Scrap Tiffany - Fabulous Friday Finds

Hello to all the Scrap Tiffany followers, it's that time of the week again - Fabulous Friday Finds! There is no better way to get just a little bit of inspiration, or perhaps a nudge to try something completely different!

So I wanted to share some of my favourite creative individuals and their musings (blogs).







Make It and Love It - There is a little bit of everything on this blog, sewing, crafting, baking... everything I love! Thank you Ashley for sharing your creative talent and ideas!



Sewing in No Mans Land - Kelly is just so very creative, I love to sew when I have time and the pieces she comes up with are just adorable... and the patterns are free to download!



The Girl Who Ate Everything - And I think there is nothing better than crafting with some delicious goodies... and perhaps a great coffee (if I actually drank coffee!). I just love cheesecake desserts, make sure you check out the Caramel Apple Cheesecake... yummmmm!!!!





An Embellished Life - And this is one of my favourite gal pal blogs, the very talented Barbara Shepherd. Barbara is amazing with her card and layout creations... and wicked sense of humor!

Polkadot Prints - If you love parties... well Jordan is your girl. She has an amazing amount of party wares, printables and idea's! Oh my goodness, it just blows my mind how talented some people can be!

Well I hope you enjoyed your journey to some of my favourite blogs and perhaps got some inspiration for your next project!

Have a great weekend, till next time.

Scrap Tiffany - June Sketch Challenge

Hello Fellow Bloggers!

Well I have just spent 16 hours on a flight from Dallas to Brisbane, and I am feeling just a little on the tired side of life. Luckily I had this challenge done before we headed off on our holiday, so I hope you enjoy.


It is time for another Scrap Tiffany challenge and I just love sketches, especially if you want to get a creative hit without hitting a creative block!

Here is what I came up with the sketch from Sophie - thanks Sophie, great sketch!

And here a few close ups... not sure if you have noticed but I do like to work with accertate and have used it again in this layout as the background for the flower. I used alcohol inks and a heat gun to curl the edges of the accertate, giving it a little dimension.






Make sure you check out the creations from the very talented Design Team.




Chat soon, Krischelle

Scrap Tiffany - Favourite Manufacturer

Hello Bloggers,

I just love this challenge, just something about using your fav's on a layout... so what is my favourite, I have a few...and for this layout it's My Minds Eye and a little bit of Tim Holtz!
I actually created this layout for one of my closest friends, Miche! We have been friends since high school and after seeing some of my layouts when the family were back in Australia for Christmas, she asked me to create a layout for her mum for Mothers Day. I must admit, I was terrified... I love creating memories through scrapbooking, but they are for me... not someone else. But after fretting for a good while, I came up with the layout below and I just love how it turned out.




Isn't he a such a gorgeous little boy, as you know I don't have a boy and although I was worried about the finished project... I just loved the creative process and producing a layout about Saxon. The My Mind's Eye papers, as choosen by my girlfriend, worked so beautifully with the portraits taken by Luke Willey of Voice Photography.



Here is a close up of the layered flowers I created from the My Minds Eye pattern paper and used some Rock Candy to give them a little something.



I hope you liked my layout as much as I do, why not pop over to Scrap Tiffany to check out what the design team have created.



Take care, Krischelle

Scrap Tiffany - Guilty Pleasure

Hello Bloggers,

I am back today to share with you the latest Scrap Tiffany challenge - Guilty Pleasure. What is your guilty pleasure? For me, I don't like coffee, I don't eat a lot of chocolate... and most of you would know I can't have wine... so for me, my indulgence is my desire to create! It's my craft... from knitting... sewing to papercraft of all types. Yeap, that's it... fabric, ribbon, paper, cardstock, beads, felt, paint, ink, punches and tools of all sorts - I just love it!

So this is my layout for this challenge, just a little insight into my craft world... I am sure Kenyon would tell you it is much larger than what you see here.... he he he....





And I wanted to show you a little close up of the flower I made for my layout, it was the first time I have used the Cosmo Cricket Glubers... and I love them! Yes another craft supply that I love...



So thanks for stopping by to check out my layout, make sure you head back to Scrap Tiffany to see what the design team has put together for this challenge.


Till next time, Krischelle

Scrap Tiffany - May Challenge - Friendship



Well it is time for another challenge with Scrap Tiffany and this challenge is about friendship. I am not sure why, but I find it hard to scrap about myself... (and just so easy scrapping my girls...) but I enjoy trying to stretch myself and so we have my layout for this challenge.


As my journalling states, I found it hard to find true friends younger in life... until I met Kenyon and as I sat watchng the Royal Wedding and thinking about the challenge, it gave me time to reflect on the vows of my wedding day and the commitment we made to each other. Our friendship is just so important to me that I commit to those vows each and everytime I hear them.


Why not try one of Scrap Tiffany's challenge, check out all of the talented Design Team's work and send yours in to Tiffany.

Scrap Tiffany - Stamping Challenge

Hello Bloggers, What a wonderful week of artistic expression! I had a great time with the Blog Hop and got some great ideas for future projects! How about you? Well to back this up, our next challenge is to include stamping in our project. I just love stamps and I have a wonderful collection but somehow I am unable to use them on a layout. So I dug out my beautiful stamps and created the layout below.


So if you are like me and have a collection of stamps and rarely use them, why not have a go at a card or layout for this months challenge and send it into Tiffany. While you are at it, check out all the wonderful projects by the Design Team at the Scrap Tiffany blog.


Till next time, Krischelle
