Seems like a lifetime ago I wrote a blog post but I have a spare afternoon so I thought I would share with you all a layout I created for the 7dots Studio Challenge. <a href="http://7dotsstudio.com/archives/14494" target="_blank">Here is the link for the challenge</a>. </center>

I have used some leftovers from the Domestic Goddess range (which is now an oldie being from Summer 2012!). I love the bright burgundy colours in this range and have teamed it up with lots of mixed media.</center>

<center>
<span style="font-family: inherit;"> </span></center>
<center>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is a themed blog hop and all our layouts are clues and you must try and guess the theme and post your answer on the Scrapbooking Memories blog </span><a href="http://www.scrapbookingmemories.com.au/" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">HERE</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. </span></center>

<span style="color: blue;"><span lang="EN-AU" style="color: #1f497d;"></span></span><span style="font-family: inherit;">Here is my layout... it's about my recent allergy tests as I suffer all the time from hayfever! I found that I am highly allergic to most things and am starting desensitisation at the end of the month! I hope this is a start to being allergy free *fingers crossed* and not living off antihistamines. </span></center>

<span style="font-family: inherit;"></span> </center>

Hi there</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
How are you all going?</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I'm not sure if you have seen my You Tube Channel just yet but I am slowly adding videos and sharing some of my techniques on there. I am trying to keep things sweet and short so as not to bore you too much and I also 'speak' and 'talk things through' in my videos (I hate my voice but I think speaking is the easiest way to relay information)... </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Anyways this is a layout I created for my Paperhaus blog day and I have put below the link to my You Tube video on how I created some of the background effects. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>

Also for my monthly technique post I made up a short video. Only 3 mins long but shows a very simple technique I use on my layouts for wet stamping with gelatos. </center>

Hi..... well from a long holiday from Blogger I am surely back. Think you must be getting sick of me by now! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
One of my fave paper manufacturers is Crate Paper and I loved their <a href="http://crate.typepad.com/cratepaper/2013/08/it-is-the-end-of-our-navy-blue-sequin-august-creative-weekly-now-its-your-turn-to-give-the-flashy-theme-a-try-our.html" target="_blank">August Creative Challenge</a> which is Navy Blue and Sequins. Now who doesn't love this combo? </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So I had to go through my papers and find some navy blue. I found there were some Navy Blue in the Maggie Holmes range along with the Random collection which was release a little while ago. And it's always so much fun scrapping with your leftovers as this means lots of layers of unique shapes. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I don't know why but pie charts came into my mind so I thought, Okay I can do them! I kept them simple and used the same paper for each pie chart but cut on each section to give dimension. I also outlined them with lead pencil followed by an ink marker and used gelatos to shadow underneath and stamped with them in gold on top. Once again with sequins I clustered them. This time I added the glue and just sprinkled them and let them sit where they fell. This gives a great 'randomness' to my page. My other embellishments consist of Crate Paper stickers, pins some gold thread AND I LOVE the gold thickers. I used a pop of pink and yellow just to finish it off with a polaroid frame from the Maggie Holmes collection.</center>

Hello hello!! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
It feels so good to be able to have some time to scrap some extra layouts lately. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have used the <a href="http://sketchbook365.blogspot.com.au/2013/08/september-sketch-challenge.html" target="_blank">Sketchbook 365 sketch</a> for inspiration to create this layout. I have mirrored the photo but kept pretty much everything the same, I have just added my usual extra embellishments and layers. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
At the moment I am in love with sequins. I am finding them bunched all together creates a gorgeous embellishment cluster. I have used the most pretty papers again, Carta Bella Hello Again (<a href="http://www.paperstories.com.au/" target="_blank">available at Paper Stories</a>) and teamed it up with a MME Nostalgia layered sticked 'love'. I have also used gelatos for an extra wash of colour and gesso to distress. </center>

Hello again! funny that because it's the name of the paper range I have been working with... the beautiful Carta Bella Hello Again range by Kaitlin Sheaffer. The colours are just beautiful and perfect for this photo of my little girl and her new cousin, Katie. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have layered up heaps of papers, stickers and cottons and then wrapped the photo in some Maya Road twine. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
For the background I used a Faber-Castell Gelato in soft pink and rubbed it onto a piece of baking paper and then wet it down and pressed it onto the white cardstock to get the water coloured effect. To add a mixed media feel I gently swiped the edges of the papers etc with gesso, and lightly drew some heart shapes onto the white background. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
"Best Friends"</center>

Hello! seems like I have been missing in action once again! </center>
<center>
I have been busy creating but not blogging. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I am thrilled to be staying on with the <a href="http://www.paperstories.com.au/index.html" target="_blank">Paper Stories</a> Design Team and working alongside the amazingly talented <a href="http://startingtoscrap.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Georgia Heald</a> and <a href="http://onescrappydoctor.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Natalie Elphinstone</a>.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So I have been busy creating for <a href="http://www.paperstories.com.au/index.html" target="_blank">Paper Stories</a> and I have designed two pages for the latest kit "Snapshot". This kit comes with the instructions to create 2 single layout mixed media pages in my signature style. It is an awesome kit and I really enjoyed working with it. Here is a preview of my layouts. You will be able to delve a little bit into my workings when creating a layout and the layers and steps I use in putting them together. You can find the <a href="http://www.paperstories.com.au/p/1084/Snapshot-2-Page-Kit---by-Anita-Stokes.html" target="_blank">kit here</a>.</center>

Well Hello!!!!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Seems like forever ago I blogged and actually that's the truth!!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Been a hectic few months for me and I can not believe it is June already! where have the first 5 months gone?? I have still been creating. I have made 2 smallish canvas' and a few layouts for the magazine but just been keeping things to minimum. If you follow me on Instagram (you can find the link in my sidebar) I share peeks when I'm creating. And also post snapshots of layouts in process too. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
In a few weeks we are off on holidays for a mid year break. Can't wait to sit back and relax. Should be fun. Hope the kiddies are well behaved for the plane trip!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
As the new month is here - 6 days into it, here is my layout for the Paper Stories sketch challenge. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
My layout is of my sisters brand new baby and my little boy. He loves "baby katie" to bits!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have used an older Glitz range teamed up with a Maggie Holmes patterned paper for the background. I distress the paper with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink by folding the paper and inking the creases. A bit of stamping, layers of paper and Prima and VOILA! </center>
<center>

I have used a combination of alcohol inks and water colours to create the background. I love the viabrancy of the alcohol ink and how it works over the top of gesso. </center>

Me AGAIN!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have been busy creating but not blogging, so this morning I got out my camera and started photoing my layouts. With no sunny days ahead here in Perth I had to make the most of the morning sun. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
This layout is for the <a href="http://prima.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Prima BAP</a>. I have rotated it and then flipped it to suit. I have used the <a href="http://www.paperstoriesstore.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Paper Stories Love of a Lifetime kit</a> which is full of Engraver and Lifetime papers. I have added some extra Prima products like the lightbulb and birds. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have been experimenting lately with Luminartes H2O's and I am loving the watercolours. A warning to you that the next few layouts I post will be full of more watercolour backgrounds! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I love the clear pebbles with Helmars 450 used to glue them down and it has created air bubbles underneath.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
A more traditional flower clusters but with a mixed media twist. </center>

a very good morning to you all! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
quickly popping in to share my layout for the <a href="http://sketchbook365.blogspot.co.uk/2013_03_01_archive.html" target="_blank">Sketchbook 365 sketch</a>. The sketch did throw me and yes I have added my touches but the base is still there - i promise! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have used Teresa Collins papers to create this layout of my husband. It's not the best pic of him but they are so hard to get. I normally just get a blank look and here he is at Yallingup Beach relaxing with a beer. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have used the most awesome watercolours - Luminarte H2O's. They provide shimmer with a highly pigmented watercolour. Must get my hands on more of these!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So here is my layout</center>
<center>
"You Are My World"</center>

Hello!!! and good morning. Its a cold one here in WA, got my dressing gown on to keep me warm!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I had my sisters baby shower on Saturday which is why I have been so quiet on my blog lately. I will share some pics soon of what I created for her Baby Shower. It was a lovely afternoon and we all had a great time! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Times running out so thought I'd better post my layout for the Glitz/Gossamer Blue GD contest. There are soooo many inspirational layouts that have been entered! head on over to their FB pages and have a look. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I created my page with Glitz Unchartered Waters collection. LOVE the colours and all the cute little elements! I have added my usual touches with mists/layering etc.</center>

This layout is verrry experimental. I have tried a few new techniques and is full on Mixed Media. If you pop over to the<a href="http://www.paperstoriesstore.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/love-of-lifetime-kit-layout-2.html" target="_blank"> Paper Stories blog</a> you can read a bit more about how I created the layout and </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Also the winners for the Feb sketch have been annouced. Everybodies layouts were just awesome and it is soooo hard to choose. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So here is my next layout using the Paper Stories Love of Lifetime kit. </center>

hello hello!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I really can not believe it... it's March already! where has the first two months of 20-13 gone?</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
On Saturday I attended Finnabairs classes here in Perth and WOW she blew my mind. Such a talented lady! So glad to have been able to learn some of her techniques! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
March is jammed pack full for me. Saturday I'm teaching a class at Made With Memories. It's a cute little Owl canvas and would suit a little girls room check out the <a href="http://madewithmemories.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/classes-available-this-month.html" target="_blank">details here</a>. I have my sisters baby shower which I have been making lots of cute things for. And then at the end of the month we are off for the Easter Long Weekend which should be lovely and relaxing! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So as it is March, that means a new sketch challenge over at <a href="http://www.paperstoriesstore.blogspot.com.au/2013/03/march-sketch-challenge.html" target="_blank">Paper Stories</a>. Em at Page Drafts has created another great sketch for you to work with. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Here is my take on it.... using Crate Paper Maggie Holmes range</center>

Hi!! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Hope you have all been well unlike me. I seem to have had a double dose of the flu. Ended up on anti-b's and some other meds to get it all under control. Fingers crossed I am on the up side of the down. And with feeling better comes creating. Seems like forever since I shared something!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I received an awesome pack in the mail on Friday .... it was the most beautiful kit from <a href="http://www.paperstories.com.au/" target="_blank">Paper Stories - it is the "Love of a Lifetime" kit</a>. This contains the newly released Prima Lifetime & Engraver papers along with Prima embellishments and some other bits and pieces. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Now I have my first blog post up on the <a href="http://www.paperstoriesstore.blogspot.com.au/2013/02/just-because-love-of-lifetime-kit.html" target="_blank">Paper Stories blog</a> so please go and check my layout out over there because I have some tips and tricks of how I put it all together! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
And they have a <a href="http://www.paperstoriesstore.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/february-sketch-challenge.html" target="_blank">current sketch challenge</a> with an awesome prize so make sure you get your layout in!!! I have had a quick look and the entries so far are just amazing!!! </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Now last month I was busy creating for the Sketchbook 365 Feb sketch and not 1, not 2 but 3 times my kids destroyed this layout. It was looking so so beautiful and the sketch was so different to what I would normally create. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
The first time my boy painted on it with white gesso - so thats an easy fix.... </center>
<center>
Second time he got to it with StazOn - rubbing the ink pad over the background, which he probably sees me do with the Tim Holtz pads, then he got to my Pritt glue and added a puddle. So no way I could recover this!</center>
<center>
Ok.... third time. I restarted everything from scratch and salvaged what I could from my first attempt. I was nearly finished just had to glue a few bits and pieces down but then my TWO kids got into my craft room and destroyed this layout. April - well she went psyco with the gesso. Hand in the tub and was finger painting (yes prob learnt from me) and Nathan well he at least had a paint brush OH and the Pritt glue and Staz On. Let's just say there was no return from this and had to give in as I had no paper which I could recover.</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
If anyone has the Prima Songbird 'Tags' paper in their stash please let me know cause thats all I need to try again.... maybe 4th time lucky?? </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So I seen the<a href="http://sketchbook365.blogspot.co.uk/2013/02/march-challenge.html" target="_blank"> Sketchbook 365 March sketch</a> and I looove sketches always a great staring point and so I began creating with the "Love of a Lifetime" kit from Paper Stories. </center>
<center>
I am in love with Scrap365 magazine. The layouts always always are amazing so wanted to make a mixed media layout as they really embrace the style in the mag. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So here is my layout. I will stop my waffling on. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
"Just Because" </center>

Hi!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Its a lovely HOT Sunday here in Perth. It's meant to get to 40 plus degrees so I'm trying to keep cool in the air con. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I better mention about my blog candy <a href="http://sweetneatz.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/as-promised-my-scrap-stash-giveaway.html" target="_blank">giveaway here</a>!!.... It closes on the 15th Feb so please become a follower of mine and comment on <a href="http://sweetneatz.blogspot.com.au/2013/01/as-promised-my-scrap-stash-giveaway.html" target="_blank">this post</a> to be in the running. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I want to share a canvas I made for my sisters baby girl soon to be born in May using the Kaiser Sugar Pop collection which my local scrap store, <a href="http://www.christytomlinson.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Made With Memories</a> gave me to work with for my DT pack. I have seen soooo many lovely projects using this range over the past week.... I wanted to do something a little bit different. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
Yes, it's bright and very girly and not normally a 'me' kind of range but I knew it would be perfect for a little girls nursery and I wanted to make a "She Art" type of canvas.... I will call it my "Owl Art". </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
This project was awesome to create and it all came together so easy. I have used some of the super duper talented <a href="http://www.christytomlinson.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Christy Tomlinson</a> techniques to pull this all together and added a few elements of me too :) . When I watch Christy's You Tube tutorials she creates soooo many different layers of colours and textures. Christy is just amazing at what she does and blows my mind with her artistic genius!!</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
I have used her She Art mask with texture paste and bright pink paint mixed with Jo Sonjas glitter gel for a bit of sparkle. I have also used my fave Crafters Workshop template which I have offset the pattern and used two different colour blue paint for this. And the teal eyes and pink wings of the Owl are Heidi Swapps Colorshine. Then to finish everything off I used my trusty Sharpie marker for the doodling. I wish I was a bit more adventurous with my doodling but I didn't want to go overboard. </center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
</center>
<center>
So here it is.... my "Owl Art"</center>
<center>
