"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. 

"Shine" Scrapbook layout for September challenge with Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I'm sharing my take on this months challenge "Shine"

We'd like you to create a Christmas page without using traditional colours.
I chose mint & silver.

The chipboard pieces are
Shine word and Bec's Christmas tree shape

 

For the Shine word, I added first a coat of Colour Blast embossing powder in "Steel" and then a coat of "Snow White"

For the Christmas Tree, I added a coat of white gesso, then coloured with my Tim Holtz Distress Crayon, then added a coat of Colour Blast embossing powder in "Snow White" - for that little bit of sparkle.

I love how this layout has a definite Christmas feel (with that sweet photo) but there is no traditional colours.

We sure hope you can play along this month.

"Our Home" Scrapbook layout by Louise for Kraft + Challenge December inspiration

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise with you today.

This month I got to play along with Kraft + challenges

My layout "Our Home"

Inspired by this moodboard:

This challenge came at the perfect time.
I've been meaning to update our household pictures for awhile but they keep getting pushed to the back of the queue.

The A2Z Scraplets shop has some awesome home inspired chippie's. 

I've used 

House set small &

Our Home word

The Our home is treated with embossing powder in "Steel" and "Royalty".

I've applied it in different layers to give the blended look.

The house set got a coat of gesso and then coloured with Tim Holtz Distress crayons.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Happy Days" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise with you today sharing a new layout.

"Happy Days"

For this page I've used a couple of different chippies and ...

NO mixed media background.

I wanted to let the papers and embellishments speak for themselves.

I'm trying to challenge my scrapbooking go to's and think outside my comfort zone.

I started with the "He Loves to" journalling block - here

I've treated it with a coat of white gesso then coloured with black marker and used it to include my journalling.

I've also included the "Tangled shape sets" stars 

which I've treated with navy blue embossing powder to match the layout.

The paper and embellishments are by Echo Park from the "Pinstripes" collection.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

Just The Way You Are

Good morning! I hope you're having a fabulous day and getting some time in your crafty room! Today I have a nice and simple layout to share with you.

I've used papers from a mixture of collections by Echo Park, fabric tape and some doodling.

The Just The Way You Are scraplet was embellished with Stampendous Shabby Green Embossing Enamel, and the Chain Link scraplets were inked with StazOn Dove Grey and outlined with a white gel pen.

Until next time, keep calm and craft on!
