"Together" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Together"

I love how the photo can sometimes inspire the page.
I snapped this one of my new pup "Zara" all snuggled up with my big boy "Zeus".
I built some paper layers around the photo and then picked out some chipboard peices.

The Hearts in Rectangles makes a fabulous background piece.
I've coated mine with black gesso, then sprayed with Diamond Finish spray paint - quick & easy.



I picked it up at my local hardware store.
I love the glittery finish, with less mess than glitter!!

In the background I've used Distress Oxide Inks before stitching on a large circle.

Finally I've embellished the page with a Charms Creations chevron and some stickers.

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.

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. 

"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.

"Summer Yesss" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog with you today.

"Summer Yesss"

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

I've used the Summer word and found the most summer photos I had in my stash.

What colours go with Summer, Why yellow of course.

I didn't want the layout to be too yellow, so I teamed it with some orange elements.

The chipboard title has a coat of white gesso and then coloured with Distress Crayons.

I've also mounted it on foam squares to help lift it off the background.

I really like the white background with the bright colours and those pops of black from the doily's in the layers.

Sometimes I love the simple pages the most.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Celebrate" - Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Sharing a happy, fun Scrapbook layout "Celebrate"

Inspiration for this page came from the photo.

It was so bright and fun and I really wanted my layout to feel the same.

I left the Celebrate circle word plane, with just a coat of black gesso.

With so many bright elements, I added some Colour Blast "Singin the Blues" paste 

My paste got a little messy and I ended up with quite a bit extra on my white background - I covered this up by adding some blue splatters.

I've embellished the page quite lightly with some wood pieces, stickers and a flair.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"So happy together" scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Time to share a new layout "So happy together"

So 2018 has seen me focus on stash busting instead of "shopping" for new supplies.

I am loving the challenge of creating with items already available to me.

Behind the photo you'll see the circular piece of black and white.

This is actually a centre piece of chipboard left overs that I've covered with washi tape and paper strips.

To title this page, I've used the "So happy together" word

Firstly I've applied a coat of Colour Blast Embossing Powder "Just Blue".

Then I've masked the "So happy" words with washi tape before painting "together" with gel medium.

While the gel medium is still sticky, I've sprinkled the whole word with glitter.

Other elements on the page are a Charm's Creation star, Colour Blast paste and lots of paper layers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Hello Amazing You" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Here's a new scrapbook layout to share

"Hello Amazing You"

This page features two chipboards I've combined into one title.

The Amazing calligraphy word and

Admire You word.

Firstly I gave them a coat of white gesso, then coloured with my distress crayons.

Being an Australia Day layout, I coloured the chipboard sort of like the Australian Flag.

This page features a Kaisercraft background paper which I've sprayed with Colour Blast spray in "Carribean" - leaving a lovely resist result.

I've embellished lightly with a border of washi and some small paper items.

I just love this super cheeky photo - esky in the background, Aussie Day inflatable thong and a beautiful sunny background of the dam.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Funny Face" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I'm sharing a new page "Funny Face"

The "Funny Face" Chipboard was the perfect choice for these photos.

I decided to focus this page on the colour orange.

So I've treated the chipboard with "Tangerine" embossing powder from Colour Blast.

The background of this page is Colour Blast Spray "Sunset" over a DCWV paper which gives an awesome resist look.

All the other embellishments come from my stash - my focus for 2018 is to start using some of the items I've already got!

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise here with you today.

Sharing a layout "Moment Captured"

First was the chipboard - A Photo is a moment captured

I've given it a coat of Colour Blast "Sunshine"

Other elements on the page are washi tape, paper cut outs, doily's and elements from Charms Creations.

"Amazing" Scrapbook layout by Louise for October challenge

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I'm sharing my take on the October moodboard challenge 

"Amazing"

This month's moodboard is a slightly challenging colour palette and really pushed me past my comfort zone.

I decided to raid my stash for papers and embellishments.

I chose a photo of DH on a camping trip.
He hardly smiles for photos so I love this page when I see his happy smile.

I've added a
Chicken Wire Border
treated with gesso and then coloured with Distress Crayons.
I love how it looks with the cotton and the Charms Creations star!

I used the

Amazing Title

and covered with Colour Blast embossing powder "Tangareen Dream"

In the background you'll find some Colour Blast paste in "Snow White", some background stamping and some splatters.

This page quickly became one of my favourites - so easy and I really like the mix of patterns and paper tearing.

I look forward to seeing your creations.
