*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** December inspiration "Happy" Mixed Media 12x12 layout

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a little bit of mixed media inspiration for Mystical Scrapbooks

I adore the Frosted Sugar Powder and wanted to explore some of it's uses.

So I decided to combine it with Multi Medium and  Colour Blast Shimmer Dust Peacock.

I trialled it through a stencil but couldn't get the desired effect so I ended up with a freestyle background.

I've teamed this with Fancy Pants paper and Fancy Pants tags

I like to have some form of border on my layouts so Washi tape was perfect for this.

To finish I added some Simple Stories Embellishments a bit of Gold splatter and some Sequins.

You can check out the process video here:

Happy Scrapping.

Hi Crafters

Today is my share for the December challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks

Here is my inspiration layout: "Documented"

My challenge for you this month is to use any form of "Splatters" on your layout.

I've used the gorgeous Simple Stories Life in Color Collection

I just love a wood grain paper.

The background is quite dark so I added some paste

To finish I've mixed white gesso with water and added lots of splatters.

Here is the process video:

Today I'm sharing a 12x12 layout for Mystical Scrapbooks

I'm gradually working my way through photos of my boy Zeus.

Missing him so much and trying to record those memories hurts my heart but at the same time helps it heal a little more each day.

So today's share is titled "Saying Goodbye"

I've used the fabulous Simple Stories "Heart" collection

I just the combination of the teal and gold.

I've also used Alpha Stickers for my title and added a little bit of gold splatter.

Scrap the Boys July Challenge - "Hello Blue" scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

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

Scrap the Boys

This months inspiration was a fabulous moodboard.

I started with some pink project life cards and once I'd built some layers I added some blue distress ink to the background.

I found the cute "Hello" title from my stash and used the title "Hello Blue" because Master Cooper is mad about Jurassic World, Veloceraptor "Blue" - hence the puzzle in the photos.

Just a couple of embellishments to finish this fabulous colour scheme.

Love it.

Thanks for visiting.

--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- July Challenge Reveal "Christmas in July" theme

Hello Crafty Friends

Welcome to July 1st.

My first share this month is some happy news ...

I've joined the team at 

I'm excited to be getting involved with this group online and if you haven't joined yet, you can find them here: Mystical Scrapbooks Chat

For the month of July we are inspiring you to play along with the "Christmas in July" theme.

Don't panic though if you have nothing that fits the theme ...

Below I'm going to share some inspiration of how you could play along this month.

Here's an inspiration board.

From this board you could be inspired by:

- Red, green, gold or silver

- Words: Presents, Fun, Family, Peace

- Groups of 4

- A grid type layout

- paint background

I've used the grid style and chosen Gold as my main colour.

I've used the Kaisercraft Christmas Edition 6x6 paper pad, teamed with some Gold foil and a little bit of red bling.

One of my favourite techniques at the moment is stitching and I love to leave the cotton threads hanging, I love the texture it adds.

Here are some close ups ...

Have Fun & Enjoy.
