"A work of heart" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

Here to share a new scrapbook layout with you

"A work of heart"

On this page I've used the "A Work of Heart" chipboard

I've colored it with black ink and then painted on Colour Blast Shimmer Spray "Bling" for that lovely gold shimmer.

Then I've painted the heart with red water colour to help it lift off the page.

To decorate the rest of my page, I chose to use blue and red as they were the colours in the photos.
I've used Colour Blast paste in "Just Blue" through a stencil and added minimal embellishments.

Finally I've done some journalling - Very important, don't forget to right the story.

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.

"Funny Face" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I'm sharing a new page "Funny Face"

The "Funny Face" Chipboard was the perfect choice for these photos.

I decided to focus this page on the colour orange.

So I've treated the chipboard with "Tangerine" embossing powder from Colour Blast.

The background of this page is Colour Blast Spray "Sunset" over a DCWV paper which gives an awesome resist look.

All the other embellishments come from my stash - my focus for 2018 is to start using some of the items I've already got!

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.

"Please don't grow up" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise with you today.

I'm sharing my layout inspired by the August challenge.

"Please don't grow up"

This month we've got a fun sketch to use with the requirement to use a new product or technique.

I went looking through my stash and found this fabulous
Please Don't Grow Up Chipboard
I knew I had some great photos of my boys looking super grown up and it was perfect.

My technique is one I borrowed from the Colour Blast Blog.
Heat emboss the chipboard and while it's still hot, press a stamp into the embossing powder to add texture. I've used a Kaisercraft brick stamp.
To help my texture stand out, I've also "dirtied" up my chipboard with some white gesso.

This page features a water colour background and a bit of a cityscape theme - purely by accident - I chose most elements from my stash.

Really pleased with how this one turned out and it's disappointing that the photo doesn't do it justice.

Thanks for visiting.

"Pawprints on my Heart" Scrapbook Layout with Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I'd like to share a new scrapbook layout - "Pawprints on my Heart"

I've used the seriously cute

Pawprints on my heart

chipboard. I've given the chippie a coat of white gesso. I've used

Colour Blast "Bling" embossing powder on the word "heart" and coloured the other part with Distress Crayons.

This Double Scribble Heart

received a coat of Colour Blast embossing powder in "Royalty"

I didn't really start with a purple theme but I love the Royalty embossing powder so I kind of ran with it. No mixed media but a lovely symmetrical page.

Thanks for visiting.

"The perfect day" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I've got a new layout to share.

"The Perfect Day"

I'd had this photo developed but not yet used it on a page.
Well recently, my printer ran out of ink so I had to use photos from my stash while I waited for new ink to arrive.

This one grabbed my attention and I knew it was time to record the memory.

I've used
Stars and Hearts icons set
and
House set small shape

I've covered everything with gesso and then used Tim Holtz distress crayons and distress ink to colour the pieces.

The star pieces are fantastic. You get so many in a pack and they just add a lovely touch to the page.

This layout is very minimalist for me but I wanted to let the photo really shine.

Chipboard elements and a handmade flower finish this simple page.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Cute Indeed" Scrapbook layout by Louise using the 12x12 Triangle background chipboard

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today. I've got a new layout to share.

"Cute Indeed"

I've used the 12x12 background triangles
which I loved straight away but really struggled to complete the layout.

I went with bright rainbow colours in the background and embellishments.

The chipboard is treated with gesso + Tim Holtz Distress Crayons and 

then sponged roughly with texture paste.

My background paper received a coat of clear gesso 

and then different mediums to create the rainbow effect.

Thanks for visiting.

"# Funny" scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise with you today to share a new layout 

"#Funny"

I've discovered a new love for monochrome layouts.
I saw this paper and knew I wanted to create a yellow based layout

I created my background with acrylic paint, then added paste through the 

Staggered stencil

Some stamping and ink splatters to finish.

Lots of layers of different papers + the Mimi Doily 13 
has a coat of plane gesso and then was coloured and smudged with Tim Holtz Distress Crayon.

Love this one!

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Boys" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today to share a new scrapbook layout

"Boys"

I was immediately drawn to this honeycomb chipboard.

It came as a frame but I cut it in half diagonally to use it differently.

I gave it a coat of gesso and then layed it out on the page.

It wasn't until I started playing with paper layers and mixed media background that I decided what to do with the chipboard.
I used the Tim Holtz distress Crayons to colour the chipboard and then blended with my finger - no water needed.

The title received two coats of Colour Blast embossing powder in bling.

I've used the

Large chicken wire frame
&
My Boys scripty word

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Dude" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise with you today sharing a new layout.

"Dude"

This is a very photo light layout but I'm so pleased with the monochromatic feel of this page.

 

I've used the

Spotty Circles Set of 4

They've been treated with a combination of white and turquoise embossing powder.
The large turquoise circle has been raised up with mounting squares to help lift it off the page.

I've also lightly embellished with a Project Life card - trimmed to fit the circle and flowers and flair.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping.
