Petal Lane | Bo Bunny

#kerriegurney #bobunny #petallane #scrapbooking

Hi Everyone I am back sharing some layouts I created last month using the gorgeous
Bo Bunny Petal Lane Collection.
If you don't yet have this collection you need to get out and buy it from your local papercraft store before it is all gone as you can see it is just gorgeous

I am so in love with the mix of pinks and yellows with a dash of black so perfect

 Happy Creating

Love Always Layout | Stuck?! Sketches April Challenge 2016

#kerriegurney 

Hi Everyone,
My layout today is of my beautiful sister Megan, who passed away in Jan 2006  this photo was taken just after Megan was diagnosed with cancer. We had a girls weekend up the coast and I will forever treasure those memories of our wonderful weekend with our besties, I just wish I had taken more photos, sadly we thought we would have more time with Megan, but her cancer was so aggressive and took hold so quickly.
 I look at this photo and other from the weekend and all the memories from that weekend come flooding back to me and one thing that I remember the most is Megan kept smiling all weekend.
This is why taking photos and recording your memories is just so important.

I have been sick with pneumonia for the last few weeks and so with lots of time to browse the internet, rather than shopping online,
I thought I would get browse some challenge sites for inspiration.
I came across this sketch from Stuck?! Sketches and used it as my inspiration for my layout

here are a couple of steps on how my background was created

layer all the paper pieces and mark their placement

I  used the Ultimate Crafts Magnolia Lane Damask Frame die to create a mask for adding texture paste

while the texture paste was still wet I sprinkled on some Couture Creations ultra fine iridescent glitter

Love Always Layout | Stuck?! Sketches April Challenge 2016

Precious Moments | Couture Creations

#kerriegurney #couturecreationsaus

Hi everyone, Kerrie here with a layout for Couture Creations using the just released Perfectly Petite Doilies dies ..these dies are super cute and perfect for cardmakers and scrapbookers

I have kept this layout fairly simple,  I really wanted these beautiful photos of my Brother, Sister in Law, my Niece and her new hubby to shine as this was such a precious moment and memory for our family.

I have used a piece of patterned paper from the Christmas Emporium Paper Pad as the base of the page, showing you all what a versatile collection the Christmas Emporium is with this subtle blue piece of patterned paper perfect for this layout.
I trimmed this piece down to 30cm x 30cm and adhered it to a piece of Core'dinations Chocolate Box cardstock

To start I die cut 2 of each of the Autumn Wreath, Victoria and Florence dies from the Perfectly Petite Doilies collection from blue cardstock

I then cut them all in half to create 12 pieces

next up i prepared my Couture Creations paper flowers, by plucking the center from the Cottage Pollen Flowers

I then gave them all a little fleck of colour by flicking some brown spray over them all

add some layers to the base paper with some torn pieces of cardstock, 

I have embossed the blue piece using the Random Daises embossing folder

tuck the doily halves under the bigger piece of  torn cardstock

I have used Core'dinations Chocolate Box Cardstock which has the brown colour ontop and blue core and back which when torn gives you that contrasting coloured edge

Finish off with some 3mm Pearls and an Imaginarium Designs Chipboard Title

TIP; if you would like your embossed piece to stand out ink lightly over the embossed piece using a sponge dauber
