Altered Clothes!

Jazzy and I have been having a lot of fun putting our creative touch on some clothing. Jazz loves bright neon colours so we decided to give a top and some denim shorts the "splat" treatment! The results are below. It was lots of fun to  create and has got us thinking of other possibilities!

Chilli Crab!

Last weekend Brad went off on a fishing trip with somme mates at Bynoe harbour  and  while they weren't lucky enough to catch any fish he did bring home an impressive stash of  fresh mud crab. So on the menu for Monday night was chilli crab and Nasi Goreng made by Brad. Yum! It was  absolutely delicious. One of the really cool things about living here!

Layout Share

I said that I would share some of my layouts that I have created over the past 12 months so here they are.

 

 I love thhis photo and have had it for ages and always struggled to scrap it because of the colours in the photos. I must have been overthinking it because it came together really nicely.

I made the  coloured flowers out of dry embossed vellum circles layered and curled and the black glitter one was made with Jac paper and cut with the big shot and glitter stuck to it. I love how it turned out. I drew flourishes with a glue pen and then poured glitter  over the top. I also added some bling flourishes to finish it off.

I wanted this gorgeous selfie that my husband took of himself with our son when he was a baby to be the feature of the layout and i think it worked. There is hidden journaling behinid the title.

I had heaps of fun putting this together. The background is squares of cardstock stamped with a birthday definitions stamp and coloured with dimensional pearls paint so it is shimmery in real life. I then stitched the squares with the sewing machine.

 

This is the open up part of the disco page, I had a lot of photos that I wanted to add so rather than a double I decided to make a lift up flap with photos of the details of the party set up hidden. I love how it still works as a layout in it's own right but became a lout with 10 photos on it and some journaling and the invitation on it.  I figure that I could make a second page with all the photos of her friends at the party to compliment it.

 

The photo that inspired this layout was taken at the same place that our wedding photos were taken. We stayed at the hotel that we had our wedding reception at for our tenth wedding anniversary and thought it would be cool to take a photo of us 10 years on. It was pretty special. I really enjoyed creating the oversized patchwork heart and the little letters were perfect for the journaling around the heart.

 

thanks for looking.
