Pink Rectange - double window shaker layout

 Thanks so much to the White with One challenge group, I have always loved their unique challenge themes and got excited by the simplicity of the challenges from their Cyber crop from March.

Challenge 1 - white with one colour + 1 shape.

I chose to use PINK & RECTANGLES.

I wanted to share this layout with you as it’s an interactive design with 2 double sided shaker window fronts that open up to another layout with more photo opportunities too.

A few of the elements I added for the rectangle effect - I created my own stencil from scrap pieces to use for the blending. Drew on some more rectangles to trick the eye into a flat 3 dimensional idea too.

Very minimal products to create this layout - 2 white cardstock + 2 photo mats from scraps, 2 A4 Acetate pieces and shaker elements, 1 & half pattern paper (kaisercraft Sunkissed collection), 1 pink cardstock, half a glitter cardstock piece plus flowers and chipboard to cluster.

I haven’t seen anything like this specifically done before, but it was pretty easy to put together once I got my “it’s 12:30am and can’t sleep” ideas fitting together.

PRO TIP - do not push down on chipboard with hot glue on the back if there are gaps in the design.. It burns and hurts!

Double Easel cards - White Christmas

 Christmas cards for teachers sorta just don't happen once the kids are in High School.. Which I find super sad and disappointing.. 
I always offer my boys to make some cards for any of the teachers that they want to gift something to.. Lane gave a couple and the teachers were always so appreciative.. 

This year, I was so glad that Hunter choose two of his teachers to gift a card and some scratchies to. 

I used the Kaiser - White Christmas collection that was released only a couple months ago.. 

I decided on a double easel design with plenty of mats for layering and cluster embellishment on the larger panel for the topper feature.. 

Also put on a small Tim Holtz shaker dome for that extra cute element on the front smaller panel. 

Inside the card is a pocket that holds the scratch-its.. 

Let me know what you think!

Christmas swap box & projects - AB Studios Christmas Days

 I grabbed this AB Studios - Christmas Days collection a year ago at a local retreat weekend and have been “saving” it… I don’t know what I’ve been saving it for, just didn’t want to use it cause it’s so cute.

But of course that just doesn’t do my overflowing craftroom any good..

As I signed up for another upcoming Christmas swap, I thought it would be the perfect collection to use.

Criteria is a bag / holder + Shaker card + Tag and include a Recipe.. Using the same papers for the all the projects.

I had so much fun, I added a couple extras.

Rosettes, Notepad, Bookmark & Bauble..

Easel Scrapbooking layout

 

A few months ago while making an Easel card for a swap, I got an idea......... How about an Easel Scrapbook layout.......  This intrigued me so much that I got planning right away! It did take about a week for me to come up with the perfect way to attach the easel flappy bit to the base though seamlessly.. This was important to me. 

It finally occured to me to use the long barcode strip that we usually just cut off cardstock or pattern paper before we use it. I simply scored it then glued the easel paper piece onto that.. It folds up and closed with ease... yay!! 

Easel Scrapbooking Layout

I used a Kasiercraft collection for this and did use up a fair chunk of the papers and colour cuts within this design as I knew I bought the collection solely for this project purpose. 

Something I really struggle is using up entire collections on one project unless I know at the time of purchase that that is the plan... lol 

This can of course differ in design style with limitless options for flaps, pockets and photos.. I even added a shaker underneath the main front feature photo. 

It would make a unique gift for a birthday, wedding, party for signatures or any other celebration as you could use this as home decor by putting it on display to admire..  (I have a Christmas Easel layout scheduled on this blog soon, so definitely keep your eye out for that)

Vintage Pocket swap cards

 I absolutely loved putting these together!! 

Unfortunately I made them for a group swap and forgot to send them off in time, so now I'm saving them for individual swaps with a couple different groups.. 

Made to fit a criteria of Vintage Pocket cards with a unique pocket idea. 

I do have plans of putting together a tutorial video soon with instructions as it seems to be quite popular when I shared it on my fb crafty page..

Let's Get Sketchy July - Wonderful

LET'S GET SKETCHY 

Wonderful

From the moment I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to use the Uniquely Creative - Mind Over Matter collection to complete a layered page with shaker stars. 

I added some extra layers (red cardstock) for extra strength and stability. 

I decided to use only one central photo mat and use the two other small photo mat positions for cluster bases instead. 

It's been hard with the rain and cool temps here in central Queensland lately to get a decent photo for this layout, so I bring it to you a couple days late. I do apologise for the lighting issues.

Make sure you keep watch here on blogger or fb crafty page for another interruption of the same sketch with a different paper collection that I put together for inspiration too.  

 Thanks so much for dropping by! Make sure you head on over to the Let's Get Sketchy challenge blog or facebook page for more inspiration for our amazing DT! 

Let your creativity flow and hope to see your linked up entry soon! 
Toni.. xoxo

Kids class session (September 2021)

 I had such an honour last year to finally be able to host Kids classes again.. Unfortunately it didn't last long due to me no longer working at that store, but it was fun to get back into it with the kids again after quite a few years.. 

Everyone did amazing!
