Kraft Plus... September...

hey there everyone. .
Septembers Kraft + challenge 
is just as amazing as Ever.. seriously how cool is that sketch...
well done.... 
so the day had come that i wanted to give it a go.. i knew that i wanted to rotate the sketch... 
but that was all i knew..
and then.. 
dog darn it....... 
NO FREAKING KRAFT paper...
....
thinking...
....
Brown paper Bags.. woot......
i did think of using just a single bag and creating on that but it wasn't ME enough..
so then i ripped it up and randomly stuck it down to some board..
and then went from there..

"my Bliss"

so the details..
the Photo of me taking the sunrise photos my lil sister took of me when we were all up at Rainbow Beach for a Family birthday.. i had no idea she had taken it but i love it.....
so i went from there....
and yes.. 
my bliss... 
its creating.. taking photos.. scrapping. {although not as much as i should} and painting...
so it was natural to combine everything that i love in one layout.
thank you for stopping by..
leave some love..
lots of love
leanne.

time lapse...................

Good morning..
I'm just calling in to share a time lapse with you. whilst those that know me know that I have taken a few before with my phone this is the first one that i've taken with the go pro..... 
it hasn't turned out too bad considering its my first go.....
process of learning is never ending. 

those that know me will also know that i have the most amazing and supportive dad around (one day fingers crossed i might meet a man that comes close.. well thats the dream) anyway I had mentioned the afternoon before going that i didnt have a tripod or anything to mount the go pro on to get it off of the ground for timelapse.. so this little sticky thing is his invention that he whipped up in under 10 minutes.. it is PERFECT.........................
 a little selfie just because i can...

 and a phone pano of the beach..
Third bay at Coolum
also commonly known as the unofficial nudist beach... woot..

and now onto the reason you came to visit.. Time lapse.
Third Bay Coolum. 
Sunrise 23/09/2015



hope that works...



let me know what you think.

i've got another one to process yet. 
have a blessed Sunday.
don't forget to be thankful for what you have in your life.

lots of love.

show us your stuff... august....

Its mid month revel at Show us your stuff... 
which means a new challenge... 
and a mood board.. 

 and you know what i LOVE LOVE love about mood boards.. you can just go with whatever comes out after seeing the board...
here is my take..

"You are You"

can you see what i got out of it...
yep part of the saying...
then the 3 strips of colour and then the wood type colours in the pattern paper i used.. 
so its what i felt when i saw the MOOD board..
my handmade items are ... from Rainbow Splendour. the felt chevron strips and foam leaf.
from Dlish the 2 flairs, 
from Charms Creations the arrow and star 
and then an old school the chip chop shop bird pin...

so there you go.. just go with where the mood takes you and have a go..

thanks for looking..
xoxoxo.. 
oh and only 13 more days until spring.. WOOHHOOOOO..

its a NEW month...

its a new month here at Show Us Your Stuff....

this month is a doozy.. getting back to our scrappy roots..
well. somewhat.
the challenge.
da da dahhhh.....
yep you read that correctly..
use your handwriting as a feature..
{{struggle street}}............. 
journaling isn't something that i have ever been big on. 
and my current feel just wasn't bringing it.
so i went with what felt natural for this one..

recently i have been talking to a friend about Soul Food.. 
the things that our inner person needs to keep going. to replenish. 
TO FEEL ALIVE....
so i went with that. it felt right. 
yes i know a little bit hippy crazy love emotion happening in that one...
and then.. 
THIS happened.

"Soul Food"
.i combined a couple of things that has been making my soul happy. 
Painting.. my watercolours paintings.
{which reminds me that i really should do a post about that.}
and my soul food.. 
i truly feel my most at home at the beach. any beach.
yes i have some special places to revive. but all in all 
the magic. the emotion. the smell. the feel . the sense of freedom 
that the ocean gives is what i went for..
hope you feel it..

and then some closies..
 my dodgy handwriting. i'm blaming the textures and .. stuff..
but it reads..
"we all have that something, that place where our soul
goes to replenish, to feel. so we can keep going.. 
the key is to find your special place. your soul food.
whats your .. soul food."

**didnt have any sand handy so i used embossing powder for that feel.. 
and a Dlish flair.**
 the title. my trademark staples.. and the hand made..
Charms Creations map marker...

so there you go. drink in some soul food.
find some handmade goodness.. add some Journalling and wallah..
you are on fire.

may your days be blessed with love, hope and wonder..

drop on over to the Show us your stuff blog for some more inspiration.

happy days..

New challenge time at Show Us Your Stuff....

HELLOoo.............
a big hi to whoever is out there in blog land that stops by...
new month means a new challenge at Show Us Your Stuff....
and May's challenge is super easy.. 
its a sketch.. look at that cutie...
{{don't forget to add your hand made embellie and all is sweet as cherry cola.}}
 well most of you know.. i like to do things a little different.. 
so yes my take on the sketch isn't quite.. um... conventional...
"g"
TOLD YOU........... 
so i flipped the sketch.. 
created "layers" where most would use pp with ink and resist with candle wax.
and then.. 
just added more textures... 
and then a super cool.. well i like it cluster...
 Just so you can see the cluster... i've used more ink, embossing powders.. staples..
and my hand made elements.. a Heavenly Heart from Charms Creations..
a Cork Polaroid frame from Rainbow Splendour {LOVE IT}
and an old fabric button from Lil Red Rocket.. oh how i miss LRR.... 
so there you have it..
create something awesome..
think outside the square..
and most of all

ENJOY.......

a little piece of me..

so I'm sharing some randoms that I've created lately.....
I was inspired by a Fiona Paltridge video of a layout she created a little while ago..
 
I loved how it all ended up... a little bit of me and a little random.
 
"Hey Beautiful"
 the photo is one I took of my friends daughter Alecia in the sunflowers a little while ago
and its one of my favourites.....
{i'm printing at home at the moment so the quality isn't as good as i'm used to ..
but at least i'm getting some different material to work with"
the Camera Pin is from Rainbow Splendour
and the chippy is a Scrapmatts...... .
 
 the chippy I randomly dabbled glue and then added a couple of different coloured sands that I borrowed {yeah borrowed is the right word" from my daughter....
and the flair is by DLish.....
 
next up I was playing with being able to do people..
I still don't do people but I haven't given up yet...
 
'She Is Strong"
at lot of mixed media in this .. started with a dylusions background and then mixed watercolours and paint to a create the .. lady......
 I then "scrapped" the top portion of the page to create a she art inspired layout...
I've used another DLish flair,..  a Charms creation a heavenly heart.
and a Rainbow Splendour velum pin wheel.. cute hey!!!
and lastly..
 
"wild and CRAZY"
 
 since I've been doing a few watercolours lately I created this on the watercolour book page and then kept going. some of you may have seen the layout already on facebook..
I actually randomly videoed me creating this one.. a few whoopsies and all...

so the background.. candle wax, dylusions, watercolour, embossing powder and watercolour.. oh and posca pens.. woohoo...
the HEART is another Charms Creation,
 and this time the flair is from A piece of cake designs
and its mounted on a bottle top from DLish.. whooohoo for wonderful products..
 random stapling.... turned into cute hugs and kisses....
 
 
hope you've enjoyed looking at these..
thanks for visiting..
Leanne..

the colours.. and ingredients.. well YAY..

a little bit of ART....

Since I haven't been able to work and I don't have a job I've been trying to keep myself occupied...
and well these happened...
 
"Bedford"
 
this one is 120cmx90cm big..
done on a piece of ply wood.
mixed media... I've used house paint, inks, spray cans..
all on top of a layer of texture paste and stencils.....
close up...
I love the grunge....
 

and just to show you how mixed up I really am..
 this one is only 30cmx40cm....
"Dragonfly"
Created on a canvas board..
yep .. using my scrapbooking background I just wanted to play with the inks and watercolour paints to see what happened.. and of course.. a bit of texture.....
close up...

and then the latest one... measuring 75cmx60cm its a little middle sized canvas...
"Tulips"
again experimenting with dylusions inks and watercolour paints and acrylics.......
and lots of texture...
close up...
 
now what to do with these.. might have to create a little more and head off to a market or something..
 
thanks for visiting..
please leave some love...
 
Leanne..xoxo

Something totally left field...

good morning, afternoon or just a hello..
I've been experimenting a little lately.....
and I probably finish with this one.. since its the latest project that I created...
anyway, I never do anything in the correct order....
 
"Dare to Dream"
 This just started out as a little play with watercolour to create the deer..
and then ended up as a layout..
totally different and I really like it...

LOOK flowers... I used FLOWERS...
I know you can pick yourself up off of the floor now!!..
a dLish flair in there as well as some Rainbow splendour Felt bow and crown pin....
 SO...
what's been happening..
I heard that one of my favourite creative people was coming to town..
and I jumped at the chance to do a couple of her classes..
I LOVED THEM..
yep and haven't looked back....
 
"LOVE"
{inspired and taught by Lisa Oxley}
YEP this technique is SO very me.. so much fun.... and flowers.. argh.. flowers..
 a couple of different angles so you can see the layers.. the love and the fun....
 
And then the second one..
it was all about introducing you to the amazingness that is POSCA pens....
wow.. love them.. someone please fund me to so I can buy more...
 
"My Man"
 {inspired and taught by Lisa Oxley}

yep.. another colourful background......
and then have a go at that feather!!!!!
I used left overs from the previous layouts....and LOVE it..
thank you for the most amazing class and the awe inspiring talent..
 
have a superb weekend.. lots of love forever...
