Christmas Mixed Media Layout (5 of 5) - boy

Dear Bloggers,

Here is the 5th in my 'Mixed Media Christmas' series, this time using reds, browns and pale aqua blue. 

The big burlap leaves by Green Tara create an earthy texture complimented by the rough twine bows behind the flowers.  The gorgeous flowers are by 'Green Tara' and '49 and Market' and the blue butterfly is a little' Prima gem' that has been sitting in my stash for a long time just waiting for its moment to take flight.  Those beautiful 'Scrapmatts reindeers' watch over the page and Tim Holtz's  'Holiday Postmarks' stamps add a playfulness.  Lastly the frames  by Kaisercraft , like the butterfly, have finally emerged from my stash and I love them. (Don't know why I did not use them earlier...ah the story of so many scrapbook supplies.

Sorry this post is out of order. Oh woops - I just realised one of my reindeer has a broken antler.😔  I also need to learn to sew straight...lucky this is mixed media, not dress making...lol

Mixed Media Christmas Layout (1 of 5) - Boy

Hello Bloggers,

Well, my poor little blog has been sadly neglected for over a year...sorry blog.  It is not that I have not been creating but somehow the extra steps of photographing, editing and posting have been seriously absent. I have also created many digital layouts using Project-life but they contain so many personal stories and details, that I prefer not to post them.  

I am currently home - sick. coughing and spluttering.  Although my Covid-19 result is negative, nobody wants you near them when you are breathing germs and illness, especially during a Pandemic!!  So in my isolation, I have a cup of tea and my fingers on the keyboard ready to finally start blogging.  Here goes......

I created five Christmas mixed media layouts using a hodge podge of supplies.  They were messy and fun to make...hope that you like them. I will do a separate post for each one...that way it looks like I have been busier on my blog😉.

The chipboard is by Scrapmatts and 2 Crafty Chipbaord, the flowers by Green Tara and Prima,  Stamps by Tim Holtz - Holiday Postmarks and frames by Kaisercraft.

Thanks for looking.

Kaisercraft and Christmas

Dear Bloggers,
The Kaisercraft magazine had some lovely ideas for cards and layouts so I did a bit of scraplifting and some of my own creations.

Thanks for calling by
