*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** February Cyber crop Inspiration - all about "Hearts & Flowers"

 Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a new layout for Mystical Scrapbooks

Our February Cybercrop is all about Hearts & Flowers.

I just adore this wood grain floral paper from Colour Blast - Love & Grace

I'm still catching up on my Christmas photos so my challenge is to use hearts of flowers on a Christmas layout. 

I've embellished with Uniquely Creative "Once upon a Christmas" and the gorgeous "Chipboard word tree"

You can see the whole process in the video:

Happy Scrapping.

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.

I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm terrible at finishing the album, it's my goal to finish last years, before I start this years.

So today I'm sharing that with you. 

I've used the  

Uniquely Creative Once Upon A Christmas collection.

Here are the supplies used for this layout:

Uniquely Creative Once upon a Christmas PL Paper

Uniquely Creative Once Upon a Christmas Creative Cuts

--- Scrap the Boys December 2019 --- Peace & Joy challenge

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for

Scrap the Boys

Inspiration for this layout is a Christmas page featuring a man in your life.

This photo is a little blurry so was tricky to scrap, but I managed to distract with lots of background elements. 

I also don't often scrap on Kraft background so this was a huge challenge for me.

This layout also features Kinder Kreations chipboard

KK1740

Thanks for visiting.

I'm hoping to be a little more consistent on my blog next year :) 

Happy Scrapping.

--- Colour Blast DT --- "Smile" Scrapbook Layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new project for Colour Blast

"Smile"

For this page I've used the following

Colour Spray Carribean

Colour Shimmer Spray Envy

Colour Embossing Powder Envy

Colour Paste Bling

***

  

Firstly, I've chosen this resist paper which I've sprayed with Colour Shimmer spray Envy.

Dry with paper towel and then add some thick drops of Colour Spray Carribean

Once the spray has dried naturally, I'm going to add some Colour Paste Bling through this stencil.
I chose bling because the paper collection I'm using has a neutral addition and I thought the "Bling" would bring it all together - that and it's so pretty!

I set the background aside to dry and used the Colour Embossing Powder Envy on my chipboard title.

One coat is suitable, but I like the coverage of two coats.

The rest of the layout is simply adding the paper layers and embellishments.

Scrap the Boys December inspiration challenge layout "Believe"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my take on the challenge over at
Scrap the Boys

"Believe"

What an amazing inspiration image for this month ...

I had to think about this one a little before I got started on the actual doing.

I ended up replicating the rainbow tree for my background with Distress Crayons.

I gave the cardstock a coat of white gesso first - it makes smudging and blending the crayons a lot easier.

The background was easy, but covering it up and embellishing was a little trickier.
I ended up going through my photo stash and found this one of DH adding the star to the tree.
It was a great opportunity to get it scrapped and I'm so pleased with the final layout.

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- September challenge reveal layout "Shine"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Shine"

For this months challenge we'd like you to create a Christmas page without using traditional colours.
I chose mint & silver.

The chipboard pieces are
Shine word and Bec's Christmas tree shape

 

For the Shine word, I added first a coat of Colour Blast embossing powder in "Steel" and then a coat of "Snow White"

For the Christmas Tree, I added a coat of white gesso, then coloured with my Tim Holtz Distress Crayon, then added a coat of Colour Blast embossing powder in "Snow White" - for that little bit of sparkle.

I love how this layout has a definite Christmas feel (with that sweet photo) but there is no traditional colours.

We sure hope you can play along this month.

Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia - December challenge layout "A real tree"

Hi Scrap Friends

I've managed to squeeze in one last challenge for the month.
This one is for
Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia

My Layout "A real tree"

So many ways to be inspired by this moodboard.

It's obvious where I got my inspiration from :)

My Christmas trees are freehand with gesso - lot's of fun!

I'd printed this photo to use in my Documenting December album but ended up leaving it out.
It was perfect for this page.

Thanks for visiting.
