Hi, Hi Studio 1440 blog readers, so excited to finally be back after a very long term 4 at school, now its Holidays!!! Yay more time to create. So today I am here sharing a few of my pages in my very full December Daily album, using some of the Studio 1440 goodie that are in the shop.

Here is just a quick photo of my front page in my album.

So one of my front pages is a 4x 2×2 square pocket which I have filled with sequins and wood veneer and sewed it closed. I placed a cute little yellow chipboard star in the middle and glued on of the Studio 1440 Use Your Words.

I also added another tiny word on the other side of the page protector as well.

Throughout my album I have a few places where I didn’t have at least 2 photos so I have made cute little 4×4 filler cards. This is using a Studio 1440 flair ‘My Favourite Memories’ from the Thriftshop Collection.

Love how this foil flair from the Shine On Collection fitted perfectly into the 2×2 pockets with my journaling.

 

This is a very fun idea if you want to jazz up some of your wood veneers, like I have used a camera wood veneer and used some Studio 1440 Use Your Words to look like it is coming out of the polaroid camera.

Last but not least just a quick and simple 2×2 pocket using a Studio 1440 Use Your Words – word and some enamel dots from my stash.

So that my Studio 1440 friends is some of my embellishing in my December Daily using some goodies that you can find in the shop.
I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.
Sending love from Sunny Queensland.

FOCUS... on 2016

Hi everyone, as 2015's doors have closed it is time to FOCUS on the new chapter of 2016.
One of my goal for 2015 was to do a lots more blogging, I have to say I did, but not as much as I would have hoped.

This year is a new year so I plan on FOCUSing a lot more time into my blog.

2015 brought a lot of new opportunities to my creative side by being on my very first Design Teams. This year I will continue to find Design Team calls to apply for to share my creations with everyone,. I will also be staying on the Studio Fourteen 40 Team as a designer for their very funky flairs and embellishments.

This year I have decided to do Ali Edwards 'One Little Word' and the word I have chosen is 'FOCUS'.  I plan on using my word in everyday life and in my creations.

This year I am documenting my year yet again with Becky Higgins ' Project Life' but instead of weekly I will be doing monthly.

I do hope to introduce more than just my creative side on there with some of my photography, other documentation ideas and more.

 

I truly look forward to what 2016 will bring to my blog.

Youtube Videos

WOW!! That's all I can say. I haven't blogged for quite a few months, but it is Christmas school holidays now here in sunny Queensland, Australia so I have sixe whole weeks to do lots (hopefully) of blog posts.

Today I am sharing two YouTube videos I have done in the past few weeks, and hopefully I will be doing some more soon.

So my first video is a walk through of my December Daily I am doing this year. I will be defiantly be doing another video of this when I get my photos (which should be printing right now at my local photo lab).  

 

 

And the second video is of a haul I got at Spotlight last week. This was my very first haul video and hopefully when I do get more goodies I can do more videos like this.

 

 

 

So I hope you enjoyed watching these and I will be very soon with either more videos or layout shares.

 

Have a great day.

Project Life Share - Weeks 19, 21 & 23

Hello beautiful people, today I am here to finally share some Project Life layouts. It will be a little long blog post. Since I haven't done this layout share in a while I will be skipping a few weekly layouts as I have so many to share.

Today I will be sharing 3 layouts of Weeks 19, 21 and 23.

Week 19 -
So for this week of Project Life I based my cards around Amy Tangerine's "Rise and Shine" collection. I used just the 6x6 paper pad which I picked up at Spotlight here in Australia.

Left Side -

Right Side -

So I am have been the only one who kept their sticker from the desk during NAPLAN, but I wanted to put it in my album.

I made all these cards in the layout using the paper pad and some American Crafts white textured cardstock. I also added a few bits and pieces of embellishments, including some wood veneer, sequin trim and some tiny words.

And my title card is a piece of paper, some paper cut a parts, thickers and a cut a part calendar.

And just another title card for show time.

 

 

Week 21 -

This weeks layout is using the "Love Notes" Pocket page card kit. I love the beautiful water colour cards and love how this layout turned out.

 

This card kit include die cut cards: example, the green stripes. I just layered another 3x4 card under the die cut card because I didn't want it to be see through.

Just a different way to add a title. Add it straight onto the photo.

 

Week 23 -

And finally the last layout which is just a single page layout because I didn't do much this week. I used the beautiful Maggie Holmes,  Project Life core kit "Open Book".

 

Love, love how this photo turned out with some embellishments I had left over from the "Open Book "  collection.

Again I have just added some stickers right to the photo to add a title.

 

 

I hope you all enjoyed this blog post. I would love you to leave some love down in the comments, let me know what you liked in this post and what you would like to see here on my blog.

 

Have a great day/night.

Studio Fourteen 40 - GUEST DESIGNER - #2 - 'Lovely'

Hello beautiful people, I am back to share my second blog post over on the Studio Fourteen 40 blog.
Hope you enjoy.

Lydia xxx

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Hello beautiful Studio 1440 blog readers, I am happy to be back to share a quick card using some of the Studio 1440 embellishments.

The flair is from the Gelato collection and it added just a beautiful pop of colour to this card.



Oh My! I loved this 'Loved' wood veneer that you can find in the shop.

 

 

And as I mentioned in my previous blog post is that I love to add a little something where there is a little negative space, so I used my favourite wood veneer - Arrow Heads which finished this cute little card off.

 

Hope you liked this blog post and make sure to check out the shop and buy some goodies.

Studio Fourteen 40 - GUEST DESIGNER - #1 - 'Hello Warwick'

Hey there everyone, Lydia here to share my first creation using my goodies I received as part of being a Guest Designer.

So the first project to share with you today is a 12×12 traditional layout using Shimelle ‘True Stories’ Paper and lots of Studio 1440 embellishments.

 

I really enjoyed using the Studio 1440 embellishments on this layout. I think these gorgeous little additions just finish the page/project off.

 Here I used the Gelato – Use Your Words and the Everyday Life – Use Your Words. Also did I tell you I LOVE tiny words? They are just the perfect little piece of embellishment to add instead of journaling.

 Look how cute those Spunky Specs are, I loved them. I have no idea why I added it to this layout but it was just too darn cute. (Spunky Specs are located in the Laser Cut category) The flair is from the Gelato collection.

 

 



The Thrift Shop – Little Labelz  & the All the Details –  paper clips are perfect to add for a little space to journal.

 

 



I love to add a little something at the top corner of a layout if there is negative space and these Arrowhead and Arrow wood veneers were perfect as well as the Disco Fever Gems.

 

 

 



I hope you all enjoyed my first blog post here at Studio 1440 and can’t wait to share more creations.
