--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Amazing" Scrapbook Layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"Amazing"

For this layout, I've used the delicious Simple Stories "I am" collection.



Although it features some florals, I felt the colours and patterns would work well for boys layouts too.



Teamed up with a background of Colour Blast paste "Sunshine" = Winning!!!

This is a sweet, simple page, easy to put together with just a touch of medium added.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Fantastic Autumn Day" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Fantastic Autumn Day"

In the A2Z Scraplets Store you will find some great "Summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring" titles.

For this page, I've used the Autumn word and decided to make it a real title focus.

I started by cutting the word "Day" with the Silhouette Cameo and then I wanted to raise it up and put some colour behind it.

The Autumn word has two coats of Colour Blast Embossing Powder "Apple of my Eye"

The colour inspiration for this page, came from the photos. Master Z playing in this fun green playground equipment.

I decided to focus on those green colours - I added Colour Blast sprays to the background and then lots of distressed stamping around the edges.

I really like how different this page is to my usual paper style layouts and as a bonus it was really easy and fun to put together.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- Colour Blast DT --- "Cone of Shame" Scrapbook layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new project for Colour Blast

"Cone of Shame"

For this page I've used the following

Colour Embossing Powder Deep Water & Singin the Blues

Colour Paste Steel

Colour Artist Inks Calypso

Black heavy gesso

***

I started firstly with this photo that's been in my stash for awhile and I never really got the courage to scrap it.

Today was the day ...

I chose some chipboard pieces and teamed them with Colour Embossing Powder Deep Water & Singin the Blues

 

Next, I put together a background.

I didn't plan to back the triangles with patterned paper but that's how it ended up.

But it's all looking a little clean ...

Black heavy gesso to the rescue!

I created a messy border around the outside of the white cardstock.

I have a bit of a star theme going on, so I decided to roll with it and hand draw some stars on my bckground.

Then I painted the stars with Colour Artist Inks Calypso - I like them to be a little messy and outside the lines.

I've used my Silhouette to create the word "Shame".

I wanted to use the colour paste in a slightly different way and see what hapenned.

So I spread some on my craft mat, added a little water and then used a paint brush to add the paste to the title.

You can see it's created this really cool textured finish - the photo doesn't do it justice.

You should definitely give this a go, it's such a cool result.

***

Here is the layout "The cone of Shame"

and some close ups ...

I'm so pleased with the result - it definitely highlights the photo and I love how the title tells a great story.

CSI Challenge Blog - May challenge Scrapbook Layout "Memories"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout created for the challenge at
CSI Challenge Blog

"Memories"

The inspiration for this page comes from this board ....

As with the old style CSI challenge you are given some tasks. I decided to play along with these.

EVIDENCE

• stripes
• washi tape
• leaves/branches
• hand-drawn elements
• paint
• circles

TESTIMONY (JOURNALING IDEAS)

• Topic: Document something about your creative hobby.
• Presentation: Handwrite your journaling.
• Inspiration Words: creative

Looking through my printed photo stash, I found this one of my Lego house - a gift to myself at Christmas.

It got me thinking about creativity (inspiration word).

My journalling explains that in a house full of lego mad boys what else are you gonna do? Join Em'

I quite enjoy sitting down with a pile of lego and getting creative.

I used acrylic paint to make background stripes, hand drew some elements from the moodboard and chose paper and embellishments from the colour scheme.

I had such fun with this challenge and really like the resulting layout.

Thanks for visiting.

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Little Cutie" Scrapbook layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"Little Cutie"

This "Pen & Ink" collection from Kaisercraft is so pretty - but I love that it's really neutral and perfect for boys pages.

I am gradually working my way through an old pile of DH childhood photos for an album for him and  these were just perfect for this collection.

I've teamed the paper collection with some Colour Blast paste in "Leather"

Thankfully, this is one of those layouts that really came together so easily - that's what I love about paper collections.

You can find all of these products at
