Guest Designing

..........over at Twiddleybitz.
I am sooooo excited, happy and honoured to be asked by Nic and Andrew to join this amazing team for April and May. This is my 1st Guest DT spot, so along with my excitement comes a little nervousness.
Twiddleybitz have so many talented and creative ladies, click on the Twiddley link to have a look and be inspired. I .have been busy playing and creating with the  beautiful Twiddleybitz products.  .
Finally something to share..............

{ 18 today }

The Twiddleybitz products I have used are:
Diamond Overlay Single Photo, ( i smeared gesso around the edges and when almost dry I inked it with a script stamp)
Wave Banner, ( I used part of the banner, used my finger to smear a small amount of gesso onto each flag then did the same with the ink colours then  lightly stamped it with a script stamp)
Bag of Hearts, (left it nude...I love nude chipboard)
Musical notes, ( inked them) .
These product can all be found over on the Twiddleybitz ning.

Thanks to everyone who stops by and leaves me lovely comments.
Have a great weekend.... I'm off to do some more scrapping.. and will be back soon with another share.

A  big thank you to Tiff for helping me  photograph this layout better.. My camera is set on  auto and that is where it stays. Tiff suggested I try a different setting /white balance and wow I cannot believe the difference between the two. Thanks, much appreciated Tiff,  I'm so grateful for your help.

summer sunday

{Summer Sunday}

My first layout for Scrap Sanity.

The challenge involved a sketch and  the criteria "lets get messy".

I continue my love for cardboard, distressing, stitching and using glimmermist.

Who would have thought 12 months ago I was frightened to even tear a  piece of paper, let alone flick and spray glimmermist over my page  and daub some paint here and there..

I still remember my Dear Mum saying to me...."Janice, its only a piece of paper, tear it"  Thanks Mum xx

Happy Scrapping.

Good Day

{ Good Day }

I printed this photo onto a transparency and backed it with a piece of distressed paper.  The photo is set  back in the page using mounting tape. I have used a mix of  kaiserkraft and prima flowers, a prima vine, glimmermisted the orange flowers and gauze, used shells from the beach, some twine and some fishing line..

 Have a wonderful week.
Thanks for stopping by.

February sketch challenge at  Scrapboxx

enjoy

It is my turn to set  a challenge for the scrappers challenge at  Scrapboxx 

Scrappers Challenge #24

I enjoy trying new recipes and I hope you do too!!!!

So my challenge to you is to scrap a page about anything you wish, as many photos as you would like....

BUT the ingredients are going to be different for all of us..

use the letters from your first name to get the ingredients for your page

eg.  J- journaling, journal tags, jigsaw piece

      A-alphas or anything

      N- numbers, notes

      I-ink

      C-cluster,clock,cardboard,charm

      E-embellishment

it must be scrapbook related, add as much or a little as you like

Once you have all your ingredients, the method is  to arrange them on your page

Cooking shouldn't take long, just stick it all down.and its done, and I bet its Yummy.

When you upload your page let us know what you have used.

Looking forward to seeing what you all create.

PS If your first name is to hard use your surname, and if you get really stuck just leave that letter out,  but most letters do have something to do with scrapping.... you may need to think outside the square though.

Hope you all have fun. I will upload my page tomorrow.

Thanks

Janice  :) xx

{enjoy}

Pages need to be uploaded by midnight  Sunday 4th March, Click on the link above if you would like to join in and have some fun. It has created  lots of chat and got people thinking..Thanks to everyone who has already  played and I look forward to seeing lots more.

Four friends catch up for a cuppa at the 5 loaves Bakery.

Topic of conversation is... that's right  "Scrapbooking".....

and from that day this is the layout I created.

The page does actually have a thin black layer around it..

Thanks so much Sandra for the inspiration, your insight into the scrapping world is amazing, your head is a buzz with ideas that you are only to willing to share. I must say thanks also for the sleepless night....I was thinking of how I could try what you had been talking about  The photo is inset into the page, bit hard to see by these photos.. This is  a bit different to what Sandra was  talking about but this is my interpretation..

Thanks for the blog love everyone, I really am enjoying being in blog land.

 Take care.
