I am back scrapping and even blogging! I NEVER thought it would happen but after a LOONG break I actually realised I missed my scrapping friends/family so much that I decided to come back to my little scrap desk and have a play!<br />
I have to thank those who have already contacted me in regards to teaching and designing. It was all a little overwhelming and I will just be dipping my toe in and taking it slow for a while. But I must say it feels good to be back.<br />
<br />
I have tackled a few challenges to get me started this month. It feels strange using all my old supplies again!<br />
<br />
So I have had a go at the challenge over on the "<a href="http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">MORE THAN WORDS"</a> site. This is a new site to me but I loved the idea of this challenge so here it is......<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was ispired by the colours and the title and also the use of paint.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Then I had a go at this months challenge at </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"SCRAP THE GIRLS". This was always a site I loved to play along with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Inspired by the colours , it reminded me of a peacock for some reason? I used the title as inspiration and added a dandelion stamp using a gold brush posca pen .</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
And lastly I had an attempt at a sketch! I find sketches hard and as usual probably went off on my own little tangent lol!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

When I was going through my photos to find one to scrap ( Which was another thing I didn't have many new ones of) I found thi of my friend Fiona Partridge. She is the craziest, funniest most talented lady I know and this made me giggle so I had to scrap it, after all that's what it is about remembering the memories! </div>

It is not intentional but sadly it has taken a back seat to the rest of my life at the moment.<br />
But today I want to catch up on all my crafty shares that have been happening around the place.<br />
<br />
Ok first.<br />
Here is my latest layout for 7 Dots studio.<br />
I have so many bits and pieces or scrap paper, my favourite stamps etc floating around my desk at the moment as I am struggling with time. ( Building a house, sporting commitments and a new job will do that!) So i challenged myself to use all these bits and pieces up in a layout and this is how I came up with this layout!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztfyCPq3RzRx-PF8PeViVcsgm14JS4js28NnKnKaM05bEm4f_3BcgC0akNFo61VtUp-mmHKb3e4d2N-dViyeCAHrgJrrq12U5S0u2lkr1sl9nysEc8gDG-i2iycjGdk2dNwcen5ZXfUw/s1600/luv+ya.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjztfyCPq3RzRx-PF8PeViVcsgm14JS4js28NnKnKaM05bEm4f_3BcgC0akNFo61VtUp-mmHKb3e4d2N-dViyeCAHrgJrrq12U5S0u2lkr1sl9nysEc8gDG-i2iycjGdk2dNwcen5ZXfUw/s1600/luv+ya.jpg" height="400" width="391" /></a></div>

I love how I can mix and match my favourites from all the 7 Dots lines and come up with a fun bright layout like this! You can find all the products and details on the <a href="http://7dotsstudio.com/archives/18715" target="_blank">7 Dots studio blog.</a></div>

I can't believe that we are in yet another year! I must admit I was happy to see the back of 2014! It had some awesome moments but some very low moments too!<br />
I feel like it has been forever since I actually had time to sit and blog and maybe even create !<br />
Last year this poor little blog was so neglected with me working every day and huge sporting commitments with the children. I don't think I have been the best member of any of my design teams either :( but it certainly isn't because I am not interested, just been a busy year!<br />
<br />
Our house is at plastering stage yah!!! I will post some pics soon!<br />
But today I want to share with you my latest layout for 7 Dots which also has a tutorial with it if you head over to their <a href="http://7dotsstudio.com/archives/18228" target="_blank">blog!</a><br />

I created this layout while at scrappy weekend last weekend which I organised in Port Fairy. I had the best time! We laughed . we ate, we talked and we did some "speed journalling". Yep you heard right, speed journalling! We had been exploring the little shops in town and we had bought a book to alter from the op shops. We then decided it would be fun to each adda piece of ourselves to each others journals. The catch was you only had 3 minutes each round and then you passed it on! Well to begin with we all freaked out but then it was so fun and so addictive we ended up journalling for 7 hours!!! LOL! I will share these pages really soon when I photograph them!<br />
<br />
I also want to share this one with you. I created this layout based on the sketch challenge at scrap the girls.<br />

I taught Maya how to make daisy chains and now I often find her doing so in the garden or anywhere we go that has daisies in the lawn.Ebony van der Starrehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06704548421314192205noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7096518935600806476.post-83126762746206064352014-11-23T01:47:00.000-08:002014-11-23T01:47:27.212-08:007 Dots "warm and cosy" challengeHi everyone!<br />

The theme this month is "Warm and Cosy", which is ironic actually as the layout I have created was a photo taken on the coldest day of my life!!<br />
We were staying in Ballarat while Will had to compete in a soccer tournament! I don't know he did it! It was nearly snowing and it meant that it was just too cold for us all to stand and watch. So my husband and I took turns at watching and stsying back at our accomodation to keep Maya warm.<br />
This photo was taken of Maya on one of these days at the Caravan park while waiting for Will. She (for a brief moment) put on her gumboots, beanie and gloves and splashed in the puddles! At least her feet stayed cosy and warm !!<br />
<br />

<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This time I have used one of the many different chipboard titles you can purchase from 2 Crafty.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These titles make it so easy to add original, fun and interesting titles to your page which sometimes I find the hardest thing to do!!! </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This one <a href="http://2crafty.com.au/craft_chipboard/heres-funny-story-unit-p-947.html">" "Here's a funny story" </a>could be used in so many different ways . I have used it on these crazy selfie photos I ALWAYS find on my phone of my daughter.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have used white cardstock as my background and used a "Dina Wakely" mask to add colour with @13 Arts mists . </span></center>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I decided that the title looked better left in it's raw form this time.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These photos always make me smile when I discover them on my phone! </span></center>

I was looking for a challenge to create the other night and I went over to <a href="http://www.thecolorrooms.com/tcr-blog" target="_blank">The Color Room </a>and took a look at their latest colour pallette.<br />
<br />

It was a fun layout to create! To incorporate grey I used grey lead pencil and grey alphas. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried t draw with a tooth pick but it didnt work so I used the end of a toothpick to do some small dots amongst my paint splatters!!</div>

I have cut small pieces of the various papers into squares and scattered them over the centre of my layout. They were just small pops of colour. To match these colours I used some mists from my stash to draw circles around my photo to add more pops of colour!</div>

I have just realised that my 7 dots creations havent showed up here on my blog as I thought I had scheduled! Oh well, I will happily share with you now!<br />
<br />
This one is the most recent one on the blog. It is a photo of my wedding day.<br />
It is a little different to my usual style a it has much darker, muted tones but still lots of 7 Dots goodies, and layering.<br />

Hi again everyone!<br />
I have a fun layout to share with you today using last months cupcake kit from a "<a href="http://apieceofcakedesigns.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Piece of cake designs'</a>'and it features a fellow designer and one of my besties <a href="http://happydaks.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Nat</a>!<br />
We earlier this year along with Raquel and some other awesomely talented friends rented a holiday unit in Mount Gambier SA. SO much fun and these were just some crazy selfies on my phone! .<br />

Once again the masks were the main feature of my layout! I have used the scalloped edges with some texture paste to create some interest on my background cardstock.<br />
I have also then used the ampersand mask with my black pen as a feature on my layout.<br />
<br />
I have also used many of the patterned papers as strips and circles on this layout along with the stickers , alphas and sequins.<br />

My children for the first time ever, adopted an Elf on the shelf!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was so adorable!!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
But I was yet to scrap any of the photos! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This kit allowed me to scrap this precious moment. The last day before our elf "Tinsel" as we named her , was to head back to the North pole til next Christmas. This meant the children who had been unable to touch her til now as the fear her magic would disappear, were able to give her a cuddle goodbye! So it was a sad day but also the best day at the same time!</div>

I have used a mix of papers that contained reds, green and even some yellow.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I used my sewing machine and some masks to create an interesting background on masking tape.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My background paper is by 7 Dots studio.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Now I have to add I have used a special veneer that was released last year!</div>

Hi everyone!<br />
I am back to share a layout I have created using the latest <a href="http://apieceofcakedesigns.com.au/item_602/August-2014-Cupcake-Kit.htm" target="_blank">cupcake kit </a>which is sold out!!<br />
This kit has pretty colours and lot's of embellishments to create a variety of layouts.It also has a great mist and some mini stencils!! What more could you need?!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkEpKON9eBtbCox4TTC57T3Zf6FDUIehedd9PALUzksYRMOMJ1YnxWXXMB3-P8__mPw3yAdCkmbYzZEqoKWQaEq6-k2rImXEMJXgB4P1AxD86ysqMZ35ISViFcRRkXJVGggs_bKc6lEGk/s1600/august+cupcake.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkEpKON9eBtbCox4TTC57T3Zf6FDUIehedd9PALUzksYRMOMJ1YnxWXXMB3-P8__mPw3yAdCkmbYzZEqoKWQaEq6-k2rImXEMJXgB4P1AxD86ysqMZ35ISViFcRRkXJVGggs_bKc6lEGk/s1600/august+cupcake.jpg" height="285" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So I have created quite a few layouts now featuring selfies by my daughter Maya, but I just love them when I find them on my phone! They make me smile and I find them to be so fun to scrap!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here is another one! Crazy girl! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They really depict her personality! She is fun loving, crazy and just funny!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used a Kaiser stamp to add to my title that says </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>"Don't let anyone ever dull your sparkle".</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This stamp is perfect for Maya and goes perfectly with the gorgeous gold title in the kit!</div>
<br />

<br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used some white cardstock as my background where I have drawn some circles . </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used the "Lindy's stamp gang mist" from the kit and some gelatos to paint the circles.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have also used the scallop borders stencil in the kit and a black pen to draw in some doodling on my background.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
As I have used the gold glittery title I wanted to add some more gold to my layout so I have used a Heidi Swapp Colour shine to draw around some of the circles and add some splashes of glimmer.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also LOVED this "cherry flair" in the kit and it worked perfectly here. </div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Thanks for popping by, Eb xx</div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have another layout to share with you featuring</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">some gorgeous products.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">These layouts came about as I was teaching my</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">daughter how to use 'Heidi Swapp color shine"</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">sprays. I gave her a little journal and she was</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">using lot's of my masks and stencils with the sprays.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As she finished with each of the masks</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I would rub the excess off the masks</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">onto a piece of white cardstock , like this one....</span></center>

</center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I have then added some stitching and washi tapes and </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">of course some 2 crafty chipboard pieces to complete</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">my layout.</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">This mask by Dina Wakely is my favourite at the moment </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">and the<b><a href="http://2crafty.com.au/craft_chipboard/loopy-font-unit-p-1091.html"> loopy font "you"</a> </b>was perfect to use as a </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">substitute on the mask! </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">It is coloured with a Faber Castell</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">gelato and then stamped</span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">with a script stamp.</span></center>

It's always a buzz to watch ladies being inspired by your ideas and embracing new things. Thank you to all the awesome sponsors that made my class possible. </div>
I had the best time with some amazingly talented ladies. I didn't get a lot of scrapping done but lots of fun, photos, and laughter!!!<br />

I have a layout to share today using the June Cupcake kit from a piece of cake designs.<br />

I seem to have trouble sometimes scrapping the important memories, the special occasions. This photo is from Easter this year just after the kids found all their Easter eggs hidden by the Easter bunny.<br />

<div>
Once again lots of different strips of the papers in the kit to create layers on my background.</div>
<div>
I have then used watercolour paints to add colour and acrylic paints.</div>
<div>
As always i have used my sewing machine and added in some different stamps. I LOVE the various words on the sticker sheet in the kit and these worked extremely well on my layout!</div>

<br />
The papers in the Domestic goddess range were perfect for this layout!I used papers from the "Domestic Goddess" range and the "Messy Head" range as my background.The background paper is so beautiful too , it's called "Women's talk". You can find all these products linked in my post <a href="http://7dotsstudio.com/archives/category/blog" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
I have added colour with water colour paints and Faber Castell Gelatos<br />
<br />
<br />

These beautiful chipboard pieces are form the Illumination Range and I have covered with Gesso and then used Gelatos again to colour them.<br />

This layout is a photo of my daughter who LOVES</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
to read!! She is also a great, animated story teller and I really</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
wanted to document this aspect of her life. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Often when we go shopping and if she has some pocket money , more </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
often than not she goes straight for the book sections</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
in the stores.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
used a tag from the kit to highlight and frame my </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Instagram photo.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used lots of different strips of the papers,</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
as well as the sticker sheet in the kit.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have participated in the previous two of these online classes and they were the best classes I have ever done. The artists were out of this world talented! My favourite artists. Now to be one of them is just so overwhelming and hard to believe! I am also petrified!!!<br />
I have only made one video ( which I havne't even shared lol) so am learning all the technical stuff that comes with this gig!<br />
Well wish me luck and I hope to see many of your creations as you join in with us!!!<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
This time I have used different sized strips of the various papers to create my background. I then used Faber Castell gelatos over them to highlight and give an arty feel.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I have also sewed over parts of my page and used a text stamp over the top of my papers.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Xh_sMQjEXmAFRnPLPGpaD9F2FXjOgdicyYH1YwjVmnR_8AD0cZbQphMWPXzw8G4remK3QIx_UeJvEEc9263lc-Y1nRlmh4DMRxTZ3eotFdMgggW7kq2QvVrnFt9QMsVSw_wssr_3BAw/s1600/poe+up+close1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1Xh_sMQjEXmAFRnPLPGpaD9F2FXjOgdicyYH1YwjVmnR_8AD0cZbQphMWPXzw8G4remK3QIx_UeJvEEc9263lc-Y1nRlmh4DMRxTZ3eotFdMgggW7kq2QvVrnFt9QMsVSw_wssr_3BAw/s1600/poe+up+close1.jpg" height="266" width="400" /></a></div>

This layout was totally inspired by this awesome piece of paper in the kit! I knew straight away that I wanted to cut out the chevrons and use as the main focus of my layout!!!<br />

I used mists in the same colours and as always added some stamping and sewing to create interest.<br />

Once I had sewn the black circle with my sewing machine I added a circle from the yellow wire to frame my photos. I also once again loved using the sticker words on the Echo park sticker sheet and just added some of my own rub ons and alphas to create a different look from my previous layouts.<br />
