Journal

Hi Everyone,
So, I’ve done absolutely no scrapping this weekend but I have spent a heap of time cataloguing and going through my stash 🙂  With the craft show just 2 weeks away I needed a way to track what I have and what I don’t in a way I can easily reference and take to the show with me…
So I picked up this pretty Journal
And inside: I used the sections to record different things… I also broke down each section into colours.
Neutral glimmer mists… Cut a square of 2×2 white Bazzill and sprayed then labelled.
This is Kaiser paint… cut out circles of white Bazzill and just put a splodge on each – then recorded the name next to it.
Blue shades of Kaiser….
and Washi tape… pinks and reds.  High of my list for the show to get more of.
I have also listed out my Sizzix dies and their numbers and punched all my punches onto paper and stuck in. (Sorry forgot to take a pic of that bit)
 I sorted the punches just into 2 categories, “Martha Stewart” and “NOT Martha Stewart” 🙂
Now that I have spent the time setting it all up, I think it will be easy to maintain and I know what I have and what I don’t 🙂
Time well spent I think…

More Purple Pumpkin goodies…

Good Morning everyone,

How are we all feeling after the Purple Pumpkin sale?  I hope you all grabbed some new goodies.
I have a layout to share with you today featuring lots of yummy Purple Pumpkin details… which has also gone up on their blog.
Close ups first as I know you all love them!
Spotty buttons here and there… these would be my most used Purple Pumpkin buttons, love them!
Also lots of fussy cutting for this layout.
Twine and a Round cork and vinyl flower forms the base of my cluster.
How cute is that lil resin flower, I forgot where it’s from but I’m going to have to find out, as I have only one left!!
Love the Purple pumpkin hearts and the felt clouds I picked up a while back. The bow is Martha Stewart I picked up in a big pack of like 50 for $1 on sale at Spotlight.
And here is the full layout… so proud of my little miss, Student of the week in week 7 of her school year and it was for being a responsible and kind class member… she was so proud of herself too 🙂
I have done absolutely no scrapping this weekend, not one bit!  But I have worked on a little “project” which I’ll share soon.

A New layout for Craft Queen

Hi there everyone,

 I have always admired others monochromatic layouts and for ages and ages I have wanted to do one, so I finally did 🙂  It all started with these left over chipboard letters I had which I decided were way to large to ever be part of a title and then there were some that were different (not nice) colours and I thought I’m never going to use these up… until, brain wave… paint them with gesso (so they are a nice bright white and they look the same) and finally do that white monochromatic layout you always wanted to!!

and close ups…

Super happy with how this turned out!!
Craft Queen goodies:
Edge scallop Organza Ribbon
Organza Ribbon

Cob Web Ribbon
Crochet Flower
and
Kaiser Pearls

Flowers are Prima and Scrap Friends and the little ones I have no idea of sorry!! 🙂
Paper is Basic Grey.
