Step by Step with Anne Marie

Good morning a step by step layout from Anne Marie today.

I have a box of odd photos that for one reason or another were printed and then not used. So I collected a random assortment of me and had a bit of fun trying out a painting technique. Always on the lookout for inspiration, would you believe I actually found this design on the wrapper of a sanitary napkin! LOL J Too much information? Hey, when inspiration strikes you don’t ask questions… you just go with it! 

I used a bamboo skewer to roll the paint onto my cardstock and then dipped a plastic ruler in black paint to create the messy stripes. I like the contrast of black against the bright yellow and pink colour palette. I love these pendant circles (there is a similar one in squares too) which is why, once again, we have “retro” circle photos. How long has it been since you cut a photo into a circle? I also added a few glass beads for a bit of added interest and used stickers, a stencil and YCW alphas for the “me me ME” title.

Mixed Media Love

Good Morning today we are sharing a stunning mixed media piece by the very talented Anne Marie.

Although I am mostly a Project Life style scrapbooker these days I do still love getting messy with my creating every so often. I had the pleasure and privilege of attending Louise Nelson’s Perth classes in August. The woman is a veritable font of inspiration and I enjoyed the experience immensely.

It reignited my passion for more daring creative pursuits. I’ll be the first to admit that I may have gotten a little carried away with this one… but I just love the rich, grungy end result. Gesso, crackle medium, ink sprays, glass beads and splatter... everywhere! I’ve always been a bit of a more is more person when it comes to this sort of LO.  More frames, flowers and twine and another old photo of me and my love.

Hello Sunshine

Good morning, Rikki here, a couple Friday's ago  was a busy day here, Sports Carnival and we had a great, intimate meeting with Amy Tangerine (Mandurah Spotlight, there was about 12 people there). After that I felt like I had a mojo boost !!! On Saturday I was very lucky to have a scrap day with my girls, I made a choice not to do design team work.... even though I love it. I decided that it was time to play and have some fun with some challenges.  

I saw this Kraft + challenge come across my Facebook feed a few days before and I had a vision on the Saturday morning about 3 am as you do.... I am sure I am not alone? Whats better than Kraft cardstock? Amy Tangerine Kraft paper of course WITH THE AWESOME NEW BOHO Chippies !!! 

Here was the sketch:

She Follows Her Own Heart

Good Morning Rikki here today. Creativity, my cup is over flowing and I cant say its a bad thing really and its been awhile since this has happened (wish it would happen more often). 

This layout was one I shuffled the papers around for ages then something just clicked then it just flowed......

''She Follows Her Heart''
Websters Nested pp and stickers, doilies,  Your Creative Wings Floral Arrows Crossed

I always do journalling but your not losing your mind in thinking when? I often either do it hidden or I add it in after I have shared it with you all. I know that you all love to read it but I share so much of my kids life online that I do keep this bit  private as I want something special just for them when they look at there albums, its important to write on your pages!!! I cant stress that enough......

How stunning is this piece? A handy idea is to bend the ends of the arrows to make them 3D.

Why dont you go grab this stunning piece? In store now!!!!

Till next time, have a creative day.

Love You

Good Morning, Rikki here, how are you all? 

Half way through the month and its always a mad dash with trying to balance life with blogging and design team commitments... but its always a good thing to get creative right? 

''Love You''

One little tip when painting your chipboard is look at spray painting it.... this chipboard literally took 2 mins to paint, I used a British Paints Gold spray paint got it at Bunnings and I use it all the time!!!! I love using spray paint because of time efficiency, and it also doesnt make the chipboard too wet when you need to pop it out of its negative.
