October news...

Hello SO fans,

It is October and high time for an update on new products in store! Lots of gorgeous papers, ink pads, flowers are new and well worth going shopping for! So today I thought I would share with you some creations by us using gorgeous Authentique Papers "Enchanted" Collection (perfect for theses Halloween photos),they are available here the layout below is by Rachelle, what a gorgeous fun filled layout!

I love those game cards, they are just so adorable! Now here is what I created with those gorgeous papers:

There are lots of little details, first one is a mini canvas collage:

It is made of one card (cut out of Authentique paper, so so cute those little cards, I have cut lots of them and are randomly glued down around my layout), a Prima leaf (available here it is part of Zephyr Collection flowers and leaves), from my stash a big orange brad, a prima light bulb and resin flower (cut off an old vine), a bit of rope, a paper clip, and a bit of chickenwire! This layout weighs a ton and is full of volume and textures.

Here is a closie of the chipboard:

There is a fair bit of recycling in this layout as well as lots of inking and distressing, those papers are so gorgeous it was just pure fun to create this layout! The chipboard title "Adore" is from Dusty Attic and is part of a word set, for the fun effect I heat embossed distress powder + distress stickles together.

There are plenty more goodies to play with and that includes DT kit designed by Tina and it is a ripper! Full of gorgeous Prima goodness and Tina has designed 3 layouts with this kit, it is great value, here is a  pic of the kit:

It is available here, but be quick but these kits are extremely popular!!!!

That's it for us today, I hope we inspired you! We will be back with some more inspiration soon!

Until then happy scrapping!

OUR NEW DESIGN TEAM GIRLS...

We at Scrapping Outback would like to introduce our NEW Design team for 2012. We had a hard decision making our choices, and unfortunately we could only pick 4. We would like to thank all of you who did apply and really did appreciate your time and effort - thankyou! Now, without further ado.........here are our 4 new Design Team members in no particular order. Tina Connolly I'm a wife, mother, small business owner (car detailing), and totally obsessed scrapper. With two daughters, I have an unending supply of girly photos to scrap, just begging to be embellished. My inspiration comes from the photos, and the feelings that they envoke. My preferred genre is layouts, but I do enjoy cardmaking, OTP, stamping (mainly on layouts) and doing canvases. I love the creative process, and combining different techniques and textures. I'm addicted to using chipboard and flowers on my layouts, and must admit I love doing multiple techniques on chipboard, as it's so durable and versatile. I have taught layout, OTP, and card classes at my local scrapbooking store for the past two years. I have been published in a number of online magazines, and in Australian Scrapbooking Ideas (Issue 3) Sandrine Dawes My name is Sandrine Dawes, I live in Roma, QLD. I am originally from France (I still have that strong French accent) and have been in Australia for 13 years.I have been scrapbooking for 5 years, I have a 6 year-old boy and an 18 months daughter, they are my favourite subjects for scrapbooking. I am currently on the Fat Cats Card Corner Design Team and a kit designer for Circle of Friends, I was on the Word or Whatever Chipboard Design Team for the past 6 months, my work has been published in Scrapbook Creations, Scrapbooking Memories, Australian Stamping and Papercraft Magazine. I would describe my style as freestyle, with a hint of vintage. I absolutely love making my own embellishments using punches and dies, I also put a lot of effort in the details, always trying to do something different on each layout. I am completely ecstatic about being part of the Scrapping Outback Design Team and looking forward to know my new family! Kim Kendell I have been scrapping now for over 10 years and would have to say I addicted. I love what can be done with paper and different media and I am finding that I really am getting right into the multimedia I feel it allows for a lot more self-expression on a LO or OTP I hope through my term with Scrapping Outback that I can share some of my ideas with you all. I am a mum to Malina and a partner to Donald and an Aunty to many nieces and nephews all of whom are my source of photos. I have experienced many different design terms over my scrapping career and have been published online and in print. I find that scrapping is an outlet from the pressures of day to day life. My favourite lines would have to be Graphic 45 and Prima as well as Basic Grey and I just love doing vintage and shabby vintage. Romy Veul Hi! My name is Romy Veul and I'm an 18 year old scrapaholic from the Netherlands. I live in a village near Amsterdam toegether with my parents, my two brothers and our pets. At the moment I'm in my first year of University: I study Dutch language and (applied) linguistics in our capital city. My dream is to become a reporter or to have my own magazine some day. But until that time, I'm just enjoying being a teen. I love to spend time with friends, to be creative and to make sure I capture all those special moments with my camera. Creativity has always been a big part of my life. I've been a craft-addict since the moment I started kindergarten. There are many hobbies that I've tried: I've made jewelry, 3D cards, home decoration items... You name it and I did it;) But after a while I was always looking for something new. That was until the moment I attended a workshop scrapbooking at my high school, about five years ago. I was hooked immediately and that has never changed. Since I started at University my life has become a bit busier, but it also means that I cherish my scrappy time in the evenings even more. 'Im currently on the design team for Bo Bunny, My Creative Scrapbook, Scrap for Help and Simpel Scrappen and feel very humbled to be part of these fabulous teams. I would define my style of scrapbooking as layered, shabby chic and detailed. My favourite part of scrapbooking is always adding the details: chipboard, flowers, seam binding and glitters...it makes me so happy to just play around with my goodies. I do both layouts and cards: sometimes I seem to be more in a card mood, while the day after I prefer creating on a 12x12 sheet of paper again. Lately I've been quite addicted to laser-cut chipboard. The chipboard is so versatile and it can add a wonderful, whimsical twist to your page. So I was really honoured when I received an e-mail asking me if I'd like to join the Scrapping Outback DT. I can't wait to start playing with the gorgeous chipboard and to get to know you all better!
