Southern Girls Challenge - Retro - Use a punch

Hi there, our challenge for Team Trace this time is to use a punch. I do tend to forget about my punches so I enjoyed getting them out & having a play & I ended up using my large circle punch. My starting point for this layout was a Hip Kit club sketch. The photo  is a recent one taken from our trip down to the Catlins for a family wedding. While we were there we went to the Purakaunui Falls, my daughter loves waterfalls & I snapped this photo of her in front of the falls.

this is the sketch I have used:

Everything I have used on my layout are from recent hip kits featuring Pinkfresh Studios products.

Southern Girls -Pop it up

The weeks are flying by, hard to believe we are already in March! It's time for another Southern Girls challenge & this time it's pop it up with foam. I have made this layout as a present for a friend, the photo is of her daughter who has just left home & moved to another city. Her favourite colour is yellow so I have based the layout around that & added in a little pink & black. I have popped up the paper layers with foam dots as you can see in the close ups. My background is colour paste through a gorgeous floral stencil & the paper is Bo Bunny Petal Lane, one of my recent favourites. Add in a yellow heart & a few flowers & we're done.

Southern Girls - 3 patterned papers

Hi there, time for another Southern Girls challenge & this time it's to use at least 3 patterned papers, not to hard right 😉.  I have been trying to use up some older collections recently so I have used the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane collection. Embellishments are from Heidi Swapp, Rainbow Splendour, Corbett Creations &   D-lish scraps.

The photo is of my youngest daughter Aimee in Wellington when we went up there for the weekend last year. 

A couple of close ups, I have started off with texture paste through one of my favourite Tim Holtz stencils & added some pink & gold splatters.

Southern Girls - Stitching

Hi there, welcome to our first challenge for the year at Southern Girls, I hope everyone managed to get some crafty time in over the holiday break. The challenge is stitching, an easy one for me because I love to stitch on my layouts.
This is the first layout for awhile (ever?) that I haven't used patterned paper, instead I have used some red tissue paper behind the photos, colour paste &
various embellies.
The photos are of my daughter from when she was travelling around Europe last year.

Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone, hope you are enjoying the holiday season & are getting to spend time with loved ones & maybe fit in some creative time also. I have had a couple of days scrapping with my sister, which was lovely, and I have a few layouts to share. My daughter, Georgia,  spent 10 weeks travelling around Europe & Scandinavia last year & I finally managed to get some photos printed of her trip. My first layout is of her kayaking at sunset in the Adriatic Sea off the coast of Dubrovnik. I absolutely loved Dubrovnik when I did my OE many moons ago so I was really pleased she got to go there.

I have used the Cocoa Vanilla Bohemian Dream collection, colour paste from Colour Blast & a few embellies from Rainbow Splendour & Charms Creations.

My next layout is also using the Bohemian Dream collection. The paper, embellies & title are all from the collection. These photos of my sister Vicky & I and mum were taken in August on the Sunshine Coast when we went over to visit for Vicky's birthday.

That's it for now, more to come in the next couple of days. Until then stay safe & enjoy the rest of the holidays!!

Southern Girls -All that Glitters

Hi there, our last Southern Girls challenge for the year is All that Glitters. Of course I had to do a Xmas layout. I like to get some photos in front of the tree on Xmas morning, sometimes I get a few grumbles & groans but it's Xmas right, photos are a must!! I do have a weakness for Xmas collections but have managed to resist buying any this year so have dipped into my stash & used a mix of papers/embellies from Pinkfresh Studios & Fancy Pants.

I have used glitter embossing powder on my chippie & glitter washi tape also.

A close up of my glitter elements, love this blue!

Southern Girls - Inks & Sprays

Hi there, I can't believe how fast the last month has gone by since my first SGC share. Time for the next one & the theme this time is inks & sprays. I have had lots of fun with this one & have used the following:
Dylusions Ink Spray: Pure Sunshine
Tim Holtz Distress Oxide: Fired Brick & Broken China
Ranger Archival Ink: Black

The photo was taken when we went out to lunch just before my oldest daughter, Georgia, headed off on her trip to Europe & Scandinavia in April. She had 10 weeks travelling around, made lots of friends &  had a fantastic time.
