Unique!

Hello Scrappers!

I am super excited to be here today sharing my first project for A2Z Scraplets! I am loving all of the designs that are available and the pricing is so so good! I can see that I am going to have a great time adding to my slash lol!

Anyway the reason I am here today is to share with you a layout using some gorgeous A2Z  chipboard. I am so happy with how it turned out and how the chipboard ties all of elements together. Here is the layout...

I really wanted to add a lot of texture to match the grungy feel of the layout. I ran the Unique word through my Big Shot in an embossing folder with both platform tabs open. I then painted the piece black and when that was dry I covered the piece with Distress Crackle Paint. Once that was dry I highlighted the piece with a little white gel pen and some Inca Gold in Copper. Here is a close-up of the detail...

I also added 2 little pieces of barbed wire to the layout. I painted these with black paint and then added a little Inca Gold in Copper to make them look rusty. Here is a close-up of the wire...

You can find the barbed wire in store HERE. The Unique will be available next month!

I hope that you have enjoyed looking at my layout and are inspired to get creating today! Make sure you have a look at the shop and check out all of the chipboard available for purchase - you are sure to find something to suit your needs :-)

Happy scrapping!

Bricks, birds and barb wire ......

I like to add a sense of humor to some pages ............... it's one way of getting some 'feeling' into a layout. So when we visited the Old Melbourne Gaol and had these photos taken it was just too hard to resist :) The pocket holds the information about the place with the wording of the Scraplet "a proud moment" used with a pun intended. Along with the "Birds on a barb" Scraplet depicting the security of the times and the old jail bird image.

 Nothing more was needed than simply inking with chalk ink for a matte finish on the Scraplets.

 Bricks and mortar again, barb wire and birds plus the 'waste' part from a circular Scraplet sets off another Jail Bird layout.

 Close up of the birds and barb.

 And to finish off today, something completely different. A sweet page using the title "Grandma's Girl"

Scraplets used can be found in your local or online scrapbook stores. Check out the website for more designs available A2Z Scraplets
