your stash and your photos (if you choose) will allow you to build your own journal pages , telling your own unique story.

Here is a look at the pages I created ......

Pages 2 Scrap has a fantastic range of art journalling supplies and even runs art journalling classes. If you would like any help selecting your supplies or booking into a class , just call or pop in and see one of their friendly staff.

Thank you so much for stopping by xxxx

I've got some bright happy layouts to share with you this month using Kaisercraft's new Hopscotch collection available from Pages 2 Scrap!

This is a really cute modern line with plenty of birds, flowers, happy sayings as well as some project-life style accents. I'm yet to begin a Project Life but I sure had fun using all the die cuts and papers in my layouts!

This layout shows some of those gorgeous post-modern flower die cuts, LOVE them!

Next is another little layout of Miss Holly...

Loving all the neutrals paired with bright happy colours! There's many great bits and pieces to add dimension to your page, everything here is from the Hopscotch collection (with the exception of those two Prima flowers).

And another page - I'm not a massive Instagram user although I seem to have snapped a lot of pics over summer so thought I'd try a montage of pics from the last month or two - this grid layout was super easy to put together!

Love the torn 'notepaper' cutouts at the top of this paper. And I even managed some proper journalling :)

It's nice to look back at a number of different events on one layout; normally I scrap one event / day / thing at a time, but I like how this covers some of the little things we did over summer... and big things - like starting school!

Next is a 8.5 x 11" page that I've put together using all the green, aqua and chocolate bits from my kit. I wanted to scrap some pics of my brother Greg's wedding although this collection is probably not quite right for wedding pics... but this one fitted in ok!

My hubby Richard and I were absolutely drenched after baking in the sun throughout the garden ceremony in Newcastle last December... it was 42 DEGREES with NO BREEZE and it didn't cool down much even after the thunderstorm late that night. I was feeling for my brother in his 3 piece suit and new sis-in-law Mel sweltering in her beautiful gown!

Everyone needed to hydrate... let's just say the beer and cider didn't last long!

One last page to share...

I've gone a bit mad and added heaps of stickers and die cut shapes to this one; I couldn't resist doing a bike layout with the cute bike die cuts from this collection.

Again, there's lots of pretty bits and pieces to tuck in and under and add a lot of layers to your page. Kaisercraft's packs of die cuts are always good value!

Hope these pages have given you some inspiration - the Hopscotch collection is available from Pages 2 Scrap along with lots of other wonderful new release goodies!

Stay crafty!

Hi there, Leonie here. Can I just say that I LOVED working with this kit that the lovely ladies from Pages 2 Scrap put together this month. Basic Grey's Fact & Fiction is right up my alley - all simple clean lines and bright colours mixed with neutrals, I LOVE IT!  :)

Anyway, here's the layouts that I had heaps of fun creating this month - this collection has some great graphic patterns that contrast without clashing.

How cute are those little coat hanger tags? So many quirky bits and pieces to play with! And Pages 2 Scrap have a great selection of Basic Grey in store.  :)

For me, the best part of the Fact & Fiction collection is those circle stickers! So simple but I love the effect they have coupled together.

And the embroidered fabric brads. Aw, it's all great really! :)

I'm really happy with how this one below turned out - the brads, the circle stickers, the coat hangers - lovin' all the cute details. My little man started kindy this year and I'd only just taken these photos the morning before I scrapped them :)  If only I was that efficient and up to date with all the photos that I want to scrap!

And a close-up... circle stickers and fabric brads with some layered papers and a bit of washi and stitching underneath for texture. 

For this layout, I had two sheets of this beautiful striped blue paper, so I misted one with a bit of cranberry glimmermist, then cut it roughly into strips, wove the strips together and roughly stitched all over the top to create a subtle pattern-on-pattern background. I have used a couple of neutral stickers from my kit and kept it modern but feminine.

I love this photo of Holly eating sand. Pretty sure I've scrapped it before actually but this time I've used a photo editing app to add some rainbow lights to it.

And I love how Basic Grey papers are such lovely quality to work with, with minimal buckling when you mist them.

Hope you enjoyed these little peeks showing some of the ways you can use this awesome collection. Time to pop in to Pages 2 Scrap to pick up more 'Fact and Fiction'! Luv it!

Till next time, stay crafty!

Today I want to share three layouts using the Basic Grey - Lucille Collection (which is named after the famous Lucille Ball).  I found that the colours of the papers go so well with old photos.  It is a very pretty colour palate and is a blend of retro colours and patterns from peachy rose and navy to polka dots and wallpaper prints.  

This collection came as a pack and includes:

1 Pack Woven Tags
1 Pack Vintage Buttons
1 Sheet Alphabet Stickers
1 Sheet Element Stickers
2 Sheets Gather Paper
2 Sheets Wrap Dress Paper
2 Sheets Mini Skirt Paper
1 Sheet Capri

It even gives you instruction on how to do a lovely double layout page and a card.  How good is that?

For my first layout I have used my new Martha Stewart Punch Around the Page - Laurel Leaf punch which I just love as it works well for any page.  How cute are the buttons?

For my second layout I have used lots of flowers, chipboard and one of the element stickers.

For my last layout I have used the metal buttons, element stickers and the woven tags.

Well that is all from me today.  Hope to see you in store soon.

Hi everyone ! Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and new year.


This month we got to play with the wonderful new range from Carta Bella called Devoted.
Since its the month for love, I created a Pot full of love to go with the warm and fuzzy feeling in the air.

The pot is covered with 1 inch stripes of the paper range and lightly coated in gesso and acrylic paint . Some metal embellishments and bling complete the pot.

The flowers where created by using various punches , bling and doilies . They're simply attached to paddle pop sticks and pushed into some foam I added to the inside of the pot .
Adding your favourite family photos is the special finishing touch.

The second piece I made this month is a mini canvas .

With embedded metal to add texture and my favourite Tim Holtz wings , this little canvas frames a special moment perfectly .

Organza rose trim that is new in store is the perfect finishing touch to this piece.

I hope I have inspired you to get scrapping with this gorgeous range.
Thanks for stopping by !
