wow the year is flying

Hi
Caz here with you today to share 2 layouts that I have recently created using some yummy A2z scraplets.
The first layout is of course of my grand daughter. I used the word Could you be any cuter?

I love this word and it fits perfectly with the pic of my grand daughter
 

I just used a light pink Kaisercraft Paint on the scraplet.
 
Products used were:
A2z scraplets chipboard
Prima and Kaisercraft flowers
Lindy's stamp gang mist
White Bazzill
Prima embellishments
Kaisercraft pearls
 
Now my second layout is a bit different.
On this layout I used the following scraplets:
 
 

 Lots of different coloured mists and texture paste was used on the background. Once again I just used Kaisercraft paint to colour the scraplets.
Products used were:
A2z scraplets chipboard
Bazzill
Tattered angels glimmer mist
Kaisercraft paints
sequins
Texture paste
scrap patterned paper
 
I cannot believe next time I post it will be December.
 Are you looking forward to the festive season?
I sure am.
Till next time
Happy crafting

Christmas is on it's way!

Hi Deb here today. OMG it's getting close to Christmas again. Where did the last year go??? This sudden startling realization lead me to dig out a photo of the first tree we put up in our new home. With kids and fur babies about it pays to keep the decorations simple and/or out of reach! 

I have used a couple of the new chipboards from A2Z Scraplets's November release, 'Trimming the Tree GR' and 'Geo Trees'


Trimming the tree is very simply painted with an Adirondack paint dabber. Love these, so easy and so little mess to clean up. I've then just given it a covering of dimensional magic to for a bit of 3D and gloss. This is a really great medium for chipboard as you can add bits and bobs to it - glitter, beads, small metal pieces, whatever will fit will stick.


One the trees I have tried something a bit different. Puffy fabric paint and glitter. I applied a thick layer of paint then sprinkled glitter randomly over it. Not covering it completely to allow the paint itself to puff through. Being impatient I didn't bother to let it dry properly before I heated it gently, carefully controlling the 'puff' as I did. I love the effect if has given on the trees.


Materials used: 
Bella papers
A2Z Scraplets
Little Birdie Burlap Doily
Christmas Paper clip

The next page uses one of the Christmas page frames. These are a quick and simple way of putting a page together when you have a few to do.

With this one I have left unaltered and simply written the journalling around the edges. 


Materials used:
Cardstock
A2Z Scraplets


Until Next Time, 
Happy Scrapping

#Cute A2Z Scraplets Hashtag word and star in a circle

Have you seen the #hashtag words? They are so useful. And in the latest release we also got the cutest shapes in circles Love them ♡


 I made the background using lots and lots of masks and modeling paste. Then I covered it all with gesso. After it was completely dry I sprayed it with green and blue mist and water to make it drip.


The star in a circle I just white embossed and then painted some very thin layer of gold stickers on top. i also covered the rest of the shapes with a thin layer of gold stickels. 
The #Cute word I covered with several layers of gesso, mist, gelato and finally some transparent turquoise embossing powder to get a worn look.


The wood veneer feathers I just diped in turquoise acrylic color.
