Scrapology March Challenge - G is for Glitter - A True Friend....

Scraplifting the lovely Anita and using the same papers -

Bo Bunny's Garden Girl - was a lot of fun.

Here is my version, altered to fit my photograph.

I cut the centre from the die-cut sheet and stuck the edge onto the bazzill cardstock.

The centre was replaced with a layer of foam tape once I had inked the edges.

I cut the long sentiment from the die-cuts sheet ready to add to the page along with "friends at first sight"  and "a lifetime...."

Once I had all the elements I needed I turned this sheet over and cut parts of the 6x6 frames out, gutted the centres and joined them over the photo. This was mounted again on foam tape.

From the Garden Girl paper, I cut some butterfly wings and flowers which I added the page.

The butterflies have rolled paper bodies and were mounted on 3d foam pads.

The sentiments were added then.

I layered the flowers in a swathe up the left hand side and added others below the long sentiment.

The "A Lifetime..." sentiment was adjusted to be thinner and then added to the bottom of the photograph to cover the frame joint.

There wasn't really anywhere to add journalling so I used further elements from the cut-outs sheet to create a tag. I stapled some raffia to the edge and tucked it in under the frame.

Magenta stickles was added liberally to the page to finish.

Still time to enter the challenge, pop over to Scrapology for details.

Thanks for looking.

Happy Birthday Anita - a little early :)

On Saturday at Cardinal Colours Crop we celebrated Anita's Birthday - a little early I know but we won't see her again til the end of the month.
This is the card I made for her.
I used a 6x6" version of BG Nook and Pantry paper for the background and layered with an embossed sheet of white card then a frame cut with a Marianne die.

The image is House Mouse and is coloured with Copic pens aswell as some gellyroll glitter pens.

I distressed the edge and inked before adding with 3d pads.

A few roses from my stash were place under the image and a CWC greeting mounted onto an SU punched oval which I have stickled with gold.

I made Chocolate Orange Cupcakes for the occassion decorated with Orange jellies and Lindt Intensly Orange Chocolate pieces. Here they are ready in the box to go.

Oh, I forgot to mention the edible glitter too!

A close-up :)


Believe it or not I didn't have one as I have given up sweet things for lent, especially chocolate!

Happy Birthday Anita, hope you had a lovely day and will enjoy your birthday on the 21st.

Its a family affair.

Our mega talented friend Anita created this frame class recently, see here for details, and we were lucky enough to be able to make one at last saturdays crop at Cardinal Colours.

I didn't have a recent photograph of Robert, Lianne and I together so I used two taken on the Eurostar on our trip to Disneyland recently and "merged" them. I was quite happy with the result as you can't see the join! :)

The papers are from My Minds Eye, Lost and Found collection, the roses are cut from spirals of paper and glued in place. The word "Family" is accented with a swirl stamp and some stazon ink.

Jewells were added to the frame and the rose centres, although you can't really see them here.

Thank-You so much Anita for sharing another fabulous idea.

Canvas Masterclass by Anita.

Anita taught a fantastic canvas class at the Cardinal Colours Retreat 2011.

See here for the original.

This is my version which I created using a photograph of my parents looking very young!

Lynn and I made ours prior to the retreat so we could assist (or hinder??) Anita on the day.

Thanks Anita for creating such a beautiful treasure, Dad loved it.
