Dude - Feb Colour Blast Kit

Hey there, my second layout from the February Colour Blast kit is "Hey Dude".

The Colour Blast Spray in Saffron made a gorgeous pop of colour in the background and as a base for all my stencilling.

I stamped on some ancient white letter stickers to add some interest to my title.

I fussy cut some chevrons to point in towards my cute pic of my boy Matt.

Feb Colourblast Kit - Remember the Good Times

I have finally got some pics to share of my take on the February Colour Blast Creative Kit.

The first creative kit contained some gorgeous 7 Dots Studio papers and Colour Blast paste in Just Blue and Colour Spray in Saffron.

My first layout was "Remember the Good Times".

I have used the stamp sets an stencil that were included in the kit too. They will be staples in my collection - especially the stitched circle stamp.

The paste looks amazing through the stencil.

Super Awesome Funky Flair Studio

Hi Scrappy friends, I am representing Funky Flair Studio today.

I chose to use the awesome Grungy Icons set

I created a background with Colour Blast paste and some Shimmer spray. The papers and other embellishments I have used are from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio You Rock collection.

The flair were perfect for a an extreme boyish page.

Love these photos of my little guy being the daredevil he is on the water with a family friend.

What have you been creating with your flair? I would love to see.

#Happiness - A rainbow of Colorblast goodies

Hi there Scrappy friends,

Colourblast Australia has a fun challenge again this month to use a rainbow of colour.

Here is my layout created with Colourblast pastes and my favourite Finnabair circle stencil.

Amongst my layers I added in this cute black glitter heart from Charms Creations.

I have added some stamping around the edge of my layout and then mounted it on black cardstock (circle stamp from Studio Calico, grid from Kaisercraft).

The cute star flair is from Funky Flair Studio. The labels and tags came from a cute diecut package from Fancy Pants Joy Parade. The tags and labels pack is jam packed full of goodness.

This challenge was a lot of fun. Are you playing along this month?

Wild Boy - Colour Blast Jan 2018 Challenge

Hi there,

This month's challenge in the Colour Blast Creative Corner group on Facebook is to use Colour Blast products on a black cardstock background using the following sketch.

I loved this sketch - so fun and versatile.

I started with the required black cardstock background and stencilled some Colour Blast paste in Steel using a Dylusions Stencil. Once that dried my next step was to try and bring in some more colour so I added some smudges and fingertip circles of "Just Blue" paste together with a teeny circle stencil. Lastly I added some smudges of Tangareen Dream. I love how vibrant the colours are on black cardstock.

Once my background was dry it was time for my paper layers and embellishing. I started with the Cocoa Vanilla You Rock collection.

I built up my main photo layers with a negative frame and some black punchinella .

Then it was time to embellish with plenty of the wood veneer from the You Rock collection plus some stickers and chipboard.

My title uses a funky wood veneer alphabet from Thickers combined with a chipboard sticker.

I felt like the layout needing some framing so I added a line around the edge with a Posca Paint Pen and some splatters of white mist and taa daa finished.

Thanks for checking out my layout today.

Will you be playing along with the challenge?

Also, did you know Colour Blast have started a subscription kit? The first kit ships in February and I am so excited to start building my Colour Blast collection. At the moment all I have are the Colour Pastes (which I adore and have nearly emptied) and one lonely Colour Spray, so the kits are going to be brilliant for me.

Hope you get some creative time over the weekend.

Rediscover your Stash - Spending Freeze Round 3

Some of my favourite You Tubers, Khristina Sorge and Sara Scraps, have an awesome month long challenge going; the gist of the challenge is to be using your stash and having fun along the way.

They have some awesome challenges happening all month in the Facebook Event they have set up.

The first challenge was this super cute sketch:

As soon as I saw it I knew it would be perfect for some of the Cocoa Vanilla You Rock paper scraps I had left on my desk after completing some DT projects for Scrapping Clearly (spoiler alert I am working with You Rock in January - happy dance).

This was a fun layout to create, although I have to admit sewing those straight lines between where the paper squares are was a challenge. I am much happier sewing squiggly lines.

I added some black splatters with a stamp from Darkroom Door and then sprinkled some mists (Colour Blast "Sunset", Studio Calico Mr Huey in Sherbert and Heidi Swapp Colour Shine in Navy)

All the embellishments are from the Cocoa Vanilla You Rock range as well: the Accessory Sticker Sheet, Chipboard Stickers, Wood Veneer, Rubber Tags and Diecuts.

So what are your scrappy goals this year?

I have a couple but the main one is to use more than I buy this year.

Thanks for stopping by.

Happy creating.
