Will you be mine?

Hello everyone!

I love Fridays. The weekend is on the horizon with two days to potter around, catch up with friends and hopefully sneak some scrapping time in... plus no school lunches - whoohoo! I will also be sharing my little creations with you on a Friday, which makes it all the better!

This month I got to play with the totally fab Sn@p Life from Simple Stories. I can't tell you how much fun I had with this collection. Hopefully you see something along the way that inspires you!


I've made a couple of cute cards in honour of Cupid's holiday that will be with us soon. Why don't you surprise your Valentine with a card made with love...

I used a gorgeous Cameo die cut for the card. It actually folds in, so your card can close, but I preferred to use it on the outside to show contrast with the two sides of the paper and make a little 'pocket' for the sentiment.


I have a huge crush on Studio Calico's Wood Veneers! These Hey Day ones are no exception :)



A black Valentines card I hear you cry?! It can be done! I found, using just a couple of embellishments, the colour really makes the awesome brights in the collection pop.


Another sweet Cameo cut! I popped a couple of the hearts onto foam tape as well, to add dimension.


Products used: 
'Darling card': Sn@p Simple stories #2818, Fundamentals Cardstock Stickers #2802; Alpha Stickers #4018, Paper #2805, Studio Calico Wood veneers #22, Die Cut - Samantha Walker Silhouette Store, Heart pin

'Love You card': Core'dinations cardstock, Fundamentals Cardstock Stickers #2802, Sn@p Life Red Ledger, Sn@p Life Bubbles, Sn@p Life Icon Stickers.

Till next time - Have fun!

October Afternoon Wóodland Park - Layout

Hi,

Rikki here and its my first post for Sassy Scrapper, I am very excited to be joining this team and I hope to inspire you with my work. I was extremely excited to get my first design team kit and it got to the point where I may have been stalking the postie, waiting to see his van drive past, waiting to go out after I saw his van go past..... but we can talk about my " stalking" tendencies and other issues later.

I have been very lucky to receive October Afternoon's Woodland Park range to play with this month, and I have to say I am in love with it, I could talk about it for hours on end but really that's not why your here? you want to see what you can create with it.



I am a huge fan of fussy cutting and layering with a bit of foam mount, I love dimensions, this range really allows your to do that.....


October Afternoon Woodland Park comes with these neat little sticky Woodland Little Flyer's, you just pull the sticker off the backing and wrap it around your tooth pick and you have a flag. The embellishment pack even comes with the toothpicks......


As you can see I love my layers and the Woodland Park Crab Apple Orchard piece of pattern paper allows you to mix up the sizes of the flowers, and not to mention the co ordinating velvet ribbon from the Woodland Park Wrap pack...

And you cant forget these Woodland Little Flyer's, so why don't you pop over to Sassy Scrapper's online store and grab them before there gone.

The orange & magenta colour scheme is so unique. I really enjoyed working with some different colours. This is me & my 3 kidlets Hunter 7, Kayla 4 & Evie 2 celebrating my birthday last year.

Layout - Pink Paislee Portfolio!

Hi everyone, it's Sam Hauzer here with another layout to share using the gorgeous Pink Paislee Portfolio range...





This range is great for scrapping just about anything, as it's really quite neutral, and it really lets the photos take centre stage. I found it great for scrapping black and white photos too!

The Artisan Words are fabulous to use for a quick title, and although I left the word plain white in my layout, these words can easily be coloured to match in with any paper range.


Make sure you check out this gorgeous range for yourself, in the Sassy Scrappers Shop right HERE.

Have a great day!

Guest Designer - Kim Kendell

Hello all I am honoured to be a guest designer for Sassy Scrapper I live in Southern NSW and have been scrapping for over 10 years now, I have been on many design teams over the years and am currently on 5 design teams one of which is an Australian manufacturer of chipboard WOW (Words or Whatever).

What I love about scrapbooking and the current trends is the introduction of using mixed media on a layout you can achieve so much with texture paste and sprays and inks as the month progresses what for a sample of my work using mixed media. Something that I will share about my scrapping is that I rarely use a photo to scrap with I usually design my layout then when finished look for a photo, i find this so easy if I need to gauge the size of a photo I will just use a piece of scrap cardstock cut to size.

My inspiration comes from many sources my family of cause but i am also very inspired from nature and colour, my style could be said to be vintage chic I am not frightened to try anything new and love experimenting.

My guest designer pack was the amazing new 75 cents range from Kaisercraft. How I created this vintage Lo was to start with a Kaisercraft cardstock background and used a distressing tool to roughen the edges of the cardstock.

I then taken the 75 Cents Sixpence paper and used the reverse side to start the paper layering on my LO by using the reverse side I have been able to generate the effect of another layer due to the pattern in the paper, I then went on to use 75 Cents Penny to create the next layer.

   
I then distressed both these pages and then some of the lace from the lace and string pack I received across the top of the pages I have used foam mounting tape to give height to my layout I also added the Kaisercraft bling at the top of my layout.


I then took the large flower sticker from the 75 Cents Sticker Sheet I have stuck it on to cardstock then cut it out and mounted it onto my layout using double sided foam tape. I the took my A-Z title Adore and sprayed it with the Heidi Swapp Colour Shine Gold Lame.


I have then used the 75 Cents Collectables to find all my little bits and pieces that I have put on my layout these packs are fabulous value for money and contain so much in a packet. Then I started adding my Kaisercraft flowers on to my layout, 


This paper range is just amazing for vintage layouts and yet also lends it self to more modern style layouts as well which you will see in my next upload, I would highly recommend purchasing this range as its so versatile and has fabulous coordinated embellishments and the colours in the papers are suited to layouts on people or nature young or vintage.

I hope you have enjoyed my creation and I will share some more later in the month with you.
