A2Z Scraplets MARCH Challenge

Hi there, A2Zers! Today I'm sharing my inspiration for the March and April Challenges at A2Z Scraplets Papercraft Challenges.

 This is a large btp to hang on the wall above my bed. The Sweet Dreams Scraplet was coloured with white ink and Dimensional Magic, and the cloud was covered with white flocking.

I used the A2Z Scraplets Bubbles Stencil with Mont Marte Dimension Paint.
The A2Z Scraplets Everyday scraplet was coloured blue, coated with Dimensional Magic and outlined with a white gel pen

Until next time, keep calm and craft on!

Tower Drawers

Hi all! I have a set of drawers by Kaisercraft to share with you today. It needed a little something extra so I added this gorgeous A2Z Scraplet flourish 97 and voila - now I have a lovely set of drawers that are useful AND pretty!

I covered the chipboard with Stampendous Aged Black Embossing Enamel and added a pretty, glittery, organza bow to finish. 

I hope you like it!

Until next time, keep calm and craft on :)

Love Is Sweet

Hi there A2Zers! Today I have a BTP to share with you :)

I have decorated the Flourish 96 chipboard with Aged Black Embossing Enamel by Stampendous and attached it to the Love Is Sweet BTP along with some lovely faux crystal knobs. I can't wait to hang it in our new house!

I love A2Z Scraplets, there is always something to give your project that perfect finish :)

Until next time, keep calm and craft on!

Cute Storage!

 Hi there! I've been on a bit of a BTP kick lately, I hope you're enjoying them! Here is a cute little set of drawers. I added the A2Z Scraplets Flourish 43 after painting them white and outlining them with a black gel pen.

Thanks for looking :) Until next time, keep calm and craft on!

Celebrations Calendar!

Hi there A2Zers! 

How are the school holidays treating you? We baked a yummo Malteser chocolate cake today. 

Om nom nom! 

I've also been lucky enough to have some crafty time, so I whipped up this gorgeous Family Birthdays Calendar. 

However, I wanted mine a little more personalised and to include family celebrations as well as birthdays. So I asked the lovely Deb from A2Z Scraplets to make mine with WATTON celebrations as the title instead. If you ask nicely, she might even personalise one for you ;)

I've used a lovely yellow and white chevron background with WATTON and the months painted black and outlined with a white gel pen. The Butterfly chippy and celebrations word were covered with Stampendous Shabby White Embossing Enamel. 

I can't wait for my next card making day so I can whip up a bunch of cards ready to send out for these wonderful celebrations!

Until next time, keep calm and craft on!

Awesome

Hi there A2Zers! Are you loving Kaisercraft's new collection - Scrap Yard as much as I am? It's perfect for all of those masculine photos! 

This photo is of my husband and his cousin, although they're more like brothers than cousins.

I've used the Scrap Yard collection by Kaisercraft for this layout, titled Awesome.

This gorgeous A2Z Scraplets Industrial Large Corner chippy was spritzed in Kaisercraft's new Charcoal Mist with the Peach mist spritzed over the top. These mists are fantastic. Full of colour as well as some glimmer.

To get the effect around the photo, I just scribbled with a white gel pen all the way around, I love how it turned out!

The Awesome chippy from the A2Z Scraplets Awesome Fabulous set has been coloured in with a burnt orange pen on the top half and a black Sharpie on the bottom half. Then the whole thing was coated in Dimensional Magic and outlined with a black gel pen. It's given a very cool effect.

I hope I've been able to inspire you to get those masculine photos out. This collection truly is what you've been waiting for. And when you couple it with A2Z Scraplets, you can't go wrong!!

I'd also like to share this Tag album with you as well! I've used the A2Z Scraplet All You Need Is Love. 

The Scraplet was painted grey and outlined in a white gel pen.

Until next time, keep calm and craft on :)

Meow!

Hi all! I don't know about you, but I love creating layouts about my fur-babies! They provide an awful lot of gorgeous moments to scrap :) This is my precious Dumpling, he's a real character!

I've used the A2Z Scraplet - Meow, from the  Meow, Purr, Sleep wordlets. It's been coloured in with a yellow ZIG chalk pen and outlined with a black gel pen.

I love grunging my layouts up a bit simply by adding some staples, give it a try! 

Until next time, keep calm and craft on!

My Everything

Hi again! I have 2 creations here to inspire you today :) 

First up is titled My Everything. 

This layout was created with 2 gorgeous A2Z Scraplets chippies - My Everything and just one of the 4 Chevron Borders which I cut up into 4 smaller pieces, also the Hello Today and Sandy Toes collections by Kaisercraft, with White and Sand coloured cardstock. Inspired by the colour challenge over at White With 1.

Did you know we've begun monthly challenges again?

Kerry has offered up a gorgeous mood board to inspire us for April:

Here is my take. I was inspired by the clouds, quote and outdoors scene. 

I hope you enjoy it!

I designed and cut an MDF cloud-shaped album specially for this project. I feel it suited the A2Z Scraplet - The Sky is the Limit chippy and this wonderful challenge perfectly!

Just incase you were wondering how I got the effect on the chippy, the Heavy Gesso by Prima is so thick it acts as a texture paste. I used 2 coats (with about an hour of drying time between coats) to get the final result. The picture below is after the first coat. The words were coloured with gold gel pen, which was also used to outline the entire album.

To join in this challenge, simply create your masterpiece - inspired by this gorgeous mood board, of course - and upload it here in the comments or on our Facebook page. It's as simple as that! I can't wait to see your take :)

Until next time, keep calm and craft on!
