Summer Fun Blog Hop

Hi Crafty Friends.

Today I am joining in on the fun over at Let's Scrap Sketches! They have a super fun Blog Hop on running from the 1st of July to the 7th of July 2016 and there are LOADS of yummy prizes to win!

I had to take a photo of my workspace/room as it is whether tidy or not! My craft room's light need to be fixed, so I am working on the breakfast nook table at the moment. I am busy making cards for my SIL's shop (finished approx. 80 cards and still a couple more to go), so no time for scrapping! Hopefully I will be able to participate in this week's STUNNING sketch challenge.

Here is a pic of my workspace:

Now I am off to visit all of the participating blogs and will catch you later ;-)

Thank you for stopping by and your comment is much appreciated.

Take care till next time:-)

'Bak & Brou by Ouma Joey' : 6-15-16 - Let's Scrap Sketch

It's really been quite a while since I have scrapped  . . . no mojo and all these mixed-media-single-photo-layouts all over the www were very intimidating as I like to scrap double pages and my page must tell it's own little story.

I also haven't done any of the Let's Scrap Sketch challenges for many many moons . . .

6-15-16 - Let's Scrap Sketch:

I chose to turn the sketch upside down :-)

So, here's my take on the latest challenge:

The photos are of my DGD3 who visited her other Granny and they baked cupcakes together. . .  or shall I rather say, the little one did what little ones do ;-)

I have sooooo much patterned papers in my stash and used a very old collection which suited best with my photos.

The chipboard embellishments are by Enmarc Crafts and were sprayed with Enmarc Dazzles : Bermuda, Summer Fields and Lemon Meringue and some were glazed after the Dazzles were dry. Then a few of the paper flowers were sprayed with Dazzles : Misty Maroon.

Other embellishments (ribbon, beads, half pearls, paper flowers) are from my stash.

Here are a few close-ups:

ALWAYS - Paper Bag Mini Album

I watched a youtube video by Steffi Miller (Live with Prima) - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDCIuB8lH6I

and so I wanted to make one too ;-)

The album consists of 2 paper bags, patterned papers and embellishments. I really enjoyed making this mini album!

I used brown paper bags which I painted black. The patterned papers are from a very old Prima range and so are the flowers and metal stamp embellishment. 

Other embellishments are from Enmarc Crafts and are listed below. The Roman Brackets and the word 'always' were sprayed with Dazzles : Anthracite. I added black Stickles and Glaze to the word as well. I used the Alpha Disk to create a spinner to add to the mini album.

Paper Bag Gift Bag - Mixed Media

This gift bag started off to be a quick decorated bag for a gift I wanted to send to my daughter. As always, one idea led to another and I ended up with a mixed media gift bag!

The finished bag:

First a layer of gesso

Then some stamping with Finnabair stamps and Memento Luxe:Rhubarb Stalk

Pasted scraps of old book paper down and then added more texture using Enmarc Crafts Arty Stencils 

First I used Dewdrops:Tea Leaves and then pink and chocolate texture paste

Next I sprayed the doily with Dazzles:Eggshell and pasted a section of the sprayed doily down and added more white texture paste

Whilst the texture paste was drying, I painted a green silk flower with white gesso and when it was dry, I sprayed it with Dazzles:Mystic Olive & Avocado. Then some Finnabair stamping when the flower was dry.

I also sprayed a couple of paper flowers with Dazzles

The Deco Frame:Doodle Square was inked with green and then chocolate texture paste added randomly. The the fun part was decorating the paper bag :-) I also used Finnabair art ingredients for the decoration.
