Anna's Craft Cupboard | Annabelle Acrylics Feature | November 2019

Hello my lovely blog subscribers and welcome to my blog today! It's been a little while between posts but I just wanted to drop in quickly and share all of my November Anna's Craft Cupboard shares in one place!!

This month I featured lots of the beautiful Annabelle acrylic pieces available exclusively through Anna's and here they are!

First up this fun page "You Have My Heart" featuring Annabelle with the oh so fun "Squeeze The Day" collection by Bella Blvd


You can see the full blog post on the Anna's blog here

And my process video is below


Next was this very mixed media page using a cut file to hand stitch around and some Lindy's products for the mess "Sprinkles & Fairydust"!


Blog post is here on the Anna's blog

And video is below!


3rd up was this page "But First... Coffee" created using the Vicki Boutin Wildflower & Honey collection and again more Lindy's for my background.


The full blog post is over here on the Anna's blog

Warning!! This video goes on a bit of personal journey tangent ;)

And lastly was this page "You & Me Silly Selfies" pairing Annabelle with Pink Fresh Studio's "Just A Little Lovely" collection.


Blog post can be read here 

And my video is, again, below.


I hope you have enjoyed my shares for Anna's this month! I really loved playing with those gorgeous acrylic pieces and digging into my Anna's stash of purchased and left over goodies! So fun!

Until next time, happy scrapping and thanks for stopping by!

STB November | Show Us Your Guns!

Hello my scrappy friends and welcome to my blog today! It's the 1st of November which means a new Scrap The Boys challenge!


This one is super fun! See what I did there?! LOL Here is the page I created!


Now, if you have been following along with me at all on other social media channels you will know that I think both of my boys are Super Heroes and have recently scrapped a couple of photos with that exact sentiment so I did struggle a little with this! 


I started with the colours and the idea of Super Heroes and "Boom". I picked this photo and a collection but it wasn't working for me. So I shifted gears a little and ran with the idea of the "Boom!" action bubble image. I googled something to get an image I could use and while I was doing that inspiration hit!!! Why do I HAVE to use the red and yellow? Most of the time that is not my boy! So, pink and aqua it is!!!


And unicorns lol Which immediately made me think of the Shimelle Glitter Girl collection! I pulled out my 12x12 Project pad and off I went!


I added in some mixed media in the background in yellow. Then one of the lenticular pieces from the ephemera pack as well as a tag. I found a couple of rubber pieces from Cocoa Vanilla Studio that worked well, some lightening acrylic shapes from Annabelle and added in my title and my page was done!


You can see my process in the video below! Grab a cuppa and I hope you enjoy!


Make sure you head over here for all of the incredible inspiration from the DT and to load up your take on this challenge! Also, make sure you are following STB on FB here and Insta here!

I hope I have inspired you to play along this month, until next time, happy scrapping!
