Scrap the Boys march Challenge - Scrapbook Layout "Water Fun"

Hi Scrap Friends

Today's share is a layout created for

Scrap the Boys

using the March inspiration board.

My layout "Water Fun"

This layout was also inspired by one of the Scrap the Boys DT.

If you've not checked out Krisy Podolak's work, pop over to her blog here.

I have of course used the colours and added some cheeseclothe to represent the

fishing net part of the board. The drink also helped me pic the photos to scrap.

This is Master Z enjoying some water play!

Thanks for visiting.

Scrap Around the World May Mixed Media Layout "Sweet" using a secret ingredient

Hello Scrap Friends

Thanks for visiting today to check out my May entry for Scrap Around the World.

I'm excited to share this layout as it is totally outside of my comfort zone.

Introducing "Sweet"

It is Scrap Around the World's Epic Event for May - being their birthday month.

I got really excited when I first saw the moodboard.

Instantly the photo of the cocktail with the sprinkles had my mind working.

You really need to check out their epic event here

Why???? I hear you ask.

This .....

Giant jar of sprinkles that were hiding in my cupboard.

I really wanted to see what would happen if I used 100's & 1000's on my layout.

(Note: There are literally 100's and 1000's of them all over my craft room floor 

following completion of this layout)

Here are some close ups!

 

 To build the background, I started with inks, sprays, stamping, washi, embossing and stencils. 

I wanted to run the colours like the cocktail glass.

Then I swiped a layer of modelling paste and sprinkled with "100's & 1000's"

I love the texture and colour it's given to this layout.

The photos are of my boys enjoying their first soft serve icecream cones - 

inspired by the picture of the icecream!

Loving the 2 Crafty Chipboard title too!

Scrap the Boys May Challenge Scrapbooking Layout

Hello Scrap Friends

Today I am sharing with you a layout created for Scrap the Boys.

Below is my layout "Mini Cooper"

This is the image we had as inspiration for this months challenge.

You'll notice I've gone for something a little different. I chose to use the word Pound 

recording the weight of Master C (Twin 1) when he was born. 

I also went for a very monochrome layout as per the image. 

 

 Thanks for stopping by. Please feel free to leave a comment.

DLish Scraps - Beachside Bliss - Scrapbooking layout "Campsite View"

Hi fellow scrappers

As soon as I saw the DLish Scraps February Moodboard "Beachside Bliss" I had the perfect photo in mind. 

I was immediately inspired by the pearls. I've had some very pretty pearl ribbon at home that I've been wanting to use but hadn't found the right layout.

I started this layout with white cardstock and then chalked the background like a beach, with blue sky, blue ocean and yellow sand.

I then layered some texture paste with a stencil, embellished and spray inked the hole page before adding the photo, pearl ribbon and flower.

Please feel free to leave a comment.

Materials:

White cardstock, Stampin Up Chalks, texture paste, stencil, black pen, Green Tara Pearl spray, Scrap FX chipboard, plasterers tape, gesso, Kaisercraft spray ink, Little Birdie flower, Kaisercraft sticker, pearl ribbon

My Creative Sketches January

Wow, January has really snuck out from under me. 

I've been totally slack with my challenges this month. 

Bring on February.

Managed to finish a quick take on the My Creative Sketches January sketch.

Layout "Trouble"

I attached the papers before applying a thin layer of gesso to give it a more muted look. Then I stitched around the papers - leaving the ends of the stitching on the layout.

I also wanted to do a boys layout without including a floral embellishment - harder than it sounds. 

I was super tempted to add some flowers. But overall I'm pretty happy with the layout.
