Farewell Scrappingclearly

Hello there Scrappingclearly fans.  This post is rather sad - it's my very last post as I am finishing up my DT position at the end of this month.  It's been a wonderful 2+ years and I thank Kylie and the team so much for their faith in me.  I have enjoyed my time here, designing with some fabulous ranges, trying new things and making new friends. 
 
For my very last post, I've decided to share my favourite pages/creations from the last 2 {and a bit} years.  There might be a few, so make that cuppa and enjoy!
 
{I really loved this range - Simple Stories Summer Vibes}
 
Getting my Mixed Media on!
Products used:
 
I have used the Heidi Swapp Believe 6x6 paper pad ... and lots of the ephemera pack for this page.


I have used the perfectly glittery All That Glitters range by Kaiser Craft for this page
Simple but effective!
 
I just LOVED creating this super cute acrylic album!  I went all beachy and used the Simple Stories  Summer Vibes range.  See the entire album HERE.
 
There was a time when I shared quite a few pages of my planner!  Just loved this project!  See THIS POST for more!
 
Awww ... this page was created with the lovely Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Bloom collection.
 
I even scrapped a pic of myself! 
 
I've made many cards over my time here, too!  Here's a couple ...
 
These colours are my favourite :)
 
For this page, I used the Something Wonderful 6 x 6 Designer Pad for the background papers -
I've wanted to do this design for a while using 6 x 6 papers (no cutting to size ;) )...  and this was the perfect opportunity!
Products used:
Something Wonderful Decorative Stickers 32 pcs
Teresa Collins Something Wonderful Ephempera Pack
Something Wonderful Washi Tape

 
So there you have it - a quick journey through my 2 {and a bit} years here at Scrappingclearly.  What a journey it has been!  I will miss it so much, but life takes us in different directions, and it's time for me to take a step back now.  I know that the rest of the team will continue to inspire you and I will enjoy seeing their projects in the days to come.
 
For the last time, happy scrapping, and take care.
Much love,

Merry Christmas

Hello there crafters :) 
I hope you are finding some time to craft in this busy month?  Don't forget our fabulous December Challenges!
Today I am sharing my last lot of Christmas cards using my SC stash ....


I used some more papers from the 6 x 6 Heidi Swapp Believe paper pad - these are just PERFECT for cards - there are so many different looks you can get from the same paper pad!  Adding some of the gorgeous Heidi Swapp Believe Ephemera makes things super easy for coordinating embellishments :)


Super simple cards - I love how effective just a simple strip of washi tape, a glitter cardstock. die cut and a word from the Heidi Swapp Believe Ephemera can be. 


This last card was created using some journal cards from My Mind’s Eye – On Trend 2 Collection – Journal Cards.
Using journal cards is one of my favourite things to do on cards - it makes creating easy!
 
This is my last Christmas card post - I hope you have enjoyed them as I loved making them!  See my other posts HERE and HERE.
 
Do you make Christmas cards?
Do you use non-Christmas ranges?
I'd love to see some!

Til next time,
Happy creating :)

Christmas cards :)

You might have seen my last blog post about searching my stash for leftovers to make Christmas cards.  Here are some more creations from my mammoth card making session .. a session that, admittedly, lasted quite a few days ;)
 
 
I still had some sheets of paper from the 6 x 6 Heidi Swapp Believe paper pad - these are just PERFECT for cards - there are so many different looks you can get from the same paper pad!
 
 
Adding some of the gorgeous Heidi Swapp Believe Ephemera makes things super easy for coordinating embellishments :)
 
 
I've also used some of the gorgeous banners from the Believe Banner Delights pack.  I really like this black/white/red colour palette for Christmas cards!  What do you think?

Stash busting Christmas cards

Hello there Scrappers!
 
If you are anything like me, you have a rather large stash of older products, of collections that are mostly used but there's still bits and pieces left - and you can't throw anything away - ever!  Because you never know when it will come in handy!
 
So, I decided to make some Christmas cards with what I have on hand.  Preferably not Christmas ranges - there's nothing like challenge, right?!
 
First up, I saw my sheet of Pebbles – DIY Home Collection – Washi Tape Paper ... this was perfect for a washi background!
 
 
THIS PAPER from the Pebbles DIY Home collection even featured a deer head that I cut out with a paper punch :)
 
For my second card, I used some journal cards from My Mind’s Eye – On Trend 2 Collection – Journal Cards.  Using journal cards is one of my favourite things to do on cards - it makes creating easy!
 
 
I added some Heidi Shine on the background for some shimmer :)
 
Do you make Christmas cards?  Do you use non-Christmas ranges?
 
Happy creating :)

Nov sketch at SC

😊 Hello there Scrappers!

I hope you are all enjoying the challenges at Scrapping Clearly this month - and maybe you found time to play along with our Birthday challenges too?
 
Here is the November sketch:


I was instantly inspired by the sunburst background and knew I had the perfect The Crafter's Workshop stencil which I used with some mist ...
 
 
You'll notice I did mirror the sketch to suit my photo, plus I added a few more layers here and there for added interest.  I've loved playing with the Cocoa Vanilla You Rock collection - it's perfect for pets, too!
 
 
I've added some sparkle with the Heidi Swapp Glitter Stickers Navy – Epic ... I just love these!  Lots of layers with the chipboard and veneer, along with the paper ephemera ...

Happy Scrapping!

Such a vibrant board, isn't it!

I was inspired by the colours, and the grid design...


I used the Something Wonderful 6 x 6 Designer Pad for the background papers -
I've wanted to do this design for a while...  and this was the perfect opportunity!


I just love that street map washi tape - so versatile and fun :)


That gold word thicker is so hard to photograph - but so awesome to use!

Hope you can play along with our challenges this month. :)
