80s Party | Allara Bamforth

Merry Xmas Eve!!!

I hope you are all ready for the big man tomorrow and you enjoy your time with family and friends or what ever you choose to do over the holiday period. I have 9 days off work, so I am hoping to relax at least a little bit.

Once again the 80s are back and I have a fun 80s photo, this time with a cardboard cut out of the man himself at the 80s themed party on the cruise.

On my background from the 'Rad Retro' Collection I've used the Rad Retro Stencil with some clear gel medium. Once this is dry I've taken my distress oxide inks and water coloured over the top with a rainbow of colours.

From the Everyday Etc Filler Cards and the 12 x 12 paper 'Neon Lights' I've matted my photo with a half circular shape. From Everyday Etc Cards, I've added a few of the quotes and some Page tabs tucked in behind them. A Die Cut Bits and Bobs is also tucked into this stack and I've added a Flair Button to the corner of my matted photo. On the background I've let some black dylusion ink run over the a few areas and stamped the 'This Way' Art Foamies with some Oxide ink over the black inked areas.

And on top of this some of the photo tab quotes!

I'd like take this opportunity to wish you all a very Merry Xmas and Happy New Year. I'm excited to see what the new year brings.

Back To The 80s | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Today I have another layout to share using the 'Rad Retro' collection.

It was perfect timing that my son's end-of-year school concert 

had an 80s theme this year. 

I can still hear the music to "I'm Still Standing" in these photos!!

I used the 'Warm Hug' paper from the Parent Of The Year 12x12 paper pack as my base.

I then added some of the 'Expo 88' paper from the Rad Retro 12x12 paper pack.

I fussy cut the 'Back to the 80s' from an Everyday Etc card to use as my title.

I added a layer of cardboard to bring the words up out of the dotty layer.

 

I also fussy cut the 'Totally Awesome 80s' record 

and again backed it with some cardboard to add some dimension.

I added a couple of flair buttons, some snippet strips, as well as some Die Cut Bits & Bobs.

Thanks for looking

Livin on a Prayer | Allara Bamforth

Happy Sunday!

I'm excited to be on the blog this morning with the new 'Rad Retro' collection. As soon as I saw this collection I knew I would have to scrap a fabulous photo of my favourite 80s rocker - Jon Bon Jovi, who is still going strong and who I was lucky enough to meet in August! OMG!!

I've started off with black cardstock for this layout and cut into sections one of the 12 x 12 papers 'Pretty in Pink'. Once I stuck down my papers, I've splattered across the background some of the Flutter Colour Paint from the Bright's Set and stamped the Fill It In Art Foamies in Oxide Ink randomly as well.

The photo was then matted in the Rad Retro Filler Cards and I've added various cut outs from the Everday Etc Cards, including the 'Awesome' title under the photo. The fabulous cassette that has 'Livin on a Prayer' conveniently on it was cut from one of the 12 x 12 Paper 'What's Going On'!!. A Rad Retro Flair Button has been added to the bottom right of the photo and a Photo Tab to the top right.

This collection is so fun and colourful. I have so many great pics to go with it and I can't wait to share some more in my next post.

Till then,

RAD | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Today I have a layout to share using the 

brand new Rad Retro collection.

I started with a piece of 'Wicked' paper from the Rad Retro 12x12 paper pack. 

I added some white gesso then applied some Flutter Colour paints from the Blues Set.

I added some Everyday Etc cards under my photo, 

adding cardboard under each layer to add dimension.

I picked out the RAD word from the Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack for my title, 

and added it to my layers with some cardboard.

I also added the boom box and speakers.

I also added a flair, and 3 stars from Charm's Creations.

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies

Chrissi again today with another layout using the new Rad Retro Collection.

This was a picture of me on my way to The Flutterby Create by The Lake 2019 Retreat. Had to stop off and get something for woine rime.

This is a really quick and simple layout, alot different to my usual. Using some Flutter Colour Paint as my base.

 But I loved the Girls just Wanna have fun every day etc card so much, I wanted it to be the main focus of the page. So no real embellishing on here. I kept it very simple.

Don't forget, the new collection is available on the website to purchase now.

Happy Scrapping

RAD ll Chrissi Mannix

Hello Lovelies

With the launch of the new Rad Retro Collection, I have a new project to show you.

This layout would have to be one of my absolute favourites I've ever made. 

I used one of the Every Day Etc Cards as my colour inspiration for this layout. I started with some Flutter Colour paint for my background to match the card. Then using the new This Way Art Foamies, I used black paint to add to my background. 

I was in love with this background from the beginning lol. Then I went through the Every Day Etc Filler cards to find some layers for my photo.

As I love to do often, I have used one of the Every Day Etc Cards for my title. In this case I fussy cut the RAD out and used it for my title. 

I decided I wanted to add more to my title, so I used some alphabet stamps to complete my title.

With my layout and background as busy as it was, I didn't embellish this layout much, but I'm really happy with how it comes together. 

Dont forget to come check out what the rest of the DT do with this fabulous new collection.

Rad Retro is available to purchase from the website.

Happy Scrapping Lovelies

Create | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

While we are eagerly awaiting the new release this Friday, 

I am digging into my stash and have created 

this layout using the 'Creative Chaos' range.

I have created my background by scraping some Flutter Colour paint 

onto a piece of Kaisercraft pattern paper with a palette knife.

 I fussy cut the 'create' word from an Everyday Etc card.

I also fussy cut the scissors for another embellishment.

I used some Everyday Etc cards to back a cut file from Cut To You.

I also layered some Everyday Etc cards under my photo.

I added a flair, a page tab and some enamel dots.

I also added a star from Charm's Creations.

Don't forget to set your alarms for the new release 'RAD RETRO'

this Friday (22nd November) at 8pm AEDST.

Thanks for looking

L.O.V.E | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel with you today on the blog 

with my latest layout to share with you.

To create my background I cut some rainbow-striped 

Everyday Etc filler cards into individual colours.

I then matched these colours with some Gelatos to create the rainbow background.

I cut the word 'LOVE' from an Everyday Etc card from the 'Parent Of The Year' collection.

 

I matted my photo with a white Everyday Etc filler card 

and added a white fussy cut to tone down the rainbow background.

 

I only added a few embellishments, to keep the rainbow background 

as the main design element of my page.

I added a flair button, a sticker, some washi, 

a page tab, enamel dots and some thread.

It wouldn't be a Rachel layout without adding some black ink splatters!!

Thanks for looking

Independence | Allara Bamforth

Good Morning,

I'm back on the blog today with a whimsical design featuring the 'Parent of the Year' collection.

As I like making my own backgrounds, I've used the Flutter Colour Paint to brush some full strokes up the centre of my black card, using colours from the Brights Set. With the 'Migraine Madness' stencil I've sponged some paint through towards the sides of my brushed middle. Using the 'Round Randoms' Art foamies stamps I've stamped a few designs using some of my left over paint as well.

My photo is of my daughter on a swing, so using watered down Artic White, I drawn  myself a tree to hang her swing from.

As usual I've matted my photo with cards from the Everday Etc Filler cards and used the Everday Etc Cards for a title which I've anchored to a sign post from a strip of offcut from the 12 x 12 paper from the We Are Collection. I've once again splattered some of the left over paint around, cause it always looks good on black background and finished off with some Puffy Heart Stickers on the leaves I've drawn with my Posca Pen.

Thanks for taking the time to check this out, as always links back to the products on the Website.

Till Next Post,

Be Awesome Dudes | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you on the blog today.

Today I have a fun 'boy' layout to share of the three men in my life!

To create my background I have cut the 'Is It Bedtime Yet?' paper 

using a cut file from Cut To You. 

I have adhered the triangles with foam tape to lift the design up off the page. 

I used an Everyday Etc card from the Extreme Teen collection for my title.

I added some Everyday Etc cards under my photo and title card.

 I've added some stickers, and a quote from the 

'Parent of the Year' Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack.

I added a flair button, a star from Charm's Creations, and some thread for interest.

I finished off my page with some ink splatters.

Thanks for looking
