"Together" Scrapbook layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Today I'm sharing a layout for A2Z Scraplets

My layout "Together"

I love how the photo can sometimes inspire the page.
I snapped this one of my new pup "Zara" all snuggled up with my big boy "Zeus".
I built some paper layers around the photo and then picked out some chipboard peices.

The Hearts in Rectangles makes a fabulous background piece.
I've coated mine with black gesso, then sprayed with Diamond Finish spray paint - quick & easy.



I picked it up at my local hardware store.
I love the glittery finish, with less mess than glitter!!

In the background I've used Distress Oxide Inks before stitching on a large circle.

Finally I've embellished the page with a Charms Creations chevron and some stickers.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Can't live without" scrapbook layout by Louise - March pet challenge

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.

to share a new scrapbook layout "Can't live without"

This page is my inspiration piece for the March challenge.

So far for 2018 I've been focusing on stash busting. 

I love a challenge with a theme, because you can use what you have available.

This collection from Simple Stories was one of my favs a few years back so I dug it out and got creating.

I've teamed it with the

Can't live without title.

I've given it a light coat of Distress Ink so that it has a two tone effect, with the raw chipboard showing through.

Nrmally I would never put brown, red and yellow together but the collection combined those colours, so I figured "Why not?"

"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. 

"Create your own dreams" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise here today.

Sharing a new layout "Create your own dreams"

I used the

Create your own dreams chipboard

and coated it with Colour Blast embossing Powder "Deep Water".

I've also included the Chicken wire frame.

I gave it a coat of gesso and then used Distress Ink "Blueprint Sketch" to roughly add some colour.
I've cut it up and used it in the background.

The background paper was a half started page that ended up in the reject draw.
I added Minc foil to tissue paper and then used gel medium to adhere the tissue paper to the white cardstock.
The background also features Colour Blast paste "Steel" and splatters of Colour Spray "Caribbean"

I have further embellished this page with Kaisercraft stickers and die cuts, a flair from Just Add Flair and snuck a Charms Creations tab in there too.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"You & Me" July challenge inspiration scrapbook layout by Lousie

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

Here is my inspiration layout for the July challenge - "You & Me"

This month over in the challenge facebook page

we are playing along with this nautical themed moodboard.

For my layout I've used the 

You & Me Word

which I've covered with gesso and then used Tim Holtz distress crayons smudged over the top.

I've also dug up an old photo of Master Z and me at the beach.

I've also used this 

20sixteen word

and covered it with white embossing powder.

To start this page, I collected some stash papers and elements.

I had no clear direction but love the clean, layered look that I ended up with.

Here's an example of a previous chippie prize pack... You could win just by playing along.

Looking forward to seeing your creations.

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

"Wild Weather" Scrapbook Layout by Louise - September moodboard challenge

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise here of Timeless Craft Mumma

Today I'm sharing my first layout for the A2Z Scraplets team.

"Wild Weather"

My inspiration came from the colours, the chevron and I've also included some arrows.
Of course, I've also used the word Wild in my title.

I've used the Kiddie Sun Cluster Shape - available here

I've coloured the chipboard with Tim Holtz distress ink "Peacock Feathers"

Once dry, I've stamped with embossing ink and then used sparkle embossing powder and heat set.

Don't forget you can also use the centre of the chipboard as I've done on the page.

The circle pieces are also heat embossed with turquoise.

Would love to see you play along by uploading your page to the facebook group - here
You have the chance to win a delicious pack of A2Z Scraplets goodies!

A couple of Baby girl pages to share

Hi,

Caz here with you today to share a couple of pages I have created to share with you of my gorgeous grand daughter. She is growing so fast in about a week she will be 6 months old. Wow how that time has flown.

 The first page I used the word Early days. I left the title raw and just added some Tim Holtz Vintage photo distress ink to the edges as I think that fit nicely with the colour in the photos.

 I love the beadwork on these pretty prima Flowers

 

 

Products used were

A2z scraplets Early Days word

We r memory keepers Paper

Bazzill cardstock

Tim Holtz distress ink

Prima Flowers

Kaisercraft Captured moments journal cards

Kaisercraft collectibles

On this page I have used the lovely  A2z scraplets Beautiful Girl word

 

To decorate the scraplet I painted it in white gesso then I gave it a rub with my glue pad and added a pretty soft pink fine glitter to it.

Soft and simple I think

I hope you have gathered a little inspiration from my shares today.

 Till next time

Happy Crafting
