Treasuring Memories

Hello everyone! I hope you are well and safe! I want to share with you a multiple photos page that I created for 49 and Market using the Vintage Artistry Color Saige collection.  I started applying a coat of clear gesso to the Delicate paper that has a lovely design with leaves. I added textures on the background using the Gratitude Today stamp set with Versamark and white embossing powder. I framed three photos with the Vintage Artistry Sage Stitch Frames. Next, I created a design using the different laser cuts from the same collection. I started to embellish the page with the white Daisy stems and Sugar stems Fluff flowers. I added more textures using cheesecloth and white lace. I used a brush with Distress Ink to add color over the stamp work and around the embellishments. The title “Cherish” is one of the chipboard words from the treasure archival board. I applied microbeads and art stones with gel medium and added some Wishing bubbles and finally, white pa

Hello there! I have today a shabby chic layout that I created using the fabulous Creative Embellishments products. This time I wanted to use the chipboard as they are so I didn’t give any treatment to them. I use the beautiful  Intricate Circle Frame  to enhance the pretty photo. But before, I added textures to the background using the  Fairy Dust 2 Stencil  and modeling paste. The paper is from the Ceremony collection by Stamperia. I added a pretty butterfly between the flowers, it is from the  Butterflies (Set of 5) . I adhered the word Imagine from the  Dream Word Set  as my title on top of all the textured stars from the stencil work. I had so much fun creating this page and I hope it inspires you. Thank you so much for stopping by…until next time!! Hugs!! Marilyn

Hello my scrappers friends!! I have an art palette chipboard that I altered using the fantastic Creative Embellishments products. I started my project applying a coat of white gesso to the  Art Palette  chipboard.  Once it’s dry, I gave textures with the  Fairy Dust  stencil and modeling paste. You can watch all the creative process in the video tutorial at the end of this post. I adhered old brushes with gel medium but I wanted to create the effect that the brushes are flying so I adhered the beautiful  Fairy Wing Set 1   of each side of the brushes. I adhered with gel medium on the background some of the  Gear Set 2 Large  and the  Gear 1 1/2 .  Next,  I added flowers, pebbles, pearls and more textures mixing mini art stones with gel medium.  I gave color with Color Blooms and metallic paints. Other supplies I used: Prima Marketing: Art Basics- Gesso, Modeling paste Art ingredients- mini art stones, pearls, flowers Metallic Paints Ranger Distress I

Hi there!! Here's my first project with the beautiful Limited Edition kit by My Creative Scrapbook. Pam put together fantastic products in this kit. It is featuring the Havana collection by Prima Marketing, fabulous chipboards by Creative Embellishments, fantastic stencils by Vicky Boutin and much more...  Now let me show you what I did with the kit and I also made the video tutorial 😊 I love this paper I think is my favorite from this collection. My challenge was how to highlight the photo with this busy paper but I think I got it right. I cut a heart shape on the paper and adhered a piece of  green paper from the same collection. You can watch all the creative process in the video on my YouTube channel.  I used the chipboard and die cuts from the same collection to decorate around the photo and flowers. I was inspired on the same paper design to create the background. I adhered letters from the ABC here and there, then I gave a coat of gesso over all the textures .
