It's completely up to you...

Hi everyone!!

I am back to share a layout created using the latest cupcake kit!

I know I say it all the time but this kit is my favourite!!!!

I LOVE all the papers in it, the mask is my all time favourite and

the Lindy's Stamp gang mist is totally AWESOME!!

This is my first layout to share! 

As always stitching and a mixed media type background onto

white cardstock. 

I used the Dina Wakely mask with grey 

Faber Castell gelatos as a feature on my background.

I then used the "NOTED" tag as the main feature

to highlight and frame my photo.

I have cut strips from the papers as well as small words

and used stickers from the sticker sheet to embellish 

my layout. 

And I LOVE the cherry fair!!!!!

I will be back again next week with another creation

to share! Thanks , Eb xx

Hello Everyone,

Hope Monday has been kind to you, with happy kids, great days at work and some sunshine.

Today I am sharing the final layout from my May Kit.

I tend to like creating something out of the mish mash of papers and embellishments that I have used on other projects. Parts of patterned papers that have already been cut into, picking pretty sequins up off my craft mat and scattering them about.  I just love using everything provided.

That's exactly how this layout came about.   Just layers of what was left.

It turned out to be a fun, not at all serious design and it matches the photo's perfectly.

So now that kit is all but done it's time to crack open the NEW JUNE kit.  Have you seen it???

Happy Sunday peeps!

Today I am sharing another page I created using the May Main kit!

Love this kit - so very versatile and easy to use!

 

I used the transparency on the black cardstock - looks great! Love the way the words just pop out of the page!

 

The chipboard shapes and words from the Pink Paislee pack made great clusters!

 

I finished the page off with a couple of enamel dots from my stash and some super cute Cherry Flair!

 

Thanks for stopping by

Mid Week Inspiration - Friends of APOCD

Hey everyone,

Today I thought I would blog and share some gorgeous creations I have seen around the web using APOCD goodies.

The first is a lovely layout from our March Guest Designer Lisa Oxley. Lisa created this one using the March Main kit. You can see more of Lisa's gorgeous work on her blog here

The second is a layout from my friend Michelle. Michelle is a big help to me at APOCD and supports me without fail to pack your scrumptious kits. She also is an avid project lifer but of late has rekindled her love of traditional scrapping. She created this layout using our March Cupcake kit. You can see more of her gorgeous work on here blog here

Michelle also created 2 cool layouts using the April Cupcake kit, which had a lot of Heidi in it and also some gouache and a sumo brush :)

And this one using one of my favourite kits, the May Main kit.

Another friend of APOCD is the super talented Charmane Koch. She has her own online store Charms Creations, where she sells handmade felt/doily embellishments. She created this page for the April white with one challenge, but also used some *bits* from March Cupcake Kit - heart stencil, chipboard stars, paper plane flair & sequins.

Kristie-Anne, is a long time subscriber and supporter of APOCD. It is so nice to see Kristie sharing her creations on our Facebook page with us. Thanks so much for sharing Kristie! She created this layout with the March kit and using inspiration from Mercy Tiara's scrapping videos on you tube. 

Our next layout is from another subber to APOCD and a super scrapper, Rikki Graziani. I do not know how this lady keeps up with all her awesome commitments and retains such a high standard of scrapping. This one was created for a Scrapbooking top 50 cyber challenge, where the challenge was to scrapbook a celebrity scrapper. In this case the celebrity scrapper was me, lol, I do by no means consider myself a celebrity but it was flattering to be asked nonetheless :) She has used the February Main kit. You can see her blog here.

Our last share for today is a Project Life style share from Manda Moore. Manda has recently taken a love to creating Scrapbooking Process videos and has her own You Tube channel which she updates regularly. She used bits and pieces from the March Cupcake kit to create this bright and fun layout. She even made a process video using it.

I hope you have enjoyed this post today, for something fun and different and jam packed with inspiration!

Incase you were thinking about it we only have one left of both the June Main Kit and Cupcake kit available in our store. So head there now if you do not want to miss out.

 Happy Sunday Peeps ...

Today I have created a page using the May Main kit.

 

 

I love this paper and knew straight away that I had to use it as a full piece.


This photo is of me and my 'big sister' who I had a chance to catch up with during my chemo - Sharon and I grew up together and like the title says .. she's just like family to me.

Rather than adding another paper to the layout, I used gesso to create a square background element, added some stitching and worked from there.



There are a couple of pieces of subtle transparency in there as well as the cool frames from the sticker set in the kit

 Did you take advantage of the Stocktake Sale this week? Pick up some bargains?

Designer Inspiration - Gina Rodgers - Celebrate..

Happy Friday everyone! I'm back with another layout using the May Cupcake kit, which is still available and currently 50% off!.. I've scrapped this page of my eldest daughter who recently turned 18 (yep..still coming to terms with having another adult in the house!) I've tried to make this page bright and fun, in keeping with the celebration theme and replicated some of the colours from the 6x6 papers in the background, which is a mixture of painted and splattered mists and gelatos..

the cute "cheers"wood veneer is from the "Happy New Year 2014" set and cherry flair from the "You're Just My Type" set.. I've also used a couple of buttons from my stash and the green alpha stickers are left over from the March Cupcake kit.. 

the heart veneer is part of the Insta-Lovin' set..

Bye for now,
Gina x
