Basketball Life by Suzanne

Hi Everyone

Just  finished a blog and I'd used some awesome Memory Maze chipboard on this project so I thought I'd add it to the blog so everyone could see what I'd been up too

I created this canvas with a camera and a picture frame attached for an application to the Lindy's Stamp Gang Design Team a little while back and I've only just gotten around to adding it to my blog 

The chipboard I used was Attitude in a circle and Square Mesh Grunge   


This photo of my son was taken by a friend at our local basketball courts 
Jack eat, sleeps and lives for his basketball





I started off with an old camera that was going in the bin of course I had to save it
I glued lots of different paper clay shapes over the camera then gessoed the whole thing
The frame was given to me in a box of mixed frames that someone was getting rid of I painted that with black gesso
The canvas was one I had done a SHE ART project on, it was sitting in the cupboard collecting dust so this project 
is made up of recycled stuff

I started off with an old camera that was going in the bin of course I had to save it
I glued lots of different paper clay shapes over the camera then gessoed the whole thing

 I used -  red hot poker orange and cattail copper brown from the Autumn Leaves Settweedle dee denim from the Mad Hatter Setbachelor button blue from the Prairie Wildflower Setsteampunk sepia and steel shimmer from the Industrial Chic Set and the clam bake beige from the Nantucket Pearls Set on the camera, all the embellishments and the background of the canvas
I wanted to have some string to my canvas so I added some water to the string then used the steel shimmer from the Industrial Chic Set to cover it completely then set it aside to dry
As you can see I used lots of different products from metal to chipboard  from Memory Maze and the Magical's show up awesome on all 
different textures and mediums
I love how it went into the cracks that I created with some crackle paste
The canvas also had lace and other bits already glued down so when I sprayed the powders they spread so nicely into all the 
crevasses and show up all the details

I also used Bavarian Blue Embossing Powder on the frame and the camera
On the camera I sprinkled the powder onto the wet gesso, it gives it a more mottled look 
On the frame I used some versamark and a texture stamp so there was a bit of dimension to it






Thank you for visiting and I hope you will be back soon xxx

Smile Big by Suzanne

Hi Everyone Suzanne here

My turn on the Blog today 

On this rare occasion I had some photos of my son to 
scrap so using the Checker Plate Stencil was perfect as it added to him 
standing against the roller door of the garage 

The problem is he never smiles yet he's the one that wants the photos taken so we have 
to say something stupid to get him to laugh and catch it LOL 


The Checker Plate Stencil is one of my faves it is such a great masculine 
stencil but can be used for anything really

I used some Impasto to give it a raised look then once it dried I used a teal spray to drip 
and drizzle over the page to highlight some of the areas


The Grunge Holes Mesh chipboard is so cool it comes in two pieces one end is
ovals and the other is squares with all the little bits filled in the holes which can
be used for all sorts of fun things (great little Easter eggs, confetti, if you arrange
them you can make a paw print) - endless like your imagination


I like to use the Grunge Holes Mesh for mixed media pages it adds extra 
dimension and texture - you can paint it, stamp it even fill the holes in with 
texture paste then stamp it or fill it with beads



Here are the links to the Products I used - 








Thanks for visiting I hope you will be back soon xx

Shabby Chic banner - Candy

Hi everyone Candy here with a creation I have been working on for some weeks now.
I am making an altered embrodery hoop for a 
swap group I am in and I had to make a banner
so here it is.




Sorry it is fairly big and hard to photograph, but I did my best.
I have made this using some 12 x 12 chipboard.
Cutting three triangle pieces and covering them
with paper, lace and plenty of pretties.
They are decorated both front and back. 
But on the back it is really simple.

This is the middle banner


This is the left banner 


And this is the right one


I cut the frame in quarters and using the gold and white
embossing powder, embossed them all but I only used three
at the top of each one.
I did the same with the double hearts and the word love.
