Princess Shadow Box

 Righto, now this one was a fun project to make.. First time I've ever done something like this and thankfully it was much easier than I had thought it would be.. lol 

Princess Shadow Box - You Tube video

I used the beautiful Princess Adventures collection from Craft O'Clock

Below is a mixture of the close up photos.. 

Here is the back... Perfect to slide a PenPal letter in the pocket or it can be used to add a special Birthday tag & gift card.. 

Sunflower 3 window shaker layout

WHITE WITH 1

One of my old DT challenge groups held a cyber crop over the weekend. They are holding the challenges open all week for anyone that wishes to join in.

Here is my entry into challenge 3. It's a TicTacToe based theme. I actually completed a cross with - Twine / Earth / Flowers + Wood Veneer / Earth / Stencil background.

Of course I used my fav foliage stencil for the base and added a 3 window shaker.

Unfortunately, I'm not totally in love with this finished layout. I struggled to get a flow going, so will definitely have another go of the winder shaker idea in the future.

Between losing tools, housework, school run, shopping, errands, parent / teacher interviews & cooking dinner. This took me HOURS! Which of course we all know disturbs the flow for me..

If I can't get a layout done in a hour or so, I usually just toss it..

Anyway, yellow might seem an odd choice for an Earth colour theme, but I wanted to put my own spin on it. This photo of a friend in the Sunflower fields near by (entered with safety, respect & permission) gave me such a feeling of joy & creativeness that I wanted to capture. The Yellow delights that nature deliver us like Flowers, Birds, Bees, Fruit & so much more definitely should be celebrated!

May card share

 Playing catchup yet again with my cards.. Most of these were infact made last year, but have slipped though the cracks with me forgetting to upload and share them here on my blog.. 

For more current and up to date shares, so you don't miss anything - follow along my crafty projects over on my fb page - Scrap Crazy with Toni.. 

I made this card special for a dear friend who stood with my youngest son to sponsor him during his Confirmation ceremony since his Godparents were not able to make it due to travel restrictions. 

Let me know what you think!

Multi circle layered “Koala” layout

Multi circle layered "Koala" layout featuring a beautiful and soft photo of my youngest boy Hunter, Australia Day 2021 at the Australia Zoo.

 WHITE WITH 1 - Earth Cyber Crop (March 2022)

Challenge 2- White with Green + Leaves / Trees + use Fibres of some sort.

Yes, I really did fussy cut all of these.. ekk.

It took about 45min to do the whole sheet.

Then I also inked the edges.

Didn't end up using all of them on the layout shared eariler, so have saved them for another project.

Plenty of foam tape used on the layers for this one.

I started out wanting to use a circle on top with the leaves popping out from underneath, but then I found the white wood paper and everything changed.. lol.

Like usual, I wing the changes and so happy as it turned out way better than I originally planned!

Leaves are fussy cut - Craft O'Clock.

Rubons & Green pp - 49 & Market.

Flowers - Kaiser

White wood pattern paper - Lemoncraft

Stencil - Carta Bella

I used this very simple circle cutter tool to cut out the circle layers.

WHITE WITH 1

One of my old DT challenge groups held a Cyber Crop over the weekend.. I thought I'd join in, as I love the EARTH theme.

My challenge 1 entry - I have been wanting to use this paint technique for quite a while now when I saw it used as a rainbow. So thought, what better chance than now with some beautiful Burnt Sienna & Raw Sienna for this Earth Brown base.

I started the layout with a white cardstock base, then added the paint with dots in the middle of the page. Then with foam brushes I simply spread the paint from the inside out. Leaving gaps for the white to peek through between each paint stripe. 

Once the paint was dry, I added some white spray mist generously over the top. 

The TIP is for the paint to be dry first!!! 

You may wonder what the photo has to do with criteria 2 - exploring the outdoors, here we are in Sapphire at the Gem Fields (outback central Qld). Hunter is actually sitting on a mound of waste dirt that had been sifted through to find precious Gems.

It was an incredible experience and lucky to capture so many feature photos while we were on holidays there.

I have truly been absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the amazing positive feedback I have received from sharing this layout.. It was made back in March and it has been ongoing and such lovely comments.. 

I have been so impressed with all of the SCRAPLIFT pages that others have done based on my layout.. It's very cool.. :)

How to follow a sketch - May 2022

My intentions for these videos each month is to use a fairly similar thought process I used with my original DT project, but to change up the theme of the layout. So since my DT layout features Hunter on the beach, this one I've decided to use The Story Garden collection - Uniquely Creative..

Sketches can be adapted to suit your own style, theme or photos for any project. And just looking through the other DT's incredible works definitely shows that!

How To Follow A Sketch - May 2022

Each month for Let's Get Sketchy I will be sharing some very basic videos on how to follow a sketch. 

These layouts will be a separate and second layout created based on the challenge sketch for the month.

 

 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

High Tea - Happy Mail penpal idea

 This was just a fun little project I put together featuring Uniquely Creative - High Tea collection.

The base design is loosely based on an idea from Alicia Redshaw at Scrapbook Fantasies.

However the measurements are mine and some design changes were made to not clash with copyright laws.

High Tea - Happy Mail penpal idea

You are welcome to use this project as an inspiration or scraplift if you’d wish!

This would make sure a great little Happy Mail idea to send to a Penpal. It would hold quite a bit of goodies as it’s 1” wide in the holder / pocket area.

Let me know what you think! 
Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..
