Cover Girl - with Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share - made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

I've used a photo of Jessica holding the Scrapbooking Memories magazine with a cover designed my me - and she was the cover girl!!

For this project I've used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Hello Lovely" collection - papers, ephemera, enamel dots, wood veneer and flair. I love all of the collections from Cocoa Vanilla Studio - and I love that it is an Australian business!

As well as all of the gorgeous chipboard embellishments I've used a Cocoa Vanilla Studio cut file (from the "Colour me happy" collection) this is the negative of the cut out I used on a previous project!

I've used lots of raw chipboard on this project - I think it has a very modern look in this form. In one corner of my page I showcased lots of diecut arrows mixed with chipboard arrows of different sizes.

Around the photo I included a number of "#" chipboard words and a cute birdcage (I love these birdcages!!)

Clusters of diecuts and sparkly alphas are perfect embellishents.

Project Life Week 7 - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I'm showing you Week 7 for my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album. Made using the new Pink Paislee "C'est la vie" collection available at Scrapping Clearly.

I love the pink and black colours of this collection - very pretty and girly.

Here is a close up of the LHS. The "Hello" card is an acetate card cut from the sheet backed with a white card. I've also made my own filler cards using white cards and strips/triangles of patterned paper from the collection.

These shaped paperclips are my favourite - the whole packet has been used up already!

One of the sheets of paper had lots of squares/rectangles of different sizes, patterns and words. I cut it completely up and added the words to my filler cards. The puffy stickers and some enamel dots were perfect embellishments.

Here is a close up of the RHS.

The "Boss babe" and "Breath of fresh air" cards are acetate backed with white card. I then made my own filler cards with the paper, puffy stickers and another paperclip.

The "Week seven" card was a digi printed onto a white project life card then I added a strip of washi, a date stamp and some enamel dots.

What do you think of Rachael's box opening technique?? You should see how she opens CD/DVD cases!!!!!

Scrapping Clearly products I've used include

Pink Paislee "C'est la vie" collection (papers, acetate, washi sheets, puffy stickers, paper clips)
Becky Higgins - white project life cards
Becky Higgins - grid project life cards
Date stamp (similar to this)

All of my photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Project Life Week 6 - With Imaginarium Designs!

I am way behind with my Project life for 2016, but I am determined to catch up. Today I'm showing you Week 6 for my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album. Highlights for this week were school swimming for Jessica and Valentines day.

I've used lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard on these pages, all painted with Dylusions paints - I love the bright and vibrant colours of these paints!

Here is a close up of the LHS. Lots of summery pool photos, some "waiting for the bus" photos and "Valentines day roses" photos!

I love these chipboard words and insta frame - I painted each one a different colour so it would stand out yet be coordinated with the patterned papers I've used. The papers are all from the Pebbles "Spring fling" collection - I love all the kraft colour in this collection :)

The "bird in heart" chipboard coordinated perfectly with the valentines theme and this teal paint is my favourite!

Here is a close up of the RHS.

The Imaginarium Designs chipboard titles are always a showpiece on any page. I love the font combinations and there is such an amazing range of perfect titles to use! The 6x4card is cut from a sheet of 12x12 cardstock - I prefer this to buying prepared cards. I also often add strips of patterned paper to the top of a white card to give it some flair! It's all about using what you already have!

Going out to tea is always a great excuse to dress up and take some family photos - isn't she gorgeous!!

On this day Jessica prepared morning tea for us. It was a "horse" theme with carrot sticks, bread horseshoes, and tea served in cups and saucers (fancy china of course lol). How precious!!
