"100% Boy" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Here is a new layout "100% Boy"

I've used the

Nuts and Bolts large frame

coated with a layer of gesso and then coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.

I've added some metal cogs to add a little extra interest to this boy page.

The papers on this page are from the "You Rock" collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studio and I've added some Nuvo mousse in "Cornflower blue" to the background.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

You Are My Happy

Hi again! 

Today I'm sharing a layout using the perfectly appropriate You Are My Happy scraplet. It was coloured with Derivan Matisse Red ink - this ink is freaking fabulous, it's permanent, vibrant, and it doesn't reactivate if you were to add another colour on top! (tutorial for this coming up soon). After the ink dried, I outlined the chippy with a white gel pen to make it pop. 

This layout was inspired by a sketch over at Sketchy Boards Challenge, using the Hello My Name Is collection by Teresa Collins with blue cardstock.

This scraplet is perfect, he really IS my happy! And look how lovely and bright the red is!

And top it off with a button cluster!

Before I go, I'd like to share this layout (also inspired by a sketch at Sketchy Boards Challenge). The Cogs on the bottom left were inked with Pumpkin and Olive Staz On inks, the Cogs on the top left were wrapped in Washi tape to give a funky effect. Both were outlined with a white gel pen.

I hope you like them! And as always, keep calm and craft on!

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 :)

New products in store now!

New Stock!

We have added some brand new stock to the website. My absolute favourite at the moment is Kaisercraft's Scrap Yard range. The collection packs are a fabulous way to ensure you have all the papers you need for your projects. These include 12 papers and a bonus sticker sheet. Retailing at $12.00 they are great value for money.

Along with the papers you'll also find the Collectables. Each pack includes over 50 die cut shapes to compliment the rest of the range.

The coordinating stamp set is brilliant for many occasions. 

 A2Z Scraplets have the perfect range of chipboards to use with the range of papers. Choose from cog borders, corners, cog or gear sets, steampunk and chicken wire frames, borders and corners.

 These corners are perfect for the industrial look of the paper range.

We also have an extensive range of dies that will work perfectly with this range of papers and embellishments.

 One of my favourite finishes for chipboard and also for adding texture to papers, card or other embellishments are embossing powders. Choose from opaques, metallics, multicolor, antiques and textures.

Until next time,

Happy Scrapping

Trucks and gears and swirls, oh my!

Hi there! I have a couple of projects to share with you all today. 

First up is a layout titled Lights on the Hill. 

I've used a Mask to do the large cog on the background which I then filled with Finnabair's Graphite Texture Paste (OMG you NEED this stuff!). I also coated 3 of the Gears from the set of 4 in the same Graphite Texture Paste and then spritzed some copper Glimmer Mist over the top for a rusted up type of look. The Truck chippy was painted white and then I added a strip of green Washi Tape to match the truck in the photos. The truck was then outlined with a black gel pen and had buttons added for wheels.

Secondly, I have a pair of cards using the gorgeous little swirls in the Music Notes set.

The chippies were both cut in half and coloured in with a brown felt pen. The right one was coated in Dimensional Magic, and then both were outlined in a gold gel pen.

                 

Always remember, A2Z Scraplets are so versatile you can alter your chippy in many ways to suit what you're working with. 

Until next time... keep calm and craft on!

Ink, paint, mist, embossing powders, dimensional magic .....

Chipboard would have to be my favorite scrapbooking embellishment. There are so many mediums that can be used to give them a brilliant finish. 

My first page share is one where I've used the 'waste' piece from the "Shabby Circles" set (included in the pack) and one of our new wordlets "Love this life". Simply finished with a black paint for a matte frame and title on the page.

 The next one is using an older title which suits the photo quite well. I've painted this one out to highlight the flame part of the title. The cogs from one of the cog sets have been inked and heat embossed using a couple of metallic and rustic powders.

 Paints and mists were used to create the marbling finish on the star frame Scraplet. Sprayed while the paint is still damp allowed the mists to swirl and blend for individual look.

 "It's the little things" title depicts my grandchildren were out 'looking' for the Smurfs at Easter. Thinking they were going to be rather small they were quite surprised when the finally found them and they were HUGE.

Until next time, happy scrapping *Deb*

Dt Inspiration with Caz

Hi Caz here today with a couple of shares that will hopefully inspire you.
First of all we have a layout I created with 2 of my daughters dance recital photos.

Some close ups.

Next we have a layout I created of my beloved Bon Jovi from the concert we went to back in December 2013

 Some close ups once again just adding some texture paste to the scraplets here and there to give them some definition and then some misting with various colours.

I used the following scraplets
