Scrap that song

This is my D.T. layout for January on Scrap that song.I've used a range of papers by My Minds eye called "Quite Contrary" plus flowers from Scrap'n'bits and the rose from Lincraft. The chipboard is Collections elements which I've inked using my old friend, Mr Pinecone!I loved this range of papers and ephemera to match.

Get picky with shoes

I made this layout using a strip of photos of my daughter's favourite shoes.They are black suede with diamentes on them.I used Scrapmatts chipboard shoes plus "Red hot sparkles" by papermania.These were glued over the red paint.Always think red/white and navy makes a good colour combo.

Show us your stuff (2)

The second challenge for Show us your stuff was blue and white with a touch of red.These 4 photos of famous pubs in Edinburgh fitted the criteria nicely.I've used a floral paper plus white mat.The lettering is Ruby Rocket. I've added just a thin strip of red ribbon plus 2 triangular buttons and a journalling block from Martha Stewart.

White with one

My entry for white with one this month features the Christmas papers range from Kaisercraft called December 25th and Be Merry.I misted lightly down the sides with English Ivy.I cut scalloped edge using a row from Glee then added a mat featuring Joy and Chirpy.The yellow flower row plus heralding angels are stickers.I finished it off with a journalling tag from December 25th. Beth is one of the entertainment ladies at our local nursing home. She is heaps of fun providing laughs for the residents.

Show us your stuff...first sketch.

During our trip around Tasmania a few years ago we visited Hobart town at Richmond. It has miniature buildings.On this layout I've used Papers by Mustard moon,Hot off the Press and Karen Foster as well as lettering called Lullaby from American crafts.The embroidered badges are from Kaisercraft's Dear Santa collection and even though this layout isn't cHristmas,the green and tan match.I finished with 3 salmon pink buttons which match both background papers.Hope you like it!

Carol Singing at Kraft it up

I started by using Candy Apple red mist over a Scrapmatts tree 3 times on the left hand side.To these I added green rhinestones.I then matted my photo using 2 different papers plus sheet music.I've added a strip of holly plus scrapmatts holly chipboard on the corners and the original misted tree to the right hand corner.

Venice Peachy at A2Z scraplets

I used A2z scraplets star banner .First I painted it with peach paint,then I ran it through "Swiss Dots" on the cuttlebug.Then I wiped it over with black paint,immediately removing most of it. This left a 2-toned effect.It became the strip across the middle of this layout.I chose 3 photos of Venice,2 of which feature the peach coloured buildings seen so commonly there.I matted using spotted papers that co-ordinated.Later afdding 2 strips of edging and flowers plus Francheville "Passionate" brads.
