You make me happy - p.2

Hello again!
Just wanted to share a few more details about my page for our SATW moodboard challenge.
My layout features the products from 13arts, which is one of our main sponsors.

I've used papers as the background and mists to add colour and create matting under the photo. It's just a piece of white watercolour paper which I embossed with embossing folder, misted with different colours of mists and cut in stripes. I have arranged the stripes under the photo, to make an irregular, multilayered frame.

Supplies:

All is Love - papers, Mist chalk blue light, Mist chalk yellow amber, 

Mist chalk turquoise, Mist chalk lilac, Mist pearl olive green

Thanks for looking! Come play with us at SATW :)

Random Prize - This amazing Prize Pack from Bo Bunny!!!

The story of BoBunny Press began with a young girl named Jan Lanoy. 

She was raised in the Ozark area of Arkansas, then headed west to study art in college. 

In 1974, she married Don & packed away her paint box while she raised three sons.

As the family moved from Arkansas to Texas to Taiwan & then to Utah, 

Jan satisfied her creative side by restoring houses. 

Her children claim she can do anything with a drill & hammer!

That old paint box wasn't reopened until 1996 when, at the urging of her sister, 
Jan started designing scrapbook papers. She still vividly remember standing
 outside a local craft store in Layton, Utah, terrified to show off her first 2 designs.

Now, 16 years later, BoBunny Press is an industry leader with its innovative paper
 & embellishment lines. Starting with 2 designs in a single store, BoBunny products 
can now be found in over 39 countries around the world.

Long a favorite of card makers and scrapbookers, BoBunny papers, stickers, 
albums, brads, buttons, trinkets, jewels, ribbons, stamps & kits are always
 hot topics on consumer message boards. 

Each item still carries Jan's personal attention to detail and colour, but she's no 
longer doing it all on her own. Her team of graphic designers, each with different styles
 & expertise, help to create the variety of product lines that BoBunny is known for. 
Whether your taste is whimsical, elegant, classic or playful, there's something
 for everyone with BoBunny.

The deadline for this challenge is Saturday 30th November 2013.

Please take a moment to leave us some FEEDBACK on our REVEAL & some love for our designers, 
who contribute their time & expertise free of charge to provide this varied inspiration to you.

Share your valuable thoughts with us!!

Trick or treat - Halloween with neon at Allt om Scrap

Hello!
At Allt om Scrap we are sharing today a load of Halloween inspiration with a twist - which is neon!
Halloween is not a big tradition in this part of the world, but last year we were visiting our family in US during this season, so we got the full show:) and I had a bunch of photos to scrap.

Here 's my daughter as a little pirate - a bit curious and even scared of the costumes of some other kids from the neighborhood  :)

Supplies - UHK Gallery Dear Watson.

Julia & Isaak - scraplift

Tegoroczna jesien wiaze sie dla mnie z ogromem obowiazkow-glownie zwiazanych z praca niestety :/ ciesze sie niezmiernie, kiedy uda mi sie wykroic troche wolnego czasu na jakies wyzwanie. Takie jak np wdzieczny scraplift na blogu scrapki.pl :)
Ponizszy scrap powstal na specjalne zamowienie mojej corki i upamietnia jej pierwsza przejazdzke na kucyku o imieniu Isaak :) Byla taka radosna i dumna!
Warstwy i niedbale chlapniecia oryginalu pasowaly mi idealnie do tej radosnej chwili.

This fall is extemely busy for me at work so I'm even more glad to have a chance (and time) to play in a challenge. Like this one, an inspiring scraplift at scrapki.pl
This layout is a special order of my DD, capturing her first ponny ride-ponny's name is Isaak:) You should have seen how glad and proud she was :)
The layers and careless splashes were exactly  the expression I needed here.

Supplies: Papers - 7 Dots Studio, various collections
Brads - Prima
Chipboard - Imaginarium Designs

CSI case # 93 - with Inkido

 

Hello!
With a short delay, I'm popping in with the layout which I shared yesterday on Inkido blog.
This month Inkido is sponsoring a fantastic challenge blog Color Stories Inspiration CSI and our DT is appearing there as guest designers.
CSI is very close to my heart, as I'm a retired CSI detective, so I've put aside my golf bag and the gardening (or whatever it is the retired detectives do :)
I rolled up my sleeves and came back to investigate a tough case filed as # 93.
Eventually I came up with a funky, joyful story about my daughter struggling to learn inlines skating :)

 

 

Here's the CSI file

My evidence:

pinwheel
checked pattern
mixed media background
text pattern
string
My testimony:
I documented daring -  learning to skate


Don't forget about our current challenge running at Inkido, a scraplift!

Ciao!
