"Follow your heart" scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I've got a new layout to share "Follow your Heart"

I'd previously used this cut file and had the leftovers adhered to this beautiful Heidi Swapp "Magnolia Jane" 12x12 paper - I hunted around for a chipboard to perfectly match my page.

I've used the

Follow your heart chipboard

The Nuvo gold embossing powder was a little rough (I think I burnt it - whoops) - but I kind or like the grungy feel with the soft background.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

These Two

Hello! Tanya here to share a layout of my baby who is 17 today!

Where on earth that time went I have no idea. Must mean I'm getting old.

I love the Harlequin Border and Pieces Chipboard, I have only used half of what you get 

in the pack, so plenty more for another layout!

The chipboard has been gessoed and then sprayed with Heidi Swap Color Shine spray. 

Once dry I sanded parts of the chipboard back with a sanding block and then 

coloured the sanded parts with a yellow Tim Holtz Distress Crayon.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a wonderful week - Tanya x

SMILE AND BE HAPPY ~ MEETING BOO

Hello scrappers, Mary here today to share my layout with the Smile and Be Happy Chipboard piece. We were meeting our Eldest Sons new Puppy Boo, so she certainly did make us smile and feel happy :)

I treated the chipboard with gesso and then painted it with Dylusions London Blue Paint , the same paint I used at the side of my photo. I also used A2Z Scraplets staggered Bricks stencil with texture paste and lemon mist.
Thank you for calling by and don't forget our Challenge this month which is a sketch challenge , just go to our facebook page and download your entries to be in the running for a pack of chipboard.
Until next time
Happy creating

Winners are Grinners - Karen McLaughlin

Hi A2Z Fans.  Karen back with a soccer page.  I have used the Winners are Grinners title which I painted black and then covered in crackle accents for that crackled effect.  I have also used the soccer balls where I painted them black and then covered the back of them in white cardstock and dimensional magic.  I hope this has inspired you to dig out your sports photos and scrap them.  Thank you for looking and wishing you a great week ahead.

Smile happiness look good on you by Judith Armstrong

Good morning and welcome to the weekend!!

I am really into blue at the moment and I have a monochromatic blue layout to share with you today.

I have used the A2Z Scraplets Abstract Butterfly Large Corner. I love this corner and have been keeping it back but felt this was just the right layout for it. I painted in with two colours of paint. I painted the chicken wire and harlequin shapes and long strands with navy paint. I then painted the butterflies with a lighter blue paint. I added some flowers and butterflies to embellish it.

I also used one of the pieces from the A2Z Scraplets  Harlequin Set of 3 shapes and painted it with the navy paint again and then cut it up and placed around my cluster. 

For those of you interested, I created my background by painting some bubble wrap with the light blue paint and stamping it. I also put some blue texture paste through a chicken wire stencil and stamped the butterfly stamp with Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink.

Thanks for looking.
