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

April release by Petra

Today I am showing 2 pages with the new releases using 4 different Scraplets. This was the most beautiful release so far according to me Deb has really blown the hole DT away with her designs WOW. On this first page I just wanted to keep it simple to let the Scraplets stand out. I combined with my current favorite collection Styleboard by Maggie Holmes from Crate Paper.

The frame I just colored with Peacook Feathers Distress ink. Also the title 'as time goes by' has Peacook Fethers together with some light embossing to make it shimmer. The swirly circle I colored with Tattered Angels Chalkboard glimmer mist Strawberry Shortcake to get the same matte Finnish and then I embossed with glitter embossing on some parts of it.

 Page #2 is made using the same collection Styleboard by Maggie Holmes from Crate Paper. I just added a gold embossed title as the final touch to get it special.

When I embossed the title 'love this life' I tried gold spray from Crafter's companion and then added gold embossing powder when the gold spray was still wet. When heating I got this really bubbly boiling effect... Love it.

Supply:
Maggie Holmes Styleboard collection from Crate Paper
Gold spray from Crafter's companion
Mist from Tattered Angels
Distress Ink from Ranger
Different embossing powders
Scraplets from A2Z Scraplets  used:

Love this life

Shabby circles

Chevron Polaroid Frame

As time goes by 

Ink, paint, mist, embossing powders, dimensional magic .....

Chipboard would have to be my favorite scrapbooking embellishment. There are so many mediums that can be used to give them a brilliant finish. 

My first page share is one where I've used the 'waste' piece from the "Shabby Circles" set (included in the pack) and one of our new wordlets "Love this life". Simply finished with a black paint for a matte frame and title on the page.

 The next one is using an older title which suits the photo quite well. I've painted this one out to highlight the flame part of the title. The cogs from one of the cog sets have been inked and heat embossed using a couple of metallic and rustic powders.

 Paints and mists were used to create the marbling finish on the star frame Scraplet. Sprayed while the paint is still damp allowed the mists to swirl and blend for individual look.

 "It's the little things" title depicts my grandchildren were out 'looking' for the Smurfs at Easter. Thinking they were going to be rather small they were quite surprised when the finally found them and they were HUGE.

Until next time, happy scrapping *Deb*

Bon Voyage! By the time you read this I hope to be relaxing with my feet up. Although I am getting in early on my travel pages for our holiday. A few years ago we decided to take the kids on a 'once in a lifetime' holiday. To date we haven't had more than a few days away at a time so plans were put into place, funds saved and the day has finally come. You can expect more pages of our experiences over the coming months but here is the first taste of what we're looking forward to - some rest :)

So for a tropical layout I've cut the first two words off the title and used a multicolored ink pad to color the Scraplet "You are a dream come true" and inked and heat embossed both this and the "Palm tree."

My next layout is of a dear friend and I one night at a Jazz concert where we met the lovely Lisa Williams who was performing. I've used a couple of the new Scraplets here - "Shabby Circles" and "Love This Life word set". Just using one of the circle pieces and the word love from the set. The Scraplets were again inked but then finished with a mist of gold shimmer Glimmermist.

My final page is of my two gorgeous grad-daughters. The photo is framed with a Scraplet frame which has been given dimension and texture with impasto. A couple of Scraplet flourishes have been finished the same way and tucked in under the flowers and bow.

The title was colored white and misted with a pearl glimmermist, leaving the heart in the centre to be colored to match the page and given a coat of sparkle dimensional magic.

A close up of the impasto finish on the frame.

Until next time, Happy Scrapping
