"Heaven on Earth" 9x12 Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Here is a new layout "Heaven on Earth"

Sometimes when my mojo goes AWOL I like to create a 9x12 page which can sometimes kickstart my creativity.

This page uses scraps of paper with a sunburst stencil.

It was pretty busy with patterns so I left the 

Heaven on Earth chipboard

fairly basic.

I gave it a coat of sparkly black embossing powder.

I also added the cutfile in the photo background and embellished with stickers and cotton.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Cheeky" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

How bout a really, really "boy" layout - "Cheeky"

The inspiration for this page came from the pop of green in the photo.
Master C loves green so I wanted to make this a page with a strong green focus.

This collection is from Jillibean Soup - 2 Cool 4 School.
I decided to pair it with some of the Nested Circles
Each given a different colour of Distress Crayon.

I've also used the "Cheeky" word and covered it with Colour Blast Embossing Powder. 

I haven't added too much mixed media but I did add some Nuvo glitter paste to the background through a star stencil!

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Fingers and Toes" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Sharing a new scrapbook layout "Fingers and Toes"

While recently looking through some baby albums I found a bunch of photos that hadn't been scrapped. So I'm working through some baby pics (even though my boys are now 5).

I started with the lovely Fingers and Toes chipboard.

I've used Colour Blast Embossing powder in "Indigo" to colour it.

I also discovered this super sweet "ABC" blocks chippie.

I decided to leave it a little raw.

I used water colours to highlight the letters and then used the Uniquely Creative sparkle pen to colour the edges.

Other elements on this page are watercolour background, paper frames, splatters, stickers and paper layers.

Thanks for visiting.

"Proud Much" interactive scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Here to share a new scrapbook layout 

"Proud Much"

I was lucky enough to head along to the Brisbane Scrapbook expo in June.

I took a class with Jenny Heaslip Scrapbooker

Jenny makes the most wonderful interactive pages.

I decided to go ahead and make one for this layout.

The front page folds back and reveals the journalling and a second photo.

I couldn't resist the Proud Much?!!!! Chipboard

At the Scrapbook expo I also picked up some of the new Colour Blast embossing powders, this one "Sparkling Sands" is just exactly like the name.

Other elements on this page are from the Kaisercraft Stargazer collection.

Thanks for visiting.

"Memory" Scrapbook layout by Louise for August Challenge

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Did you know that over in the Facebook group we have a monthly challenge.

Here is my inspiration page ...

"Memory"

I just love the colours of this months moodboard and those butterflies = sigh!

I had a grid pattern in mind, so I gathered some project life cards, some 3x4 photos and a couple of chipboard pieces.

The Camera Squares are one of my fav chipboards - I love how it looks poking out of this cluster.

I've also used the Circle Set and some sweet Butterflies.

For the border, I've added some stripes with Distress Crayons and smudged them.
It needed a little something extra, so I also added some texture stamping.

Thanks for visiting.

"Need for Speed" Scrapbook layout + step by step by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

I'm so pleased to be sharing this new layout with you

"Need for Speed"

I have used the

Need for Speed Chipboard

I grabbed some photos of Master C - riding his bike and then stacking his bike - perfect!

I had the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Boys Rule" collection on my desk and it was just screaming at me to create with it.

So I grabbed some frames and papers to create a cluster.

I haven't used the washi tape technique for a while, 

So I grabbed a roll and used it to cover the "Speed" word part of the chipboard.

Once I was happy with the layers I wanted to add a little colour.

So I brought out my favourite medium - Distress Crayons.

I used the three colours to add a fireworks pattern  for behind the cluster.

To finish the page, I've simply embellished and added some black splatter.

I love how quick and easy this page was - but with such an interesting result.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"You melt my heart" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Red is one of those colours that I love but find it very challenging to scrap with.

So for this page I let the chipboard inspire me.

"You melt my heart"

I've used the new Colour Blast embossing powder.
"You melt my heart"

I've raided my stash and chosen lots of different red, black and white patterns and then layered them. I then added some messy white gesso before curling the edges of the papers and adding some black ink splatters.

I adore this photo of Master Z being so cheeky and playing coy.

Thanks for visiting.

"Blessed" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

One of my favourite things about chipboard - it really is so easy to embellish a page and create texture without too much effort.

Today's layout is a lovely simple page ... "Blessed"

I just love these adorable photos - they really show the friendship and individuality of my boys.

I've used the title Blessed
and coated it with white heavy gesso before creating a ombre look by combining distress crayons

In the layout you'll also find the Nested circles
which I've covered with "Apple of my Eye" embossing powder.

Background is simply Colour Blast paste "Sunshine" applied through a stencil and paper layering.

I'm loving the bright and textured result of this page - especially with the vibrant photos. 

It was lots of fun and super easy to put together.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Brothers" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Here to share a new scrapbook layout "Brothers, Buddies, Best Friends"

When my mojo has taken a holiday ... I download a new cut file and have a little play.

This page is a backed cut file, which I've then embellished.

Firstly with Colour Blast spray in "Bling"

Then I've done some stash busting.
Collecting items with the turquoise and black colour theme in mind.

On this page, I've used the Brothers Word and treated it with Colour Blast "Envy" embossing powder.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Adorable" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I'd like to share a new scrapbook layout "Adorable"

This month over in the A2Z Scraplets papercraft challenge facebook group you'll find a fun moodboard to play along with.

The explosion of colour was my inspiration. So I took a a neutral paper collection (Kaisercraft Pen & Ink) and added some colour.

We'd also like you to scrap a celebration.

You can find this "Adorable" word in the A2Z Scraplets shop.

I've firstly coated it with white gesso, then coloured with Distress Ink.

Finally I've given it a coat of Colour Blast embossing powder "Snow White"

In the background layers, you'll also find the Jenny Frame, which I've covered with black gesso.

The mixed media background features texture paste, Colour Blast Shimmer dust and black gesso.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Fantastic Autumn Day" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Sharing something a little different.

 "Fantastic Autumn Day"

In the A2Z Scraplets Store you will find some great "Summer, Autumn, Winter & Spring" titles.

For this page, I've used the Autumn word and decided to make it a real title focus.

I started by cutting the word "Day" with the Silhouette Cameo and then I wanted to raise it up and put some colour behind it.

The Autumn word has two coats of Colour Blast Embossing Powder "Apple of my Eye"

The colour inspiration for this page, came from the photos. Master Z playing in this fun green playground equipment.

I decided to focus on those green colours - I added Colour Blast sprays to the background and then lots of distressed stamping around the edges.

I really like how different this page is to my usual paper style layouts and as a bonus it was really easy and fun to put together.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.
