*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** September challenge reveal

 

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a new layout for Mystical Scrapbooks.

Welcome to our September Challenge, this month we are letting our favourite movies inspire our challenges.

It may seem tricky to be inspired by a movie but here are some suggestions:

- title

- photo remind you of a scene from a movie

- movie poster colours

- Good vs evil

- Romance, comedy, Action

- Cartoons

"Hide & Seek" is a thriller movie title - I've never watched it (too scary) but I've heard about it.

So for this layout I've used black thickers to pop off the Nuvo background. 

The background is just freehand squiggles, dots and splatters. 

I've also used the Uniquely Creative "Choose your own adventure" collection.

This was lots of fun to put together and I can't wait to see your "Movie" inspiration.

Happy Scrapping.

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** April Challenge reveal - Black + 1 - colour challenge

  

Hi Crafters

Today's share is for Mystical Scrapbooks

April we are challenging you to use Black + 1

So I'd like you to use black + teal.

I've started with Uniquely Creative "Country Roads" Paper.

Then I've used the Nuvo drops in Blue Lagoon through the Cadence mixed media stencil

I chose my photo and added some paper layers behind it.

The chipboard piece is My heart is full from Dusty Attic which I've covered with Gold embossing powder

To finish I've added some flower clusters in those teal and turquoise colours

I can't wait to see your Black + teal creations.

Happy Scrapping

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** Cybercrop March challenge inspiration

   Hi Crafters

Welcome to March Cybercrop challenge reveal for Mystical Scrapbooks..

This month is all about Fire & Ice.

My challenge is to feature the colour blue and use a stencil.

This is my first time using the Nuvo glitter drops

I've used my spatula and applied it through the Uniquely Creative Stencil

Here are the supplies used for this layout:

Uniquely Creative Once upon a Christmas PL Paper

Uniquely Creative Once Upon a Christmas Creative Cuts

I needed a title so I used the Delightfully Ordinary Moments chipboard and coated it with black

To finish I've added just a little bit of fussing cutting, some tags and cheese clothe.

Thanks for visiting ... I hope you have fun with this months challenge.

*** 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

--- Mystical Scrapbooks DT --- September Challenge Paints & Inks Reveal - All about Vintage

 Hi Craft Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for

Mystical Scrapbooks.

Its September challenge time and we want you to get out your paints and Inks.

As an added challenge I'd like to see you create something with a "Vintage" theme.

Here is my vintage inspiration

"Father"

See the video below. 

This layout features:

3 Quarter Designs - Forgotten Manuscript

Nuvo Vintage Drops - Worn Navy

Cadence Mixed Media Stencil

Kaiser Paint Antique White

Prima Art Alchemy Metallic Wax - Vintage Gold

Kaisercraft Collectables "Workshop"

I love to use products in different ways then they are intended so I've used the Nuvo drops like a paste and applied them through a stencil.

As the liquid was thinner than normal paste, I washed the stencil between applications.

It dries with a lovely matte finish and almost looks like it's embossed on the background.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy scrapping.

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 --- "The best day" Scrapbook layout step by step

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "The best day"

This page features tow chippies.
First the Leafy Stems

I decided to colour them with my Distress Crayons, so first they got a coat of white gesso.

Then with my chosen colours, I draw on the leaf and smudge the colour with my fingers.

Repeating the process with different greens.

Finally, just to bring everything together, I added a touch of green glitter paste.

I love how they look, tucked into the flower cluster.

I've also used the Picture Frame 15
Covering it with Nuvo embossing powder which has a gorgeous glitter element.

I love how cute this photo is of my boys at Dreamworld.
So simple to put together with a easy torn paper background and lots of A2Z Scraplets Chipboard elements.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

--- A2Z Scraplets DT --- 100% Boy

Nuts and Bolts large frame

coated with a layer of gesso and then coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.

I've added some metal cogs to add a little extra interest to this boy page.

The papers on this page are from the "You Rock" collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and I've added some Nuvo mousse in "Cornflower blue" to the background.

 Hi Scrap Friends

Today I've got a layout to share for Scrapbook Boutique
Just in case you haven't stopped by my blog before,
My main scrapbook inspiration is my boys!
So of course I was eager to get my hands on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "You Rock" collection.

"Boy oh Boy"

I started this layout by choosing a cut file and using the patterned papers to back the cut file.
I chose my photo based on the colours of this collection - Blue!

I decided to add a little mixed media to the background and first painted on the 

"Cornflower blue" Nuvo embellishment mousse followed by the "Aquamarine" Nuvo embellishment mousse through this fabulous stencil!
