--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- September Inspiration "Wedding"

 Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a little bit of inspiration featuring the 3 Quarter Designs - Forgotten Manuscript collection.

I'm not a huge vintage scrapper but I love the neutrality of this collection.

So I pulled out these photos from my Mother-in-laws wedding and created this layout for her.

The collection has a wonderful cut apart sheet and the only extras I added were the enamel dots and the cut file.

Cardstock "Pinecone"

--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- July Inspiration - Scrapbook Layout "Perfect"

Hi Craft Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for

Mystical Scrapbooks.

This layout features:

Uniquely Creative - True North Collection &

Cocoa Vanilla Studio Title

It took a little while for me to finish this layout because I couldn't decide what I needed in the background.

I put it aside for a couple of days and while cutting some other cut files I decided the star was the perfection addition.

Scrap the Boys March Challenge - Scrapbook Layout "Dreamer"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing my layout for the March challenge over at

Scrap the Boys

My layout "Dreamer"

This month we were inspired by the below image.

I first decided to create a star background and used stamps with clear and sparkle embossing powders.

Then I used Colour Blast Shimmer Dust and water colour to create a background similar to the image.

I chose this photo of Master Z in the strangest sleeping position as it matched the "Dreamer" title which was inspired by the night time theme of the board.

I had such fun creating this layout and I love the result.

Thanks for visiting.

Scrap the Boys - February Challenge - "My Foodie"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a February project for
Scrap the Boys

"My Foodie"

This month we were to be inspired by this moodboard



I also used the bonus cut file from


Recently my focus has been on multi photo layouts.
So I raided my printed photo stash and realised I had quite a few of Master C enjoying food!
So I combined them and I love how this one turned out!

I've used Colour Blast sprays on the cut file and mounted it with foam to add dimension.
Then I chose a patterned paper background but muted it with some heavy white gesso to help lift the cut file and the photos from the background.

Thanks for visiting.

Scrap the Boys - December challenge "Naughty" Scrapbook layout for boys

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing my take on the challenge at

Scrap the Boys

My layout "Naughty"

Apparently I did not read the blog well enough as this month is supposed to be a Christmas challenge.

I thought it was a "naughty or nice" challenge and hence my photo and title.

Even if I'm not eligible for voting I still wanted to share.

I've used Nuvo Embellishment mousse in the background and Cocoa Vanilla Studio papers.

Thanks for visiting.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Heaven on Earth" Scrapbook Layout 9x12

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Heaven on Earth"

Sometimes when my mojo goes AWOL I like to create a 9x12 page which can sometimes kickstart my creativity.

This page uses scraps of paper with a sunburst stencil.

It was pretty busy with patterns so I left the 

Heaven on Earth chipboard

fairly basic.

I gave it a coat of sparkly embossing powder.

I also added the cutfile in the photo background and embellished with stickers and cotton.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

Scrap the Boys August Challenge "Funday"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout created for the August challenge at
Scrap the Boys.

My layout "Funday"

This months inspiration was

When I also saw the cut file inspiration, I had an idea ...

Now mostly when my ideas start out, they end up nothing like what I imagined.

I'm pleased to say that this one did!

I cut the geo leaves first and then laid them on white cardstock.

I then used Colour Blast sprays and shimmer sprays over the top.

Once dry, I lifted the coloured leaves and laid them on the layout for dimension.

Surprisingly, I hadn't chosen a photo before starting the page. When I went through the photo stash, I found this one of Master Z hunting for easter eggs beneath a tree! 

Couldn't believe it was just perfect!

Some paper layering and minimal embellishments really let the background shine.

I really feel like my mojo has been missing lately but I love how this one turned out. 

Thanks for visiting.
Happy Scrapping.

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "My dreams 2018" Scrapbook Layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"My dreams 2018"



How lovely is the "Misty Mountains" collection from Kaisercraft.
I adore the patterns and palette of these papers.



Now I'm a little late to the whole filter thing with photos but I've discovered it ...
and what a cute way to record our pictures.



I decided that I was going to make this page about me and my feelings for 2018.
So I've typed up some (quite random) thoughts and feelings and added them to the back of the page.

I didn't have a plan when creating this page.
The cut file really helped with the position of items and I love how the paper looks behind it.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Snapshot" Scrapbook layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Snapshot"

How great does it feel when you create something you love?

This page just happened!!! I love that!

I started with the background ...

I'd used the Silhouette Cameo to create a cut file.

The white hearts are the left over.

While they are still on the cutting mat, I add some glue and then lay a piece of 12x12 paper over the top.

Once dry, peel off the 12x12 and Voila ... a reverse cut file. 

I then added some Colour Blast Spray in "Bling" and let it run down the page.

I created the cluster using stash papers and then decided to have some fun adding chipboard!

I chose the Hanging hearts shape and gave it a coat of black gesso to really help lift it off the page.

Then I chose the Snapshot title and covered it with Colour Blast embossing powder in Bling.

A little gold washi tape and some sequins really help finish this page off.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.
