Wedding Layout

Welcome to another post and another sneak peek of my next layout class which will be held this Saturday 29th August at 9:30 am at Hooked on Scrapbooking. I know I'm a little late for this one, but it has been a huge week. Wedding is definately the theme with lots of pretties and frames. One photo for each page is required either a portrait or landscape and 5' x 7' photos that can be cropped a little are best. If interested please contact me for any further details.
Hope to see you there.

Have Your self a Aussie Little X'mas

I just love Australian X'mas cards. With all the heat and sunshine we have up here in North Queensland at X'mas, it's hard to think of Snowman and Snowflakes. Thats why the Happy Christmas Mate stamp set is perfect for both friends here and abroad. These two cards have been created for my last CWA workshop. The Koala card is using Real Red, Whisper White and the Green Galore colour combo, with the Swiss Dots cuttlebug embossing folder. The layout is based on an old Mojo Monday sketch.

My second card uses Ruby Red, Always Artichoke, and Cool Carribean. All images have been coloured using the Water Colour crayons on water colour paper. The designer paper down the bottom has been paper pierced, and before putting Surfin' Santa down, I have used Crystal Effects on his beard and lights, then sprinkled over Dazzling Diamonds glitter. The circle is outlined to match the stamp with a black Writer pen as is the verse.

Wednesday Morning Scrapbooking 26th August

It's that time again for another sneak peek of this coming Wednesdays scrapping class at Hooked on Scrapbooking.
This L/o is dedicated to the special little girls in our lives. Even though mine is a birthday L/o, it would be suitable for a variety of girl photos. By using other embellishments these pages could also be used for boys. The paper I have used is Crate Paper from the "Kaitin" range. Any other double sided prints would work. There is no cardstock used on my pages but they could be sustituted in to replace a print to keep the price down. For more information contact me. Hope to see you there.

Wednesday Morning Scrapbooking 19th August

Hi to all,

That time of the week again where I give you a sneak peek of what is to come for our class on Wednesday morning. This weeks theme is School Days portrait, however any portrait can be used for this double page l/o. I have used one 5" x 7" portrait and two smaller 4" x 6" portraits that can be left that size or cropped. Landscape photos would also work just by turning the l/o around. There is lots of edge distressing, some punching, stamping, and eyelet setting. It's a fun l/o but would also be suitable for some heritage photos as it has a little vintage style about it. I tried to do it this way to suit two of my ladies this week. One has School photos that need doing and another is especially keen to make a heritage page. So thanks for the challenge Kathy and Margaret.

Remember that Scrapbooking classes are held at Hooked on Scrapbooking, Edith Street, Innisfail, near the Goondi Hotel and boookings are needed prior to the morning to confirm a place.

Baby Cards

Just a quick little post to show you what I've been busy doing. I have been making these baby nappy cards for years now and they still seem to be popular with friends and family. They are too cute. Don't you agree.

I have used small small baby washers that have been cut into fours, to make four nappies, and used what I call the kite fold nappy technique. They have been sercured with darling little coloured safety pins (even though I could only use the snappy on all of the nappies I did).

The verse is from the Big On Spring stamp set from Stampin' Up, I'm sure sure why they didn't carry this one over in the new Cataogue. I have water coloured it using crayons then applied crystal effects to glaze it.

Hope you like it.

Thx for looking

Baby Card

Hi to all,

I couldn't resist posting this photo of the Baby card I made. There is just something about Pink that makes me go all clucky.

CARD RECIPE:

- As this is a large card to fit the photo, I've used a full sheet of pretty in pink that I've just folded in half and punched the eyelet border along one edge.

- whisper white is cut at 14 x 20.5cm also punched with the eyelet border and inked with pink pirouette before stuck to card.

- pink pirouette is cut to 20 x12cm and pink d/paper is cut to 19.5 x 11.5cm. Both pieces are inked along edges with sponge and pink ink.

- stick these two layers together then wrap ribbon around the top before sticking to card front.

- outside measurement of pink pirouette frame is 10 x 14cm with two rounded corners and a 3" x 4" fiskars oval cut from centre.

- stamp polka dot b/g in pink and ink edges here too.

- paper pierce around centre of oval and make some photo corners from reverse of d/paper.

- attach photo down and pop dot frame over top

- tie cotton through buttons and felt flowers and glue to frame.

- Name is cut from the Jasmine cricut cartridge at 1" using shadow feature, then glazed over with crystal effects.

Thanks for looking

Wednesday Morning Scrapbooking August 12th

Yes here it is, a little sneek peek of this Wednesdays scrapbooking class August 12th to be held at Hooked On Scrapbooking between 9:30 am - 12:30 am.

The l/o is very bold and bright and would especially make a great kids page. My froggy is taken off the design on the t-shirt in the photo, but so many other shapes or die cuts can be used depending on your theme. Help will be given to any one who needs to change the colour scheme or the die cut with many different themes available on the day of the class. Please book either by calling or emailing ( ascorsi@bigpond.com )to get your requirments list for the class. this double page l/o is suitable for anywhere between 2 to 7 photos. If using more make sure the photos can be cropped to about 10 x 10cm.

Look forward to seeing you there.
