Savor - With Paper House Productions!

This week is Theme week over at Paper House Productions. There are so many products available for different themes, be it birthdays, Christmas, Haloween, boys, girls, sports and many more! 

I've chosen a "food" theme for this scrapbook page! I've used lots of new products from the Delish Paper-crafting kit which includes papers, cardstock stickers (including alphas) and the Savor ColorWays puffy stickers. I've also included a sticker from the wine snapshot sticker pack.
This photo I've used is of one of my favourite breakfasts - bacon and eggs! I've accented it with Savor ColorWays puffy stickers, and a cardstock sticker from the Delish pack.
The papers in this kit are amazing, the colours are so rich. I've used some of the PL type cards that can be cut from the paper. This one with lots of seeds and spices suited my page perfectly. I've also added a Savor ColorWays puffy sticker for my title, some stickers layered under the papers and a wine snapshot sticker.
I love the new range of alphas available as part of the kits and single sheets of cardstock stickers. Actually I'm a big fan of kits, and these are so fun!
This card was cut from one of the sheets of paper in the Delish scrapbooking kit. Perfect for a scrapbook page or Pocket page scrapbooking!
I've loved using these new products - the papers are perfect for scrapbooking and the alphas and new puffy stickers are awesome! All photos have been printed on my Epson XP-600

Scrapbook Challenges - With Scrapping Clearly!

I haven't had time for scrapping for ages - especially scrapping for fun!! So I had some spare time this last week (before school holidays started, which they have now) and decided to play along with a few challenges. This month Scrapping Clearly has 2 great challenges and I had time to create a project for each :)

The first is an inspiration challenge
I just loved this quote so I decided to make it a feature on my page. This photo is from our summer holiday at the beach - and the challenge colours are perfect.
I had some light brown muslin in my stash so I sprayed it a darker brown to suit the challenge colours!
The other challenge for September at Scrapping Clearly is a sketch challenge.
Initially I was a bit overwhelmed with all the photos in this challenge but I found a sequence that worked and added some additional "photo look" embellishments.
I cant till next summer to spend time at the beach again!!
I've had so much fun joining in with this challenge and scrapping for fun! 
All photos have been printed on my Epson XP-600

Project Life Week 31!

Today I'm showing you Week 31 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. 

The highlight for this week was visiting the Japanese Himenji garden in Adelaide. Rachael was doing a school project on Zen gardens. We all thoroughly enjoyed it and now have a new appreciation of this kind of garden! 

This week I've used more goodies from my June Messy Box from A Beautiful Mess, as well as other bits and pieces from my stash and 2 more cards made by the talented Natalie Elphinstone aka one scrappy doctor.
Here is a close up of the LHS.
The "She" card was made by Natalie and I won it in an instagram giveaway.
Here is a close up of the RHS.
This card was made using lots of items from my Messy Box. The photo is of my new Windsor & Newton water colours.
I  made a sequin shaker pocket using my Fuse. I've used the Fuse tool a lot to alter my pocket pages - I never have enough of the right variety. 
These "Messy Box" cork embellishments are so cool!
All of my photos have been printed on my Epson XP-600

Project Life Week 32 - With Paper House Productions!

Today I'm showing you Week 32 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. 

This week I've used I've used lots of new products from Paper House Productions.
The new paper pad called "Handmade" is one of my favourite new products - aren't these colours and designs amazing!  I've also used some new alphas (yes ALPHAS!!) from the New York City Paper-crafting kit (new too!) and puffy stickers from the new Adore ColorWays pack.
Here is a close up of the LHS. I have 3 cameras that I use on a regular basis, my mobile phone, a sony for my handbag and a Nikon DSLR. I could hardly believe it when I found that for this week I had NO photos, at all, on any of these cameras!! Fortunately I had a selection of "generic" photos that haven't made it into other weeks, and it let me show off more of the fun new PHP papers :) 
On this card I've added some Summer Fun Snapshot stickers, some alphas from the New York City Paper-crafting kit and a puffy sticker from the new Adore ColorWays pack.
In the Handmade paper pad there are some 12x12 pages filled with cards suitable for PL. I've cut out the "Cool" tab from one and cut another sheet to size for the 6x4 card. I've also added a puffy sticker and some cork stickers from the owls corkd sticker pack 
This "beauty" word puffy sticker from the new Adore ColorWays pack was a perfect addition to this card.
Here is a close up of the RHS. On this page I've also used puffy stickers from the believe Colorways pack. 
On this card I've added another Summer Fun Snapshot sticker and some Colorways puffy stickers. It is always useful to have some photos of the everyday - like these shopping trolleys!
Here I've added a happy moment rubon transfer and an owl cork sticker from the owls corkd sticker pack - the colours go perfectly with my Yoga class photo!!
My guilty pleasure is watching "The Young and the Restless". On this card I've added more puffy stickers, Alphas and a floral snapshot sticker
I've loved using these new products - the papers are perfect for PL and the alphas are awesome! I print all my photos on my Epson XP-600

Project Life Week 30!

Today I'm showing you Week 30 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. The highlight for this week was a weekend away with my family for my fathers 70th birthday! 

This week I've used a heap of random cards and embellishments from my stash, including 2 cards made by the talented Natalie Elphinstone aka one scrappy doctor .
Here is a close up of the LHS. The fox card was made by Natalie and I won it in an instagram giveaway.
It was back to school after the winter holidays. Rachael started on the Monday so Jessica and I went looking for nature treasure then made a collage. It was the coldest winter morning here -4degC in the morning. The horse trough froze over - the ice was at least 5mm thick and still hadn't melted by the afternoon. 
Back to school meant some "me time" which included having my hair cut and coloured :) 
Here is a close up of the RHS. What an amazing weekend away we had - time with my special family and fabulous scenery. The weather looks lovely in these photos but let me tell you it rained and poured much of the time! 
A few layers and extra embellishments are always welcome additions to PL cards! 
 All of my photos have been printed on my Epson XP-600

Project Life Week 29!

Today I'm showing you Week 29 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. This was the final week of our mid year school holidays and I had lots of photos! 

This week I've used more goodies from my June Messy Box from A Beautiful Mess, as well as other bits and pieces from my craft desk.
Here is a close up of the LHS. I dont use many 3'x3" cards on my pages so I stuck 2 together with a strip of washi to make a 3"x4" card - a great way to use up what you have! My girls loved their trip to "Bounce". It is a great place to use up school holiday energy during the winter. Only downside is that you have to book and pay at least 2 weeks ahead and it is a 75 min drive away.
Here is a close up of the RHS. Ice skating was another fun holiday activity. I even had a go :)
Dont you hate it when you run out of particular letter alphas! I always seem to use "S" first. But there is nothing wring with mixing and matching !! 
I tried this for the first time - splitting a 6x4 card across 2 pockets. It worked out better than I thought :)
I've loved using this Messy Box for my Project Life and have more to show you soon! I print all my photos on my Epson XP-600
