Here is a project I worked on during the last few weeks of school. We had a young lass diagnosed with cancer and it was a hard time for everyone as they came to terms with it. The class put together a basket of goodies to cheer her and her family up. I made a journal that she could use to write in about her feelings, treatment, wishes, hopes and dreams. I was thrilled with the final look but it was one project I wished I never had to make. Here's hoping everything goes well and she is well on the way to recovery. xx Angela.

Sweet girl

Here is a page I did the other day to mark the wedding of a dear girl, Roberts daughter Emma.

 

I tried to use lots of the ephemera from her wedding like invitation paper, menu, paper from the reception and string used to tie numerous wedding elements.

I then used candi to look like confetti.

I hope you enjoy it.

Just thought I would share a little scrapping project I worked on a little while back. I was asked to a Mad Hatters Tea party so thought I would 'scrap a hat'.
I used the largest white foam sheets I could find in my local Riot Art supply store and then used coordinating papers from the Kaisercraft 'sweet treats' range to decorate it. I could only make it to a certain diametre and it didn't quite fit like a normal hat should so I added the white tulle and tied it on a bit like Mary Poppins.
It worked a treat and yes I won first prize for the hat! Oh now, I think it's time for a cuppa!

Just wanted to share a technique I have been exploring using Genesis creations 'Liquid Radiance' Dyes.

This wonderful dye was introduced to me on our trip into Qld a year or so ago. We camped next to a young family and Fiona was a consultant and teacher using the dye/ink. We had lots of fun dying cloth in a variety of ways. It is very much like the tie dying fashion of years ago but the lovely thing about this dye is it can be set using an iron.



It is an acrylic based product and you only have to use a tiny bit in water to get the most vivid colours. You can use a squeeze bottle to place your dye or spray in onto wet fabric. The dye then bleeds togther to make the most fabulous colours.



Anyway I have experimented using it in a variety of ways on fabric but last night it came out in my scrapbooking. I wet a piece of Bazzill cardstock and let go with three of the blended inks to create a backdrop of a page about our visit to the Toy Factory and big rocking horse at Gumeracha in Adelaide.

After leaving it over night to dry I then did some stamping and added papers, photos and embellishments. I love the effect of the mottled paper.

Cheers,
Angela
