*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** April Cybercrop challenge - Black + 1

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a layout for the Mystical Scrapbooks 

It's cybercrop time and this month is all about Black + 1 - I'd like you to feature black and yellow.

For my share I wanted to show you that you can create a monochromatic layout in a different way.

For this layout, I've started with 9x11 background and painted on some Colour Blast Shimmer Dust "Sunflower"

Once it dried I added some black gesso through a stencil

I've used papers from Simple Stories "Life in Color"

Then embellished with Colour Blast Arty Farty Paper and my go to at the moment - cotton.

I've added a little touch of texture with the lace.

Here is the process video:

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** February Inspiration 12x12 layout "100% Boy"

 

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a new layout for Mystical Scrapbooks

I'm loving this rainbow background from Colour Blast Bee Arty

I wanted to keep it fairly simple so I added some Art alchemy Metallique Wax through the Stencil

A little tip when using the metallique wax, - it doesn't clean off with water. I had to use paper towel and significant soap to get it off my hands. 

While I let the wax dry, I used Embossing powder to treat the 100% Boy chipboard

You can watch the whole process in the video:

Happy Scrapping.

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT - January Sketch challenge ***

  

Hi Crafters

Happy New Year and welcome to my January challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks

I've designed this sketch for you to enjoy 

My inspiration is called "Favourite Spot"

How fantastic is this rainbow background paper?

Its Simple Stories "Hello Summer"

The needed to mute the bright background so I added some Acrylic paint

I've embellished with Simple Stories Embellishments

A gorgeous gold title to finish.

Can't wait to see your creations.

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** December inspiration "Happy" Mixed Media 12x12 layout

Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a little bit of mixed media inspiration for Mystical Scrapbooks

I adore the Frosted Sugar Powder and wanted to explore some of it's uses.

So I decided to combine it with Multi Medium and  Colour Blast Shimmer Dust Peacock.

I trialled it through a stencil but couldn't get the desired effect so I ended up with a freestyle background.

I've teamed this with Fancy Pants paper and Fancy Pants tags

I like to have some form of border on my layouts so Washi tape was perfect for this.

To finish I added some Simple Stories Embellishments a bit of Gold splatter and some Sequins.

Happy Scrapping.

*** December Challenge for Mystical Scrapbooks *** Include splatters - 12x 12 scrapbook layout featuring Simple Stories

 

Hi Crafters

Today is my share for the December challenge at Mystical Scrapbooks

Here is my inspiration layout: "Documented"

My challenge for you this month is to use any form of "Splatters" on your layout.

I've used the gorgeous Simple Stories Life in Color Collection

I just love a wood grain paper.

The background is quite dark so I added some paste

To finish I've mixed white gesso with water and added lots of splatters.

Here is the process video:

Can't wait to see your creations.

*** Mystical Scrapbooks DT *** November inspiration "Saying Goodbye" - 12x12 layout

 Hi Crafters

Today I'm sharing a 12x12 layout for Mystical Scrapbooks

I'm gradually working my way through photos of my boy Zeus.

He was our first pet and lived with us for ten years, even before we had children.

Missing him so much and trying to record those memories hurts my heart but at the same time helps it heal a little more each day.

So today's share is titled "Saying Goodbye"

I've used the fabulous Simple Stories "Heart" collection

I just the combination of the teal and gold.

I've also used Alpha Stickers for my title and added a little bit of gold splatter.

Here is the process video if you'd like to see this layout come together.

Happy Scrapping.

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- June Challenge Reveal "I am Lego Mad"

Hi Scrap Friends

It's challenge time over at Scrapbook Boutique.



We'd love to see your creations inspired by our  moodboard - .



Here is my layout "I am Lego Mad"

This moodboard is all about spots as inspiration.
With so many colours to choose from, I decided to go with one of my favs - yellow.
I did a little stash busting and found this paper from Simple Stories.
It doubles up on the dots with a few extra thrown in by using washi tape.

To complement the colours and the photo I've chosen I added elements from the Simple Stories "I Am" collection.

Here is the process video to see how I created this page ...

--- Scrapbook Boutique DT --- "Amazing" Scrapbook Layout + process video

 Hi Scrap Friends

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

"Amazing"

For this layout, I've used the delicious Simple Stories "I am" collection.



Although it features some florals, I felt the colours and patterns would work well for boys layouts too.



Teamed up with a background of Colour Blast paste "Sunshine" = Winning!!!

This is a sweet, simple page, easy to put together with just a touch of medium added.

--- Colour Blast DT --- "Life in Color" Scrapbook layout + process video

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a new project for Colour Blast

This page is "Life in Color"

For this page I've used the following

Colour Shimmer Dust Sunflower

Colour Shimmer Dust Candy

Black Heavy Gesso

***

I started this page using the Simple Stories "Life in Color" collection.

It's a few years old but still one of my favourites.  

After working out where I want all the elements to be featured, I start on my background.
Firstly some stripes with the
Colour Shimmer dust Candy

Then some more stripes with Colour Shimmer dust Sunflower

It was at this point that I wasn't really sure what to do.
I thought the background needed something extra!!!
I briefly considered stamping but then remembered I had this relatively new, fun stencil.
Teamed with Black Heavy Gesso

I've added lots of different areas of Black Heavy Gesso to the background.
*** Caution: the black gesso will stain the stencil but doesn't affect future use ***

Once dried, I've added my layers.

Finally, some Charms Creations banners, journalling and stickers.
