"Picture Perfect" Scrapbook Layout by Louise

Hi Scrap Friends

Louise with you today sharing a new layout

"Picture Perfect"

I just love this title but found it very hard to find a photo/s to use with it.

You can find "Picture Perfect" chipboard here

To achieve this chipboard look, follow the steps below: 

- Cover chipboard with gesso

- Starting at the top, apply different colour gelatos (I used green, blue and turquoise) in an ombre effect

- smudge the colours with your finger so that they blend

- repeat with more colour until desired effect is achieved

- cover chipboard with clear embossing powder to seal

The background of this page is:

- white and silver acrylic paint spread with an old reward card

- Liquitex glass bead gel mixed with Colour blast shimmer dust in "Midnight" 

- Apply through stencil allow to dry naturally

Thanks for visiting.

Happy Scrapping. 

A perfect day by Judith Armstrong

Hi and welcome to the weekend and my last share for this month. Today I have a heritage page to share. I am a very keen family historian and I have lots of old family photos. It's one of the reasons I got into scrapbooking. This layout features the wedding of my great aunt back in the 1930s.

Lots of times we tend to put photos under frames but this time I decided to put my photo over the corner of the rose thorny wreath frame . I also used the distressed diamonds stencil with some texture paste behind the frame. 

Here are some close ups

I painted the chipboard with gesso and then coloured with gelatos which I then spread over the chipboard with baby wipes.

As the patterned paper was quite busy I kept the extra embellishments to a minimum just adding some flowers which matched the paper, a doily and some muslin.

Thanks for looking

Judith

Boys will be boys

Good morning!

If you're anything like me you may find it difficult to scrap boys.  Girls are soooo easy - add some flowers, tizzy the page up and there you have it.  Boys on the other hand……
Well, I have a boys layout for you using more than 1 photo!!  It is a fun, easy layout that incorporates some texture paste and gelatos!!

Close up of the Boys will be Boys chipboard…

This title was simply spritzed a few times with Heidi Swapp  Navy Colour Shine.  Too easy!!


For my second layout, I was inspired by the colours in our mood board challenge.  I was very attracted to the yellow - its such a happy colour!

Here's a closeup of the title - "Close to my Heart"

To achieve the look I have on the title, I coated the chippie with gesso, then inked the edges (as best I could) with black ink.  I then generously coated it all with Crackle Accents and left it overnight to dry.  The thicker the coat of crackle accents the better the effect.  When I came back in the morning it had crackled beautifully, so I then swiped it over with some yellow ink and rubbed it into the cracks while at the same time rubbing off the excess.  I love this effect and must give credit to Tina Ollett for teaching me this technique.

I hope you are inspired to try something new - be it gelatos or crackling your chipboard pieces.  Don't forget about our mood board challenge!

Until next time, happy scrapping.

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

Belinda :)
