Film Strip punch - ek tools and 3M glue applicator

Film strip punch from Ek Tools used to show photos in a series by Crafterlala

Here's another little video I did. It's not the best quality sorry. I will get better I promise! You tube compresses it a lot so the original wasn't this blurry but it still gives you the idea of what I'm trying to show which is how you can use this film strip punch to show off a series of photos when one just doesn't tell the story. If you can give me a thumbsup click in Youtube it would be appreciated. Or comment under this post. Currently (16th April 2014) ( Martha Stewart punches are on sale at Scotties so if you get inspired stop on by the site and check out the deals.

Martha Stewart around the page Butterfly punch

My main item in my kit was a Martha Stewart punch all over the page Butterfly punch along with some summer Echo Park papers which I chose as I don't normally do brights and gave myself a little challenge with my first page - though I did chose the pinks!

My first page I used lots of punches including the butterfly punch, framed dots punch, small butterflypunch and a double scallop punch. Along the double scallop punch I have added liquid pearls.  The papers used are Echo Park summer.  I have punched the butterflies out of white cardstock and used the piece of cardstock as well as the punched out butterflies.

With the next layout I created a mask with the Butterfly punch and acetate and using colour washes (purple twighlight and lettuce) and Kraft cardstock created my background.  I also used the acetate butterflis on the layout. The papers used are Donna Salazar papers. Flowers by Prima.

With my last layout I used the mask as a stamp with the colour washes to create my background. The binding ribbon has also been coloured with the colour washes. I have used Echo park Summer paper and stickers again.

Big Night Out - Mrs Frizz

I'm back to share a little more creativity.

Still playing - oops, being creative with My Little Shoebox papers [and more than one photo on my layout].

And on this layout I have used:

MLS Summer Breeze - Outdoor Fresh
MLS Summer Breeze - Spring ShowerMLS Summer Breeze - Sunkissed
Lace
Prima bling
Prima Roosevelt flower
A little Prima packaging [can't let that go to waste]
Prima Mulberry Rose leaves
Tim Holtz alterations die - and I've used the key
MS lace doily edge punch

Head into the team at Scottie Crafts and they will point you in the right direction for any of those goodies.

Anything else was already in my stash and I've also used one of my own handmade flowers.

So come on girls, grab your punches and flowers and a little bling and be creative.

Most of all, have fun.

Happy creating.

A little creativity - Mrs Frizz

Ann sent me some gorgeous papers from My Little Shoebox Sunday Market collection this month.

I played a little with the papers, added a flower or two [or three or four], mixed in a little ink and some pearls and feathers and love my layout.

From the shop:

Sunday Market Collection of papers from My Little Shoebox
Prima bling – pearls and crystals with ceramic roses
Prima leaves
Prima mountain lilies [beautiful]
Prima Roosevelt flower
Tim Holtz distress ink – Victorian Velvet
White cardstock

From my stash I’ve added :
Glimmermist
Feathers
Pearls
Tag

I’ve used my trusty punches and on this layout I’ve given the Martha Stewart lace doily edge punch and the butterfly punch a bit of a work out.  Love the way that this layout fell into place and of course it helps having a gorgeous wee model [thank you Miss Paige for letting me take photos of you]. I took Paige out last year as a birthday treat for her fifth birthday and we visited the bead shop and McDonalds.

Don’t forget to head into the shop and visit the team at Scottie Crafts. They will point you in the right direction and you can add these scrapping goodies to your own stash.

Happy creating.

Garden Gala - by Websters Inspiration

I have been creating a few layouts with Websters Pages lately and here is another using the Garden Gala Range.



By doing a lot of fussy cutting with the vellum and papers I created the background to the photo.  I have created the green picket fence using the picket fence punch from Martha Stewart on Jac Paper and then sticking it on the layout.  I have then taken the backing layer of the Jac paper and sprinkled the fence with Martha Stewart Glitter.  The flowers are made with Vellum with a diecut through the cuttlebug.

Celebrating 50 years of True Love

My in-laws recently celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We had a family lunch and I took lots of precious photos of all the family together. This page is for Sophies album. She looks so cute and comfortable snuggled up on Omas knee. My in-laws are Dutch and I thought that the little houses in this Echo Park collection looked like little Dutch houses in Amsterdam (Hence the strip under my main photo). I used a sheet of die-cut paper from another paper range as a template to cut the background sheet and I made the satin flower myself (I am really enjoying making my own flower embellishments for my LOs at the moment. There are so many different ways achieve this. The upper border is punched using another Martha Stewart punch from my excessive collection :)
Thanks again for looking

Sweet...By Ann

Hi again,

[caption id="attachment_275" align="aligncenter" width="298" caption="Sweet by Ann McLachlan"][/caption]



My second layout uses Pink bling as a base and I have used the Martha Stewart Lace Doiley punch around the sides of  the Free Spirit - Pink Geo paper and finished off my "frame" with glass beads.

Strips of  Daisy Days paper have been added along with some spotted lace.

I embossed some pink vellum using the Cuttlebug Deb Devine embossing folder and cut flowers from the Daisy Days paper which I scattered around the page along with the Green Tara flowers and some  Dress it up buttons and finished off the page with Cardstock Stickers and a Journal Block.

I wanted to do something with the left overs from my layout so i made a card to match my page, this is a great way to use up those bits and pieces you have laying around.

Here's what I came up with...

That's it from me for this month, I hope you have enjoyed the creations and inspiration from our Design Team.

All Smiles...By Ann

Just a quick post before I jet off to Brisbane to attend the Papercraft Expo...

This month the design team are all working with the same Little Yellow Bicycle papers/cardstock and a variation of the same embellishments with a different Cuttlebug product.

We thought you might like to see the different ways you can scrap the same papers.

For my first layout i used a Martha Stewart  Iron Gate punch on the outside of the purple cardstock and used the Little Yellow Bicycle - Free Spirit- Stripe paper as a background.

[caption id="attachment_269" align="aligncenter" width="300" caption="All Smiles - Ann McLachlan"][/caption]



I mounted photos on the orange Bling cardstock and used spiced marmalade distress ink on all of the paper and embellishments.

The Pink Geo paper has been punched with the Lace Doiley punch.

Add some journalling blocks from the Free Spirit- Journal Tablet and some  Cardstock Stickers.

I finished the layout with some Green Tara flowers which i embossed with the Cuttlebug  Deb Devine embossing folder and inked with the distress ink.

Check back soon for another layout and a matching card.

Another idea using this stunning paper from Websters Pages

I was in the store on Saturday and saw Anns stunning LO using this sheet of Websters Pages. I had to buy the same paper and use it myself. here is my result. I made the picket fence using a Martha Stewart punch and the bird cage using one of the new cuttlebug  border embossing folders - both items were amongst my 'essential' purchases whilst in store (and I actually went to stock up on brown cardstock LOL). Thanks for the inspiration Ann
