Here Comes Trouble - with Paper House Productions!

Today I'd like to share with you a scrapbook page I made using lots of goodies from the Paper House Productions ColorWays Gatsby collection. I love the glitz and sparkle from this collection. I was initially going to use it for some Christmas projects but it coordinated perfectly with these photos - so this was my first project!

The photostrip was from a photobooth at our local movie cinema - my girls are always happy to having their photos taken!!

I've mainly used the Gatsby paper pack and the Gatsby accent pack as well as rub-ons and puffy stickers. I cut out a number of triangles of varying sizes and placed them on my page (some are raised with dimensionals for a 3D effect). I also splattered some gold and black paint acros my page.  

I've added an Awesome and Be Silly rub-on and some puffy stickers.

I layered a gold doilie, tag and paperclip from my stash as well as elements from the Gatsby accent pack. "Dream" is from the believe puffy sticker pack. 

I love the different patterns in the papers in the Gatsby paper pack. This paper suits the triangles which are quite on trend at the moment.

I've loved using these new ColorWays Gatsby products, such a versatile color! 
All photos have been printed on an Epson XP-600.

Hello Fabulous!

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page I've done for the D-Lish Scraps monthly challenge.

Here is the mood-board and it is black and white - one of my favourites! 

I love all the different black and white patterned papers available at the moment - and they go perfectly with this photo of Rachael (wearing a black and white top!)

I've used some of the fabulous labels and flowers from D-Lish Scraps :) 

A doilie helps to separate the busy patterns - and looks so pretty! 

More journal tabs and flowers from  D-Lish scraps!

Project Life Week 40 part 2 - With Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you Week 40 part 2 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album. It was a school holiday week this week and I took lots of photos so I decided to do 4 pages for the week instead of the usual 2.

This week I've continued to use the October pocket life kit Santa Monica from Scrappy Canary ! This kit is awesome, I just love the colours and all the elements in it.

Here is a close up of the LHS. I've used a combination of die cut cards, acetate cards and patterned papers. 

I cut the "so pretty" die cut card in half so it would fit across two 3"x4" pockets. Then I added some patterned paper behind the die cut, some washi, a fussy cut camera and enamel dots. 

I've used more patterned papers here - I always look through the papers to find elements that can be fussy cut, and I always find a use for the little strips at the top!

Here is a close up of the RHS.  As well as using the patterned paper to make cards I cut up a sheet of the paper (full of 3x3 cards) from the Venice Beach scrapbook kit (also in the paper add on kit).

The papers are perfect for my photos - can you believe Jessica in this one :)

Washi and puffy stickers are always a hit with me. I've added them to a project life grid card to 3"x3" size here.

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

Project Life Week 38!

Today I'm showing you Week 38 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album.

This week I've used goodies from the April Messy Box from A Beautiful Mess, as well as other bits and pieces from my stash.

Here is a close up of the LHS. This week saw Rachael doing her 5th grade Piano exam at the Conservatorium - She did so well and we are very proud of her! I also entered 6 scrapbook pages in the Royal Adelaide Show and won 5 ribbons and some fabulous prizes - woohoo!!

I love the floral print in this kit, and arent these hearts adorable! 

Rachael spends hours here each week practicing :)  

Here is a close up of the RHS. 

While walking through the University I had to take a selfie to remember days gone past! 

There are never too many photos to be taken when you have 3 females in the house!

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

Project Life Week 40 - With Scrappy Canary!

Today I'm showing you Week 40 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album.

This week I was so excited to be able to use the October pocket life kit Santa Monica from Scrappy Canary ! I'm so glad these kits are back. I really found it hard to keep up with my PL without them. Yes, I do have lots (and lots) of craft supplies, but I love that with a kit you have a coordinated and constrained set of products to work with - makes the creative process much quicker!!

Here is a close up of the LHS. How cool are the products and colours in this kit! I cut up some of the patterned paper from the kit to fit as cards and I also cut up a sheet of the paper (full of 3x3 cards) from the Venice Beach scrapbook kit. When I have lots of photos I like to work with these 3x3 square pockets. I used my Fuse to convert 6x6 pockets. 

I love the washi pages in the kit and the puffy stickers are divine! I could use a whole packet on one page - I have to try and pace myself so they last 2-3 weeks. 

One of the pages of patterned paper had these cameras - so I fussy cut some out to include on this card. 

Here is a close up of the RHS. On this page I used some of the die cut cards in the kit so COOL! 

I backed this die cut card with some silver glitter paper - perfect!! 

More puffy stickers and enamel dots here! 

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

Sister Love - With Paper House Productions and PageMaps!

This month Paper House Productions is teaming with PageMaps to provide inspiration for their awesome monthly sketches. 

Each month PageMaps have 10 different sketches including two 8.5"x11", a 12"x12" double page layout and seven 12"x12" layouts. Sketches are perfect for providing inspiration and direction for your projects. 

I was lucky enough to be working on this 8.5"x11" sketch.

I loved the idea of using strips of papers on this page and I've used a new paper pad called "Handmade" - one of my favourite new products. I added it to a watercoloured background using yellow, orange and red colours.

I've added some Summer Fun Snapshot stickers in place of the 2 small photos in the sketch. I've used some alphas from the New York city paper crafting kit and a "love" puffy sticker from the Believe puffy stickers pack.

I always like to include some handwritten journalling if possible.

I've added some cork accents from the owls corkd sticker pack - these owls are so cute!

I usually only scrap 12x12 pages, so I've mounted this page on another 12"x12" page to include in my album.

I've loved working with this PageMaps sketch - why dont you give one a go!
All my photos are printed on an Epson XP-600.

Project Life Week 37!

Today I'm showing you Week 37 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album.

This week I've used more goodies from my March Messy Box from A Beautiful Mess, as well as other bits and pieces from my stash.  

Here is a close up of the LHS. This was a very quiet week for us, Jessica and John both had Influenza B for the whole week - actually Jessica was away from school for 10 days! The first 2 photos of Jessica and John enjoying a chocolate fondue were actually from Week 36 - but I didnt have enough room for them there :)

Rachael and I have started walking, 3 to 4 km on weekends and I walk 3 km most weekday mornings - go us!! 

I love these velum hearts in the Messy Box - they are best attached using a brad (I have heaps of these that I never use!!) or a staple. 

Here is a close up of the RHS. 

A rainy day in between sunny days!

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

Project Life Week 36!

Today I'm showing you Week 36 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album.

This week I've used goodies from the March (I think) Messy Box from A Beautiful Mess, as well as other bits and pieces from my stash. 

Here is a close up of the LHS. I've kept my page relatively simple and added lots of fun Evalicious wood veneer.

I managed to capture this beautiful sunrise. Usually we are too busy getting ready in the morning and dont notice what is happening outside! In the other photo Rachael is going through her Marvelous Creations showbag - YUMM!

Jessica loves having picnics inside (and outside) with her toys!!

Here is a close up of the RHS. This week was busy, we had an exhibition at Rachael's school, Jessica's school concert, the Adelaide show, Jessica's gymnastics comps and fathers day!!!

Jessica and her team won lots of ribbons at the gymnastics comps!!

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

Project Life Week 35!

Today I'm showing you Week 35 for my "Schultz Family 2015" Project Life Album.

This week I've used goodies from my September Messy Box from A Beautiful Mess, as well as other bits and pieces from my stash.  

Here is a close up of the LHS. John was away for the week in Singapore so it was just me and the girls - and it was busy!! Being so busy made me very tired - so my bed was my haven in the evening :)

This card from the September ABM Messy box was perfect for this page.

We love Vegemite on toast for breakfast - It's the Aussie way!!

Rachael loves watches at the moment - so John bought her back one for every day of the week :)

Here is a close up of the RHS. I've used my Fuse to customise the pockets on this page. I had some Becky Higgins Design E (6"x6") pockets that I made into a variety of 3"x3" and 3"x4" - I did this to use up the 3"x3" cards in the ABM kits. This works well when you have lots of photos to display.

I kept the embellishment simple and included photos of my everyday!!

I love wood veneer and this cup one from Evalicious is adorable!

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