I had no classes today so I took some time to scrap .This photo is of my oldest daughter Aimee and my grandson Eli, her nephew. Its such a nice photo of them both together and Eli adores his Aunty.
 

Yep have made a banner again but their so cute, I have  used Fiesta Flags die (Fancy That dies) Kaiser paper and ribbon flowers and crochet lace ribbon and cardstock.



 I have used my heat gun and melted the ribbon flowers I like they way they look when I do this .
I have used some hidden journaling again I put white cardstock on it for the photo so it shows up really well .I changed it to cream once I took this photo .



I got my inspiration for this page from a card which I do a lot . Here is the link http://pinterest.com/pin/278801033152970371/ Have a look and let me know what you think .

I have a bit of a boy thing happening at the moment LOL . For this page I have use Kaiser Old World paper range . It is only 80c a sheet Got to be happy with that . This photo of my son is not a great shot as he took it himself  but I really wanted to use it To remind me that everyones prespective is different because I do tend to forget this sometimes .
 
 
I really love the new little bunting charms that I got this week .I thought that they would be great for cards ,but dont they look good on a page too .

 
Iam always asked about putting flowers on a male page and I tell people I do  . Having said that you really need to look closely at your page and what type of  flowers will work . I have used block resin kaiser flowers here and the big bronze flower has a black gem in the centre . The large flower blends well with the gears I used . In the end it really comes down to wether you like it or not . There are no set rules , go ahead and try it if it doesnt work try something else.Sometimes Ill spend hours laying things on the page before I find what I like and I think works well on the page.

                                         
                                               I have used the same sketch from two posts ago .

"Your Most Favorite Jumper"
I have used Kaiser 13th Hour paper not my most favorite paper ranger (challenged by Ann the Boss at Kaiser to use this range for October ) the colours went well with the photos. I have a bit of a banner and ticket addicition at the moment . Love them . I have used lots of my charms on the overlaying banner .
 
 
The small clock inside the embelishment is a pull tab with hidden journalling .  I do a lot of hidden journalling because my pages end up in shops for all to see and I dont always want everyone to read what I write its for my son when Iam no longer here to remind him of this moment.
 


Everyone knows I love bling but adding it to boy pages isnt always easy ,But I think it works well on this page to add a bit of texture and sparkle . .

Two of the photos are mounted and two are flat as is the black clock and large bird at the top of first photo .

A new page I did today . These photos are of my youngest daughter and myself,taken about three years ago . I love the photos and this Kaiser paper . I have used some of the colectables to look like fussy cutting. I have used a heat gun to shink the ribbon flowers a bit and give more texture .










I love this cameo it added to the charm of the page .

I have used the same sketch as the last page posted to show how to easy it is to change a page from girl to boy. I am doing this for a class and am trying to get ladies to think about sketches as both male and female pages .



These are my twin grandsons and they certainly are double trouble but always double the fun .


Oops just relised the paper has fallen out of the bottle cap .


I just went to check the bottle cap and found the Page destroyer sitting on my pages . Not Happy Jan . Anyone want a cat?

I dont do cute pages very much but I thought this paper from Kaiser (Fine & Sunny) worked really well with the photos. I added my title after the photos . I titled it " Your Smile is like a Sunny Day " which I added to the clounds that are near the sun.

The photos are of my Granddaughter Dakota .


The cardstock looks a bit lumpy as I glimmer misted it, the sparkles arent showing up in photo. It has Kindy glitz all over the embellishments as well and demensional magic.


Wow I amazed my self a page with no charms on it .Mmm wonder if I can fix that. LOL

 A page I have done of my 13 year old grandson Maison . I asked him to smile for the photo and he replied Iam " Too Gangster to Smile " I nearly couldnt take the photo I was laughing so hard .




I have used Kaiser paper range" Old World" and ripped and inked the edges . This paper gave a grundgy appearance with out doing anything much else to the paper. I used the new Kaiser Timeless Collection ribbon on the banner . This new ribbon is cotton blend so you can spray it and ink it to change the colour . 


I have punched out stars with the spellbinders dies and layered them on top of each other ,then added a small punched out glitter star in the middle and around the edges .I added some feathers to soften the look a little because really Maison is a real sweet boy.!!!



I really love using jute twine . You can use it not only on grundgy pages but on romantic pages as well .It is a very versitile producted . I have added a lot of bronze charms just cause I love to use them and they look great LOL.



I have added a flattened  bottle cap with a photo inside attached to a paper clip . You can get paper clips in so many different colours they add intrest and demension to a page .


 One of my "Fans"  Kay gave me some off cut pieces of cardboard that they throw out at her workplace and asked me if I could use them . They are really neat . I peeled the first layer of paper off it then inked them and stuck it under the edge of the photo with a bit of ribbon on top .



Oh well back to the scrap table for me I need to get some more pages done ( I just wrote work but changed it ,cause scrapping is never work )   Untill next time stay safe and sain with scrapppy.
