Exclusive APOCD wooden veneer frame :)

 Back again to share a layout with you once again using this month's "Cupcake kit".
This layout features the exclusive wooden veneers that Raquel was clever enough to design exclusively for "A piece of cake designs". I love it!!!

I have used it to add extra layers behind my photo but you could also use it as the photo matt itself.

I have also used from the kit a variety of the patterned papers which I have torn into various sizes and shapes and adhered to a white background mixed with some old dictionary paper and some white patterned tissue paper.. I then covered with some gesso.

Next I have added in some stamping with the awesome splatter stamp in the kit with the gorgeous grey chalk ink pad also from this months kit. I have also used the aqua chalk ink from a previous kit with the same stamp!. Other stamping includes some hearts ( hero arts Stamp) , the arrow by Technique Tuesday and the circle one is a cocoa daisy stamp. 

Once this was done I took some element stickers from the "Pebbles Inc" sticker sheet in the kit and added  as embellishments on my page.

Add in some washi tape both from the kit and my own supplies and splatter some paint and there you have another layout created with an awesome , versatile kit!!!

I have added in some wooden veneer shapes and some sticker words from my own stash too!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Back soon! Eb x

A Piece of cake November Cupcake kit...

Hi everyone,
Yep it's been a while again! But I am here to post a layout I have created with November's "Cupake kit" by "A Piece of cake designs".
I must say I LOVE this kit! Really my colours and I am finding it so easy to play with!

                                                                 Here is my layout!

To create this background  I first covered with gesso and then I took the newspaper type paper from the kit by "Pebbles Inc" and cut it into a few small, uneven pieces and glued to my cardstock. I then used watercolours to paint over each of them.
I then, instead of using a sewing machine I just doodled in some faux stitching!

I then cut various elements that I liked from the various papers like the numbers and the speech bubble and used as embellishments. I also used the "Pebbles Inc" cardstock stickers from the kit and the cool large red sequins!

The alphabet is also from the kit and I LOVE these!!! Add some doodling to them and voila!

Thanks for popping by, Eb xx

Only a couple...

Well only a few challenges achieved this month :(..........

I seem to have time at the start of each month and then it just gets harder and harder to find the time!!! I created a couple of layouts for various challenges at the start of the month and am only finding time to share now!!

This one I loved......It is the quote for "Scrap the girls" this month.

                   "Friendship isn't a big thing - it's a million little things."  Author Unknown

I have used lots of paint and mists mixed with some gesso and book paper and these totally awesome chipboard film strips by

"2 Crafty".

This next one is for the sketch over at "Scrap Friends".

The chipboard feathers by "Imaginarium designs" were perfect for this sketch!!!.

Until next time! Eb xx

Just a couple of challenges...

I have just got a couple of layouts to share with you today that are based on a couple of challenges for the month. I love doing the various challenges each month when I find a spare moment to scrap.
Here is my entry for "White with one" . The criteria this month is to use white of course! with watermelon.

 This layout is again of my dearest friend Marelle Jackman. We both had a photo shoot done while at "Camp mojo" with the talented Jen Hall.
I pulled out all my watermelon coloured inks, paints and mists and embellishments to create this!

Next is my entry for the "Scrap the boys" challenge! This month the challenge is to use blue and green on your layout! Check!!

The awesome title was cut out by "Flutterby designz". Cool isn't it?!
I have also used a "cherry flair" as always!!
Thanks for stoppping by and for all your kind comments on Maya's layout!!!

I love that she loves to create!

I love that Maya loves to create as much as I do! I love  listening to watching her as she creates and listening to her ideas. These holidays she decided to give the "Kids Mood board" a go on the "Jot Magazine" blog.

She often sits while I scrap and paints and draws and when it came to doing this layout she asked if she could paint like me on her page to make a rainbow......so sweet!!! She also LOVES washi tape and knew she needed to use some on her layout.
The cutest thing was she said, "Mum it needs sparkles......every page should have sparkles!!'. She is a girl who knows exactly what she wants!! LOL.

Thanks for stopping by. I have been creating too so have some to share!

Just squeezed this one in...

I managed another layout last night! Think I needed some "me " time away from panadol and vomit!
So I played along with the "Kraft it up" challenge this month which is this sketch.

  And here is my interpretation of the sketch.......

I had fun with this one. I have trouble using kraft at times but I was happy with how this turned out. I think it's actually more clean and simple than my normal style. What do you think?

I have used some cute products from flutterby designz too! Thanks Anita !

Anyway, I'm off to complete my last unit for my certificate while we are resting with my little poppet.

Thanks for stopping by and for all your kind comments!

Skissedilla sketch #226

Well I have a poor sick little poppet today who has slept on and off most of the day and another son who was more than happy to play with his lego and xbox all day so I snuck into my scrap space to scrap this layout based on the sketch at "skissedilla".

I decided to create a crazy, colourful background using gelatos, mists and stamping.

I have scapped these photos before but I love them so much i scrapped them again! Do you do that too?
Anyway, better go and check on my poppet, Eb xx
