Hi Everyone, Kerrie here with a layout I created for Little Birdie Crafts using their Beautiful Life  Patterned Cardstock Collection
I have used a photo of my eldest daughter taken when she was just 6 months old, she will be 27 next week so I thought is was a nice time to scrap this photo. This photo has always been a favourite of mine as she is wearing a dress that was her dad's from when he was a baby. My Hubby is one of  5 boys and obviously his Mum wanted a girl and dressed him in dresses :)
It is a very treasured dress which I will pass down to my children. I only wish I had taken of photo of them all in it.

Using the plastic bag the patterned cardstock came in slap on some Misty Rose Chalk Paint and then spritz with water and smoosh around

Then lay your cardstock straight on and smooth over, lift off gently

 You will end of with a chalky watercolour effect. Dry off with heat tool 

Cut the border from this sheet of patterned cardstock and cut down your 

Colour Chipboard Sentiment using a layer of Misty Rose, while still wet apply a coat of Tattered Lace and then again while still wet another coat of Misty Rose and set aside to dry

Fussy cut some flower clusters from the fussy cut sheet, cut some tags, doilies and journal blocks to embellish your layout and don't forget to add some handmade flowers.
I added some sparkle using Strawberry Lips Hodge Podge and Gel Medium

I applied some Gel Medium using a skewer to the top of my Chipboard Title and then sprinkled on the Strawberry Lips Hodge Podge

I added some White Gesso to flowers and leaves using a combination of dry brushing and applying with a skewer

I popped some Sisal Fibre under my clusters to add texture

I finished off with with some splatters, I create these using watered down White Gesso and a Fan Paint Brush

Beautiful Life Class Layouts | Celebr8

#kerriegurney #celebr8

Hi Everyone I hope you are all safe and healthy. While self isolating I was going through deleting photos from my phone and came across photos of these layouts I created for Celebr8. These were a bonus take home class that attendees were given when Erin and Jenny did their Celebr8 classes back in February.
I absolutely love this Beautiful Life collection and it was so easy to create with and as you can see it is perfect for many occasions.
Scroll down for a closer look at my layouts.

Tip; add a watercolour effect using sprays or ink pads. Just spritz or dab colour onto craft mat and spritz with water then tap page onto the craft mat

Tip; double layer embellishments using foam tape and some cotton thread, muslin or sisal fibre to add  texture and dimension

Tip; If you visit parks grab their flyers that way you can add their logo to your clusters 

I always like to add splatters to finish off my layouts

Celebr8 collections are available from your local papercrafting stores in South Africa and Australia

if you local store doesn't yet stock Celebr8 collections ask them to get them in

 Happy Creating

Hello Beautiful Card

#kerriegurney 

As my mind isn't what it used to be I created another card for my niece's new baby girl.
 My niece lives overseas so in my defense I had forgotten I had sent her one and when she came home with her gorgeous family I created another one for her how lucky is she 

I have used my favourite Bo Bunny collection ever Sunshine Bliss  along with some die cuts and of course flowers

 Happy Creating
