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

More of a Piece of cake Designs...

Hi everyone! I wanted to share with you this grungy, boyish, fun layout today using the contents from the main kit this month from "A Piece of Cake designs".

There are lots or gorgeous papers and embellishments in this month's kit that can be used for both feminine or masculine layouts. This time I have created this one!

The  kraft cardstock was my base to begin with and using lot's of different strips of the various papers I created a background for this photo of Will taken a few years ago!
To add a grungy feel I used a sewing machine to add in some messy black stitching and added a layer or some white gesso over the background using an old credit card.

Once again I loved using the film strip stickers and this time used the basic grey scrabble letters as my title.
I painted some of the cute veneer shapes to match my circular panel.
I have added some circular panels by 2 Crafty to add some dimension to my page.
As I always do I used various stamps to add interest to my layout!

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something BLUE!!

This month at "Scrap the Girls" the challenge is to be inspired the good old saying...

"SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW, SOMETHING BORROWED, SOMETHING BLUE"
So I decided to find one of my wedding photos and have a go at scrapping it!

It was quite ironic actually because I had printed this butterfly to use on a canvas a few months ago and every time I clean up I considered throwing it ! But each time I just added to the pie of bits and pieces on my desk and when I saw this challenge I knew straight away how I could use it!!
So the main aspect of this saying that inspired me was the BLUE part!!! LOL!

Hi everyone,

This month I have been playing with the latest  A piece of cake designs Main kit.

I love the versatility of this kit as at first glance it appears quite masculine.

So I wanted to challenge myself to creating a page that had a more feminine, yet fun

and young page.

So this is my first layout to share with you ......

I have chosen a paper from the kit and used a sewing machine

to sew a swirl effect as my background

I have cut pieces from other pieces of papers in the kit to place

under my photo. I then applied some acrylic paint and 

some watercolour paint to my background.

I used the paper with triangles all over it

to cut out various triangles keeping in mind my color scheme.

I also used some cut out card stock circles from my stash of card stock and added

some spotted washi tape. 

I LOVED the piece of vellum with the stars all over it and used it to cut

out some circles to add to my background.

Another thing I LOVED abot this kit were the awesome black stickers!!

I have used the film strip, one of the cameras and the insta lovin title!

Totally easy and really effective!!

I tried to use the scrabble type letters on this page and it 

didn't work so I used a Heidi Swapp Stamp instead

and coloured the letters in with some brush watercolour markers.

But don;t worry, I found a use for the scrabble letters on a another

layout which I will share next time!!

Thanks for looking, Eb x

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
