Cigar Box Secrets, Prima Marketing..

Hello Sassy Scrappers.  

Did anyone miss me when I wasn't here on Wednesday? ;) 

I've had some internet issues (boohoo) hence the Saturday blog post from me.   

So it's the weekend and hands up if you're getting creative this weekend with paper and glue?

I've gone vintage this week with the Cigar Box Secrets range which is a 

perfectly designed range for vintage photo's.

Well...my photo is vintage at least but I still managed to bring some 

bright fresh colours onto my page.

Prima Marketing Cigar Box Secrets

'Wedded Bliss'

 To construct my page I layered and adhered lots of the Journalling notecards together with 

Prima Art Basics Gel.  

Once it was dry, I blended Gelatos around the edges of the cards to add some extra colour.  

Lastly it was time for some stamping and I also outlined the cards with a white Pitt Artist Pen.

See the Mica flakes sprinkled across the page?  They remind me of confetti...so were very well

suited to this Photograph of my Grandparents wedding.  

See below for links to the products used on my page.

That's it from me today, happy weekend to you.

Cheers,

Leonie Neal-Dawson.

Faber Castell Dessing Memory Craft Gelatos

Crate Paper and Gelatos page layout with Video Tutorial

Hello Scrappers, Leonie here today.

I'm sharing a lovely page I created using the delightful Flea Market Collection by 

Maggie Holmes for Crate Paper.

I've teamed it up with a background I made using Design Memory Craft Gelatos.  

All of which you can find in the Sassy Scrapper Store. 

Here's a video I made showing how I put my page together. 

I've included lots of general little tips and some fun techniques I like to use with 

Gelatos and the Faber Castell tool sets. 

Enjoy. :)

All the products I used in the video are linked below to where you can find them in the 

Sassy Scrapper Store.

Thanks for stopping by.

Cheers,

Leonie Neal-Dawson

    

  

    

  

Glitz Designs and Faber-Castell Gelatos

Happy Hump Day Sassy Scrappers!

It's Leonie here today with more Glitz loveliness to share!

And how I made some patterned paper with Faber-Castell Design Memory Craft Gelatos.

Don't forget our challenge this month!!!

There's still time to enter.

Scraplift one of the DT's October layouts.

You choose which Design Team Member and any one of the pages they create this month.

Link your entry using the linky tool on the right of the blog. :) 

I made some of my own patterned paper to match the Finnley range for this layout.  

Using a template and modelling paste to create texture on a peice of white cardstock.  

I then blended (just with my finger) some Faber-Castell Gelatos in matching 

colours over the raised texture. 

I like how the weave of the cardstock is highlighted by the smudging of the Gelatos.

I have some pieces of paper left over after I'd ripped the edges so I may use that on a future page.

And another close up.  

The wood Veneer letters come with the Freckled Fawn frames.

Thanks for joining me today, I hope you've enjoyed this page.

I'll see you again next week. :)

Cheers,

Leonie Neal-Dawson

                                              






   

MME- Cut and Paste Flair by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Sassy Scrapper Blog.

I spent last weekend scrapping my heart out at a Retreat in NSW.

Gosh I find it so inspiring to be in a room full of people, sharing their ideas (and often supplies) and just generally having lots of fun.  Everyone is always so friendly and helpful to each other.

Do you like to create alone or in a group?  

Anyhow I managed to use up nearly all of the My Minds Eye Cut & Paste Flair range of papers 

I received in my kit this month.  The whole of the Cut & Paste range can be found here in the Sassy Scrapper Shop.

Here's the layout I'm sharing with you today.

I used one of the journalling cards as the title for my page.  The MME range of 

Journal cards are always great if you want to do this.  

My background detail is gesso to begin with and then a mix of the Watermelon

and Mint colours in the Metallic set of Gelatos.  I really like the sheen of the metallics, it's a little hard 

to see here but trust me it's lovely. 

And just some simple Green Tara flowers (one of which I coloured with the Gelatos), a pin from my stash, a MME brad

and some MME Enamel dots as my embellishments.

Thanks so much coming to look at my work. 

See below for links to the products I used from the Sassy Shop.

Cheers,

Leonie Neal-Dawson
