Hi everyone!!

I am back to share a layout created using the latest cupcake kit

from A piece of Cake Designs.

I know I say it all the time but this kit is my favourite!!!!

I LOVE all the papers in it, the mask is my all time favourite and

the Lindy's Stamp gang mist is totally AWESOME!!

This is my first layout to share! 

As always stitching and a mixed media type background onto

white cardstock. 

I used the Dina Wakely mask with grey 

Faber Castell gelatos as a feature on my background.

I then used the "NOTED" tag as the main feature

to highlight and frame my photo.

I have cut strips from the papers as well as small words

and used stickers from the sticker sheet to embellish 

my layout. 

And I LOVE the cherry fair!!!!!

I will be back again next week with another creation

to share! Thanks , Eb xx

Another layout using the last cupcake kit....

Hi again everyone,
I have another layout to share using this month's cupcake kit

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.

 I have also sewed over parts of my page and used a text stamp over the top of my papers.

I have used more of the papers as circles and other shapes. All the stickers are from the Echo Park sticker sheet including the title.

Thanks for popping by, Eb xx

New DT and a new blog!

Wow! Lot's of news to share today!
Firstly I am so thrilled to announce that I have been chosen to be apart of the design team for 7 Dots studio!!! This is so hard for me to believe and I think I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.

Another obvious change is my blog!!!
The amazingly talented Anita Rodway designed this new look for me and I totally love it!!! Thank you Anita!

In other news I have a layout to share. This is another layout created using the Main kit at "A Piece of cake designs".

I have created yet another boys layout. I knew straight away when I saw this paper in the kit I just add to use it as background. I have used various strips from the papers and the vellum mixed with some old dictionary paper to create a background and then used various stamps quite randomly.

 These cool scrabble type letters are also from the kit and I loved using the stickers again!!!
I added the My minds eye buttons and the exclusive flair from the kit.

These tabs were originally on the My mind's eye button sheet as banners but I cut them down and used as tabs instead :)

Thanks for popping by. I'm off on a scrappy weekend with some awesome friends so I cannot wait!

Hi everyone,

I have another layout to share with you using the latest cupcake kit! 

And YES! it's another purple layout!!!!

This time I used a collage of the papers in the kit own the sides of my cardstock and then covered them with a light coating of white gesso.

 I then used black cotton on the sewing machine over the top using both zigzag stitch and straight stitch.
I then used a mixture of stamps including Heidi Swapp and Prima to add interest to each side. I used Faber Castell gelatos to colour in my stamped squares.
I also used the purple Twinkling H20 with some water to drip down my sides as well as some watered down acrylic paint.

I used some purple spotted washi tape from my stash and the title is also some letters from my own supplies.

This collage technique is a great way to use up your scraps of paper and is so easy to do!

I used PURPLE!!!!

Ok, I have a confession to make.... I hate the colour purple! BUT this kit has made me change my mind!!

I actually loved using it! This kit had a mix of beautiful colours, yellows, purples, greys, aqua and even red. I LOVED putting these layouts together and I even used lot's of paper on one layout!
Here is the first of my layouts....

This layout started off by using the chevron patterned papers which inspired my use of colours here.
I used some yellow paint on some white cardstock mixed with some blue paint with the Teresa Collins Heart stencil from the kit to create my background. Add in some machine stitching, various washi tapes from my own stash and some stamping.
I added the cut out camera and a cherry flair to be released soon :) along with some sticker elements from the sticker sheet in the kit.
The title was created tracing the letters from the Teresa Collins alphabet stencil and coloured in with a green Faber Castell gelato.

Close up of the camera cut out.


This next layout  was the first of my "purple " layouts and pushed me out of my comfort zone!

I began by selecting a range of papers from the kit that included purples, yellows and a bit of  tangerine in them. I tore and cut these papers and layered until i was happy. I then took the alphabet stencil and coloured over it with a yellow gelato.  ( you could spray with mist or use paint ). I then sprayed it with water and used it like a stamp over my papers on my background. 

I then sewed over my papers and added some stencils, stamping and some washi tapes. 

My title is from the kit which I loved! It makes me want to buy a silhouette for myself!

I also once again added a new flair to be released soon, and some of the gorgeous sequins .

Until next time, Eb x
