LETS GET SKETCHY MAGAZINE SUBMISSIONS - SPECIAL CHRISTMAS EDITION

Lets Get Sketchy have got a Christmas Edition of the online magazine.

I created a couple of holiday layouts from our holiday way back in 2008 when we did a 5 week caravan holiday from Tasmania to Queensland.


This photo is of my son at Currumbin Wildlife Park.  We visited zoo's and wildlife parks on our journey as Sam had at the time a strong desire to become a vet.  His love for animals continues, but now at 18 he has changed his mind!!!!

Here are some close ups - I have listed the products below the close ups




Papers - Bo Bunny 
Petaloo Flowers
Fussy cut butterflies from Kaisercraft Paper
Chipboard – Dusty Attic
Kaisercraft Project Life Cards
Cotton
Kaisercraft and Scrap FX Stamps

The second holiday layout I created is from the last day of our holiday when we were about to board the boat back to Tasmania.  Bucketing with rain, gail force winds, we drive around the last corner to the boat and the wheel fell off the van breaking the bolts.  We had one hour to spare, and at that time I was very pleased my husband is a mechanic and managed to do a make shift repair so we made the boat!



and again some close ups:


The chipboard clocks and cogs have been painted with Inklingz Paints and then Dusty Attic Rusting Powder applied.  (loving this new product I got!)


The stencil is from Crafters Workshop and I have used a crackling texture paste.

I have used Aida Demisiewicz paper from the Tender Morning Collection.  I created the background using  Glimmermist - Pop Rocks and Lindy Stamp Gang Spray - Bougainvillia Fushsia.  I then covered it all with white gesso focusing it in the middle of the page.
I used two stencils - TCW brick stencil and Memory Box rings and puddles.

The chipboard hearts were painted with Lindy Stamp Gang Magicals - Witches Potion Purple and I then applied dimensional magic and glitter.

The Chipboard title was inked in black and coated with Dimensional Magic.

The stamps I used are from Gabrielle Pollacco and Tim Holtz

I have randomly applied the purple glitter to the flowers and around the layout.

Second DT Reveal at Scrapbookit

Hi there, Lynn here back again with a second layout for the month over at Scrapbookit. Again I have used the Ruby Rock-it papers from the Carnival King collection.  Last  year in Tasmania the original steam carousel came to town and it was an awesome site.  They had restored it back to original condition.



I cut the cards from the paper collection to create the background, applied gesso and then Heidi Swapp Colour Shine and Tim Holtz paints.  I fussy cut pieces to lay behind the photo and to create the title.

Here are some close ups:






There is still time to have a go at this months challenge before Christmas.

In the meantime, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all, and I hope that you have an enjoyable and safe Christmas :)
