Creatopia Workshops at The Mad Scrapper - Class 3

 

This was our kit for the first class of day 2.

It was Nunu's turn to take the session.

We sealed the paper with a couple of coats of clear gesso, and then put some white pearl Cadence paste through a stencil.

The room was buzzing, everyone was having an amazing time.

Added some random stamping in walnut stain distress ink.

The next step was to build the composition.

And start to stick it down, just using paper glue.

And this was my finished piece, very minimal. However, we were given loads and loads of different embellishments to add if we wanted to, but I didn't, I am very happy with it how it is.

Canada 2026 - Scrapbook Pages

 

Another Elephant Page

This page is approx 7" x 7.5". I've made one similar but it was too big and I didn't have the heart to cut it down so I made another to fit what I wanted it for.  

I got this 8" x 8" black scrapbook from The Works recently.

As you can see, the inside pages are black too.

Stuck the page into the book leaving a slight black borded.

Holiday Pages - 2016

I always make pages of the photos from our ski holiday, so here is a small selection of my favourites. As you can see, we went to Utah and stayed in Utah this time.

Due to the lack of new snow, we did more sightseeing this year, this is the Parown Gap and its petroglyphs near Cedar City.

This was the long windy road up to Cedar Breaks, there wasn't any new snow, the snow plough was just chipping the edges away and blowing it out its blower!

History behind Antelope Island, a place no-one wanted, so the mormons claimed it.

We saw wild bisons and a couple of antelopes on the island.

Stunning views of the red rock whilst driving through Kolob Canyons, southern Utah.

More stunning red rock, we just touched the tip of Zion National Park.

Martin saw this guy, Jim, carving animals with a chainsaw, and I fell in love with the bear top left but it was far too big for us to get home, so he made a smaller one especially for us. We sat him on our balcony and gave him some sunglasses! We got him home in one piece eventually, after being stopped, searched and swabbed at the airport, he is now sat in our fireplace!

World Traveller

My holiday photos arrived this week and over on the PA blog Pam the queen of scrap booking is back and for her third project she'd created a fab layout incorporating strips of paper and a sewing machine which you can see here. So I chose an appropriate photo and came up with this.

Close up of the paper, machine sewn stitches and the lace.
