Mosaic Mirrors



I Made these mirros yesterday.... the large flower (which stands almost a meter tall) was donated to the school for a fund raising auction and I made the two smaller ones simply because I could not help myself!!
When I asked my elderly father what he thought of the large flower mirror he graciously pointed out that if I droped and broke it, at least it would still look normal!!

LET"S SWAP!

Recently I participated in a
'Scrapbook
Trading
Layout'
(STL) with a lovely lady named Sherry Mendoza.






She also has her own blog that is well worth taking a look at: http://scrapbooktradingplace.blogspot.com/
Anyway, we both sent each other a photo via e-mail and then scrapbooked it onto an actual page and then sent them back to the original owner via snail mail.... and this is the result.... Above you can see the layout I did for Sherry and below is the layout that she did for me. Heaps of FUN!

BENTLEY ART PRIZE


Recently I entered this lay out in the Bentley Art Prize and managed to recieve a Highly Commended award, it's a very busy page where I mostly used stamping and opals embossed on chipboard. The flower made from paisley swirls was an idea I scraplifted off a card that Tanya (from scrap n craft with T) had made ages ago. Bright paper and lots of white flourish rubons help to make this layout quite loud and happy .... much like the subjects themselves in the photos!!

BABY FACE



This was a pretty simple Layout that I did for our recent 'Big Day In' where we all got together and scrapbooked all day for hours on end! Thanks to the buttons, lace and pastle tones of the papers it is a very soft layout (although this photo is a bit on the weak side!). I designed it to be simple and easy to replocate. The kits to make this whole page (with heaps of papers left over) worked out at only $7.45each!

ANOTHER WINNER....

I made this hanging keepsake for a friends little boy for his second birthday .... If you have ever had a little one in day care or preschool you will know they bring home an inordinate amount of 'artwork'! It's customary in our home to display this for at least a week before it mysteriously disapears (into the bin!). Sometime if its a really special work of art, it will stay on display for ages ... having somewhere to display it is the real challenge. Hence the dog clips on this BTP project. This was originally a floral hanging keepsake, that Kaiser make, it has 3 MDF flowers hanging from the bottom, so really I just replaced them with the clips.
It won a place in the June Beyond The Page competition that Kaisercraft ran on the forum. This was a real buzz.
It's made using all Kaisercraft products - the lettering, the rubons, the papers and even the painted little wooden puppy and cat!
