Here's the first layout I made: 

The page is about the few days we spent in Antwerp, Belgium last October. 

A few close-ups: 

I used the moustache sticker on my page because my dd is wearing a t-shirt with a moustache (it's hidden behind her scarf).

Love You - Flower Stencils Amanda Robinson Studio

New in Amanda Robinson Studio's shop this week are these awesome Flower Stencils which can be paired with vinyl or acetate to make your own stencils or just as easily used as die cuts on your pages and projects!

Here's what I did, I used the negative flower stencil as a frame for my photo while tucking the larger positive stencil between a few of the patterned paper mats.

 I used the September 2013 Jenni Bowlin papercrafting kit for this page. Love the colors of this kit! When fastening my cuts to my page I love to use a stapler like the tiny attacher from Tim Holtz:

The washi tape and dotted button are from the Purple Pumpkin store.

And this is the cutting file I used:

Available in Amanda Robinson Studio's store for only $ 1.50.

Valentina used the flower cutting file as a stencil to mist on her cards. Visit Amanda Robinson Studio's blog to check it out!

I heart Brussels - Jenni Bowlin

I almost forgot to share this last layout made for the Jenni Bowlin online crop. This layout I created for Leah's challenge "make the main shape featured on your layout a circle". So here's what I made, a layout using the JBS papercrafting kit from July 2013:

The photos were taken while we were in Brussels for a couple of days last February. Our very first vacation with just 4 of us, as Manon was skying in Austria with school. 

To accentuate the circles I embroidered and journaled around them and placed some flairs or buttons in them: 

This spotted fabric button is from the Purple Pumpkin shop:

as is this one: 

The other 3 flairs are from Simple Stories-Sn@p. (the flairs and buttons were not included in the kit). 

And a quick pic of the JBS July 2013 papercrafting kit: 

The online crop and the challenges are over now, but then I read on the JBS blog this:  

"We're also excited to announce the winners of our Spring Crop!  We loved the entries so much that we've chosen TWO Grand Prize Winners!  These talented scrappers will be showcasing our kits as guests in the upcoming months! Without further ado, our Grand Prize Winners are . . . Monique Liedtke and Evie at Artful Scrapbooking!  Congratulations, ladies!"

Wohoo!! How awesome is that?!! 

And now I'm off to scrap some more! Have a fab weekend everyone and thank you so much for stopping by!

Live while we're young - JBS layout

To complete the challenges of the JBS online crop from last weekend we've got until March 31. So that gave me today to finish another challenge. This time I decided on Doris's challenge: "add some current song lyrics to a page and also just a touch of your own handwriting".

If you mention the word "song lyrics" in this house, 1Direction is what comes to mind. So One Direction it is: 

The papers are from the JBS October 2013 papercrafting kit: Crate's "Close Knit" plus I added a few goodies from my Purple Pumpkin stash (crochet doily, dotted fabric button, washi tape, tickets). 

A few close-ups: for the challenge you had to add some handwriting: 

The title is from the song lyrics and created with my Silhouette Cameo:

Purple Pumpkin stuff:

The radio is hand cut from one of the Crate Paper sheets, the washi is from Purple Pumpkin and the gold thingies are from the JBS kit.

Okay this is it for today! Off to walk the dog (she keeps telling me that it's alread past 5 pm, which is the time we normally take a walk). 

Hope to see you back soon!! 

Hugs,

LOVE - Another Jenni Bowlin layout

As I told you in my last post I've joined the online crop at Jenni Bowlin this weekend and here's a layout I created for one of the other challenges. This challenge is from Amanda Jones and is as follows: "use paint and a stencil" on your page in some way. As almost every papercrafting kit from Jenni Bowlin contains a stencil I've loads of them, so ... easy peasy!

My layout with a photo of Manon in the tunnel below the river "Schelde" in Antwerp, Belgium: 

and a close-up of the stencil: 

and yet more close-ups: 

For this page I've pulled products from several of the JBS papercrafting kits (sorry, can't remember which). I'm really loving these kits. Don't know why exactly, as they are so completely different from the papers I normally use - the cute ones I mean. I guess that might be why, because they are so different :) , but also because they contain so many unique products I never find in other kits. 

Thanks for stopping by again! Till next time!

Shine - Jenni Bowlin Studio

Today and tomorrow Jenni Bowlin Studio is hosting an online crop with lots of fun challenges. As their March kit arrived yesterday I decided to put it to good use straight away!!

One of the challenges (Louise Nelson's) was to create a page using cotton thread and paint ... well, I can do that!! 

So here's what I made, a page about my lovely daughter. 

The papers, flair and Thickers I used are all from the JBS March 2014 papercrafting kit, but a lot of the other bits and pieces come from older JBS kits. I've also added some washi tape, tickets and twine from Purple Pumpkin and a wood veneer piece from AC. 

Feel like playing too? Just go to the JBS forum and read all about it. 

And this is what the March papercrafting kit looks like: 

Thanks for stopping by and have a fab weekend!!

Hugs,
