A weekend with " PLay, Laugh,Grow" layout .

Hellooo

Welcome back!! 


Well today I have another quick share for you for the Paper Issues online crop for you !! This time this layout is for Mary- Anne's grid layout challenge.. Now I love me a grid or two or three, but this time I wanted to change it up a little and have the grid working from top to bottom..

Again I used the new Craft Market line by Crate Paper which I am just loving at the moment..

I even managed to use my custom made flair that I had Michelle from The Stamp Spot create for me. " Abs" is the nickname I use for my daughter Abigail , and it was no problem for her to just whip them up for me :)

A weekend with " paper Issues Online Crop"

Helloooo....



Well I have been playing along this weekend sporadically with the Paper Issue online crop!! I LOVE when I get a chance to play along and love the challenge of creating as much as I can to use up my mountain of products here!! 






So I managed to get two layouts done so far using some of the new Crate Paper - Craft Market collection. I I received three of the same paper ( the floral 12 x 12 ) so I am determined to find different ways to use the same paper. So this is the first layout that I managed to create to go along side Sherry Funk's "Make is Sparkle"  challenge. I LOVE my glitter and sequins so this was a no brainer for me lol.. 

So this is my take..

 I loved layering over my trusty watercolor..

This collection was perfect to use with this photo!! I have been apart of a very special group of crafters from my local area. We have all become good friends and try and catch up for coffee every few months. Although lately this has not happened as so many things in life have gotten in the way. 

These ladies all craft..l sewing, knitting, jewelry design, cake decorating.. the whole lot.. so it is awesome to be around people with the same love and passion for crafting..

I have loved playing along and will share my other layouts throuh out the week also!! If you would like to play along make sure that you head on over to the paper issues facebook group to check out all the challenges!! you have until the 28th of this month to enter..


Thanks so much for stopping by 

Till next time

A weekend with " Hang on" Layout for BoBunny

Helloooo...



Well I am back today to share with you the second layout that I created last weekend - but this time the masculine version using the "Sweet Life" collection by BoBunny. If you missed the first layout that is the girly version you can see the layout HERE

This layout follows the same layout design as the previous one - except this time I pulled out the darker colours from the collection.

This layout came together super fast!!! I pulled out the large butterflies from the noteworthy pack and based the layout colours around those. I need to order more of those packs are they are full of gorgeous butterflies .. I need more lol..

I also used  some of my older BoBunny textured stamps and once the Tim Holtz yellow ink dried I dulled it down by roughly stamping over the top of it . I also played around with the new BoBunny Double Dot alpha sticker range. They are the perfect size for me!! I LOVE them!!

A weekend with " Amy Tangerine"

Hellooooo

Welcome to Friday.. 

Oh man I have so been looking forward to this day , as this mum is exhausted!! I have had a sick little boy at home and every night we have been doing the bed time shuffle!! Last night I thought I would cut out the middle man and just sleep in his bed!! I think this may have been more drama then what it was worth.. 

But to make things a little brighter The Stamp Spot is offering a whopping 25% off all the Amy Tangerine goodies to help celebrate Amy's visit down under this month !! How awesome!! No code needed but I would get in quick before it all disappears... 

Run don't walk.. 

Here are some of the samples that I created for Michelle over at The Stamp Spot using products from the store :) 




Thanks again for stopping by and make sure you help us over at The Stamp Spot to celebrate Amy Tangerine's visit down under ♥ 


Till next time 

Much love

A weekend with " May the Sun Shine"

Hellooo...


Well today it feels like  a Bella Blvd kind of day around here. and one filled with lots of alphas too boot!! 

This layout has lots of sentimental value to me and this quote I just had to add alongside this photo of me. 

I have a ton of alphas here so knew instantly that I wanted to create the quote down the side of the page, while I created a mimic of the sunrays on the other side of the layout.

I was so happy to be able to use up so many alphas, I think I really want to try this again with another layout as I love the overall look of it all.

I used watercolor in the background to help ground all the different colours in the alpha stickers. I then grabbed out my Studio Calico plastic sunburst template - usually used for misting and traced out the sun beam shapes for the other hal of the layout.

I am super pleased with how this turned out!!! But then the pretty products also make it so easy to work with :)

A weekend with " Has my Heart "

Hellooo


Dropping in to share with you my latest published layout in the last Scrapbooking Memories Magazine.. 

This layout was featured in their " Trendwatching" section for skeletal embellishments. I used the Rose Cut files from the Wilna Furstenberg blog. I just adore those leaves and have been using them as much as I can!! 


Has my heart layout by Bernii Miller.


I have been loving playing with watercolour and have been having more fun combining that with plastic templates!! Using them as a subtle background and then roughly outlining them with my black fine tip pen. 



Has my heart layout by Bernii Miller.


For this layout I used the WOW plastic rose template which I just adore, and you can see the template here
I also used a ton of different flowers from BoBunny, Prima Marketing, Kaisercraft and then some other random flowers that I had accumulating in my stash.

A weekend with " Love You"

Hellooooo...



I just love black and white photos to scrapbook with!! 
It allows me to focus so much more on the photo itself and also allows me to play with colours the way I love too!! 

This time I decided to pull out an aua , pink and silver theme from some Bella Blvd papers, to try and create a little lovin' feeling on my page.. 


Love You layout by Bernii Miller using Bella Blvd.


I just love using a grid style especially when I find it hard to limit my embellishments ha ha .. Going grid style means I can play with more.. 


Love You layout by Bernii Miller using Bella Blvd.


I made this little rosette to cluster with the super sweet crochet hearts..

A weekend with " Free - layout for BoBunny"

Helloooo..



Well I have been playing with the new " Sweet Life" collection by BoBunny and I am totally in love with it's vibrant colours and total versatility . While I was playing on the weekend I managed to create two layouts that follow the same layout design but created both a masculine and soft and feminine look from the same collection. 

So today I wanted to share with you the soft and pretty version that I created from this collection.

Free layout by Bernii Miller for BoBunny using the Sweet Life collection.


BoBunny have just released their brand new die collection.. You can check it out .HERE I have been itching to use them as soon as I received my design team box , so I made some butterflies and even nested them inside each other to create a 3D look.

The noteworthy pack from this collection is full of sweet sentiments like this " Sail away with me" banner, which I just think is perfect for this photo.

I just love the colours that came from this collection.. I also added little bits of sparkle to the butterfly wings but adding some of the new Glitter Paste in sugar ..

Weekend with " Wow Look"

Helloooo...


Well I have been having fun playing with the bright and fun Bella Blvd papers that have been sitting on my desk.. 

I am finding that I am trying my hardest to use up collections while they are out, as I have so many paper collections here I could open up my very own store !! I am not too sue if that is a good thing lol.. 

So I am trying to hardest to use up as much as what I have on hand.. and it is not too hard when the papers are this fun!! 


WOW LOOK layout by Bernii Miller using Bella Blvd papers.

I started this layout by sewing the strips of left over papers down the side of my layout. I then left if for a couple of days as it was the start of the work well.. 

Well in the mean time my kittens had made their way onto my work space and decided to eat a biscuit on my layout..and not only was it on my layout, but it was on the white space of the layout..

So I had little marks left of the layout as I was madly trying to get the biscuit pieces off my layout!!  to help cover up those smudges I decided to use the Distress Stain in a few colours and just add splashes of colour across the page..

It worked a treat and I can not even tell there was a mess up on my layout..
