My Best Friend Today!

 Inbetween scrapbooking and a little cleaning this was my home for the day, just like a giant bath tub, the dog even wanted to join me and he hates water, think it got up in the high 30's sure it was 40 at one stage. Just got an idea for a cool Pool layout,  Back soon.................

Friendship 2

 Might be time to update the camera!This photo does not do this layout justice, guess I just don't cut it as a photographer lol, I'm a click and print person, what you see is what you get lol, sorry guys.
This is a pic of One of my besties Lou Lou, I'm at her birthday party presenting her with my very first friendship shoe since she is a shoe aholic. I used prima flowers, lace, washi tape, chipboard letters that I painted then after the photo decided to dimensional magic it, I also used martha stewart punches and Bo Bunny papers, now I'll add a few more pics hopefully better then this one hehehe.............

Imagine

This is a Layout I did late last year and finally finished it, The photo is of me and Christi Friesen from Calafornia, The best Polymer Clay artist and with the best imagination and one of my best inspirations, I will follow you everywhere Christi ,the heart I place on my page is made from polymer Clay a product I use a lot to sculpt with mainly, I can't wait for your next visit to Aus Christi.

A Froggy Christmas

I did this layout just before christmas and put a pic of my little green frog friend that sits in my backyard on the fence every night.  I have used a variety of christmas papers, a little bit of patch work, and cutting. The flowers I embossed to give them a bit more depth and shape.
I also decided to place my mat pieces I cut to mat my photos on a slight angle just to be a little different.
ooops I forgot to journal, will do that now........
I'm on a roll here, be back by the end of the week with another layout to share and I have a few of the page ideas to.
My classes for scrapbooking should be up on the photo continental website by tommorow to.
Goodnight all ,need my sleep for another full day of scrapbooking K

Happy New Year

Happy New Year Everyone, 2012 was such a hectic year for me, and very hard to keep up with my art, but I'm back and organised and have time for myself for a change and I plan on creating a lot in 2013.
My new years resolution is to keep my blog updated and try to put my weekly scrap pages I teach at Photo Continental (where you will find the majority of the products I use on there) www.photocontinetal.com.au
To start the new year of, this page was done using martha Stewart punches, Darkroom Door stamps, embossing powders, tim Holtz distress inks, hand stiching and tissue paper, the main design paper is a Kaiser paper from the christmas range + my favourite dimensional magic. I'm teaching this class in Feb in store if you would like to book in.
Well thats it for now, and as I have a day of I think I might head back to the pool Cheers to the new year Karen xo
