I worked on this project for the August workshop .I really enjoy working with acrylic.I love the way that one page impacts upon the next so you constantly need to think about how one page will look when it is placed on top of its neighbour.

I used the Prima range of clear printables,and added colour with alcohol ink.

I loved working on this layout .It was Part of the blog challenge.” Film titles”

I used lots of black Stickles and Crackle Paint. The trick to getting Crackle paint to stick to acrylic is to apply a layer of Clear Acents or Diamond Glaze just before it drys,  this prevents flaking.

Yogurt pot inspiration.

This pot inspired the Maisey Layout

I am always looking for new ideas, new ways to combine colours and shapes. I saw an advertisement for “Rachel’s yogurt” when I was flicking through a magazine in a dentist waiting room .I like the combination of the strong B&W and the softness of the Daisy. 

I decided to paint some Daisy’s using watercolour for the layout,it contrasts well with the B&W. Additional softness was added using velum and lace.

Music has always played an important part in our family’s life .There are many songs that hold very special memories, The lyrics of others seem to speak volumes.For this reason I love the “Scrap the Music ” Blog. Here are some of my ” Music”  layouts .

In May I organised a Digital photography work shop with Paula Johnston, My idea was to capture the Bluebell woods  in all their glory. Here are the layouts I designed to use in later workshop.

I have promised myself time the summer to do some summer layouts  JUST FOR ME. ( I am commited now it is in writing!) In the mean time hear are some beach layouts I designed for past workshops.

In this is a double sided layout. I wanted to use lots of photos, so I created a water fall mini Album and incorporated it onto the second page.

Here are a few summer layouts that are not of a beach in Cornwall!

For  this project I chose to work with a variety of techniques  and materials .I  designed the project for a  one day workshop held in June. A similar event will be running  on the 26th  September in Mevagissey. Please look at the course section of my website for details. You can book on line and pay the full amount using paypal. Alternatively places can also be reserved with a £20 deposit  (please contact me for further information of this payment option)

THE ALBUM

The latest addition to the Twiddleybitz range of chipboard products is

The Camper Van

I created this project for the  September addition of Scrapbook Magazine.  Inspired by the Cornish Beach holiday.  What a fun way to show off those beach holiday snaps.

I hope that by looking at the wheel it will help you to choose  the colours for your layouts.

Have a look how the colours of nature  follow the colour wheel rules (Or should that be the other way round).
