"reindeer designed by storm pearce".......

My sweet DD storm designed these special reindeer's for her teachers... she drew on some foam and i cut them out... and we embellished them together... added in some hand stitching and fun doodling as that's what she loves to do herself... now all i want to do is get a cookie cutter made using storm's design... i think it's real sweet... so if you can help me find someone who makes them... give me a shout...

toootallly cute my beautiful girl.......................................... the teachers will luv 'em.............mwah xx

and take another look over here because the scrapping clearly has something new to look at...... OH SO YUMMY.......me want them.....

hmmmm what should i call this post......

...printable "doodle alphas"

.
.. OK so i was busy doodling over the weekend and decide that some alphas would be fun.... so here are mine that you can "save as" or "save image as" and print out..... just make your own adjustments.... you can cut them out and use them on the next sketch that's up... if you need more letters have ago yourself or simply print out a few times... a little tip once they are printed out go over them with a black gel pen so that they are bold!!!


"sketch # 2"

... and a sketch for you to work with over Christmas or in the new year sometime.... totally up to you how you want to take it on!!!!.... but i would love to see the doodle alphas on it!


"about a girl"

... I have also been scrapping a little clearly.... using lots of great products that are available in the Scrapping Clearly shop.....Bling, Fozz Felt and Hambly Printed Screens go check it out....


Scrapping clearly "tree album"
..."2009 Kalgoorlie"...


this tree album has no photos yet ... it's kind of special as we celebrate our last Christmas in the goldfields as we are moving next year to Capel....I will miss this place and all the friends i have made....it's really sad as this has been my home since coming from New Zealand ... meeting my DH and having three beautiful girls here...
... anyway this album was easy and fun to scrap ... i used thin foam strips on the front, use a Heidi Swapp spottie mask on all the other pages with some ooh lah lah spottie paper and made spottie buttons to match... and added one of my acrylic birdcages on the front with a key and assorted ribbon.....

the scrapped doodles.....

EDIT to add: Ok..... I'm excited to say that this Layout was spotted over at 2 peas and is now going to be published in a E-magazine......COOL..... that will be my first...YAY.... will let you know when it hits the screens!!!!




this layout is also my take on Lucy's challenge over at AMM... she wanted us to fine something in the home to use as a mask and get misting... so I used storm's plastic horse.... plus here are my "up up and away" doodles...... really love how this turned out...


"my little bit of whimsy"
...birdy on a pin... you have to check out her stuff...totally cute as...


"xmas shoot"



There's lots going on with this layout.... i cut out to paper frames and layer them using 3D tape and slipped some of the doodles under the frame.... swiped paint across the background and then used my heidi swapp spottie mask....which you will be seeing lots of....handmade CB buttons and a felt tree.....and a touch of bling...


"hi ho hi ho"....

Check out what stacey young did with my "printable fruit doodles" and sketch.... if anyone is going to make it pop with color this is the girl................ love her stuff!!!!

thanks for popping by...and i would love to see your take on the doodles and sketch.... just scroll down for them...

How to.... "denim buttons"


"denim buttons"

1... draw and cut cloud/circle shape from scrap denim
2... stamp cloud shape with paint and bubble wrap... allow to dry
3... use a croc-a-dile and hole punch holes and then set with eyelets
4... thread wool thru / knot and finish by fraying the edges... mount using 3D tape

for the demin circle buttons...same instructions but instead of stamping a design...use embroidery thread and add stitches
...
"comic book paper flowers" - any sort of book will do - even scraps of pattern paper just layer the sheets together so you punch just the once of each size... no mucking about that way!

1... 3 different size circle punches
2... hold 5 pages together and punch
3... now layer the 3 sizes on top of each other
4... use your croc-a-dile punch hole, add a brad
5... use scissors to fringe it... now have fun and scrap them


coming soon are my scrapjack layouts and a couple of layouts using my printables doodles......

Thanks.... Miss wally

Edit to add: this talented lady "Lucy" has a great tip too... she suggested to apply a gel medium to help stiffen the denim... love it thanks heaps....
