Insect tags

I'm so lucky to have so many different collections in my craft room, (even after culling almost half), that I am able to make ALL of these projects that I've share so far this year without having to spend any $ on new supplies.

This also means that I am able to bring the spotlight back to some older collections and remind everyone to USE YOUR SUPPLIES.

The first I'm sharing is using the Seize the Day collection from Uniquely Creative.

Fairly simple tag with some fussy cut added pieces. Snails and Ladybugs make this the cutest little garden scene.

Next tag up was made using Bottlebrush collectable pieces from Kaisercraft.

Keeping the Kaisercraft collections flowing, I grabbed out this incredibly OLD collection "Junglebug".... Honestly, I would guess it has to be at least close to 15yrs old. lol

But seriously, how good is it that I'm using up these old supplies!
I used the 6x6 paper pad for this tag.

Features plenty of little bugs... Rhino Beetle, Snail and Butterflies

Let me know what you think!

Believe layout

Believe

This is the one that got me back into scrapping.

I stuck with something I knew and have scraplifted from myself many times before.

I needed something easy, familiar and guaranteed to make me happy.

This layout is based off a stripped background layout I had designed many years ago and have the pleasure of scraplifting from myself on the occasion over the years.

This is a prime example of how using scraps from a collection can be used to extend your projects.

We all have random pieces of varying sizes leftover without a clue what to do with them.

I hope that the simplicity I have shared with these 5 layouts can inspire you to use up even more of your leftover scraps in an easy and coordinated manner.

This layout I started out with pattern paper #3 as the 12x12” background base, Before quickly placing #5 & #6 pieces on top to layer for a base. Approx 10.5”..

Using #4 to cut the strips from (or use your own leftover pieces), stick them randomly & tightly down to another white scrap piece to hold them all together. I have found this to easier to do keep control of the pattern and the straightness of the strips as I’m working..

Finish off with chipboard pieces, photo mats & flowers.

Although this is quite an easy layout, it’s effective and can be a little fiddly with the strips. But it’s worth it and still can be fully completed under 60min.

Best not to think too much with this one. Just stick it down and away you go.

Did you know that at Scrapbook Fantasies, you are able to return your empty packets for recycling.

Birthday batch cards

As I mentioned in my last post, I have recently re joined / re activated myself in one of the local Aussie card swap groups. 

In the address list, there are also some birthdates attached. Not everyone, but majority of the group have their dates listed, so I thought it would be nice to send a little card to each member for their special day.

I know myself that cards are a now becoming a limited and sparce thing shared between loved ones. I also I know that as we are usually the one's that are doing the gifting, we tend to be forgotten. 

So, with this in mind, I wanted to hopefully be able to spread a little smile when people that are not normally on the receiving end of the cards to get one in the mail.

Let me know what you think!

focus on Borders CM crop layout

 Life hasn't been kind lately and the last few months especially I've realised just how broken and unrecognisable I have become to myself. 

So from the end of February I decided that getting back into some crafting is exactly what I need to get some creativity flowing and get the dopamine hit again.. lol 
(lately the accomplishments have come from decluttering and culling my house, but there is only so much of that I can do before there is nothing left.) 

So I finally joined a local cropping group right here in Yeppoon.
I've wanted to join this group for YEARS! However, since they meet up on a Saturday, I've always been at sports or working. This was my opportunity to connect with new people while reconnecting with scrapping. 

Tanya is a Creative Memories demonstrator. Although, there is no pressure within the group to only use CM products while attending the crop, I believe it's only the right thing to do to support the incredible host. 

I was able to put together 2 layouts during the crop, inbetween the food and the banter chats. 

Let me know what you think!

Classic non-Nautical layout

 catching up on updating blog posts that were not shared from my facebook page. 

This layout was made in OCTOBER 2024 as part of the DESIGN TEAM projects for the NAUTICAL DREAMS collection from  Scrapbook Fantasies .

Classic Non-Nautical layout

I wanted something classical and non-themed.

This Nautical collection can be used for so much more than beach or sea layouts.

I loved working with the fussy cut flowers and again, used a Mushroom coloured cardstock to soften the base and then added Blue & White misting spraying.

This layout is all about keeping it basic with plenty of layering. Essentially, it can be done within a hour (with pre-cut fussy cutting). So it’s a quick layout that can hopefully inspire even the most time poor crafters.

I don’t have a name for it or photo yet.

I do believe it will fit a wide range of photos and add the title to match afterwards.

I'm so thankful that Alicia, Quentin and the Redshaw family saw the spark in me back in 2024 to get back into crafting. Unfortunately it fell flat pretty quickly afterwards, but I'm not back at it. April 2026.. I am trying to catch up on posting / uploading projects and working on plenty of new one's as well. 

This time I wanted something non-nautical.

It’s fun being able to share with you an off themed layout like this with such a deep themed collection.

I started with a Mushroom cardstock base and sprayed Blue & White misting sprays on and drew around the edge to create a boarder with black pen for a fun background.

Using paper #2 I cut several 2.5“ pieces of paper into 4.5 / 4.5 / 4.5 / 3 / 6 / off cut

Then a few 3” pieces into 5 / 4 / 3

The blue & red were both 2.5” wide.

Red 3 / 3 - Blue 4.25 / 1.75

INK & BOARDER all pieces with black.

Plenty of black mats just .25” wider than the pattern paper.

There really is no rhyme or reason for the placements of the paper pieces, just still them down on a diagonal angle and then use foam tape to layer.

Cut off the excess that hangs over the edge and use those to layer some more!

The flowers are fussy cut from the Blue & Red paper #6

Photo mat to fit 5”x7”, however you can adjust it to fit your own needs and add a title to finish it off!

4 different male themed cards

 Well, well, well.. 

Welcome back.. Today I'm sharing with you something a bit different.. Something that many of us seem to struggle so badly with but never seem to know or understand why.. lol

MALE CARDS

Each of these cards are unique with their own style.

 I find that using a specialty themed paper and elements it makes putting together male cards so much easier! 

I have used the Uniquely Creative - Drive & Fly collection to make them all.

Made these easy cards with the 6x6 paper pack, metal cogs, wooden cogs & embellishment diecut pack.
