Wedding Bells

With a large family we never seem to be short of weddings, births or anything in between. 

My first layout is using some new Scraplets - "Wedding rings corner", "Vintage dress form" and one of the leafy flourishes. A mixture of techniques including crackle paint, distress paints, mists and dimensional magic have been used to alter the chipboard.


A close up of the crackle paint and metallic distress paints used.


 Blending the new with the old. The original flourishes have a place in every scrappers chipboard stash. Coming to the website as new release Scraplets are the title "A perfect Moment" and the circular framing piece "Scribble Heart frames", a set of 3 fantastic framing scraplets that suit an unlimited number of photos and pages.



 Simply painted with distress paints and misted with a pearl shimmer adds an elegant finish for this wedding album's layouts.


 One of the new additions to our family - Miss Molly. One of her favourite places for a while was in my paper shelving.


 I love my dimensional magic and this time I used clear and sprinkled an iridescent glitter over it whilst wet.

Using the old and new Scraplets

Hi Deb here today with a few pages I've done lately.

This first one is a photo I love and the Scraplet suits the thoughts at the time. My son desperately wanted to be a farmer from the day he understood having a job. I've let the photo be the central focus and tied the color of the Scraplet in by simply painting it with a dabber paint. I find these the easiest, quickest and best finish on chipboard.



The next page is from  our recent holiday. Most of the family were keen to have a go at pretty much anything. We'd seen the cooked bugs and were interested to try them out. Our son, aged 9 being the most keen! Actually they aren't too bad. Sort of like eating nuts or chips - no great flavor apart from the lime and salt - all texture and texture it was. 


The title "Bugs" was painted with a mix of colors tying in with the color palette of the page and then finished off with my very favorite finish - Rock Candy Crackle Paint. 


Whilst I've been designing the new Scraplets I'm coming up with some new products and over the coming months you'll see texture pieces coming. Pieces of finer chipboard that can be pulled apart and added as extra dimension. Below I've used a piece of chicken wire that is malleable enough to age or distress it. It was finished off with the same palette of paints, randomly dabbed over it. 


The Scraplet word awesome and moments were inked with metallic copper and added to the page.


My last share for the day uses a new Scraplet - Circle of Stars Frame. We've created quite a range of new frames similar to this - fairies, butterflies, hearts .............. something for any occasion. I love the excitement of the first catch in this photo.


All these and many more Scraplets are available from retailers around the country.  Check out our facebook page and website for more information http://www.a2zscraplets.com.au/retailers.php

Thanks for popping in and remember, A2Z Scraplets run a monthly challenge on the blog. We will be giving away a parcel of Scraplets and a Guest designer position. 

Happy Scrapping *Deb*

Cruisin..

Hi everyone, Kerry here today to share some layouts that i have been doing. On Australia Day this year, hubby and i headed over to adelaide for an Australian day cruise with the Hk-Ht-Hg Club of SA. These are the layouts from that day. Note not all the photos were taken by me so cant take credit for all the photos.

This one was though and my view on the cruise. I used the leftover piece from the shabby circle pack on here.


I randomly put on some embossing powder on the circle to shabby it up a bit more. You can find the pack here http://www.a2zscraplets.com.au/shabby_circles_set_of_4_frames.html


These photos were not from me as i am in them. But on here i have used 'This Guy Set PL'.
I have left them raw on here to stand out. You can find them here http://www.a2zscraplets.com.au/this_guy_set_pl.html

'This is what awesome looks like'. I have painted the title red. These pics were taken by hubby half out of the car...You can find the title here http://www.a2zscraplets.com.au/this_is_what_awesome_looks_like.html



Here are the shabby circles again. I just love them.......




Thanks for stopping by and hope i have inspired you a bit to use your scraplets.
Kerry xx
