Retreat shares and new Kaszazz catalogue!

I was lucky enough to be at retreat the previous weekend...how good for the soul! I have to confess, I have the best bunch of ladies, lot's of chatter and laughs, couldn't ask for better especially during these times. Bonus was, I actually managed some scrapping too ;)

This layout is using the "whimsical forest" paper range from Kaszazz, plus various stamps, chipboard and die cuts from Kaszazz. The photo was taken by my talented sister, Carly Skinner Photography

 

This time I've used the gorgeous "stellar" range from Kaszazz, as well as various stamps and die cuts.

Also creating a few Christmas cards using the "Greetings from Australia" range.
 

Yesterday, Kaszazz released their new catalogue and it’s an absolute beauty! I’m absolutely loving the 2 new ranges released and can't wait to get my hands on them. You can view the new products through my web store HERE...grab a coffee and enjoy! I'm especially loving that the have the Dylusions and Distress Paints in the new flip-top lid, LOL now to get through my old stuff ;)

Thanks for stopping by and any comments you may leave me, are very much appreciated, thank you.

Happy scrapping!

Creative shares

 Hello! I thought I had better take more care with this little blog, especially as I receive gentle nudges from one particular reader 😉 very grateful to her and whomever else visits here.

In honour of Father’s Day coming up, I created a few cards. It was rather fun to create more masculine backgrounds. I used all Kaszazz products for these ones...

Close up of a couple of my cards...

I’ve also been doing a bit of scrapbooking...

This one using the gorgeous ‘nature lover’ range. All these products and more can be found on my Kaszazz Web Store, which you can find HERE. Grab a cuppa and take a browse.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy scrapping!

September Kraft + Challenge

 Spring has Sprung! There is a fresh new challenge over at Kraft Plus Challenges, how gorgeous is it!

I knew exactly what I was going to use for this challenge, but as it was, I simply took inspiration from the Dina Wakley stamp. Instead I really wanted to created a layout using all Kaszazz products and in particular, this fabulous face stencil. With the addition of the paper and arrows, this worked perfectly with the challenge.

I used Distress Oxide Sprays to add the pop of colour and to colour in the lips and eye.

The journaling has been added after snapping this photo, but essentially it's about my daughter following her dream of becoming a 'make-up' artist, though these photos are her modeling her partners look, not her own.

You can see the gorgeous inspiration from the rest of the Kraft+ team HERE...they are worth the look!

I'm little bit excited to now have my own KASZAZZ Web Store, which you can find HERE. 

 

This gives you the ability to browse and shop online, at your leisure, with delivery direct to your door. All orders over $99 have free freight, in Australia.

Happy Scrapping!

August Kraft+ Challenge

Hello! Today I'm sharing my take on this month's gorgeous colour challenge over at Kraft+ Challenges. Isn't this month's mood board a beauty <3

I completed an art journal page, as I'm truly enjoying the freedom of art journaling at the moment. I don't put myself under the same pressure and it's a bit more playful, if you get what I mean. Here I've used a cut-out from the Dina Wakley Collage Collective on a background created with the orange, teal & copper using a mix of stencils and paints.

With a close up of the copper, which has a shiny, polished look.

Check out the amazing inspiration from the rest of the team HERE and don't forget to join us ;)

Thanks for stopping by and thank you for any comments you may leave me.

Happy scrapping!

July More Than Words Challenge

Hello!!!
Today I'm sharing a layout I created for the More Than Words challenge. I know, right now you don't know what is more surprising...that I scrapped or that I'm posting on my much neglected blog ;)

Anyway, with a bit of a nudge, I thought I'd actually join in a challenge...

For my take on the challenge, I thought I would scrap my son's last day of school ever! It's actually the end of all schooling for my children, an 'end of era' kind of thing for this emotional mum. We celebrated all together with a late lunch, as luck would have it, we were all home to do it.

I swear the colours are more monochromatic than they have photographed??? Using all Kaszazz products, except for the 'goodbye' lettering.
Thank you for stopping by. Stay happy & healthy.

March Kraft+ Challenge!

Hello, hello! I know, I'm a VERY slack blogger! I think I may have missed a couple of months, sorry. Instagram has become so easy and is far more interactive, that it is my 'go to' form of social media.

This month's challenge over at Kraft Plus is all about DIY Stamps! 

I was super excited when I initially saw this challenge, as I always wanted to create my own stamps. I've always been inspired by Louise Nelson's DIY stamps and wanted to give it a try myself. Sadly, this remains on my 'to do' list, as I simply didn't get myself organised.

I have to confess I feel like I cheated on this one, as my stamps are DIY, but they are not created by me! I was lucky enough to have a talented friend, who had a load of stamps she had created herself out of craft foam...thank you Ronnie x

She had cut out shapes and clued them to a foam floor mat, too clever...they looked incredibly professional! As I had my gel plate out, I used it to add the paint to the stamp, getting a nice even coverage. I also used a toilet roll with paint for the pink circles.

"Sock cat" is about our kitten who temporarily needed a sock to protect a wound she received while wrestling with her 'sister'. This was already our 2nd visit to the vet in her short life, so it was important to us to help it heal as quickly as possible. A sock ended up being the solution! LOL we ended up going through a few old socks.

Check out the amazing creations by the rest of the Design Team HERE.

I hope you find time and inspiration to join us this month.

September Kraft Plus Challenge!

Good morning and hello Spring! Spring is my favourite season of the year and this month's colour challenge is one of my favourites too!

Kraft Plus Challenges September Challenge...

How gorgeous is this mood board, I love it, though as I said, I'm a huge fan of this colour combo. I loved creating with this challenge, which is good considering I've misplaced my original layout! So much for being organised, but here is take two...

This was when my son was absolutely obsessed with skulls, so this stencil from Flutterby Designs was perfect for this. I also used another stencil by Flutterby to replicate the strips in the mood board. I used some very old rub-on's for my words and the chipboard cogs to replicate the circles from the mood board.
As always, the DT have done an outstanding job with this challenge, you can see it HERE.
I hope you put this on your 'to do list' this month and share with us on the Kraft Plus Community Group.
Happy Scrapping!
