Photo Swap Layouts

Hello blogger friends hope all is happy in your world.  

Just two days left here til the end of term and it's two weeks holiday for my kiddos.

Not sure that we'll be doing anything super exciting like holidaying because we had 

our holiday mid term.   Oh well it will be nice to spend time at home I wonder if they would be keen on weeding the garden for me? Probably not...unless there's money involved! Ha!

Ok so I have two layouts to share today and if you don't recognise the kids in them it's because 

they're not mine! I did a photo swap with a super talented Scrappy friend Lisa Oxely. 

We both love bright colours so it was easy creating a layout for someone else when you 

know you both have similar tastes.  Although I must say creating for someone else is 

still quite nerve racking!

Here's the first one.

The background is made using Jo Sonja's Decor Crackle which is quite time intensive as it needs to air dry but the crackle result is well worth the time it takes.

I love these Collections Butterflies I'm almost out of the packet I bought a few years ago. 

 They last for ages.

Anyone know if they still make them because they're gorgeous?  

Don't what I'll do when I run out of them!

This is the second layout I did for Lisa and I tell you what I had trouble handing this one over!

I love this background I created using Crayola Water Colour Paints, so I've decided I'll be 

scraplifting myself so I can have my own version. ;)

And a couple of close ups.

That's it for now thanks for stopping by and thank you for your 

kind comments on my work.

New post up at Sassy Scrappers

I have a new post up on the Sassy Scrappers blog today.

I tested out these Dazzlerz paints.

I also used the My Minds Eye Cut & Paste Flair range. 

Also I just wanted to direct you to the Vic Masters Tour Blog.

You may know that Beck Beattie, Heather McMahon and Myself have been teaching 

classes in our home towns in Victoria over the last couple of months and their is a bit of a wrap up and 

an announcement on the blog today.  Along with some great pictures from our classes.

So head over and take a look at the Vic Masters Tour

Pre-Prepared backgrounds.

Lately I've been creating backgrounds on cardstock without really planning 

what photo's or papers I will use on them.

It's usually when I want to try a new technique or mixed media product or if I just want to 

create without having to think too much. Lol 

There are no expectations that I have to create it for a particular challenge, team or special photo.

 So then if it doesn't turn out...well it's just cardstock and can go in the bin if I really don't it!!

Here's one such page. 

 What usually happens with these pre-prepared backgrounds is they go on the shelf 

until along comes 

a photo, or papers, or a challenge that it completely works with.

I took a few of these backgrounds to Camp Mojo and used them to create a couple of pages.

This background is made up of Distress Inks, Gelatos, stamping and 

washi tape (i'm really loving this combination lately). ;)

And here's the second pre-prepared background I used.  

This one has actually been sitting on the pile for at least a year or more I think!  

I can tell because there's not as many mediums on it!!  No texture paste or Gesso and no Gelatos. Lol

Just some stencil work with Distress Inks. 

But, it was perfect with the papers from this kit at Scrappy Chat Designs.

 I just added some tags, frames, gauze and a flair button.

Do you often create backgrounds for no particular reason or it just me being strange?

Give it a go if you haven't it's quite fun. 

Camp Mojo 2013 - Faber-Castell Gelatos

I think this layout is my favourite from Camp Mojo!

I just love how it turned out.

Myself and some of the girls on our table had some fun one morning at the Photobooth. 

And with the help of Peta's (of Scrapbooking From Scratch) cool little printer we were able to print the

photo's to scrap the same day.

I created the background mostly with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos and a few squiggly ink drips (very technical term I know!) of Dylusions Ink Sprays.

Thanks for an awesome weekend Tarrah, Melissa, Marelle and Ebony.
