Hi, Deb here with you today. I've been so inspired to create scraplets for so many of our holiday photos although they are suitable for a wide variety of pages. 

I used the border word 'amazing' on this page along with one of the words from the set 'moments, memories'.



I started playing with some textures for these chipboards. Using gesso as the base, I applied it with a spatula to texturize the scraplet before adding paint.


To color the scraplet I used Tim Holtz distress paints in 3 colors, dabbing them on and then spritzing with water to blend lightly. The effect is a stunning and outstanding title.


One of the places we visited was an animal shelter. While these places may not be perfect, they do serve a purpose. The animals here were clean and well cared for and all had been rescued from the wild after accidents which had resulted in them being maimed and unable to fend for themselves.


Again, having fun with the gesso and using it with a stencil to create a background on the paper before building the rest of the page. A variety of techniques were used on the chipboard on this page. The 'lucky you' scraplet was painted white and finished with Rock Candy crackle paint. The background piece 'leaf litter' was painted with a mix of 3 different distress paints.


I love the versatility of these little arrows.


One last one for the day. An older scraplet was used here and the perfect title for the page.


Some of the Scraplets used on the above pages.

Until next time, 
Happy Scrapping

Hello again ...............

Hello again, I am just loving doing my holiday photos so bear with me as I travel through Thailand again. This page is of an unusual and very unique market area where the train passes through the stalls. 

I have used an older scraplet - the train set - as a border and simply added some ink and outlined some windows on the carriages.


I didn't use distressing techniques as such but used a punch to cut pieces out here and there.





I just love the bright little face on my grand-daughter in this photo and have scrapped the colored and black and white version of it on one page.

I framed the photos in the double Polaroid frames and used the words from the 'love this life' set. The frames have been painted with crackle paint while the word has been painted and then finished with Rock Candy crackle paint.


I love these hummingbirds and have used them to add dimension and embellishment to the page. They've been simply spritzed with a chalkboard mist to give some character and a little color to them



Our chipboards can be found in your local scrapbooking store or online store. If they don't stock them, ask if they'll get them in. Or check out our website A2Z Scraplets for more stockists. 

Until next time, happy scrapping

Netball, Out and About, We are Family ............

Hi Deb here again, sharing a few pages that I've enjoyed doing.

The first one is my daughter when she started playing netball. Herein lies the beginning of our sports line. I've also used a new Scraplet *This* and the netball title.


The next one was created using the title Out and About as well as the Chicken Wire.


The finish on the Scraplet is Tim Holtz Crackle paint, another product that works exceptionally well on chipboard.


One of the great things about the panels of texture pieces is being able to cut them up easily to add bits here and there to your project.


The last share for today is one of my husband's family. We are Family is a great title for any family page.


 I have used Opals for the altered finish on this Scraplet. Utee and the heavy use of embossing powders is a wonderful finish on your chipboard.


Look for these and many more products at your local Scrap Store or Online shop. Check out the link to find a retailer in your area. 

Til I see you again, happy scrapping
Deb
