--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "My dreams 2018" Scrapbook Layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

Today I've got a layout to share for Scrapbook Boutique 

"My dreams 2018"



How lovely is the "Misty Mountains" collection from Kaisercraft.
I adore the patterns and palette of these papers.



Now I'm a little late to the whole filter thing with photos but I've discovered it ...
and what a cute way to record our pictures.



I decided that I was going to make this page about me and my feelings for 2018.
So I've typed up some (quite random) thoughts and feelings and added them to the back of the page.

I didn't have a plan when creating this page.
The cut file really helped with the position of items and I love how the paper looks behind it.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Xoxoxo" Scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "xoxoxo"

Not only am I stash busting my way through 2018, but I'm getting through some photos too.
This is an oldie but I really wanted to record it.
I chose colours reflecting the photo - navy, blue and white.

Cooper loves to tell Pop stories so I thought the "xoxoxo" chipboard word would make a great title.

I gave it a coat of white gesso, coloured with Distress Crayons and then sealed with Colour Blast "Snow White" embossing powder.

As the page was developing and I was creating layers, I added the
Chipboard Frame
simply covered with Colour Blast "Steel" embossing powder

Background featuring Colour Blast sprays.

The rest of the page features some paper layering and stickers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- Colour Blast DT --- "Just Live' Art Journal page + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new project for Colour Blast

"Just Live"

I'm very green when it comes to art journalling, however ...

I found it's very fun to create without the pressure of coordinating a photo and a memory.

I love the creative outlet.

So if your new to art journalling or have never tried it before ...

Give it a go, check out a class, watch a YouTube video or just create.

For this creation I have used:

Colour Paste Singing the Blues

Colour Paste Royalty

Black heavy gesso

White heavy gesso

Colour embossing powder Bling

***

I'm using a Strathmore soft cover journal and have not prepped my page.
Using a spatula, spread the Colour Paste Singing the Blues in stripes onto the page.

Allow to dry naturally then repeat with Colour Paste Royalty

I use a scrap piece of paper to protect my opposite journal page.

Choose your stencil and attach it with washi tape.

Sponge the Black heavy gesso across the paste.

Peel back the stencil and clean it straight away - sometimes the gesso stains the stencil.

Once dry, water down some of the White heavy gesso and using a fan brush, add some splatters to the page.

Also, brush the watered down gesso around the page to create a frame.

I've created a simple title, by cutting it with the Silhouette Cameo and layering the same cut various times.

I then added two coats of Colour embossing powder Bling.

I really like the pop of colour behind the black gesso.

This was fun and easy to create with quite a striking result - especially when flicking through the pages of my art journal.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Celebrate" scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Celebrate"

Inspiration for this page came from the photo.

It was so bright and fun and I really wanted my layout to feel the same.

I left the Celebrate circle word plane, with just a coat of black gesso.

With so many bright elements, I added some Colour Blast "Singin the Blues" paste 

My paste got a little messy and I ended up with quite a bit extra on my white background - I covered this up by adding some blue splatters.

I've embellished the page quite lightly with some wood pieces, stickers and a flair.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Party" Scrapbook layout collaboration with Therese

 Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing Part 2 of the collabration between myself and Therese from "Lost in Paper"  for Scrapbook Boutique 

"Party"

What fun I have had created a lovely Birthday layout.
I started by creating a photo collage and using that as my story.



I wanted this page to be quite bright and fun, so I've used primarily blue, green and orange colours.

Coming up with a title for the page was the most difficult part of the layout.
I ended up cutting some white cardstock using the Silhouette Cameo and colouring with Distress Crayons.
