Jacobi Creations

 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.

Definitely one of my favourite layouts currently, alot of my green layouts I do like alot to be honest.  This one is for the World's Greatest Dad and perhaps I need to keep this one for myself and put the Dad that is my beautiful partner in it, well, not him, just a picture of him!  I used the pretty chipboard of little hearts from Dusty Attic in this along with one of their stencils.  Anyway, I hope you like it. Wishing you fun in your creative journey, see you again soon, Delia

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! ...

Greetings all I have been super creative lately and this is very much due to my new craft room which is actually rather fantastic!  Best craft area to date and actually my very last one!  Very much custom designed for me so it works.  Up until now it has been somewhat difficult to be creative as I had moved and it was hard to get a properly established place. So, the creativity has been happening in leaps and bounds of late and here are a few pieces to show for my productivity.

Hello All, What a busy month, but every month is in the second half of the year!  Time to share my recent Altair Art creations for this month.  I kind of got into the Christmas season a little early as some new papers were released, but they are my 2 pieces for the blog, first I want to show you my piece for the theme for this month.  The theme for the month over at Altair Art is "sparkle and shine" in the artwork, so here is my contribution. The next two pieces are where I got Christmassy.  The first using the new Altair Art Christmas papers, see below: And my final Christmassy piece is a nice blue one, still using Altair Art papers, just not the specific Christmas ones.   I hope you like them all and have fun entering your own piece for the theme of the month.  Well, enjoy yourselves, have fun and always find time to be creative.

After my big move I have not really had time to play with my Silhouette machines and so they have sat in situ for a few months now and so I decided to crank them up today since I had to quickly churn out a challenge inspirational project for Altair Art since I once again got the rules wrong!  Ho hum, details, details, details.  I am actually very sorry Anka. So, the theme is celebration and my 2 projects I have done for the month are to do with a new baby and so I did a boy scrapbooking layout and a girl scrapbooking layout.  For the inspirational piece I have chosen to go with birthday celebration and did a kind of flower display I guess.  I got the file from simplysvgcuts.com and off we went.  It was all pretty easy to assemble and then I added in a few more elements that I die cut out on my Sizzix machine, just to add a bit more to the layout. It is ok as a finished product, but not really my sort of thing.  I might even play around with it and see i...
