Around Here!

Today I have  2 more pages from October in my "SMASH*ing 2014" Journal (using the Tasty SMASH* folio). The photos were taken at a special birthday lunch for John - I'd organised to have some lobster as he is always talking about it - Jessica and John loved it, Rachael and I prefer chocolate!!

On these pages I've mainly used the Freckled Fawn August OHDEERME kit.

I was running out of letters in the alpha set so I chose a number of short words to suit - a great way to use up all those extra alphas in your stash!

The Rolling Stones!

Today I have  2 more pages are from October in my "SMASH*ing 2014" Journal (using the Tasty SMASH* folio). I seem to be keeping up with this Journal at the moment - It really makes it easy when you stick to using 1 kit at a time - eliminates too much choice!!

On these pages I've used the Freckled Fawn August and September OHDEERME kits - I just loved using the large Alphas and the wooden frames!

We had so much fun at the Rolling Stones concert - havent had a date night in about 7 years!! Granny came to babysit so we treated her to breakfast at the local Cherry Shed Cafe!

The Hunger Games!

Today's scrapbook share is a page I made using mainly the September OHDEERME kit from Freckled Fawn as well as lots of other FF yummies! I've used lots of wood veneer on this page as well as a gorgeous gold doilie and more of the cute little flair.

The photo's used here are of Rachael reading - a bit of a rare moment. We have this amazing hanging chair outside that is so comfy to sit in and gently swing. It was actually one I had as a child and asked mum if I could have it.

I  started by using a paintbrush to watercolour orange and yellow Dylusions inks on white cardstock (that had been primed with clear gesso). 

Once the page was thoroughly dry I layered paper (from the Studio Calico Printshop collection) and a gold paper doilie under my photos. All the stamps and embellishments are from various OHDEERME kits - they are so easy to mix and match! 

I've always loved using doilies on my projects - I'm particularly loving gold and silver ones at the moment! 

The cork accents work perfectly on this page.

Holiday Fun!

On these pages I've used the Freckled Fawn August and September OHDEERME kits - the journalling stamp is a great way to frame any journalling on your pages.

I made the calendar using MS Word - A great way to record our daily activities.

Sydney!

Today I have  2 more pages from September in my "SMASH*ing 2014" Journal (using the Tasty SMASH* folio). 

In September John had his 50th birthday and we celebrated by spending a family weekend in Sydney. It was awesome! Even just the fun of going on an aeroplane and train and staying in a motel. We enjoyed eating out and seeing all the famous Sydney sights. Rachael loved the wax museum and Jessica loved the Aquarium.

On these pages I've used the Freckled Fawn August and September OHDEERME kits - the stickers and stamps are some of my favourites.

I love not having to use any patterned paper in my SMASH* books. The fun and quirky background pages are perfect on their own!

Hold My Hand!

Today's scrapbook share is a page I made using mainly the September OHDEERME kit from Freckled Fawn. I've been subscribing to these kits for a few months now and I love them. Some of my favourite goodies from this kit are the stamps and the cute little flair.

The photo's used here were taken on Father's Day then we took a picnic lunch to the River Murray.

I  started by using a paintbrush to watercolour green and blue Dylusions inks on white cardstock (that had been primed with clear gesso).

Once the page was thoroughly dry I layered paper (from the Studio Calico Printshop collection) and a silver paper doilie under my photo. All the stamps and embellishments are from various OHDEERME kits - they are so easy to mix and match!

The paperclips are also other favourites of mine.

The Adelaide Show!

We love going to Shows/Fairs and this year the Royal Adelaide Show was no exception. I love to enter some scrapbooking pages, we love to look at the animals, a few showbags must be purchased and the carnival rides are a hit with the girls.

Today I have  2 pages from September in my "SMASH*ing 2014" Journal (using the Tasty SMASH* folio). With photos from the Show of course! We milked a cow, held a baby piglet, and checked out all the awesome scrapbooking entries!!

On these pages I've mainly used the Freckled Fawn August OHDEERME kit - I love the wood veneer frames and the glitter chevron enamels.

Fathers Day!

Today I have  2 pages are from September in my "SMASH*ing 2014" Journal (using the Tasty SMASH* folio). Once again I made the calendar using MS Word - A great way to record our daily activities.There are photos from Fathers Day - dont you just love the "Keep Calm and Agree with Dad" t-shirt!

On these pages I've mainly used the  Freckled Fawn August OHDEERME kit - I just love the clear word stickers, they are perfect for adding to photos, and the small flair are adorable. Just a few embellishments and the patterned pages that are already in the SMASH* book mean that you can quickly put together your pages - this is what I love about SMASH*ing!

All By Myself!

Todays share is another page I had published in the Scrapbooking Memories magazine!!! It was in Vol 17 No 3 (their facebook page is here) in the "Things they say" gallery. 

The photo was taken when my youngest daughter Jessica was learning to roller skate. Although she fell over many times she would get straight back up "all by myself" lol!!

I've created this background by first covering a white cardstock sheet with white gesso. Then I painted on some bright pink Dylusions ink. After deciding on the photo placement I painted my title using a small paintbrush and some black gouache paint. Although I'm not particularly fond of my handwriting I still like to highlight it on my page - it all adds to the character :)

I've added some handwritten journalling with a black SMASH* pen then underlined it.

I've added lots of amazing and fun embellishments from D-lish Scraps - paper flowers, crochet flower, journal spot, paper tags, resin flowers, pvc doilie; as well as Pinkfresh Studio wood veneers; Freckled Fawn wood veneers; Amy Tangerine flair; Jillibean Soup alpha stickers; and a Pebbles roller date stamp.

Go Kart Party!

Today I have  2 more pages from August in my "SMASH*ing 2014" Journal (using the Tasty SMASH* folio). There are photos from Rachael's 13th birthday party - she went go-karting with a group of friends!

On these pages I've used the Freckled Fawn August OHDEERME kit and some alphas from the July Kit. I love all the stamps in the kit - so versatile and perfect for SMASH*ing!

I've also used some October Afternoon roller stamps to add quotes under the photos.
