Sea Journal

-

Hello Crafty Peeps, yes I know it's been a long time since I blogged! time just gets away with me and I really need to manage it better when it comes to my blog and my craft creations, and I know I have said it before that I need to be better at this :-(

I have made this beautiful journal that I have called "Sea Journal" using the stunning Ciao Bella Under the Ocean papers, with a combination of Kaisercraft Unchartered Waters stickers and diecut collection.

The journal was made for a friend who has been down, and loves the ocean so I thought what better way to combine her love for the ocean with some inspirational quotes to help her along the way.

The journal has pockets and spaces for adding photos or journaling, or anything my friend desires to add within it. I also made a card to go with it, with a picture of a girl and a dog by the sea having a coffee! what a perfect way to represent her as well to show her its ok to take time out for yourself when you need too with your fur baby.

I used nuvo glitz to colour some of the die cuts and stickers, I added some bling and washi tape randomly throughout, I also coloured the ribbon that ties the journal together using dylusions spray. It turned out quite good!

I absolutely love how it turned out.












Happy Crafting :-)

Welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations

Hello, welcome to Mishka's Crafty Creations Blog, where I hope to be able to inspire you with my creations so you can come along with me on my journey! I am super excited to be part of  Scrap Of Your Life  Design Team, a very first for me, so I am a little nervous, however I am looking forward to the next 6 months and the exciting projects and inspiration I can bring to you. A little about me.....I have been crafting since I was around 18 years old (a long time ago) or thereabouts, and not always with paper crafts. I actually started cross-stitching, which then lead me into making teddy bears with embroidery on them. From here I moved into paper crafts, being introduced to Crafty Kids at the time and absolutely loved what they offered. I then met some wonderful, creative people along the way attending various craft workshops and enjoyed being with like minded people and creating to our hearts content. I have developed some wonderful friendships along the way, and created many vario

Tag Cards using Heidi Swapp Old School

These cute tag cards were made using the Studio Light Accordian Tag die, so easy to do as it cuts ready made into the accordion without having to score and stick the tag together. The inside dies also make it perfect to add extra layers which I have done for some of my tag cards. The entire tag cards are made using Heidi Swapp Old School collection, making waves and art district 12x12 paper, stickers and tags, as well a combination of Docrafts  gems and embellishments, paper doily, docrafts denim heart, reedcraft rubons, tiny clips and some ribbon. The base of the cards were cut out in white cardstock, then I used a combination of spearmint and purple palasides cardstock and the 12x12 heidi swapp paper to do the layers. I cut out all the sayings on the Heidi Swapp Urban Stories 12x12, and used a combination of these, with the stickers and tags throughout the cards.  These can now be easily added to other projects or given as a card to someone special to add in their own mini photos, jo

Summer House Frame

Summer isn't too far away, so I decided to make a cute little Summer house using Crate Paper Wonder Wood Veneer Frame and created a Summer Vibe House.  What does Summer mean to you? I remember growing up I used to wait for the IceCream truck, and run out to get an icecream....so my Summer House has a quote Ï scream, you scream we all scream for icecream?, who remembers that as a child? I painted the frame black using Dylusions Paint. Once it was dry, I used a piece of A4 white cardstock and traced around the outside and inside of the frame. The inside was done so it makes it easier to work with, rather than have the frame sitting on top of the cardstock. Using a collection of different papers, Mintay Paradise, Pink Studio Joyful Day and Pretty Little Studios Tags Dream Big collection, I fussy cut images. I stuck these on with double sided tape. The happy tag and I scream you scream was sponged around the edges with archival ink in  chrome yellow. I used a colourblast sun  st e ncil
