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

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Funny Face"


The "Funny Face" Chipboard was the perfect choice for these photos.


I decided to focus this page on the colour orange.
So I've treated the chipboard with "Tangerine" embossing powder from Colour Blast.


The background of this page is Colour Blast Spray "Sunset" over a DCWV paper which gives an awesome resist look.

All the other embellishments come from my stash - my focus for 2018 is to start using some of the items I've already got!


Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "It's the little things" Christmas scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "It's the little things"


This page uses the adorable

I've coloured it with Distress Crayons firstly in red to help it pop off the neutral Christmas page and then with gold accents on the smaller words.


The background features

- Kaisercraft "Christmas Edition"
- Texture paste
- Distress ink through a stencil
- Colour Blast Shimmer Spray "Bling"
- Collectables and die cuts
- sequins
- washi tape
- stamping


I created this on a diagonal with the photo highlighted in the centre.


 It's a busy page, but not overpowering because of the neutral palette.
I love how the chipboard really pops off the background work and helps lift the photo.



Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

CSI Challenge Blog - January Challenge "Hello Sunshine"

Hi Scrap Friends

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



The inspiration image, really challenged me.



The scene made me think of winter ... so I chose a photo of Master Z wrapped up in his dressing gown.
The story of the dressing gown is documented on the page ...
While on a visit to Nan's house, the twins discovered the grey cat next door.
He's big, fluffy, grey and very friendly... His name is Ralphy.

Not sure how it started but now their dressing gowns are called "Ralphy's"



I've included the colours of the scene - focusing on the yellow.
To match the other colours - I've used Distress Crayons.
The chipboard circular frame is from A2Z Scraplets.

To finish I've added some background stamping, some inking through stencil and embellished with flowers, die cuts and a tag.

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

Scrap the Girls - January moodboard challenge "Selfie" scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

It's been a little while since I played over at
Scrap the Girls

I decided that this months moodboard really spoke to me so I made time to complete a page.

"Selfie"


I just couldn't go past the moodboard.


Beautiful blue tones, patterns and textures - it really spoke to me.
It also helped that I knew I had this photo of which I'm wearing a blue dress.


My background paper is a foil from the French White DCWV collection.
I've used Colour Blast Sprays "Caribbean" and "Indigo" to build layers of colour over texture paste.


Finally for my title, I just picked up this chipboard from A2Z Scraplets and it was just right - for the photo and a great size.
It had one coat of "Just Blue" Colour Blast embossing powder and one coat of "Snow White" Colour Blast embossing powder.

To embellish the page, I've added some flowers (rare for me), butterflies, sequins and die cuts.

I really like how this one came together.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Shine Bright" scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Shine Bright"


For this page, I've used the 

I wanted to give it an ombre look, so I coated with white gesso, then coloured with various distress crayons. Finally, I sealed it with Colour Blast Snow White embossing powder.


This collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio has some pretty pops of yellow, so I also included some yellow stars from the Stars and hearts icon set.


The rest of my page features Colour Blast spray "Lagoon" and Distress Crayon.


Thanks for visiting.

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Cool Kid" Scrapbook layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"Cool Kid"



I am so loving these paper pads from DCWV.

  

They are such good value and contain the most wonderful patterns.

I started with the French White + foil 12x12 background paper and then layered with the Lively Geo's collection.


For the background I've added some splatters of colour.
The rest of the page is just tearing and layering - so easy to achieve dimension.


Finally these AC Thicker phrases are such an easy way to embellish a page.
