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

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"# Totally"

I adore this collection from Kaisercraft and decided that even though I was scrapping a photo of Master Z, I wanted to make a more "pretty" layout - one that I could keep as a memory for myself.

In this case, it's the answers to the Mothers Day interview (which turned up some very interesting results ...)

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Blessed" scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Blessed"

I just love these adorable photos - they really show the friendship and individuality of my boys.

I've used the title Blessed
and coated it with white heavy gesso before creating a ombre look by combining distress crayons

In the layout you'll also find the Nested circles
which I've covered with "Apple of my Eye" embossing powder.

Background is simply Colour Blast paste "Sunshine" applied through a stencil and paper layering.

I'm loving the bright and textured result of this page - especially with the vibrant photos. 

It was lots of fun and super easy to put together.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Catch of the Day" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Catch of the Day"

One of my challenges to myself in 2018 is to use my stash.
So I go to the back of my paper collections and must create something, using those papers.
Today it's an older collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

***

Firstly I chose a chipboard piece ...
the Catch of the day word is perfect for my fishing mad family!



I started with a white 12x12 cardstock background and then did some paper tearing - it's one of my favourite ways to add interest and texture.



Next, I covered my chipboard piece in white heavy gesso.
I also played around with placement and background elements - using the papers as inspiration for the triangle pieces.



I then adhered everything down and added some background stamping.



Using the collection as inspiration I added Colour Blast Shimmer Cube in "Deep Water" to the stamped circles with a few little splatters too.



To coordinate my chipboard I used Distress Crayons to achieve the desired colour.



I added a little bit of black around the chipboard title and added foam squares to the back, to help it lift off the page.

I generally add my journalling last - even if it's just a date or year - so that I know where the photo will fit in an album (when I eventually get around to putting them away LOL).

Here is the finished layout.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- Colour Blast DT --- "All the Good Things" Scrapbook Layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new project for Colour Blast

"All the Good Things"

For this page, I've taken my inspiration from the awesome A2Z Scraplets chipboard arrow frames.

I also wanted to showcase one of my favourtie colour combinations - blue + yellow = green!

For this page I've used the following

Colour Spray Carribean

Colour Spray Saffron

Colour Embossing Powder Sunshine, Apple of my eye and Just Blue

Colour Artist Ink Soot

***

Normally I start by working on my layout and I do like a horizontal page.

So to challenge my creativity I decided to work vertically.

I layed out the photos and the chipboard pieces down either side of my page.

I knew that my colour combo was going to be blue, yellow and green so I embossed each chipboard piece a different colour using the Colour Embossing Powder Sunshine, Apple of my eye and Just Blue.

I started with a white 12x12 cardstock background - no gesso required.

I used sprays Colour Spray Carribean and Saffron by spraying them onto packaging then smudging onto the layout.

While the spray is still wet, repeat with the alternate colour and they combine to make the three colours.

The background just needed something a little more, so I searched through my stash and came across this arrow stencil.

Then I added some splatters of Colour Artist Ink Soot.

I'd already selected the large title and kept the embellishing very minimal.

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "This is Everything" Scrapbook Layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"This is everything"

I very rarely do a double page but this paper collection from DCWV inspired me to create this double layout.



I have had these photos printed for such a long time and when I flipped through this paper pad, I knew they would be perfect.

I've teamed these papers with Crate Paper "Wild Heart" ephemera. It just works perfectly with the papers.

While working on this layout, I tried to think of ways to incorporate a little mixed media but each time I just couldn't bring myself to "mess" with this layout.
I eventually decided to simply stitch around each area of the patterned papers with black first then white thread.

I love the striking simplicity of the patterned papers.
