We Create Celebrations Blog Hop




Hello to you all, Thank you for joining us again for another Blog Hop
This month the theme is
Celebrations includes Birthdays, 4th of July, Red White & Blue, Weddings, Babies, Parties, etc.
You may have just joined me or you hopped on from Kris's blog,
I know that Kris will have created a beautiful project with Serene Garden

I have something very special to share with you all <3
Sooo I have a friend having Twin Boys within a week or so...
I had to create something for them, so Babies it is!!!
 
I decided to create a Shhh babies sleeping sign on a canvas.
I knew straight away that I would use Twinkle Twinkle Suite on pg 82
in the new Annual catalogue...The DSP is so stunning <3
In the month of July you can buy 3 packs of DSP and receive one FREE
I also had to have the Little Twinkle Stamp Set and
 
Twinkle Builder Punch.

I brought the Canvas from our cheap shop, so I think it cost me $2.
Spread Mog Podge liberally over the whole surface even the sides
so that I could stick down the paper
to the canvas so that it won't lift way from the surface
like it does if you are only using tape in various parts.

I cut the paper larger than the canvas
and stuck it to the Mod Podge smoothing out any bumps.
Then cut the corner of the paper and folded them underneath.

Then I used a retired mask with Stars all over it.
Next I used Shimmer
y White Embossing Paste 
and Night of Navy Classic Stampin' Ink Refillmixed it together on the Silicon Craft Sheet, used a palette knife to 
add some stars randomly over the page.


 
 

I used the Twinkle Builder Punch to cut 2 moons out and
I stuck them together with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
then I added some paste to it...Had to wait for it to dry then.

Next I stamped out
SHHH with Letter for You Stamp Set

then cut out the letters with the Large Letters Framelits
on one of the beautiful DSP's from Twinkle Twinkle.
I used Mini Stampin' Deminsionals to stick these down.


Then I cut another Mint coloured DSP from Twinkle Twinkle
for an embossed photo mat with the Tufted Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.
I sprayed it lightly with a light spray of water to soften the fibres
and ran it through the Big Shot...Ohh it is so pretty...Don't you agree?



Next I used the Lined Alphabet Stamp Set to stamp
SLEEPING onto Stars DSP from Twinkle Twinkle.
Then I hand cut out this word and stuck it to the bottom of the canvas
with our Multipurpose Liquid Glue


I stamped the word Brother from Thoughtful Banners Stamp Set, then used the S
from So Much to make the word 'Brothers' added it beneath Sleeping word.

Lastly I added Love you more than all the stars and added
it to the corner of the photo mat...leaving the corner unstuck so that
I can add a photo of the Twins when they are born soon!!!
Then I will give it to their parents as a Baby present...



Up next is Tricia Butts, she will have something pretty amazing
to share with you using Broadway Birthday set.

Scrapbooking Global June 2018 Blog Hop




Scrapbooking Global - Stampin' Up was created by myself and
a group of Demonstrators on 13th Jan 2017.
We recognised a need for an exclusive group for Scrapbookers and
Memory Keepers who used Stampin' Up! products.
This group now has 3,300 plus members.

Just recently a call was put out on Facebook for a Creative Design Team
to introduce regular Challenges and Blog Hops for members
and the wider Facebook community on a monthly basis.
I am very excited to announce the Creative Design Team <3
  Delys Cram - New Zealand,  Courtenay Heuston - Australia,  Sara Levin - USA, 
Danielle Bennenk - The Netherlands,  
Stesha Bloodhart - USA,

and myself Sharon Dalton - Australia


Welcome to the inaugural Scrapbooking Global Design Team Blog Hop.
You may have just joined me from Sara levin's blog.
Sara would have created something truly AMAZING I am sure <3

So today we are showcasing the Stampin' Up! Colour Revamp
with a mixture of black and white....in our own unique styles.
The best thing about the colour revamp is that we have so many beautiful colours
to choose from in Stampin' Up! colour palette.
I do like to keep photos the emphasis of my scrapbooking style.
 


I chose to use the BRAND NEW InColors that will be here for the next 2 years.
Such a pretty colour palette - Lovely Lipstick, Blueberry Bushel, Call Me Clover,
Grapefruit Grove and Pineapple Punch.



I water coloured my background with the inks using an Aqua painter.
More or less water with the ink created the variance in colour.
Try to saturate your background cardstock with too much moisture as it buckles


Then I added a variety of random stamps with black ink over different parts of the layout.
In the circular stamped area, I used a straw to add colour using re-inkers.
Then I added the same colour stamped image on the water coloured sections.



I kept stamping until I was happy with the background.
Then I grabbed some more ink on my aqua painter and tapped the edge of it
and flicked ink all over my background with all 5 colours.
I didn't want the photos to fade into the background so I framed them with more stamping.

Next I cut my title out with the new Layering Alphabet Edgelits with the same 5 InColors..
BUT that looked terrible!!!  Too big!!! Just wrong!!!




So I continued with the watercolour theme of this layout.
Stamped OnStage down the bottom and water coloured it carefully.
Lastly I added the words to my background...
Friends, Fun & Fabulous
These ladies are fellow demonstrators who have I met
through Stampin' Up! events,
I had the best time with these
girls, we had so much fun together in Sydney.
 I have been memory keeping since I was a child,
cutting out pictures from magazines covering my school books.
BUT in 2002 I was introduced to Scrapbooking and I was hooked immediately...
I loved the idea of creating beautiful pages of our family
and friends to relive the memories.
Scrapbooking has became an OBSESSION for me!!!
Thank you for hopping along with us, looking forward to you becoming obsessed too!


Up next is the very talented Stesha Bloodhart with her Colour Revamp Layout.
I am wondering if Stesha has done any fussy cutting on her layout as I know she loves to fussy cut around DSP.
