--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Can't live without" Scrapbook layout - Pets Challenge March

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Can't live without"

This page is my inspiration piece for the March challenge.

So far for 2018 I've been focusing on stash busting. 

I love a challenge with a theme, because you can use what you have available.

This collection from Simple Stories was one of my favs a few years back so I dug it out and got creating.

I've teamed it with the

Can't live without title.

I've given it a light coat of Distress Ink so that it has a two tone effect, with the raw chipboard showing through.

Nrmally I would never put brown, red and yellow together but the collection combined those colours, so I figured "Why not?"

If you'd like to join our monthly challenge, pop on over to the facebook group

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Smile and be happy" scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Smile and be happy"

This page is similar photo to a page I shared a couple of weeks ago.

This is Master Z graduating from Kindy!

I've used the Smile and be happy word

treated with Colour Blast embossing powder "Steel" on the raw chipboard.

I wanted the background to be "clean mixed media" - yep it's totally a thing.

So I've used Distress Ink, white splatters and tags to create layers.

I've also added the Frame 110 chipboard piece.

I love how chipboard looks in the background of layers. It's so great for adding texture.

I wanted a semi-raw chipboard feel, so added some stamping with the Distress Ink and a little bit of white gesso.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

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

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"Adventure"

This page features the fabulous Pink Paislee Wild Child.



I knew that the colours and patterns of this collection would make a great boys page.

I created the background using Distress Oxide in "Cracked Pistachio" and "Broken China" with the packaging technique and water.

As with most of my pages, I love to journal the story.

This one is quite funny.

We'd recently had some new tyres put on our car, Master C was fascinated by the process and decided he wanted to put new tyres on his truck.

This photo is the result ... 

I just love the feet sticking out the end :)

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Extra Special" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

This page is inspired by our November challenge in the facebook group.

My layout "Extra Special"

This months inspiration is ... Great Outdoors, wide open spaces, river, water - however the image inspires you.

Sometimes I start background details and end up with something great - like this page ...

sometimes I don't and I retire them to the Scrapbook Graveyard.

I adore this chipboard.

I've used the Extra Special Title.

Firstly giving it a coat of white gesso. Then colouring the "Extra" with Distress Crayon to achieve a beach kind of colour. Then the "Special" with Colour Blast Embossing Powder in "Singing the Blues"

Once I adhered to the page, I traced around the special with black pen to highlight it.

For the background I've combined Colour Blast Sprays "Bling", "Caribbean",  and "Road Base".

Spray it directly onto the page and let the colours run down the cardstock.

I then added some stamping and ink through a stencil.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Christmas Wishes" Scrapbook layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"Christmas Wishes"

How delicious is the "Mint Wishes" collection from Kaisercraft.



Paper tearing seems to be my go to technique at the moment so I decided to make a really big hole in the backround page and use the awesome wood grain paper for the backing.

To add a little more "mint" to the background I've used the Tim Holtz Distress Oxides.

This is one of my favourite Christmas pictures from last year.
I love that this layout is so neutral and soft with that bright pop of colour on the photo.

You can find all of these products at

Here is the process video if you'd like to watch or check out the technique used to apply the Distress Oxides.

Kaisercraft October challenge - Scrapbook Layout "Tis the Season"

Hello Scrap Friends

Today I'd like to share with you my take on the October challenge at
Kaisercraft

Here is my page "Tis the Season"

What an adorable moodboard this month and I love the "Mint Wishes" collection.

The collection features some lovely patterns and textues, so I teamed them with some Distress Ink "Brushed Corduroy" and some splatters.

Some lovely simple paper layers and a cluster of florals to finish the page.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping
