Something different for me. I've used your sketch (the circle has been done with paint (if you look closely lol). I've also added all the criteria there - I hand-drew butterflies and cut them out (massive ones lol), hand-stitched my own trim flower and my S2S chippie is the celtic heart which was actually painted on the front but I decided I liked the crappy underside with the random over-paint on it LMAO.

Scallops and Hearts

Hi, this is Colleen here today with my first post for Stuff 2 Scrap, I am so excited to be sharing my first layout with you.

I used the gorgeous border 'Leeann's Scallop Border - Mini' and I love the way it adds such an interesting pattern to my layout. I covered it with some patterned paper and filed the edges slightly to finish it off neatly.



And a close up of my heart, I have used 'Chipboard Hearts #001'. In my opinion you can never have too many chipboard hearts in your stash, they make a great embellishment on any project!!



I hope you all have a crafty weekend and don't forget there is still a couple days left to get your entries in for this months challenge!!



Some Gorgeous Creations !!!!

Hello Wonderful People

I cant believe its already Friday ..... Only a few more days to get your entries in for the August Challenge, so if you are playing along please get your entries in ......

I also have a couple of things to share with you from the S2S Creative Team .....

Here is a recent layout from the very talented Rachael Funnell....


Here Rachael used the chipboard word 'beach' , added some glue and then used the kids sandpit to add the texture - How great does that look ................



Rachael also made a card using the S2S Chipboard bird ............



And now for the Gorgeous Creations of Chantal



Here Chantal has used both the small flame from Leeann Pearce and the Star Journal Block by Ann Lederhose.......




Well I hope you all have an absolutely fantastic weekend......

Until next time

I CAN do it!!!

Heya there you AWESOMELY FAB bloggy readers!!

I have a quick share for you today....

I had heaps of fun using Ann's Frame It - Large 
I painted it with gesso, then went over it with black paint then used my trusty nail file to rough it up and stress it out! It's so perfect to layer over!!


Here's what I came up with....



Close-up....Love my layers : )



Thanks for having a gander!!

Love and Peace xox

Something to share!

Hi everybody!

This is my first blog post for Stuff 2 Scrap and I am a little nervous LOL
I don't know about you, but I am so over winter! Being a Qld girl,
for the past 21years, I love the heat and am looking forward to it coming back.
So to make myself feel a little better I pulled out some summer photos from last year
and scrapped a photo of my husband and myself at the beach.


I have used the gorgeous Heart balloon with arrow for this project.
I actually have a sneaky secret to share with you of how I got this finish,
and at a rather cheap cost too! I have used some metallic 3D fabric paint.
With the pink I have swirled it around to get a bit of texture to it, I love a bit 
of texture to my chippie, but you could also paint it on smooth.

I have also used grey for the arrow through the heart.
I love chipboard there are so many things you 
can do with it, always able to have something fresh and different 
to your projects. I hope you'll give this a try one day soon!
Anyways I hope you all have a wonderful week 
and until next time....
have lots of chippie fun!

Sunday Sweets anyone???

Hello and happy Sunday!
Anita here again. 
Thought I would share some Sunday Sweetness and show you how I made this ice-cream cone that looks good enough to eat!

I used 'Choc Ice' by Ann Lederhose - I just love this chippy set! - This is what you get in the pack (plus a smaller one which is not pictured) They actually come apart - or you can leave them together if that suits you better..... I took mine apart so I could add lots of dimension!

I coloured everything except the 'ice cream top' with this glimmer mist which is the perfect cone colour!

Now time for the ice cream! I used a sticky ink (perfect medium or versamark) and ultra thick embossing powder (you can use normal embossing powder - you may just need more coats)..



When the first coat is melted and still hot (be careful), I dip it straight back into a pile of the powder to build up the thickness (I ended up with 3 coats on mine)...

Then while the embossing powder was hot and melted, I sprinkled in some little beads!  After I had the beads where I wanted them, I used the heat tool to re-melt again just to make sure those little beads don't go anywhere!

I then stuck it all together and added a cute little ribbon and ta da - looks good enough to eat don't you think!?

Thanks for hanging out with me this week!
Make sure you have a go at the challenge - lots of fun with colour and chippies!
Enjoy your Sweet Sunday!
