Peek a Boo | Scrappy Canary

Hey Scrappy Friends

Today Im sharing a new layout for Scrappy Canary using the January Scrapbook kit Andy

This kit has so many awesome products jam packed into it! The colours are perfectly mixed for any style of scrapbooking. I especially love the Die cut pack, had to stop myself from using it all on one page!

The photos Ive chosen to share on this layout are of my usual subject, doing the usual, being cute and uncooperative all at once lol

 I started the page with some triangular strips of the Fancy Pants 'All Positive' paper in the corners, and sewed them down using straight and zigzag stitches

Ive layered my photos with some vellum, a piece of the reverse side of 'My Happy' paper and a few mini doilies, then made groups of embellishment clusters from the Die cut pack

 These feathers are so pretty! Its a shame they only put a few in the pack as I want to put them on everything!

Lastly the title, it definitely was a Peek a Boo moment!

Thanks so much for stopping by today

Together | Scrappy Canary

Hello and Happy Weekend!!

Im back today with another layout share for Scrappy Canary using the current Leila Scrapbook kit, and some coordinating stickers from the Maggie Holmes Shine collection.

I actually started this page without a specific photo in mind. I really wanted to made a grid with random cards from the cut apart sheet mixed with some of the reverse black and off white stripe paper. It started off very similar to a previous page I had made, I've been doing that a bit lately!

I ended up chosing another photo from my cousins wedding for this layout, taken by Enchanted Wedding Photography. Another sneaky photo taken, without us knowing, and I love it! It certainly was a lovely day, and we loved that Leila was able to share the occasion with us too. I felt the sentiments on the cards and the photo of the 3 of us together worked perfectly together

I kept the grid of cards pretty simple, I cut the different cards all the same size and roughed up the edges, then layered with off cuts of papers, some heart and word stickers

even layered up some tags and cards from the ephemera pack

and lastly a extra pop of colour to the right of the photo with some more stickers and a acetate word for the title

Thanks for stopping by the last 2 days, I hope to have more to share with you very soon!

Happy Scrapping

Remember Love | Scrappy Canary

Hi Scrappy friends!!

Im back today with a new layout share for Scrappy Canary using the current Scrapbook kit Leila and the Maggie Holmes Add on kit. Ive made 6 layouts in total so far, and still got plenty of papers and bits to use up!

The photo Im sharing with this layout is of Leila at my cousins wedding early last year. So well behaved and sitting nicely. I didn't even know that this was taken, but boy am I glad that it was. Certainly one of my favourites. However It was only moments before a sudden outburst that she needed to go to the toilet right then and there!!

Ive kept the papers and embellishments to a minimum with this layout, as I really wanted the photo to be the main focus of the page, along with the large mixed title

If you hadn't already guessed, I do like to mix up my titles. Whether it be different alpha stickers or die cut words, even cards from cut apart papers work well for mixed titles

I've also added in some stickers from the co-ordinating Maggie Holmes sticker sheet that I had in my stash, and splattered some black Color shine to finish the page off

Thanks for stopping by today

more to share tomorrow

Happy Scrapping!!

Clever Clonkers.. for Scrappy Canary

Hey Everyone, 

2 layout shares in 1 day!! 

This one is for Scrappy Canary using the October kit..

Theres not much left of these kits in my stash. I could still squeeze out another layout or 2, however this is the last one I've made with them. Im super excited to see the newly released kits, and can't wait to get creating with them! 

Back to todays layout share..

Clever Clonkers is a name Leila uses quite a lot. We have no idea where it came from, but its quite cute, and has stuck around for months now. So when we saw that she had set herself up for family movie night just like this, we thought she was definitely a 'Clever Clonkers' lol

Family movie night for us lately, usually starts off with the 3 of us snuggled in bed watching something together, then Leila getting bored if its not something disney related, us switching to some form of Marvel comic Movie or tv show and leila watching age appropriate videos on youtube before being tucked into bed.. This night she skipped the snuggles in bed and made a nest for herself out of all the cushions from around the house. Genius plan!

Random scraps from papers, fanned out and tucked under the layered photo stack

Cute little house from the die cut pack, works with the layout as we were all at home, yet still random and fun! 

Ive used a mix of puffy stickers and thickers for the title, and layered some more die cuts with a circle of pattern paper

Originally I had handwritten the journalling on the Today card from the die cut pack, but I made a booboo so I re-typed the journalling using my super old / dried up typewriter and covered up my mistake. I've layered this with another tag from the die cut pack and some ripped washi tape

Random splatters of Color shine around the page, a few enamel hearts and some crazy stamping finish off the page.

Thanks for stopping by today.. 

Be sure to keep an eye out for some fresh new layouts, once I get my hands on the new kits!!

Cant wait!

Giving new things a whirl

Hello fellow Crafters!!

Im sharing another layout thats recently been published. This was made using the Scrappy Canary April Mayfair Scrapbook kit, and features in Vol 18, Issue 5 of Scrapbooking Memories Magazine

I've been wanting to try out the technique of using the negative of an alpha set, and thought what a better set than this one with its multi coloured letters!! This was so much fun to make, and turned out awesome!

Ive used multiple photos of Leila's first day at Kinder this year. Backed them all with papers from the kit and flagged each of them with vellum for notes. Each of them is popped up with some foam tape above, yet again, a signature doily ;)

A quick journal note about the day, on the tag provided in the kit, embellished with a star clip and puffy stickers from Studio Calico

I wrote my journalling straight onto the page, something that I've not been adding to layouts recently.

Lastly a close up of the negative alpha background, and a card from the cut apart sheet. I've added a strip from the Espresso sheet to use as my title

Thats all from me today

Thanks for stopping by, Happy Scrapping

Oh how fun.. for Scrappy Canary

Hey Everyone!

Michelle back with a new layout for Scrappy Canary using a mix of both current kits.

Venice Beach Scrap kit & the Santa Monica Project Life kit

This page has been added to my favourites list. 

It was so much fun to create, and came together quite easy

I knew I wanted to work with some form of grid style for these photos, so the 'Quest' paper was the first paper I went for. I chose 3 squares that suited the theme of the photos, then layered them up with other co-ordinating coloured squares from the same paper. I felt that the page was showing too much white, so I've added in the strip of 'Keen' striped paper, then some torn strips of washi tape and some pink scrap paper.

These two are hilarious!! They have so much fun together, and really make us laugh

How can I say no to a doily! And how adorable is that photo!

Another fun photo! So glad I have these moments captured!

Ive added in a tag from the ephemera pack, so that it wasn't all straight lines around the page

and lastly, I've repeated the washi and paper strip to the right had side and added in some repetitive stamping (easiest way to clean off a roller stamp lol), puffy stickers and an enamel dot 

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you're having an enjoyable week

Happy Scrapping

Twinkle Toes.. for Scrappy Canary

Hey Scrappy Peeps!! Im sharing a new layout for Scrappy Canary today.

Today Im sharing a new layout using the main Scrapbook kit Venice Beach and a very random mix of embellishments!

You can see the super cute Zebra has made its way onto this page, purely for its cuteness! It has nothing to do with the photo of Leila dancing, as she does best. My Nan gave her the name Twinkle Toes as she is always 'twinkling' and never really standing still

I've used a mixture of rub ons all over the page, the main cluster of flowers and leaves have been rubbed onto white cardstock before being fussy cut and popped up with some foam tape

Quick tip for any of the acetate pieces.. they have a film coating on one side that needs to be peeled off, ensure you peel it off for a crystal clear look. 

A few different layers of cut and ripped pattern papers sit under the photo, kept together with the gold heart paper clip and another acetate piece

Lastly a close up of the torn strips of the gold spot washi tape by Dear Lizzy and the Amy Tangerine pattern paper that has been tucked under the striped paper (top and bottom)

I hope this has inspired you in some way to use up random things that don't necessarily have anything to do with the story you are telling :)

Thanks for stopping by today 

I hope to have more to share soon mixing up both kits

Happy Scrapping

Sunday Love.. for Scrappy Canary

Hello There!

Two posts in one day!

This one I'm sharing for Scrappy Canary

Its quick, bright and so fun!

Ive used a good handful of ephemera pieces from the die cut pack in the Venice Beach kit, along with strips of pattern papers, some enamel dots and splatters of bright pink using a distress ink dauber

The fruit themed paper and die cuts worked perfectly for this photo of Leila showing off her new watermelon dress before we headed off the other day. She's such a poser some days!

I made clusters of ink splatters around the page before adhering everything down. I stamped some fun  phrases with the Amy Tangerine roller stamp that was released with this collection

I've also splattered over the word Sunday on the Dear Lizzy paper, as the photo was taken on a Sunday

I wasn't sure how I could use these fruit pieces when I first saw them, but layering them in a cluster with some extra shapes and an enamel dot looks good

Along the bottom I've added some torn washi strips and another strip of pattern paper

Thats all from me today, be sure to check back in again soon for another scrappy share

Just be Cool.. with Scrappy Canary kits

Happy Sunday everyone!

A quick layout share from me today using the current Scrappy Canary Scrapbook kit

This one came together quite quickly. Im really enjoying crafting with kits again, and seem to be smashing them out in the last few days! So far I've made 4 with just the Scrapbook kit alone, and I still have plenty to use for more!

Its quite tricky to get Leila to stay still for photos lately! Ive had to resort to a bit or bribery to get cool dude poses like this one!

Did I tell you last post just how much I LOVE ephemera packs? 

Perfect for layering together in clusters 

and adding the perfect finishing touch to empty space 

layer, stick or staple and you're done!

it Really is that simple! Ive also added in some ripped strips of washi tape... which I need more of!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy scrapping

Finders Keepers.. for Scrappy Canary

Hello Everyone!!

Super excited to be back sharing some fresh layouts with the newly released Scrapbook kit

Venice Beach for Scrappy Canary!

The kit features papers and embellishments from Amy Tangerine, Dear Lizzy & Bella Blvd and is full of bright happy colours.

The photo Ive chosen to kick this month off with, is Leila doing what she does best.. Being cute, crazy and funny all at once! I captioned this photo on Instagram "Absolutely obsessed! The minute it's off me its on her!!" She truly is obsessed and keeps asking for her own... Um not yet lol

The 'Treasure' paper really suited the theme of the photo quite well. Lots of words and sentiments that  work perfect to describe this moment.

I absolutely LOVE ephemera packs! Such a great mix of cards and shapes that are easily layered up

The pack also includes banners and some acetate pieces

The Finders Keepers card is from the Quest cut apart page, perfect for Titles

Ive added ripped strips of the Dear Lizzy washi tape to a few places around the page, stapled some shapes on and added some older Canary dots. 

All finished off with a few splatters of Gold & Black Heidi Swapp Color shine

Thanks for stopping by, 

Happy Scrapping
