Hi Belinda here today to show you a layout I did for the Creation Magazine Blog a few weeks ago using, of course, some awesome A2Z Scraplets.



For the background I used a bit of washing up liquid on some glad wrap, spread it around and sprayed some mist on it. Then placed my cardstock (which has been gessoed and then placed a stencil over that and used texture paste on it) and then lift it up and left to dry. I then stamped over it.



I used a few Scraplets on this layout. Here is the Joined Hearts (HEAD HERE and comes with 2 in a pk) which I lightly gessoed. The wave is also a Scraplet (flourishes one I think) but was left over from where I cut it up for another layout. That was gessoed and had a bit of ink on it



Last if the Heart Arrow (HEAD HERE and comes in a set of 4) Again gessoed and ink.

The smaller Scraplets are awesome to use and you can put many on a layout without over crowding it.

Thanks for looking

Belinda

Hi from Petra

hello there...

I am Petra Offrell a.k.a. pysselpetra from Malmö, Sweden. I have 3 kids, 2 cats, one dear husband and a passion for Scrapbooking. I love to try new techniques and different media and I also like to challenge myself to try new things and styles. 

I love turquoise, brown, orange and lime but I find myself scrapping all kinds of colors. Papers with well-coordinated colors and beautiful patterns make my heart beat a little bit faster. 

I stamp, I paint, I mist, I tear, I stitch, I cut and I punch. My style varies from Clean & Simple to lots of details .. always with some artsy elements and I almost always use masks and distresses or mist on the background.






I have choosen a few of my favorite A2Z pages - it was hard - I love them all LOL

Hi from Caz

Hi everyone Caz here today.

As A2z is undergoing some huge changes with the new ownership and Deb testing her feet and trying to get everything running perfectly in the background we have decided to reintroduce ourselves to you all. As you probably know my Name is Carolyn I live in a little town in Tasmania with my wonderful hubby and 10 year old twins, I have 3 children but one son has left home and is out working and has just recently announced he is going to make me a Nan-so excited. For those of you who are new followers to the A2z blog I have been on the design team here for coming up to 5 years wow how time flies. I don't think I have a particular style I do love flowers and lumpy pages. We have been asked to share some favourite pages with you. I found it so hard as you can imagine over 5 years I literally had 100's of pages to choose from. Here is a small selection of some of my A2z creations over the years. I hope you enjoy.

Treasure my Family. I am a softie for these lovely script titles. Treasure was so perfect for this page

 My mum on her wedding day. Love this scraplet title

A special moment of my son and mother in law at a family wedding.

The last thing I have to share with you is an OTP. It is made from 2 canvases I hinged them together making a box book. The top here where you see the A2z title US is usually the back of a canvas I covered and decorated it and added a transparency over the top to give a different effect. There is many a2z treasures within this lovely book.
I hope you have enjoyed the little insight into me and a few shares from over the years. Till next time. Happy Scrapping

Hello...Hellooooo.....

Its Kylie sharing today here on the A2Z blog.


All my life I have lived in a small town in the Snowy Mountains called Tumut.
Its a beautiful town highlighted by the seasons - we have snow only an hour away and a dam for recreational activities 20 minutes away.
I married my wonderful husband in 1999 and have 3 gorgeous girls- Kayley, Emma and Bridget.
I was introduced to scrapbooking by a neighbour and I haven't put down my paper trimmer and paper down since!!!!
I love to doodle and use bright colours on my layouts.
Trends come and go, and I like to try new scrapping techniques all the time but chuck a bit of doodling on my page too which is "me".
In the scrapbooking world, there are many talented scrappers out there and the inspiration is overwhelming to say the least.
My family inspire me to scrap- preserving the memories is very important in life.

I have a blog which I try to keep updated but life does get in the way sometimes, so its not updated as much as I would like it to be..LOL.
So do pop over and say HI when you have a chance.

Kylie's Place

Today I thought I would show a recent layout and one of my favourites using A2ZScraplets.

My first layout was created for this months sketch challenge at STUCK.


I have used this chipboard piece:


You can find this piece here.

Now my favourite layout I have picked which represents my style:


I have used the Arrows from our last new release in Nov last year which you can find here.

Thanks for stopping by today.
I so love sharing my creations with you all and look forward to seeing some of your creations in our monthly challenges.

Kylie
