--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "# Funny" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "#Funny"


I've discovered a new love for monochrome layouts.
I saw this paper and knew I wanted to create a yellow based layout


I created my background with acrylic paint, then added paste through the 
Some stamping and ink splatters to finish.


Lots of layers of different papers + an A2Z Scraplets chipboard.
The Mimi Doily 13 
has a coat of plane gesso and then was coloured and smudged with Tim Holtz Distress Crayon.

Love this one!

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

More than Words February challenge - Scrapbook Layout "Together"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for the February challenge at

"Together"


This month we had to find an "&" and use it in a layout + the word "Together"


I downloaded an ampersand cut file from The Cut Shoppe
and cut it on stencil material.


I then used spray mist through the stencil to create an ampersand background.
I had no idea what this layout was going to arrive at. I started with white card and the stencil idea. 
I  chose orange from my stash of sprays - the layout progressed from there.

Thanks for visiting.

Scrapbooking Top 50 Aus - February challenge layout

Hello Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for 

My Layout "XO"



Inspired by this sketch.


I had downloaded this cut file and chosen some photos to create a romance inspired layout.

I'd put it aside as I was kind of stuck.
When I saw this sketch, it inspired me to finish the page and submit it for the challenge.

I reversed the sketch due to some uncooperative colour issues - now safely hidden under my photo!!!

Thanks for visiting.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Love this" layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Love This"


I tried something a little different for the background - you can check it out in the process video below.


The "Love This" word has been treated with:

- gesso
- yellow distresss crayon
- yellow Bo Bunny glitter paste


I've also used the
Mimi Doily

and treated it with a layer of white embossing powder and sparkle embossing powder.

You can see the process in this video.



Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Boys" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Boys"


I was immediately drawn to this honeycomb chipboard.


It came as a frame but I cut it in half diagonally to use it differently.
I gave it a coat of gesso and then layed it out on the page.



It wasn't until I started playing with paper layers and mixed media background that I decided what to do with the chipboard.
I used the Tim Holtz distress Crayons to colour the chipboard and then blended with my finger - no water needed.


The title received two coats of Colour Blast embossing powder in bling.

I've used the

Large chicken wire frame
&
My Boys scripty word

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

Scrap the Boys - January challenge Numbers "2 Boys" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today's layout is a share for the January challenge at 

My Layout "2 Boys"



This month we were challenged to

I took this two ways - First I created texture in my backgrand with the numbers of various packets of American Crafts "Thickers"


Then covered them with Gesso and applied layers of acrylic paint splatter, Colour Blast shimmer dust and stamping.


Lastly, in choosing this photo it tells the story so I've incorporated that into my title.

This was one of those layouts that started with an idea, halfway through I struggled with the final details but eventually came up with something that I love the final result of!!
