Last plays with Altair Art papers

Hello All

Since this is my last post for the Altair Art Design Team I thought that I would play around with 2 projects.  The first one is a scrapbooking layout, my usual, I know.  I used all the polka dot papers for this layout.

Amazing for me, I know, but yes, it is a simple little card for Christmas.  I am not a card maker at all and very much admire the talents of those that do, so this is a very quick attempt at a Christmas card.  

That is it for me.  I do apologise for the picture quality, but I am currently on the road travelling around New South Wales in Australia for a week.  My greatest thanks to Anka for allowing me to represent her company and her papers.  Keep designing all and do what you have to do to be happy.

One of my most favourite Altair Art papers

Hello All

2nd of December already - how completely crazy!  I don't mind if people get Christmassy now that my birthday has finally passed.  A quick layout today using a variety of papers and ephemera across a wide range of Altair Art papers.  I also used a few funky pieces of Scrap FX chipboard and embossed them to use.  All pretty simple.

That's all, just a quick layout, but don't the little green leaves just look the absolute cutest?  Enjoy your month all, don't get too stressed out doing Christmas things!

Fussy cutting the new Altair Art papers

Hello All

Back again, with a post that is a little late.  Not good at all, however, check out this little piece of loveliness ... Altair Art has released some new papers - awesome, I know!!  The range is called Nightfall and it is full of some rather unusual layouts that should get your creativity churning.

For my first one, I selected the green as my base paper and then I fussy cut the flowers out of another piece and mounted them with double sided tape around the page.  I did spray a bit more green around the die cut elements just to give them a bit of shadow effect.  After that it is the usual layering process until it is finished.  That's it from me for this month, see you early next month.  See a couple of pictures below.

Don't forget to check out the challenge for this month too - lots of fun.

Take care, be good, be kind and most of all, find time to create.  Loads of love, Delia

Keen on Green with Altair Art papers

Hello All,

Almost late with my first layout of the month.  Do you have some creative moments when the design just takes a little longer to finish than others?  Well, this layout was one of those for me and then having a deadline coming down on me causes pressure which is not good for creativity.  I think the message in there is to get my act together earlier - it is just that life is so busy all the time these days and I do not get that considering I live out in rural Australia!

So, this layout I used one of the new Christmas papers as I really wanted to utilise the green of the paper as the photo I am going to put in this layout is one of a child peaking through some leaves and flowers.

To create the photo matte, I used a variety of Altair Art paper scraps from all my various layouts.  I then dug through my die cut pieces and found these groovy squiggles from ScrapFX to use coming out from the image and built on those with flowers and a few other pieces.

Hope you like it, I really do and I cannot wait to put the pic in it when my daughter finally gives it to me!  Enjoy all.  See you later in the month.

Channelling my inner pink with Altair Art

teehee.  I am very much having a pink fest at the moment in the art room.  My inspiration piece for the month is also pink, so I suspect not much pink will happen after this for a wee while!

Anyway, I did use a little bit of grey to try and tone down the pink, but all in all, it is quite pink, but it is pretty.

It is just a fun little layout, using all Altair Art papers and some ephemera along  with some Kaisercraft ephemera and other elements.  That is it for today all, I hope you all have a great month.

smiles,

Circles of Love

Hello All,

Welcome to June!  Half way through and it has gone very quickly for me, too much so, in fact.  So, I let a piece of Kaisercraft die cut circles be my inspiration for this piece, which is also probably one of my most flattest layouts ever, but it works and it is super cute.  With room for 3 pictures, I am yet to find the perfect ones, but until then, it is finished.  The background paper is one of my most favourite Altair Art papers of all with the beautiful outer space image.  Where we live now we get to see the most amazing array of stars ever and the Milky Way some nights is truly outstanding.  It is amazing how much more you can see out in the country without the city lights.
