--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "A work of Heart" scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "A work of heart"

On this page I've used the "A Work of Heart" chipboard

I've colored it with black ink and then painted on Colour Blast Shimmer Spray "Bling" for that lovely gold shimmer.

Then I've painted the heart with red water colour to help it lift off the page.

To decorate the rest of my page, I chose to use blue and red as they were the colours in the photos.
I've used Colour Blast paste in "Just Blue" through a stencil and added minimal embellishments.

Finally I've done some journalling - Very important, don't forget to right the story.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

Scrap the Boys August Challenge "Funday"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout created for the August challenge at
Scrap the Boys.

My layout "Funday"

This months inspiration was

When I also saw the cut file inspiration, I had an idea ...

Now mostly when my ideas start out, they end up nothing like what I imagined.

I'm pleased to say that this one did!

I cut the geo leaves first and then laid them on white cardstock.

I then used Colour Blast sprays and shimmer sprays over the top.

Once dry, I lifted the coloured leaves and laid them on the layout for dimension.

Surprisingly, I hadn't chosen a photo before starting the page. When I went through the photo stash, I found this one of Master Z hunting for easter eggs beneath a tree! 

Couldn't believe it was just perfect!

Some paper layering and minimal embellishments really let the background shine.

I really feel like my mojo has been missing lately but I love how this one turned out. 

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Together" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Together"

I love how the photo can sometimes inspire the page.
I snapped this one of my new pup "Zara" all snuggled up with my big boy "Zeus".
I built some paper layers around the photo and then picked out some chipboard peices.

The Hearts in Rectangles makes a fabulous background piece.
I've coated mine with black gesso, then sprayed with Diamond Finish spray paint - quick & easy.

In the background I've used Distress Oxide Inks before stitching on a large circle.

Finally I've embellished the page with a Charms Creations chevron and some stickers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Fingers & Toes" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Fingers and Toes"

While recently looking through some baby albums I found a bunch of photos that hadn't been scrapped. So I'm working through some baby pics (even though my boys are now 5).

I started with the lovely Fingers and Toes chipboard.

I've used Colour Blast Embossing powder in "Indigo" to colour it.

I also discovered this super sweet "ABC" blocks chippie.

I decided to leave it a little raw.

I used water colours to highlight the letters and then used the Uniquely Creative sparkle pen to colour the edges.

Other elements on this page are watercolour background, paper frames, splatters, stickers and paper layers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Proud Much?!!!" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Proud Much"

I was lucky enough to head along to the Brisbane Scrapbook expo in June.

I took a class with Jenny Heaslip Scrapbooker

Jenny makes the most wonderful interactive pages.

I decided to go ahead and make one for this layout.

The front page folds back and reveals the journalling and a second photo.

I couldn't resist the Proud Much?!!!! Chipboard

At the Scrapbook expo I also picked up some of the new Colour Blast embossing powders, this one "Sparkling Sands" is just exactly like the name.

Other elements on this page are from the Kaisercraft Stargazer collection.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- White with 1 CT --- August colour reveal "That Smile"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm also sharing a page inspired by the August challenge at
White ... with 1

My layout : "That Smile"

Seriously, yellows are my favourite colour to use.
So I raided my stash and gathered everything I could find inspired by the "Sunny Yellow" theme.

This was one of those pages where it all just worked!
I think the photo is very important and this super cute B&W was so easy to work with.

Thanks for visiting.

I look forward to seeing your creations.

Happy Scrapping!

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Memory" Challenge page + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

Did you know that over in the Facebook group we have a monthly challenge.

Here is my inspiration page ...

My layout "Memory"

I just love the colours of this months moodboard and those butterflies = sigh!

I had a grid pattern in mind, so I gathered some project life cards, some 3x4 photos and a couple of chipboard pieces.

The Camera Squares are one of my fav chipboards - I love how it looks poking out of this cluster.

I've also used the Circle Set and some sweet Butterflies.

For the border, I've added some stripes with Distress Crayons and smudged them.
It needed a little something extra, so I also added some texture stamping.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.
