Today at Cookin' Up Creations I scraplifted  using (Altered Diva) Cassie's scraplift... her doodling caught my eye for this great Wednesday using fun technique we don't always us often enough and it looks so cool and great. .. and all you need is pencil, pens.. anything you like to doodle with. Add using your stash and it's perfect.


Here is my sample lift and doodling.


 and here are the close up shots.


Fun circles, your own printed title, and hand drawn hearts with more hearts and stars.


More circles with some fun wavy lines using a ruler.


The upper left corner has doodled stitching.

Fab start to 2014 using Robin's Nest Wild about You Collection, Gina's Design Accents and Kreaxions Punches


What an amazing start to 2014.. 
and Gina's Design join to create such fabulous creations.
Lots of fun layers of monochromatic colours with a pop of white and black.. 
so stunning and beautiful together.


Lots of pop of colour with punched borders that are matted.
A circular doodled stitch is accented with diamond dew drops.


Gina's Design chipboard accents are painted and inked... and added to page.


Up close you see the layers, pops of colour and fun clustered accents.
Also made the fun heart punched doily and added the painted flourish accent.


Getting a little wild with this one.. love the animal prints.
Gesso masked background and some added paint splatter base 
the many layers of different shapes and sizes of patterned paper.


Punches, twine, sentiment and gemstones added to Gina's Design shapes that are inked black.


Clustered sections with Gina's Doily, butterfly and peacock feather accents and more twine.


Using glitter paper and punching out the rose design patterned paper 
which I matted with black so it popped was perfect 
with the black inked Gina's Design accents.
Finished off the top right corner with white diamond shape dew drops to form a flower.


The Gina's Design accents were so easy to paint and ink any colour to match the project.

3 Scrappy Boys GDT Call combined with Turtle Soup Challenge



3 Scrappy Boys is having a GDT call... I thought it would be fun to apply.
So using their sketch below by Lanette I made my Disney page.
Lots of fun layers, accents and trims to finish the mermaid page.




 I love using stickers, punchinella, Robin's Nest Dew Drops, fussy cut chevron border
 and inked layers and also ripped the paper.


Some fun tied twine with a metal accent, more dew drops and the\
 printed journal strips for detail info.
I am also using this page for the Friday Inspiration challenge at the Turtle Soup.
It was a colour photo with lots of fabulous blue items...  
which inspired all the shades of blue layered patterned papers.

Just Imagine Crafts and Cookin Up Creations Challenge Saturday Sketch


Hi welcome to Just Imagine Crafts today.. I made the page above using the Kreaxions Circle Cutter and punches 905 and 917. I also used a sketch from Laura Whitiker(below) from a Cookin Up Creations Challenge. Such great lines from the sketch.. great colours, fun layers and great accents.




I started with paint splatter.. and this close up shows the heart punched border and the pop out pieces.


Starting with a Kreaxion Circle Cut.. I then used the Kreaxions stencils to 
mark the lines to punch around the circle....
and the outer fall away piece also makes a great accent... and more scattered hearts.



The upper corner of this section also show the throw away pieces for the punched border. 
This 4 in 1 Kreaxions punch allow for so many variations... and this is only a few ways.

match the points and on to the next one.... OMG so easy.
