I saved the solid hearts from a previous cut file and cut some lacy hearts to fit. Dipped all of them into pink, red and black watercolours which gave them a lighter pink, dark pink and gray look to them.  Inspired by Scrapycat Josefine lacy hearts.

Dug into a pack of Heidi Swapp journal ephemera to get this one done.

Back in the day of Gymnastics.

gotta love this

Pulled out the white embossing powder and the heat gun for this one. Stash bust with the Melissa Francis frame and buttons. The glossy red hearts are from a kids necklace in the party section at Kmart.

young and brave

I watched Vicki Boutin demo a bubble background and my light bulb flashed brightly. I just knew THE photo I had printed to go with it. I used acrylic paints in a cup with a bit of water and dish detergent and used a straw to blow in the well mixed liquid to create the bubbles. The paper was dabbed on the bubbles and let dry. There's 3 shades of blue and a white bubble layer as the top layer. So much fun. Highly recommend wearing an apron and cover your surrounding areas.

summer days

Sometimes the most unlikely things are the perfect embellishment. The rainbow is a luggage tag from Kmart, the sun is an iron on from Spotlight. Job done.

tennis anyone?

Monochromatic for Cocoa Vanilla Studio International Scrapbooking Day Celebrations 2020

The title technique was totally inspired by Petals Daye and created for the Cocoa Vanilla Studio International Scrapbook Day Celebrations 2020 Monochromatic challenge.

Created for the mono challenge at Cocoa Vanilla Studio International Scrapbook Day Celebrations 2020 over the weekend. Design inspired by Kelly Daye layout on the Paige Evans - Happy Scrappy Place group for their ISD celebrations.

Can't go past the class of white on white.

the story

It was International Scrapbook Day over the weekend, and a few of my favorite places for inspo had 3 days of challenges and fun.  While I didn't actually participate at the time I have lots of catching up to get through so I won't be short of an idea or two for a while.

This one was inspired by the uber talented Tarrah McLean on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio International Scrapbook Day Celebration 2020 group on FB.

so epic

I stepped away from the white cardstock as a base for the background and let rip with offcuts to create the layout.
