Bo Bunny - Gabrielle number 2

My sister really liked the Gabrielle layout i made (see previous post) so i made her a similar one. I changed the layout slightly and used more of the blue tones (instead of the brown) to go with her front room as this layout was framed as a present.

Bo Bunny Gabrielle papers and embellishments, Prima flowers, Tim Holtz distress inks and crackle glaze, Glossy accents.

Bo Bunny - Gabrielle

I thought i would spend some time posting some of the layouts i have done and not got around to posting yet.

The first one is using the Bo Bunny Gabrielle collection which has been one of my all time favourites. This picture is one of my favourite pictures of my little girl Maisie, she just looks  so cute!

I used Bo Bunny papers, Prima flowers and Tim Holtz distress inks and crackle glaze for the butterflies.

Bo Bunny - White Space Challenge

This is my take on the Bo Bunny White Space Challenge. As i usually feel the need to fill every space on my page this was indeed a challenge for me and i kept having to remove things! I also decided as i was doing white space i would also attempt gesso and misting, another new one for me. The range i used was Alora, spray mists i used were tattered angels, blue sky and lemon zest. I used white gesso and the hearts at the bottom are white gesso mixed with Tim Holtz Citrus alcohol ink which i made to match the paper........i have no idea how people manage to make their paper stay flat after using mediums!.........

My Creative Scrapbook - Prima Sketch Challenge

The two of us....

This is a layout for the My Creative Scrapbook Prima sketch challenge. I love Prima and am always using their products so when I saw this challenge I thought I would give it a go! This layout is of my husband and little girl at Falmouth beach last year. It was her first time close to the ocean and she just stared at the sea in amazement. I wanted the layout to have a soft feel and used papers, materials, colours and distressing that I felt would be reminiscent of the ocean.

The Layout is mostly Prima, papers are Annalee as are the essential flowers which have been embellished with pearls and crystals, painted with white acrylic paint and distressed with Tim Holtz broken china ink. Flowers are from the Tea Roses collection, melody and Annalee collection, also used are crystal swirls, pearls and melody birds. Photo mats are soft hessian which is painted with white acrylic paint and distressed with Tim Holtz broken china, others mats are soft mesh material in sand and blue colours. The words are distressed with Time Holtz broken china stickles. The envelope is from Melissa Frances, painted and distressed and inside has journaling about the day. The papers are distressed and again inked with distress ink. The flowers and envelope are surrounded by pebbles and shells that were collected from the beach on the day buy my little girl.

Sorry for the poor photographing!

Bo Bunny Challenge - I Love the Way...

Ok here goes.... Hi and welcome to me blog, my name is Jodie and as you can tell this is a new blog and the first time I have ever blogged!

I love scrapbooking and started this blog so that it would be easier to take part in all the fun challenges out there. Some of my favourite scrapbooking designers are Bo Bunny, Prima and My Minds Eye and my favourite scrapping inspiration is my little girl.

My first layout is the current Bo Bunny Layout Challenge Friday. The challenge was to focus on journaling and to include some sewing (hand, machine or faux). Originally, I wasn’t going to take part in this challenge as firstly I don’t normally include much journaling on my layouts, normally keeping to titles, statements etc and when I do journal its normally hidden. Secondly, I have never stitched on any of my layouts. However, I thought this challenge would be good for me as it would take me out of my comfort zone and try new things...

I used the Ad Lib Collection as wanted to do a bright layout and I thought it was a perfect collection for journaling. I then decided if I was going to journal I would include lots! As such the layout contains both clear and hidden journaling...sorry about the handwriting! I chose the back Ad Lib paper as the design around the edge looks like faux stitching and the hidden tag at the top has a boarder of actual stitching.

Sorry the photos are small and one strangely the wrong way up! i am trying to get used to posting!

The name of the layout is I Love the Way You...
