Play Time


Finally I have played with some of my new bits - I've kind of been in a scrapping rut over the last week or two (I think thats why I've had to buy stuff???!!!). Wit these two layouts I just had to get something done & I have. I am now inspired to do some more - just what I hoped. Loved using the papers in both of these - Statue in the Park is on one of the 3 Bugs in a Rug Jovial PP's, loved using the scenic route chipboard letters & my new little davis foam stamps too. Silly uses papers I purchased specifically for these photos - check out how they match Ethan's top! I don't normally buy pps just for a photo - usually just use what I have! The new Basic Grey is lots of fun! I never used to like BG much but I've come round - is that scrappers peer pressure?? Posted by Picasa

Two great LOs. Hey I have been working with that 3 Bugs paper today!! I love the look of the new BG. I was going to try & stay away from it as nearly everything I do has a bit of BG BUT I may just have to give in...
Those little chipbd tags or what ever they are really neat.

yeah dianna - I posted that photo at the time - now I've scrapped it!
The tags are bread tags from I KanDee (I think) & i put on some of the mm metal words too Donna.

I love Basic grey so I think you are onto a good thing to be using BG!! Except of course it might mean less BG for me???
Great work on your layouts. I like the lettering combination.

Hi Lara, Lovely layouts well done! Just a little tip for a future layout to try as a little fun. Have you seen bazzill chips? They are chips of chipboard that come in different shapes. For example you could take the cardstock circle embellishements on your basic grey layout, glue one onto a circle bazzill chip, sand around the edges to add a distress look then roll the edge in ink, it gives you much the same look but adds extra dimension to your page and are heaps of fun to make. Depending on your layout you can glaze with dimentional magic, there are so much you can do with these chipboard shapes, the possibilites are endless. Hope you don't mind the advice but I'm hooked on chipboard at the moment, have fun!!!

Hey anonymous - love chipboard too - use it when I want depth in the LO! I refuse to pay for bits of cardboard though that I can cut myself from digimax packaging! Dimensional Magic is cool on them too - did some on some 'lollipops' recently & used some circles I cut in chipboard with ink on the edges! It is a great easy fun technique! Love the ideas - that's part of why I put my layouts here - thank you.

Hi again Lara, sorry don't have an account with this blogger. I know what you mean about the chipboard I've made a few of my own too, I even invested in a proper gilotine so I could cut up my own squares, rectangles & strips...lol. Feel free to check out my new blogging page and gallery @

Thanks :)

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Stampin' Up! Artisan Design Team - applications are open!

  I am half way through my year as an Artisan Design Team Member with Stampin' Up! and applications are currently open for Stampin' Up! Demonstrators to apply.  I have enjoyed this opportunity, the creative experiences, the teams I get to work with and the lovely supplies we are given (always exciting to see new design briefs and what arrives in my Artisan boxes). Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects. You can see my project coming together and hear me talk a bit about the Artisan Journey in this video : If you live in New Zealand and want some of the creative supplies I have used in this project, please head to:  https://laramoss.stampinup.net/   Supplies used in this project: Two-Toned Cardstock: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Summer Splash, Timid Tiger Designer Series Paper: Turtle-y C...
