LATEST CREATIONS

-
After two awesome Saturdays scrapping and creating with the lovelies Miss Mary and Kim I managed to finish one layout.


This is my gorgeous little nephew Logan. I kept the page pretty simple as I wanted the focus to be on the pic. I used some lovely Echo Park and Kaiser.




Next up is a canvas that I completed yesterday. After doing a Natalie Kalbach class in Bathurst, Mary and I were inspired and wanted to do another, so with Kim we had a fun, messy afternoon playing with gesso, glimmer mist, templates etc.



This ended up so completely different to my original concept, which was going to be greens with touches of red. Mixing sage green Jo Sonya paint into the textured paste made a fantastic background, the templates I borrowed from Mary, once I used Black Chalk (thanks Kim)  and Santa Baby glimmer the colour changed to an aged patina. I added butterflies from a napkin, again from Mary, and used Mod Podge to fix onto the canvas. Flower spray (Prima), Cameo, Heart Cherub and Metal Rose (my2angels), Metal butterflies (Craft Queen) all combined to help finish off the design. Using left over coloured medium on the letters gave them a different texture to what I would have achieved with ink or glimmer.

I am very happy with how this turned out and it will be displayed in my chillout nook in the kitchen.

Thanks for stopping by, hope you had an awesome weekend, cya soon, hugs and love xo

SCRAPPY SATURDAY WITH COMPANY

I am so fortunate to have two really awesome ladies, Mary and Kim as my dearest friends, and incredibly lucky that we have the opportunity to get together every second Saturday to scrap.  This Saturday was fantastic as we had the lovely Cheryl (Cootamundra) and the gorgeous Jo (Mudgee) both travel to join us all for the day. We all had so much fun, scrapping, chatting, playing with the great toys that Jo (bigshot) well looked at Jo's didn't really play, but will next time and Cheryl (cricut) did have a play with it (can see a wish list happening here)   And then of course there was lunch, chicken, tossed salad (with a yummy handmade dressing by Mary) and crusty french stick, but the thing that we were all waiting for was Kims Famous PAV and boy was the wait worth, it think she excelled hereself this this. And if the look on Jo's face was anything to go by, yes, it tasted as good as it looked, I still have one piece left for afternoon tea today. Yummo!!!! Then u...

Stuck?!: October 15th Challenge

So the second challenge I did a layout for is the October 15th Challenge at Stuck?! Sketches, October 15th Challenge . Really liked the Sketch for this Challenge It was perfect for this last picture of my beautiful dog Wombat who crossed over the rainbow bridge on the 22nd September this year. He was not quite 17 and was the most gentle, loving and incredible dog that I have had the privilege of being part of our lives. Unfortunately his arthritis became that bad a decision had to be made. He took a piece of my heart with him and he will never be forgotten. For this page I used some old 7 dots studio Lost and Found paper, washi tape, jute ribbon and lots of bits and pieces from my stash. Cheers all Annette

OMG I HAVE BLOGGED!!!!!!

Just wanted to share a couple of recent layouts I have done, the first is for the current challenge at http:// www.orangepaperieandco.blogspot .com.au/2013/11/ some-more-layouts-from-dt-to-in spire-you.html where the lovely Jo has a sketch with the added criteria of fussy cutting and using die cuts. I used this stunning pic of my friend Susan Walters gorgeous little granddaughter Bella for my page. I gave the page to Sue as a gift and didn't expect the reaction I got, she was quite overwhelmed, made the work I put into this so worthwhile. A bit of a closie showing the gorgeous flower which I did mutilate by pulling apart, oh dear The second is so precious to me, it is my amazing cousin Sandra Nuttall with her new son Everett, who came into this world a bit too early and fought very hard to stay, thankfully a battle he won, the look of love and wonder on her face as she watches him sleep leaves me speechless. The page with Sandra...
