 Yup, it has been a massively long time between blogs indeed.  However, a lot has been going on, even to the point where I have moved for one final time!  Closer to the coast where there is much mire room overlooking the river on many acres.  Life is wonderfully good.  I have a fantastic new creative space which is huge and is also quite full.   I have a new love which is building these kit mini houses and I have done quite a few, but mire about those in another post.  I have quite a few new ones to share, but I shall start with these two.  The first is for a baby girl, very sweet colours with a clear message.  The 2nd one is a yellow beauty with no clear message... as of yet! Enjoy!  

Layouts to do with the ocean or the beach are always my most favourite layouts to do and this one was no exception either.  i got to use lots of Dusty Attic chippies throughout along with various pieces of Kaisercraft ephemera.  To create the netting I had an old netted bag that onions and lemons and limes comes in, then painted it with a few coats of white gesso and it worked absolutely brilliantly.   Just one picture for this one.  See you next time, Delia

This was a very pretty and enjoyable layout to do, I very much enjoy doing orange layouts for some reason, but even when I had my graphic design business I used a deep yellow alot as it works with so much.  Funny.

Choose Happy - what a truly great choice to make!  I noticed years ago how much pink and orange go together.  Weird, but they just do.  Below is a pretty layout using just these colours featuring the gates that I totally grunged up using the various rust effect pastes. That's it for this one!  See you at the next post. smiles, Delia

Time to get my act back together and start showing off my creativity once again!  Despite my lack of posting, I have actually been doing quite alot.  Challenging myself with some projects and then churning out lots of scrapbook pages and enjoying every minute of it. Firstly, a couple of canvases, the first one was very challenging.  I even threw it out at one point and then went back and got it out of the bin and kept going and I do love the finished product. The second canvas I did in landscape format using pretty Finnabair and Dusty Attic stencils, plus some lovely Dusty Attic chipboard pieces.  I am trying to teach myself to do the heavy layering that so many of my favourite scrapbooking artists do.  Personally, I find it extremely challenging to do as so much goes on and gets covered up I just don't seem to be able to find my peace with it.  Anyway, this is my attempt and I am very happy with it, plus it was extremely enjoyable to do! ...

I have been playing once again with my AltairArt collection utilising two different collections - Sunrise and EverDream collections.  Sunrise 5 is a beautiful paper, I really love the colouring throughout this paper and it made the perfect background.  Strangely, I was in a dark mood when I sat down to be creative and so I wanted to grunge the design up a bit.  So I did and I initially spread some white modelling paste in my creative areas and then I used graphite texture paste through a graffiti type Dusty Attic stencil.  After that, out came the sprays and I splattered and dribbled them around the page.   Once this was dry, I started building up my photo matte and then on goes the process of lace, ribbon, ephemera and plenty of flowers, finished off with some bling.  Close ups below.  Hope you like it.  To see more of my work, please go to www.jacobicreations.com

Okay, so yes, I am back!  Been away for a few months as I changed my life from being a city chick and becoming a farm chick!!  It has been an amazing ride.  I now live on an 8000 acre cattle property after coming for an interview for a nanny and falling in love with the absolute love of my life.  So, I guess I became a stepmum almost overnight and living on a farm with cattle, driving utes and four wheel drives on many a dirt road and having to drive at least an hour to get groceries.  I love it all, my life is how it was always meant to be and I am more happy than I can possibly describe.   Finding time to be creative has been most difficult, first of all I had no space, but found a table outside, but then the weather caused all sorts of issues even though it was undercover.  Some more accommodation was added to the house which freed up another large room and then that has become the classroom and my craft room.  So, I finally have some spac...
