Travel photos

Hi, Deb back with you again with a few more holiday photos. 

I am constantly amazed by what I see in our travels around the world. Handcrafts always attract my attention. To see first hand what other craftspeople make is so inspirational.


 I used the Bamboo Shape 1 to tie the elements together. It is simply painted in a combination of 'camouflage' colors.


 My second page uses an older Scraplet for the title - Wet N Wild. The photo is from the day we arrived in Phuket during the Thai New Year or Water Festival Songkran.


 This chipboard went through quite a few alterations. First I applied a base coat of impasto mixed with blue paint and allowed that to dry. At that stage it was too bright and stark for the page. So I gave it a light stippled coat of white paint. Once this was dry, I finished it off with a coat of Dimensional Magic. Once dried it has a brilliant wet look to it.


Until Next Time
Happy Scrapping

Embossing chipboard .............




 Tracey is with us again today with another gorgeous page using the title Scraplet P.S. I love you. One of the frames from the set Live Laugh Love Polaroid Set has been used to frame the photo.



 I have dusted off the embossing powders and have been having a play – black embossing powder is a nice & easy way to get your titles covered and gives them a great clean and glossy coating…. I have also used it with my dotty stencil but have used the white …. Love the effect that you get when using these mediums.


Until Next Time,
Happy Scrapping

Love Always

Hello, Deb with you on the blog today. 

I've been looking back at some of my 'older' photos and reminiscing a little. The page I decided to share today is of my last child. Wow, where has that time gone? My eldest is 30 and my youngest 15, no wonder I feel like I've been a mum for a while!



I was really happy with the way this page turned out, especially the Scraplets. I played around with gesso and paint to get some subtle texture and a soft pearly pink finish.


I sponged the gesso on, let it dry then gave it a coat of light pink paint. Once that had dried I then dabbed a pearl paint over that. The finish is so soft and pretty.


I used the Love Always and Fancy Butterfly chipboards on this page. 

Until next time
Happy Scrapping
