"I hope we catch a fish" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Here to share a new scrapbook layout "I hope we catch a fish"

The "Hope" word was all that was left from the "Dream word set" but I just couldn't work out how to use it. I started by covering it with black gesso.
Then I looked through my photo stash and came up with this one of Master C throwing a line.
I decided to turn the word "hope" into a longer title and used up some of my letters.

I left the layout quite simple with lots of paper tearing and layers.
The black star is a piece cut with my Silhouette Cameo.

I also used one of the "Nested Circles" and covered it with glitter - then added patterned paper behind it.

Items on this page are from the Cocoa Vanilla Studio 'Boys Rule" collection.

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. 

"The best day" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Here to share a new scrapbook layout "The best day"

This page features two chippies.
First the Leafy Stems

I decided to colour them with my Distress Crayons, so first they got a coat of white gesso.

Then with my chosen colours, I draw on the leaf and smudge the colour with my fingers.

Repeating the process with different greens.

Finally, just to bring everything together, I added a touch of green glitter paste.

I love how they look, tucked into the flower cluster.

I've also used the Picture Frame 15
Covering it with Nuvo embossing powder which has a gorgeous glitter element.

I love how cute this photo is of my boys at Dreamworld.
So simple to put together with a easy torn paper background and lots of A2Z Scraplets Chipboard elements.

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.

Happy Scrapping. 

"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. 

"Captured Moment" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Sharing a new layout

 "Captured Moment"

This page features the adorable Captured Moment chipboard

I've added a coat of Colour Blast "Just Blue" to go with the blue elements in my layout.

I've also used the nested circles chipboard

which I've treated with Colour Blast embossing powder in "Steel"

I've stash busted an older Kaisercraft collection for this page and left it nice and simple.

Behind the circles is some foiled paste, a little bit of Colour Blast paste "Singin the Blues" and some diamontes make for a lovely, easy backgroun.

Thanks for visiting.

"Happy Holiday Memory" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Here's a new layout "Happy Holiday Memory"

This layout started as a background experiement and quickly developed from there ...

I pulled out this washi tape that I didn't really know how to use.

I started making lines of it on the page and then covered the whole thing with clear gesso.

When the gesso was dry - I used Distress Crayon to smudge some more colour around the lines.

I also wanted some really subtle colour - so I sprayed some Colour Spray "Bling" freestyle.

Then I added some stamping and black ink splatters.

The chipboard pieces are the spotty circles

I've given them a coat of gesso and then covered them with metallic Distress Crayon.

Finally I've chosen this photo because it had a little pop of colour to go with my very neutral background.

I've added some journalling, title and butterflies to finish the page.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

Scrapbook layout "Love" with Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I've got a new layout to share.

"Love"

I've titled this page "Love" and used the

Love mini word

which I've treated with Colour Blast embossing powder in "Envy"

Next, I've made two cluster areas using the Kaisercraft "Mint Wishes" collection.

Which is designed as a Christmas range but I've used it for a boys page.

It's filled with some lovely patterns and florals.

Lastly around my photo I've used the
Circles on circles frame.
For this chippie, I've added a coat of gesso, then coloured with different distress crayons and coated with clear embossing powder.

My background features more distress crayons and some stamping.

Thanks for visiting.

"Relax & Unwind" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

The Relax & Unwind chipboard was the inspiration for this page.

I've coated it in black ink - Simple!



I chose some photos of my boys on the first trip to the movies - A great way to relax and unwind.

I've also used Nested Circles again treated with black ink.

I've kept this page nice and simple, with some machine stitching, black ink and some pops of red - to match with the photos.
