"It's a boy thing" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Sharing a new layout "It's a boy thing"

I adore this chipboard - it's just perfect for my scrapping style.

You'll find the chippie in the A2Z Scraplets store here.

For the chipboard - I've added white gesso then coloured with the Distress Crayons - sealing it with clear embossing powder.
I coordinated the colours with the fabulous "You Rock" collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio.

Happy Scrapping. 

Boys will be boys

Good morning!

If you're anything like me you may find it difficult to scrap boys.  Girls are soooo easy - add some flowers, tizzy the page up and there you have it.  Boys on the other hand……
Well, I have a boys layout for you using more than 1 photo!!  It is a fun, easy layout that incorporates some texture paste and gelatos!!

Close up of the Boys will be Boys chipboard…

This title was simply spritzed a few times with Heidi Swapp  Navy Colour Shine.  Too easy!!


For my second layout, I was inspired by the colours in our mood board challenge.  I was very attracted to the yellow - its such a happy colour!

Here's a closeup of the title - "Close to my Heart"

To achieve the look I have on the title, I coated the chippie with gesso, then inked the edges (as best I could) with black ink.  I then generously coated it all with Crackle Accents and left it overnight to dry.  The thicker the coat of crackle accents the better the effect.  When I came back in the morning it had crackled beautifully, so I then swiped it over with some yellow ink and rubbed it into the cracks while at the same time rubbing off the excess.  I love this effect and must give credit to Tina Ollett for teaching me this technique.

I hope you are inspired to try something new - be it gelatos or crackling your chipboard pieces.  Don't forget about our mood board challenge!

Until next time, happy scrapping.

New Release inspiration from Caz

Hi
Caz with you today to share some goodies that I have made from the April/may releases. I hope you like what you see. Both are Boy pages which is what I find most difficult I love working with feminine tizzy pages so its nice to see minimalist bright colours on my pages for a change. They are scraplets from the April/May release

This first page uses the "This is awesome" scraplet

                                                              And some close ups for you

 I used this scraplet below, love how versatile it is. It could be used on so many different themed pages.

 

And my second page uses the Boys will be boys scraplet

And some close ups

Using the below scraplet.

Hope you have gained some inspiration

Till next time

Enjoy your crafting and have a lovely Easter

Caz xo
