Live A Beautiful Life

 

I've got another layout today which I made a couple of months ago and haven't shared here yet. I have been lucky enough to work with a lovely and super talented crafter and now it seems photographer Shirley Hampshire Towan! Shirley needed a baby to practice her photography and I just happened to have a 12 week old niece who was growing way too fast for my liking.

 

So Shirley was nice enough to photograph her. And look at one of the results below! Isn't that photo amazing? I didn't want it to get lost in all the flowers and papers like most photos do these days. We seem to like putting tiny photos on a big page and not vice versa.

 

 

 

As usual this photo of my layout does no justice to the photo and layout in person, but hopefully you get the idea :)

 

I'll be back tomorrow to share a Steampunk Canvas. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Mothers Day! And some layouts to share!

Everybody knows my Labradors are my life!

So today I am sharing a few layouts I have done with my labs on them. Firstly below is a layout with the gorgeous Graphic 45 Raining Cats and Dogs Collection! I have to say this collection is the BEST animal collection I have ever seen!

 

Yes, we have all seen the cutesy same old papers with cartoon fire hydrants on them and plain old paw print papers. But honestly it was about time someone gave us animal lovers some real paper with real substance to scrap our beloved animals. And if anyone was going to deliver that it was always going to be Graphic 45!

 

 

You may have also noticed that Kaisercraft came out with a pet collection of papers too called Furry Friends! I really liked this range as the colours were nice and neutral. Unlike a pet range they brought out quite a few years ago that was purples and blues. It just wasn't nice back then lol. But I am loving this range because it is so versatile.

 

 

 

A Kaisercraft Collection I must have missed last year was Bow and Arrows. It is now a deleted line of Kaisercrafts. But is it gorgeous with its feathers, arrows and gentle colour palette. Again a very versatile collection.

 

That's it for today, but thanks for taking the time to stop by!

Happy Mother's Day!

Mixed Media Canvas

A few months ago Kaisercraft brought out a New Collection called 'Shine Bright'!

 

I loved this collection for three reasons.

 

1. Being that the colour yellow reminds me of my beloved dog Missy Precious. And this collection has a lot of yellow!

2. It has the words 'You are my sunshine' printed on some items. I always called Missy Precious my little ray of sunshine and I would sing 'You are my sunshine my only sunshine ..... " to her when she wasn't well. I also got the first line of that song tattooed on my inner wrist and forearm when she passed away, right next to her paw tattoo.

3. It is called 'Shine Bright' and my last name is Bright lol!

 

So as you can see it was a match made in heaven!

 

 

So I made a sort of Mixed Media Explosion Canvas with a very bad picture of Missy Precious and myself. Unfortunately I never got many pictures of us together so I used what I had.

 

I cut open the canvas and glued another framed canvas to the rear of the orginal to make a shadow box.

 

These two photos give you a better idea of the dimension of the project.

 

Ow and here is a photo of the tattoo mentioned earlier :)

 

 

 

Thanks so much for visiting!

Enjoy your weekend :)

Unshared Scrapping

 

I've been neglecting my blog this year haven't I?

I must admit it is easier to use and update my facebook page Cassandra Bright - Mixed Media Artist/Teacher on a regular basis. But it also hasn't helped that when we moved house last year, we went from living in a area with fast broadband internet to a area with plain of crappy internet speed, which means uploading pictures is a nightmare lol. I am not a person of patience when it comes to technology that is for sure!

Anyway here are a few pages I still had not shared here on my blog.

 

 

This layout above is of my gorgeous niece Esma when she was little. She is now 3 years old!

 

This layout above is of my beloved Missy Precious who is in heaven xo

 

And this layout above is of my precious niece Viola who is only 7 months old. She was born the day before my birthday! So I am very excited to have someone to basically share my birthday with from now on.

 

Thank you for taking the time to look at my pages. I'll be sharing some more projects I have worked on tomorrow :)
