Footprints on my Heart layout

Hi everyone,
Hope you are all enjoying the inspirational blogposts at a2z! Today I'd like to share one I did with one of the new release titles: FOOTPRINTS ON MY HEART. I chose this lovely photo of my son and his partner to scrapbook and my aim was to keep it simple but elegant. I used versacolor ink on the title so that it toned in with the colour palette.

 
Take the time to visit the website as there are a lovely range of new releases that you might want to purchase for your next layouts.
                                                                     Enjoy your day!

Little Princess and Little Miss

Hello from Belinda, this is my first ever post as DT for A2Z!!!! I am thrilled beyond belief that I am on this team with all the other wonderful ladies!!!!
For you today I have 2 layouts to show, one I have done lots to the chipboard and one that I have let plain. I love the fact that no matter what you do or don't do to the scraplets they still look fab.

 

 

I have used 3 scraplets or this layout. All have been painted with gesso first before adding either paint of distress stain.

 



 

 

This butterfly had chipboard on each side which I cut off (and reused one side on this layout). After putting gesso on it I lighty inked it, then put a little embossing powder on it, heat that up and then painted over it.

 

 



 

 

I just love this title!!!! After gessoing it I lightly put pink distress stain on it. Under the title you can see the chipboard that was part of the butterfly. I used green ink on it to look like leaves

 



 

With this scraplet after gessoing it I used light blue paint to paint the heart and dab a bit around the swirls.

 

The Scraplets I used are

 

 



 

 

 

 

 

 

Now for the 2nd layout

 



 

Its a simple layout full off colour so I decided to leave the chipboard plain. Also goes with the beach look.

Texture Paste & Scraplets

Hi Everyone, 

Today I want to share a layout I created for last month it shows how you can use the Tree half Scraplet which you can purchase direct from A2Z Scraplets. 

My friend took this fabulous photo of her little girl playing amongst the leaves and with all of these beautiful Autumn hues I felt the tree was ideal to add to the page and  I teamed it up with Cheery Lynn Design dies to achieve the look you can see here.

 To get the tree to look like wood I swiped Texture Paste on it in sections , I did this randomly and very roughly … then I let it dry.

 As you can see from this close up I extended the random texture out to the branches also.Once the Texture paste dried I then mixed various shades of brown with dark and highlight tones. I painted the texture paste and the bare chipboard was left unpainted. Once dry I used my Zig Writer markers to fill in the other colors to give shadows in the places that I did not have texture paste.

I then assembled the layout and added the leaves. I chose varying colors and scattered them down the page as if they were falling off the tree.

The half tree is a definite must to try and is the perfect accompaniment to those Autumn layouts where the leaves are falling…

Have a great week of scrapping
