Green - Colour! Or is it Colour?

Well week 4 is all done!  Green was an interesting week.  I do really love green an find that it is so easy to scrap with.  Even just adding a little slice of green can change the whole design of a page.

I just love the leaves that I created for this page.  I cut the leaves out of Grunge Paper using the Tim Holtz die Tattered Leaves, then inked and clear embossed the leaves.  Once cooled I scrunched the leave up to add a cool texture and dimension.

Week 3 - Green

Week 3 in my Big Picture Colour Class is Green.   I just love green.   Green is such a soothing colour.  It looks great on most pages.

This picture of Will was taken on Mothers Day 2007 only a two days after he was born.  What a lovely way to spend Mothers Day.  This weeks class is all about green and going green.  The black cardstock is actually packaging from a 6x6 album that I am working on.  I have also used white Thickers and inked them as I did not have any green ones. 

Thanks for stopping by.

Orange Layout

Well here is my layout for week 2 - Yellow/Orange.  I had so many picture to choose from but I just love this one of Charlie.  The face says it all.

 

I just love the faux pleat technique that was used this week.  I can see that I will find lots more uses for this one.  I have also used the Marth Stewart Monarch Butterfly punch, butchers twine and a Tim Hotlz metal embellishment.

Colour Class - Week 2 - Orange and Yellow

Well I am now in week two of my Big Picture colour class.  This week it is a double class Orange and Yellow.  I found the perfect photo for the orange page.  This was an amazing dust storm.  This is the view we woke up to.  It was totally amazing.

I have also used a tag, distressed and inked the edges. I love how the Black Soot distress ink makes it look like it has burnt edges.  I have put a Tim Holtz metal embellishment on to add some dimension.

The next page was yellow.  I found this much more difficult.  One finding a photo with yellow.  This picture of Joe was as good as it was going to get.  I ended up using string and a chipboard circle that I painted with Viva Precious Metal - Mother of Pearl Paint.  I also used a Tim Holtz button.

I did not have any letter in yellow.  So I cut one freeahnd.  I do love how the chipboard circle turned out and I just love the Tim Holtz button.  Think I am going to have to get some more of those!!.

Red Layout

Okay so here is my red layout from my Big Picture class.  This is very first time that I have used stitching on a page.  I have used lots of different techniques and product on this page.  I am not sure if I really like this layout but I think that it is growing on me.

I have used Grunge board painted with Glimmer Glam for my flourish.  I just love the way that the flourish turned out.  It is such a rich red.  I used a technique shown in the bonus class video for the flowers.  These are actually a kaiser cream flower sprayed with Glimmer mist and then sprinked with embossing powder and then melted with a heat gun.  It gives the flowers a really cool effect.

Well I am off to start week 2.

All about Red

I have been a little behind with my colour class.  This is from week one - Red.  I have enjoyed discovering red.  It is such a vibrant colour.

I just love this photo of Will.  It was the perfect photo to use for this layout.  I am not really a fan of red but after doing this layout I really love it.

Here is a close up of the flower.  This is the Martha Stewart Chrysanthemum punch.  A customer showed us how to use the punch to make these great flowers.

More to come....

What I have been up to...

The last few days have been a little different from my normal week. On Friday I got some news that my Aunty had some chest pains and was admitted to hospital and that she was going to have to have an angiogram to see if there were any blockages. Andrea is more like a sister to me and I knew that I had to fly up to Brisbane and be there with her. So off I went on Sunday, bag full of scrapping stuff. (notice the mags on the bed!!)

Here are some of the tags that we did in the hosptial. I think the nurses thought we were a little nutty.

Andrea got the all clear. So on Tuesday she was allowed to go home. We knew that she was okay when she asked to stop at a scrapbook store on the way home!! But we made her go home and rest instead. So on Wednesday I took her to the scrapbook shop. I just love looking at other scrapbook shops, I get some many good ideas.

For afternoon tea we went to Max Brenner's for a celebration of good health!! Don't you just love what I had to celerate!!

Thanks for stopping by.
