Retreat creations.

Hello! Last month I was lucky enough to go to retreat...such a treat! This was our 28th retreat and our 10th year, certainly something to celebrate...and we did!

For ease of packing, I stick with all my Kaszazz products. LOL that's still an embarrassingly lot!

I finished off an art journal page which was started an eternity ago. I'm not really sure where I was originally going with it, but it finally came together after a slow start.

The background is created using Dylusions paint. The stamped fish are coloured in with alcohol ink pens (TriBlend).

 

 

Again, this background had been started previously, this time using Distress Paints. The collage papers are the new Home Sweet Home collage papers from Kaszazz. I cut out the cute little houses individually and stuck them down.

Here are close-ups of the journal spread, showing the cute Home Sweet Home Collage Papers and the background stamping.

 

 

I also did a bit of scrapbooking, haha I know, it's been a while. Here I've used the 'Spring Meadow' range..it's such a pretty range.

All products used can be purchased through Kaszazz, you can find my Web Store HERE. I am also happy to help with any needs.

Thank you for stopping by.

Happy crafting!

June Kraft+ Challenge

 Hello, how are you all? It's officially Winter here, perfect weather to be staying indoors and crafting...which is exactly what I have done. Haha we won't mention that it's super late for this month's challenge over at Kraft+ Challenges. I was lucky enough to be at retreat, but the layout I started for this challenge, didn't fit as well as another that I had started and ended up putting aside for another challenge. Anyway, in case you haven't seen the fabulously bright and fun challenge for K+, here it is...

I loved the brightness of the colours and of course all the circles and stripes of the candy, which is what lead me to this...

I used a mix of Dylusions and Distress paints for my background, using the circular gel plate...all of which you can buy through my Kaszazz Web Store, in fact all the products used for this layout, you can find HERE. I created stripes on my gel plate before stamping it randomly around my page. I watered down some of the Distress paint to create drips down my page for my defined stripes.I added some stripey paper from Floral Splash Collage Paper Pads. I didn't have any chipboard that I could spell out 'life is sweet', but 'Home Sweet Home' worked well for the photos and the challenge.

How cute is this chipboard from the 'Home Sweet Home' pack, I popped out the insert of the tree and used it separately on the house.

Pop over to the Kraft+ Challenge Blog to see the gorgeous layouts created by the rest of the team, you'll find it HERE.

Thank you for stopping by, it's much appreciated.

Happy crafting!

ArtStacks Play...don't forget to play!

Hello! Today I'm sharing a quick art journal page using the little 6 inch Dina Wakley white art journal to showcase my ArtStacks goodies. After creating a very quick and easy background of paint and gloss spray, which were both painted on. I added the Tim Holtz butterfly, as I was also using the butterflies from ArtStacks Anemones and Friends Corestack, adding one of the butterflies as wings to the cut-out doll from the new Dressmaker CardStack. I love that these dolls now come in a variety of colours.

With the addition of a title from the Words of Wisdom MiniStack and the page is done. Sometimes life only allows you quick and easy, there is certainly nothing wrong with that!

 

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy crafting!
