Woohoo new inks and stamps


It is always so exciting when we get new product in at Pages 2 Scrap.  I have been waiting for the 6 new Dylusions ink sprays to arrive and as soon as they did I just had to take them home and play.  The six new colours are Cherry Pie, Dirty Martini, Calypso Teal, After Midnight, Funky Fuchsia and White Linen.  I am totally in love with the White Linen.  It is my new favourite colour.



The new stamps that Dyan has realsed are very cute.  They are all monsters and critters.  I just love them.




Also the new sayings stamps are really cool too and they always make me giggle.

Thanks for stopping by...

Layers...


I am so lucky that each year I get to travel to CHA and attend the big trade show.  This year I got an opportunity to look through Dyan Reaveley's journals.  There were several pages that were torn in the journal.  Dyan told me that she just tears the paper out and then sticks it back in when she needs it.

So I thought that I would give this a go.  In the series of pages I have torn half a page out, then stuck it back into the series to make a new page.  I have used Tim Holtz Tissue Tape to stick it back in.  This is a really cool effect and adds another layer of dimension to your page.




Here is a close up of the torn pages.



Having the smaller pages can add so much more to your journal.  It helps to make it very easy to finish a page.  They are all separate pages on their own but are like a mini story.  




I have tired to keep the colour scheme similar throughout the pages.  I have also used a mix of Dylusions Inks and Dabber paints on all of the pages.



To finish off something a little weird again.  I also like the Girls with the Scissors near the page that is torn!!

Sparkly Shoes & a New Tiara...



Don't you just love a weekend where you get to craft??  I am so lucky that I can just go into my scrap room and everything is there ready and waiting for me.

I really love the stamped saying on this page.  "I'm pretty sure that with sparkly shoes and a new tiara we could conquer the world".  The possibilities are just endless !!




I love using the house stamps and the toadstools to make the house look so tiny.  Adding the ladybug and ants also helps.    I just love with Dylusions that no two backgrounds are the same.  I always seems to end up with a page that is nothing like I thought it would.  I have again used the white Sharpie to make the outlines of the leaves to really make them pop.




I think it is great fun to add something a tad unusual to each page.  I love putting in a stamped person upside down on the page.  On this page I have also thrown in a couple of bees, a spider, lady bugs and a few ants.

A Happy Page..



So what do you do on a Friday night after you have had a nice and relaxing bath??  You get all dirty again.  This page makes me happy.  I just love the colours and the stamps.  It gives me such a floaty feeling.



I had totally forgotten that I even had this stamp.


I love the Welcome door.  I have also popped a little lady bug on the top just because it is sooo cute.
