"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.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Fingers and Toes" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Sharing a new scrapbook layout "Fingers and Toes"

While recently looking through some baby albums I found a bunch of photos that hadn't been scrapped. So I'm working through some baby pics (even though my boys are now 5).

I started with the lovely Fingers and Toes chipboard.

I've used Colour Blast Embossing powder in "Indigo" to colour it.

I also discovered this super sweet "ABC" blocks chippie.

I decided to leave it a little raw.

I used water colours to highlight the letters and then used the Uniquely Creative sparkle pen to colour the edges.

Other elements on this page are watercolour background, paper frames, splatters, stickers and paper layers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"xoxoxo" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

On this day in Australia we remember all those who served and died in all wars, conflicts, and peacekeeping operations and the contribution and suffering of all those who served.

***

Today's project is not Anzac themed, but I hope you will still enjoy it.

My layout "xoxoxo"

Not only am I stash busting my way through 2018, but I'm getting through some photos too.
This is an oldie and not a particularly clear photo but I really wanted to record it.
I chose colours reflecting the photo - navy, blue and white.

Cooper loves to tell Pop stories so I thought the "xoxoxo" chipboard word would make a great title.

I gave it a coat of white gesso, coloured with Distress Crayons and then sealed with Colour Blast "Snow White" embossing powder.

As the page was developing and I was creating layers, I added the
Chipboard Frame
simply covered with Colour Blast "Steel" embossing powder

Background featuring Colour Blast sprays.

The rest of the page features some paper layering and stickers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Weekend Escape" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Bringing you a new layout "Weekend Escape"

For this page I actually chose my chipboards first and then built the page around that.

Firstly the "Weekend Escape" chipboard.

Treated with black gesso.

Then these really great Camera Squares.

Which I've seperated and then covered with Colour Blast Embossing powder in "Envy" and Bling".

I'm really terrible at remembering to take photos of DH and I, but while we were away seeing the live show of Mrs Brown's Boys - I decided to snap a couple.

The background is so simple and all the items on the page come from my stash.

I just love how all the little cluster areas form interesting elements on the page.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Smile and be happy" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Sharing a new scrapbook page "Smile and be happy"

This page is similar photo to a page I shared a couple of weeks ago.

This is Master Z graduating from Kindy!

I've used the Smile and be happy word

treated with Colour Blast embossing powder "Steel" on the raw chipboard.

I wanted the background to be "clean mixed media" - yep it's totally a thing.

So I've used Distress Ink, white splatters and tags to create layers.

I've also added the Frame 110 chipboard piece.

I love how chipboard looks in the background of layers. It's so great for adding texture.

I wanted a semi-raw chipboard feel, so added some stamping with the Distress Ink and a little bit of white gesso.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Dream, Believe" scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

My share is a new scrapbook layout "Dream Believe"

This page features the "Dream, Believe" chipboard.

I've left it raw and then sprayed it with the Colour Blast "Indigo" spray.

This has given it a more "Navy" feel rather than Indigo because of the raw chipboard.

I've also used the Swirly Frame chipboard.

Simply coated with white gesso and Colour Blast embossing powder "Snow White".

I've used the My Minds Eye "Blush" collection for this layout.

The background paper had a coat of clear gesso, then I added lots of splatters using different size brushes of Colour Blast shimmer spray in "Steel"

A little bit of background stamping, some journalling and stickers finish this layout nicely!

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"That's my boy" scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise on the blog today.

Time to share a new layout - "That's my Boy"

Seriously, how cute are the 

Star Burst Frames?

I've given them a coat of gesso and then coloured them with Distress Crayons in coordinating colours with the background paper.

I adore this photo and all the bright fun colours on this page.

Other elements from ...
 Cocoa Vanilla Studio
& Just Add Flair

Thanks for visiting.

"Summer's Here" Scrapbook Layout with Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I've got a bright summer layout for you today... "Summer's Here"

This adorable collection is "Hello Sunshine" from Fancy Pants Designs.

Perfect for the
Summer's Here word

I've given it a coat of gesso and then coloured it with the Tim Holtz Distress Crayons.

I printed my photo in 5x7 and then overlayed with the
Arrows in a circle frame
coated with Colour Blast embossing powder in "Apple of my eye"

I've used the packaging technique on the background with Colour Blast sprays and used the bright die cut ephemera from the collection to accent the papers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Cute, Cheeky You" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Twig Square frame

Other elements on this page are from the Kaisercraft "Daydreamer" collection.

Lastly I've added some white and black splatters - leaving the elements to speak for themselves on this page.

New designs for December

Hello again fellow scrappers and chipboard addicts. I thought you'd like a sneak peak at what is coming next month - release date Dec 1. 

Just in time to scrap your Christmas photos over the summer are the two little beauties. 

We've also got some new stencils coming out. Love the fading brick wall and reverse stencil! 

We've added a new range of designs to our massive library - the Mimi range. These fabulous and intricate designs are just beautiful to work with and we're very proud to have them available to you direct or through one of our retail outlets. See page tabs on blog home page. 

A2Z Scraplets has always had a huge range of words and below are a couple of new ones added to the library. Our words are inspired by what I see every day people doing in their everyday lives, add to that the glimpses of adventure, tinges of love and family, seasons and special occasions. Words are about you, your memories, the scrapper, the mum, the dad, the family, fur family, the artist, the nature lover, and so the list goes on. 

Until next time

Happy Scrapping
