Butterfly Dreams

So glad to have you back today folks.. As promised yesterday, I will be sharing with you the second layout of the "IT IS OK TO SCRAP YOURSELF" DT post using Memory Maze chipboard. 

Butterfly Dreams

This layout has just myself in the photo. 

The chipboard has been used in a completely different way now. This page features the chippie as the hero, is being surrounded by flowers, washi tape and some micro beads. 

Unfortunately the photo doesn't do it justice, but the chipboard is coloured by a Silver Alcohol ink. I love that stuff because I don't have to prep the chipboard with anything for it to shine it's true stunning colour. Such a shame it doesn't come through on the photo though.

Thank you very much for dropping by, I hope you have found some inspiration to scrap yourself! 

Timeless layout - Lane and myself

Hello scrapping friends... I'm here to tell you, IT IS OK TO SCRAP YOURSELF! 

So many of us today tend to forget about our own photos when crafting. We'll lean towards our children, partners, parents and even our pets without giving it a second thought. But when it comes to using our own photo we always seem to pass on it for some reason.  Well not any longer! 

Timeless with Lane

This layout includes a gorgeous photos of myself and my big boy Lane. Although it's not the most in focus photo, I still adore it! 

The chipboard pieces are being used along with the flowers and metal embellishments to create some clusters all over the page. All of the chipbpard pieces have been either inked or painted. The frames have been layered on the page after being cut from a 12x12 pattern paper sheet.

Come back tomorrow to see the second layout I made for my DT post.. 

Instead of the chipboard being the embellishment supporting pieces, it is the highlight and hero of the page.. :) 

Small Treat Boxes

Like many weekend nights, there is music playing somewhere around my estate and I'm finding it hard to sleep.. Not because of the music though, just because I'm generally a horrible sleeper.. lol.. 

Anyway, I took this to my advantage as many crafters do and headed for my craft desk.. 

I have saved a pin on Pinterest a few days ago featuring a Treat Box.. It is so super simple that I thought I'd give it a go since I wasn't keen on starting a big project.. 

These are so easy! 

Use 1 squared piece of cardstock or pattern paper, score it into 9 equal sqaures, then score a diagonial line from the middle square corners to the outer corner square points.. Fold the score lines and done! 😊. 

The one I saw on Pinterest were 12x12, but that was way too huge for me tonight.. So I downsized and used a 6x6 square base..  Actually I just used some pattern pieces from a paper pad.. 

I had so much fun that I made 4 boxes.. 

I'm not entirely sure if I've actually finished these two.. I was starting to get a little tired, so my creative imagination side was getting a bit drained from the first time makes.. lol

I do hope that you can find some inspiration in these to make your own! You can add paper to the middle also, so it's not white if you wish..
