Christmas With Circles!

Hi, Happy New Year!
I started scrapping my Christmas photos this week, I wonder how many more years my daughter is going to sit on Santa's lap for, now she is a real pro. The photographer took 3 photos, which she was smiling in all of them and Santa only this one. When the photographer said "that was easy" I followed by saying "She's scrap abused" lol!
I don't know if he knew what I meant but he did laugh, he properly thought what a weirdo!

Over the Christmas break I was given a box full of goodies to play with and one of the items that I fell in LOVE with is the 12x12 Circle Set Frame C828 you can do whatever you like with these, cover, paint, stain, glitter, emboss, you name it.
With Santa's list layout, I used the outer frame piece of the set.
1. Cut and push out the circles from the middle of the set.
2. Paint or Ink the chipboard frame.
3. Glue some vintage style lace or in this case an old table cloth to the frame and cut out the middle and around the edges, leaving over hang.
4. Add extra inking to distress, rubbing over raised parts.
5. Use Liquid Pearls around the circle, making dots as you go.
 Note: Tap the back of the frame on to a desk top, so that the small dots don't have peeks.
Love this October Afternoon Holiday Style.

I also used: 2D Flower Pack.
1. Which I inked first in red.
2. Then embossed with red Christmas embossing powder and heat set.
3. Make rosettes in different sizes, large 12x1.5 inches and small 6x.75 inches.
4. Attached rosettes to back and the front of the shape.
5. Added some baker's twine, buttons and hat pins.


This is another layout I did using the 12 x12 Circle set, and I have 15 more circles to use in the set,
 so I'm sure you will see more.
Thanks Gilly oxo

ONE LITTLE BIT MORE WOW...

Well Christmas is done and dusted...I hope you all had a good time, I sure did, you cannot beat the looks of children when they open their presents, and the giggles and squeals that come with it! Anyway, let's talk chipboard! For my last post I will share some layouts which are my last projects for WOW.
What I have loved during the last 6 months is playing with chipboard, it is so versatile!
In this layout I used something that had been stashed away in my cupboard and that I had been scared to use, Metallic gellato, it was so easy to use and it looks great on my circle frame and arrow!
On my next layout I just covered another arrow with matching paper, there again a very easy technique.

And lastly, on this Christmas layout, I had to use the newly released title "Unwrapped", for this I just coloured it with a green marker and added white glitter on the presents.

Well I hope you enjoyed my last post, thank you for coming by and don't forget to have fun with your chipboards!

Happy Boxing Day!

Hi, it's Tina here, with my last post as a design team member for WOW.  I can't believe the six months is over already.  It's been an honor to be on the team with such wonderful, talented, and inspirational ladies.  A huge thank you to Suzanne for believing in me, and for creating such fabulous chipboard for us to play with.

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, I certainly did.  But I must admit I was exhausted after all the shopping, cooking, cleaning, and preparation for the day.

  I've got a few things to share with you today.

 I embossed the Angel Blowing Trumpet, covered it in Gold Leaf, and added some gold Stickles.
 I painted the  "Christmas Morning" title with Smooch inks, and added some glitter glue in similar colours.

 I haven't completed a layout for my next title "Night before Christmas", as I still need to print my photos of the tree and presents from Christmas Eve.  Once again I used Smooch and coloured various words.  I blended the colours on "Christmas" from dark to light to dark again. 

 You can easy create this effect with inks, paints, or watercolour pencils.


I wanted to share a canvas I made for my daughter as a Christmas present.  It has so many layers of mists, die-cuts, rub-ons, tapes, paints, and was heaps of fun to make.  I used some Petite Alchemy Blooms and an Ornamental Flourish (which I cut up) , misting and painting them.
