Scrappy Camp Projects.... (long!)

I've been away this past weekend (long weekend here) for a 3night Scrap Retreat and it was a wonderful opportunity to get  heaps of fun things done.  Leading up to the retreat, getting page kits ready to take away took over any spare time I had! And since returning, my family have needed my undivided attention too....so I feel like I've been away from the computer for ages!

I hope to catch up reading and catching the goss soon!

Here's my spot at the retreat (I've been going here since 2006 twice a year!)

Yep, I work in a mess!  Its the only way I know how and to keep track of my 'stuff'!

Now to the projects ....

Colour Me Happy

I just stumbled across this challenge blog... and it looked like fun!

The criteria was to use masking...I used masking in the lower right hand corner.

The lace doily in the top left corner was my mask.

Our Cupid in the garden

Child's Play Challenge

Found this fun challenge blog too... the criteria was to use 'domino's' in some way.

Used a little ticket stamp that was repeated and then painted white. 

I'm really happy with the effect. 

Get Creative Card Challenge

It's a colour challenge

I've stamped my image, glued in a few hearts, splattered ink and layered a sheet of vintage vellum which is textured over the top.

Get Creative LO Challenge

Also a colour challenge

Ticked the criteria: Palm trees or leaves, beach photo, 2-3 beach embellies   Its certainly much brighter than I'd usually do - its great to have a change

Found this 'almost' heart shape and with a bit of soft plying and a bit of string, it formed the shape perfectly - hmmmn .... or should I say 'imperfectly' (grin)

Just got to keep moving so a short post tonight.... got a 3 day scrappy camp this coming weekend and need to pack page kits! 

(very big smile)!

Working with 'My Mind's Eye' at Scrap Therapy

 Just trying to keep uptodate... I've had a shocking bout of flu, and am now on the road to recovery...

So will be blog hopping again soon! I've missed it!

 

 

For the month of March, I'm working with the delightful new releases of My Mind's Eye CHA Winter 2012 for SCRAP THERAPY 

For this little tag I've worked with 'Miss Caroline'. I love the weathered board look in this range. It reminds me of old jettys, old fences and old wooden swings hanging from trees...


So being inspired by memories of the old wooden swing... I've used Fiddlesticks 'Story' Farmhouse Paper and 'boxed' a tiny length of it to make the seat and stuck it to Dolled Up 'Cute' Garden Paper(reverse side) as the tag part. A little twig from the garden became the branch and some black fibre threaded through the little box seat with large knots underneath tied the swing together...


Added to decorate is Dilly Dally 'Hello' Rubons for the flowers, 'So happy to have you here' label and Dilly Dally button

Scrap Therapy Room Challenge

This month's inspiration is decor in the HALLWAY!!

Room 1



Here a new background was created for the photo by cutting out the figure



By painting matching colours, it can tone down a busy paper, and by using shading, it can create depth so here I've moved from an orange through to white.



Placing spots under the 'swing' like My Mind's Eye: Miss Caroline:
yelllow doily, flower, Blue 'Happy' Doily, Ribbon Date Sticker gives it depth too and brings focus to the photo.

MME Miss Caroline
Howdy Doody 'Baby' Lacey Paper (orange reverse side)
Howdy Doody 'Beautiful' Whitewash Paper(blue reverse side)
Howdy Doody 'Beautiful' Roses Paper (floral)
Lost and Found Christmas Trim


Room 2


I just love hexagons! (made a cardboard stencil from a maths site online) I've picked up the shape and some of the colour here 



And I've used three stickers layered over each other to make the sign
Miss Caroline: bottom yellow label, squarish label, 'such a happy day' label


MME
Miss Caroline:
Dolled Up 'Favorite' Decorate Paper (weathered board flower paper)
Dolled Up 'Favorite' Madras Paper (Blue reverse side)
Stella and Rose:
Decorative Brads 

Mabel 'Love' Trinkets (butterfly)
Gertie 'Delightful' Trim


Room 3


Used the design of the vertical shape here, so the fabulous MME Miss Caroline's Fiddlesticks 'Story' Farmhouse Paper was great! I've picked up some colour with the photo and embellies



Each panel is cut out.



And strung like a fence going under and over with the string



Using Miss Caroline's Dolled Up Day Butterfly Paper cut out some of the little butterflies (this is an inexpensive way to always have butterflies for you scrapping if you dont mind cutting out!)
Wrapping some black fibre (or the like) around the butterfly can give definition and some little antenae 



Adding buttons creates some colour too Miss Caroline Dilly Dally and Lost&Found Rose Love Buttons

Miss Caroline:
Dilly Dally 'Best' Checkered PaperBackground Paper (reverse side)
Dolled Up 'Princess' Lace Paper Pink mount for the photos (reverse side)
Fiddlestickes 'Love' Journal Paper (Noteworthy journal block)
