Whispers of the Sea - BITW & Funtoolas Giveaway

Hi there everyone, I have been so busy here with school holidays lately but I decided to play at at 
"Bird is the Word" 
the challenge word for this  month is WHISPER .

I am going to try to do more challenges from BITW this year, well thats the plan anyway!!
  

All you have to do is use the new word in the title of your layout

also they have a sketch for inspiration

 but you don't have to use it.

I have used the sketch from FUNTOOLAS instead

so here is my layout

"Whispers of the Sea" 

"I have found that if you love life, LIFE will love you right back", 

This is the quote on the bottom of my layout. The papers I have used are from Kasiercraft. 

The cloud ( painted gesso and added white glitter and word alphas-'Sea' are chipboards from 

Imaginarium Designs.

I dabbed paint splashes around the page,(I am lovely this cool blue paint and colour - at the moment) I placed washi tape in background under the photographs, and I cut out diecuts of leaves from patterned Acetate from Kaisercraft. This is another fabulous way to use acetate, this week on the Kaisercraft blog, my Tuesday tip this week is about 

"Using acetate in your projects"

Hi everyone

School holidays are here, Hooray!!!!!!!!    very busy week indeed for some and for me. Finishing off lots of assignments and trying to do some Christmas baking, Christmas shopping and trying not to stress!!! So I threw my self into my scraproom to relax and created this page for "Bird is the Word" challenge site. Check out this wonderful site HERE. The word is BREATHE , it is not the latest word challenge but time got the better of me and before you know it, I have only 22 hours left to load my page......... I surprised myself how quickly this page came together.

Here is my page, "Relax, Breathe, Rejuvenate"

The photos of our family trip 

to the Gold Coast, walking along the beach. 

The papers I have used are the 

Kasiercraft, "Tropicana" 

Paper collection, which is available now at all your favourite scrapbooking stores.

I used the sketch that was provided

on the challenge site.

Thanks for looking, and thankyou for all your comments, Have a good week

Autumn Baby

Hi everyone 

Here is Australia we are heading into Summer, one of my favourite times of the year, the second season of the year for me that I love is Autumn. I love the colours of the landscape and gardens when everything is brown, orange and rustic tones. So here I am sharing a layout with you all of my 
"Autumn Baby." 

It a a photo of my Darling Daughter as a baby.
Using the wonderful chipboards from 

Imaginarium Designs. Check out the website  HERE 

I created all the leaves from various browns and rustic coloured papers from Graphic 45 with diecuts, then I inked and painted most of the chipboards the same tones as the leaves and applied glossy accents on top of some of the chipboards. 
You can check out all the details on the 
Imaginarium Designs blog HERE

I have also entered this layout in 

"Bird is the word" challenge 

check out all the details

Thanks for looking.     Cheers Adriana XXX

BITW CHANGE

"I love you not only for

what you are, but for what

I am when I am with you"

Over at "Bird is the Word" 

HERE   http://birdisthewordchallenge.blogspot.com/ 

the new word challenge

is CHANGE.

use this word in the title of your layout

also they have a sketch for inspiration

but you don't have to use it.

"Don't CHANGE a thing." layout I created with this word.

"Don't change a thing"

I created this layout using the wonderful collection of

Kaisercraft papers called "The Lake House"

these are so pretty and gorgeous, 

with flowers, vines in dusty pinks & greens

with a hint of dark brown 

just my cup of tea in papers.

Using the sketch for inspiration, instead of using a lamp-post

I decided to make a "Tree of Life", well that's what I call it.

I think I will have to use this tree of life again sometime.

It is a tree with leaves and little blue birds with inspiration words 

LOVE,  CHERISH,  MOMENTS and LIVE scattered in the

branches. 

BITW word is CHANGE and sketch.

Materials used Kasiercraft papers Getway P8868

Country P873, Spa P866, Retreat P871

Kaisercraft flowers, 

Green Tara flowers, diamonte & crystal butterflies.
