weekend inspiration: studio calico

 

 

The Thataway collection from Studio Calico is perfect for scrapping those outdoor, beach or holiday photos.  The colour palette is gorgeous!  Sue has scrapped photos from her recent getaway along the beautiful Northern NSW coast.  She has made use of one of the stitched pockets to house her journaling, those adorable feather die-cuts (which Sue backed with gold glitter paper from American Crafts) and the lovely little wood veneer anchors. The Buckaroo Thickers add the final touch with the title.

The next two layouts were created by the very talented Studio Calico designer, Kelly Noel. Kelly has used the adorable Storytime collection to scrap photos of her beautiful baby, Sawyer.  This collection makes me want to go back and re-scrap all of my children's baby photos!

 

Talk about cuteness overload!!  The following layout was created by Nicole Samuels who is also a designer for Studio Calico.  We love the beautiful garland that Nicole has cleverly created.

weekend inspiration: jillibean soup

 

 

Jillibean soup has always been a warm favourite for Leeann and she loves this new collection, Cold Avocado Soup. The colour palette and the simple graphics in some of the pattern papers are very appealing to her. What helps brings texture to this page is the corrugated shapes. And you can’t get enough of the all ready made journal tags they certainly get the ball rolling when creating your pages!

weekend inspiration: hero arts

 

 

 

 

Jane has used the Hero Arts Wish You Were Here stamp set with BasicGrey Mint Julep collection of papers and stickers to create these two cards. On one card Jane stamped the chair and lamp on the pretty vintage themed papers, cut the images out and layered them on a label sticker. She gave the comfy chair some padding shape by adding shadows with a grey watercolour pencil. The other card Jane cut an oval from the white card and placed a ornate frame sticker around it then added it to the card front using foam mounting tape. The sentiments are perfect to surprise a friends day and to let them know how much you miss them!!

weekend inspiration: technique tuesday

 

 

With this layout and the next Louise was very much inspired by the current chalkboard trend. With the fabulous Technique Tuesday hand writing type font words and white embossing techniques, on the black card stock, this 'look' is easily achieved.

Designing With… Wood Veneer, Chipboard

 

 

 

 

 

Stacey created this layout using lots of Wood Veneer products from the Dear Lizzy collection Polka Dot Party.  She decided to cover the pieces in the Wow Chunky gold glitter.  She also covered the banner piece with the White Chunky glitter to break up from the gold.  Stacey thought these pieces where really fun to work with as they were quite large in size and bigger than your usual wood veneer.  She even managed to sneak in a wooden clip.

Project Life pocket pages are such a fun way to scrapbook events and trips, with so many small pieces there is a chance to use all sorts of details and embellishments. Danielle enjoyed adding various wood veneer die cuts from BasicGrey’s Carte Postale range to her two project life pages about a recent trip to Hobart with her son. The travel motifs suited the theme well, and there were some wooden elements - such as the polaroid style frame and the outlined speech bubbles - that were easy to use pretty much anywhere!
