From our house to yours...

Earlier last year I was invited to create a beyond the page project for Scrapbook Creations that  showcased a few photos.  A Twiddleybitz House Printers Tray creates a beautiful foundation -  I loved putting this little house project together as seen in SC #96:

'From our house to yours'

The Printers Tray was relatively easy to construct - it came with instructions and was decorated with patterned papers from the Kaiser Turtle Dove Collection. This was one of my favourite Kaiser Christmas releases from last year. Although a Christmas range, the colours are classic and quite decor neutral and worked well for the project. The inside and outside of the tray were 'wallpapered' and 'rendered'.

A few family photos taken through the year were added to the rooms. As they were taken at differed times, they were altered to black and white to coordinate. Twiddleybitz furniture pieces FUR007 and FUR008 add a little homely feel and a medley of Prima flowers, vines and leaves add a touch of sweetness.

I call him Dad...

Hi There Everyone,

Today I have a Publication project to share that is more on the 'masculine' side. 

This was a project that was featured in the Australian magazine Scrapbook Creations. The issue also coincided with Father's Day here in Australia.  This tender moment captured of my Miss E with her Daddy was the perfect choice.

'I call him Dad' as seen in Scrapbook Creations Issue #95.

Darker colours feature along with turquoise blue and a splash of yellow for contrast.  The patterned papers were not overly fussy in design. Glitz Design was combined with a touch of MME and a big  butterfly was cut from Bo Bunny paper. 

Twiddleybitz chipboard elements were layered over the top of the butterfly to add a touch of grunge texture.

Featured are Twiddleybitz -

FRA012 6 x 6 Flourish Frame

CF003 Roman Clock Large

SPK005 Steam Punk Clock with Gears

SPK008 Steam Punk Gear Border

SPK009 Steam Punk Blossom

I had lots of fun altering the chipboard - I used a combination of inks, colour sprays and a sprinkling of diamond dust.
A few Prima Metallic Flowers (also altered) along with MME brads and bling add a touch of masculine 'sweetness'.

It's been a while since I have worked with these tonings and 'style', but as they say change is good as is being creatively stretched. It is perhaps not a style that I venture to often, but with saying this, did enjoy the process of putting this one together.

Till next time,

Publication: 'Daydream Believer'

I totally **heart** the MME Follow Your Heart collection and it was the perfect choice for creating something in the style 'Sugar & Spice'.
As seen in the Scrapbook Creations #95

'Daydream Believer'

Papers which are feminine and soft in toning work well for this style.  I concentrated on pastel tonings but dusty and earthy would also look lovely.  I combined patterned papers with lots of coordinated embellishments.  Floral patterns, blooms and lace doilies add just the right amount of sweetness with a splash of darker blush for a touch of spice.

Pretty blooms and butterflies add some more sugary sweetness.

Twiddleybitz, Prima and Publications

Hello, Hello, HELLO!!

It's been a little while so I will warn you that a long post is coming up LOL!!

Lots to share :)

First up some exciting news for me....

Come and say HI to me at the TWIDDLEYBITZ booth at the

June 9 - 11, 2012 June Long Weekend             Open 9am – 5pm dailyBrisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre, South Bank

I'll be there along with 

Mr and Mrs Twiddley, Sandy Wallace, Jennifer Hodge and also the very talented Lisa Kamphius and special guest Maria Featon.

So be sure to say hello to us all and check out our bitz!!

I have lots of projects that I have been working on for the show

Here are a couple of sneak peaks that I can share

********************

Another project that I worked on earlier in the year can now be seen in the current Scrapbook Creations issue # 93.

On Page 89 you are invited to a carnival birthday party

And in Scrapbooking Memories Vol 14 NO 6

This was my take on the easy as 1,2,3 Sketch challenge which I was invited to participate with.

Some lovely Prima and Twiddleybitz combined for this one.

********************

And now onto some recent Prima scrappy shares.

We have been having some fun scraplifting our fellow DT gals.

I had the pleasure of taking inspiration from fellow Prima designer Anne Jo Lexander.  

This is Anne Jo Lexander's layout 'So this is us you say?'

Anne Jo has a fabulous sense for negative space design, arrangement and detail.  Her creations are a breath of fresh air and at times can be whimsical.   I particularly love how her creations will feature multi photo combinations which tell a story; often of an everyday occurrance.  Perfectly placed embellishing allows her photos to shine and hand written journaling tells us the story.

This is my inspiration took me

I have incorporated the light and dark toning and adapted the design arrangement by rotating it.  The embellishing was moved to vertically through the photo's rather than the along the photo edge.  I also loved the little rows of the Say It In Crystals hearts across the photo edge and instead of replicating, I have incorporated hearts in my embellishing.

Notecards were used to layer behind the main photo.

Some banners were created from patterned paper.  These were combined with some hand cut elements, chipboard and a sprinkling of blooms.

COY

Hello Lovely People,

Thanks so much for dropping by!

A little while back, I was invited to participate with an 'Easy As' 1,2,3 Challenge for the Scrapbooking Memories Magazine.

From the given sketch, I created a layout and card. 

As seen in SM Vol 13 NO 11   

Layout - 'Coy'

Materials Used:

 Patterned Papers – Prima Marketing Flirty Little Secret, Ruby Rocket Avalon, Kaisercraft Chanteuse; Grace Taylor Die Cut Frame and Prima Marketing Madeline Journal Note Card.  

Embellishments- Prima Marketing Flowers, Kaisercraft ‘Flutterby’ & Rubon, Twiddleybitz Twiddleygroove Alphabet. 

Other: Ink, Kindy Glitz

The sketch provided a great foundation which I was able to put my own ‘creative spin’ on by reducing the size of some of the design elements to suit the size of the photo I wanted to work with. 

  The circle embellishment elements of the sketch were replaced with hand cut flowers from patterned papers, flower blooms and butterfly.

 Card - 'Love'

The sketch was also easily adapted for a card. 

I rotated the sketch to suit the landscape orientation and replaced the photo element of the original sketch with a sentiment die cut.  A Prima Madeline note card creates a lovely card sentiment and the pretty picture on the note card replaces the embellishing. 

 

Materials Used: 

Cardstock - Bazzill. 

Patterned Papers- Prima Marketing Madeline Paper Pad and Journal Note Card, Grace Taylor Die Cuts. 

Embellishment:-Chatterbox Ribbon.

A Mother's Love

.... Knows no end.......

Hello Lovely People!

Today, I have a little mini album to share. This was created for the 'Fast and Fabulous' Feature that was recently seen in Scrapbook Creations Issue #87

The basis of the album has been created from one sheet of cardstock and features Kaisercraft Chanteuse Paper Pad, Mini Journal Tags, Printed Chipboard and Die Cut elements.

'Mother's Love'

A tribute to the gorgeous little love's of my life

The album opens to reveal

And then folds out

And folds out again

The 6" Paper Pad provided a quick and easy way to embellish the pages of my mini album. As they were pretty much already cut to size, it was only a small strip that had to be removed as the pages of the album are 4 " x 6". There was no waste as the off cuts were also used to layer behind the photo's with other elements - including Mini Journalling Tags and Die Cut elements. These all make for quick and easy embellishing.

The sentiments have also been cut from patterned paper from the pad and are perfect for creating journalling prompts.

'Mother's Love' Mini Album Created by Trudi Harrison. Materials: Kaisercraft Chanteuse Collection - Paper Pad, Printed Chipboard, Die Cut Elements, Mini Journal Tags; Wooden Flourishes - Frames, Organza Ribbon
