*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** March challenge inspiration 12x12 scrapbook layout

 

Hi Crafters

Today's share is for Mystical Scrapbooks

March is all about "Fire & Ice" inspiration.

I've created this mood board and thought I'd share my inspiration.

Moodboards can strike you in a lot of different ways.

Here are some examples:

- watercolour

- butterflies

- fireworks

- Red, yellow, orange, pink

- Autumn and all things celebrated in Autumn

- flowers

- opposing colours

- trees

- black background

My layout "Family Life" 

I've started with orange cardstock background.

Then I've used the Distress Oxide through a stencil

The Nuvo Crystal Drops helped add some texture over the stencil.

This is my first time using them and they are so lovely and smooth and dry quite quickly.

To finish I've added some paper layers behind my photo and added a title

I've doodled a faux stitched border and sprinkled sequins around. 

This is so different from my normal white backgrounds but I love the simplicity.

Can't wait to see your challenge entries and please share how the moodboard inspired you.

Happy Scrapping

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.

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- "Together" Scrapbook Layout

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Together"

I love how the photo can sometimes inspire the page.
I snapped this one of my new pup "Zara" all snuggled up with my big boy "Zeus".
I built some paper layers around the photo and then picked out some chipboard peices.

The Hearts in Rectangles makes a fabulous background piece.
I've coated mine with black gesso, then sprayed with Diamond Finish spray paint - quick & easy.

In the background I've used Distress Oxide Inks before stitching on a large circle.

Finally I've embellished the page with a Charms Creations chevron and some stickers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Party" Scrapbook layout collaboration with Therese

 Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing Part 2 of the collabration between myself and Therese from "Lost in Paper"  for Scrapbook Boutique 

"Party"

What fun I have had created a lovely Birthday layout.
I started by creating a photo collage and using that as my story.



I wanted this page to be quite bright and fun, so I've used primarily blue, green and orange colours.

Coming up with a title for the page was the most difficult part of the layout.
I ended up cutting some white cardstock using the Silhouette Cameo and colouring with Distress Crayons.

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Happy" Scrapbook layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

This page is very special.
The fabulous Therese from Lost in Paper has joined me on this project.

Therese has kindly made these beautiful floral creations and posted them to me.

We wanted to collaborate on a project to show you what could be achieved ...

Here is the finished page:

"Happy"

When Therese's packaged arrived, I'd already started working on this page.
I felt like the colours and the florals really helped highlight the page.

This paper collection is "Wild & Fancy" from DCWV.

The collection has some lovely foil highlights.

This was the perfect opportunity for me to dig out the "Minc" machine and add some foil to my page.

The floral embellishments are from the Altenew "Floral Arrangement" stamp set.

Here is Therese's video ...
