*** Mystical Scrapbook DT *** August Inspiration 12x12 Layout "Friends" with process video

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a new page for  Mystical Scrapbooks.

"Friends"

For this layout I've been playing with 

Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection

These papers already have a mixed media feel so not much extra was needed - but to create some texture I've added some distressing and paper scrunching. 

To embellish I've used some CVS Flair buttons

I love to do interesting things with chipboard.

So for this "Friends" chipboard, I've firstly coated it with acrylic paint.

Then I've covered the upper part with washi tape so I can add the glitter to the bottoms part.

I cover the lower section with tacky glue then sprinkle with glitter.

Once the glitter is dry, I spray with a sealant. 

To finish, I've added a little bit of fussy cutting and some die cut pieces.

Here is the process video:

Happy creating!

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** Cybercrop Challenge reveal July

   Hi Crafters

It's cybercrop challenge time over at Mystical Scrapbooks.

Your challenge is to use 

Here is my inspiration:

I'm really enjoying creating with 9x12 at the moment.

 It challenges my creativity but also I can fit a lot more pages on my shelves.

So I've started with wood paper.

Then I've added the mixed media element which is acrylic paint through the Kaisercraft Line Art stencil.

I chose some 3x4 photos and mounted them on black - to give them a little pop. 

I've used the Uniquely Creative Brick die on white cardstock, leaving it plain behind the photo and colouring it with distress ink under the "Brave" word. 

I've finished with some star embellishments and wood pieces.

Thanks for visiting

Mystical Scrapbooks DT - October Inspiration - Finishing my December Daily from 2019

  Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing inspiration for Mystical Scrapbooks..

Each year I participate in December Daily ...

It's an album dedicated to all things December.

I love Christmas and looking through the albums is so much fun.

So today I'm sharing that with you. 

I've used the  

Uniquely Creative Once Upon A Christmas collection.

--- White with ... 1 --- June Scrapbook layout "Love"

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook layout created for the challenge over at

White with ... 1

My layout "Love"

This month the team challenged us to create white on white with the colour

"Whisper"

So I started with white cardstock - easy!

Then I pulled out a doily for texture and then raided my embellishment box - which are all sorted by colour. So I grabbed some white hearts, the love word and the feather.

Next I had to find the photo ... I couldn't go past this one from our wedding - 10 years ago!!!!!

I used a Kinder Kreations Spring Bouquet Stencil stencil with the Crafters Workshop "Shimmery Goodness" paste to create more interest and texture.

I'm so pleased with how this layout turned out and it took less than an hour!

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

--- Off the Rails Scrapbooking DT --- November Boho challenge Scrapbook Layout + video tutorial

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for the November challenge over at
Off the Rails Scrapbooking.

My layout "Loving Life"

This month we'd like to inspire you with this "Boho" themed moodboard.

Straight up ... this was really hard for me!
I'm definitely not a fan of the boho and I'm more a brights/bold kind of person.

So I did a little googling of "boho" and discovered arrows, florals and feathers.
Next I looked for a photo and decided this would be a good opportunity to scrap a picture of myself.

Finally I've gotten into my stash and put together this page.
You can see it here in this video ...

Thanks for watching and can't wait to see your creations.

Happy Scrapping.

--- White... with 1 CT --- November challenge reveal "Sweet" Scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Sorry for being so absent on my blog lately.
Lots going on behind the scenes.

Today though, I'd like to share my layout for the November challenge at
White ... with 1

"Sweet"

I Scraplifted this layout after discovering it on Pinterest.

It's created by the fabulous Flore

I think this is her blog, but if I'm incorrect, please let me know.

http://scrapfloring.over-blog.com/

We want you to create a layout inspired by the moodboard and featuring "Orange Blaze"

Looking through my photo stash, I found this photo of Master Z on an orange slide.

Then it was just a matter of collecting anything orange from my stash.

For my background I've used Vicki Boutin watercolour tubes and spread them with the tube.

I added a couple of black elements and stamping to help lift the layout.

I'm so pleased with how this one turned out.

Thank you Flore for the scrap lift inspiration.

Happy Crafting.

Scrap the Boys - July Challenge 'Hello" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new page created for
Scrap the Boys July challenge.

"Hello"

I just couldn't go past the star themed inpsiration this month.

I added the stars to the background with Colour Blast paste "Just Blue"

I love the big letter title and just for something a little different I created my cluster on the vertical instead of horizontal.

Thanks so much for visiting.

--- CSI Challenge blog --- July 1st scrapbook layout reveal - Case File No. 257

Hi Scrap Friends

I'm pleased to announce that I've joined the team at CSI Challenge blog

My first reveal is a fun project "Look"

Case File No. 257

My inspiration came firstly from the glasses!

I wanted to create a page all about seeing and the eyes.

I had a look through my stash and found this photo of Master Z who was pretty excited about something (I don't remember what).



I've titled the page "Look".

My other inspiration was
- leaves
- glasses
- black and white pattern
-string

I documented a day at the beach.

I love the striking patterns of this page with the little pops of turquoise.

It was easy to put together and ticks the 2018 box - stash busting!!!

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

--- 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.
