Forever and Ever

Hi Belinda here today to show you my take on the awesome mood board challenge. If you have not entered you still have time AND there is an AWESOME prize up for grabs.

This is my first EVER layout from my (our) wedding. The photo was taken by Lata Photography.
As per normal for me I created my background using Washi Tape, Prima stamp and Gelatos

Forever & Ever is a new Scraplet and it went perfect with this layout. I have used Shimmerz and Hedi Swapp Spray on it.

Here I have used the 2 heart arrow (found HERE) and a new Scraplet 'heart map pointers' Again perfect for this layout. The pointer was painted in Shimmerz and the Arrow in Prima ink.

The 'Joined hearts' (found HERE) had Shimmerz painted on it and heat dried to give it a bumpy look.

Last is another heart pointer, inked in Prima ink

The mood board is:

I used the hearts and the pinks with the touch of Aqua.

Hope to see your entry soon!!!

Scraplets in a mini album

Hi Belinda here today to show you all about Scraplets in mini albums. I am only going to show you half the album today as its a lot of photos.

Mini Albums are awesome. They can be about a holiday,wedding or any theme. Mine is about my middle daughter. I have scrapped photos that mean something, a milestone but also ones that I have not scrapped before (hence why there is not many birth photos as I have scrapped all of them in the 12x12 style) I am going this mini album for her to keep in her bedroom and remember some important moments and look back on how much she has changed.

First up is the star. This is an awesome Christmas Scraplet, fab for PL and mini albums (as well as normal layouts). I misted it using Shimmerz mist then covered the back of the heart with a bit of paper.

These two has the leaves branches on them. Again awesome for PL and mini albums, adds detail without making the pages tooo lumpy. Again sprayed with a bit of mist.

Last is the arrow word (which I cut the point off) 'Love of my life'. I used Shimmerz (not mist this time, comes in a little jar) and heat set it. The heat makes it bubble and gives it texture. Again its perfect for PL and mini albums.

There is sooooo many awesome Scraplets that can be used like this. Check out the range HERE

And don't for get to enter this months challenge set by DT Petra. Hope to see loads of entries.

My take on the Mood Board

Hi I am here today to show you my take on the Mood Board Challenge set by Amy.

Here is my layout:

My inspiration was the rainbow and colours.

As you can see I used the added twist of using 'drops' to the hilt. The A2Z Scraplets I used are the butterflies. They come in a set of 6. I have used 2 on this layout. After gessoing them I used Gelatos on them and sprayed loads of water to get a watercolour effect. The rainbow was made from Gelatos too.

I have used loads of sequins too.

Here is the Mood Board:

Remember to add the added twist of 'drops' and have it uploaded by the 31st of December.

Thank for looking

New Release Scraplets!!!!!

Hi there I am here to day to show you the fab NEW RELEASE that I got to work with. And this is just the beginning of the New Release, there is heaps more up on the site!!!

The stenciled arrows are a new Stencil along with LOVE THIS, and the FLAG with LOVE on it.

LOVE LOVE LOVE (in a circle) and the FAIRY are the new release

HOOKED and the BIRD. Have to say I just loved that I got HOOKED as my girls love fishing with their Dad.

The RAIN GIRL and MEMORIES ARROW

The MUSHROOMS and LOVE YOU (in circle)

The Stencil work is the new stencil (same as the one I used above), MY DAD and MAP POINTERS (the arrows top right of photo. I have also used the arrows popped out on the background)

The FENCE (comes in a set of 2)

YOU AND ME (circle) and ARROW WITH 2 HEARTS

FENCE (it comes it a set of 2, the other one is in a layout 2 above this one) and TODAY (in circle)

Well that's it for me. When you click on the links (some might not have any yet due to the HUGE New Release) they will take you to the scraplet in the shop. Some come in sets and I have not used the full set on the layout. But that is the awesome thing about sets, you get more for your money AND can use them all on 1 layout or on many.

Keep an eye out for further posts on the New Release by other Dt's

Best Friends Forever

Hi I am here today to show you a layout that I did for the Diva Competition for Scrapbooking Creation magazine. I did not get in but this layout was chosen to be published. Have to say they choose my favorite layout from the 3 items I did for it.

I created my own background using Washi Tape, stencil and paint

The Scraplets was gessoed and lightly painted. I glued the pearl trim through the word 'Friends'. Tip: use a glue with a fine point...I did not and it was painful

This layout will be framed for the walls I think, one of the few times I am really happy with the finished product.

Now don't forget this months challenge.... Its a Recipe Challenge set by Kerry. You will see my take in my next post.

Thanks for looking

Different Background

Hi Belinda here to show you how to make a background using an A2Z Scraplet Stencil and gelatos. I did this layout for a challenge last month (Flourish With A Bling)

For the background I got a plain cardstock, gessoed it and with the Brick Stencil and Vera Mark Watermark Stamp, I roughly stamped over the stencil. I moved the stencil all over the page.
I then put clear embossing powder over it, shake off the extra and using a heat gun set it
With the gelatos I put the blue around the edge and yellow in the middle. I added water to it and blended the colours in making the yellow green

The leaves here are from A2Z Scraplets, I cut them up to put on either side of the photo. I used Gelatos to colour them in

And this is the title

I hope this inspires you to try out the vast range of Stencils that A2Z Scraplets have. Head HERE for the range. And don't forget to enter into this months sketch challenge.
