Love

What's up? Hope this post finds you well and safe in these turbulent times. I have a new layout today using the Remnants collection from Blue Fern Studios.

This is my oldest grand daughter Lilly. This was her school photo from last year and I finally got around to scrapping it!

 I primed my paper with clear gesso then did some stamping on the background with embossing ink then heat embossed it with Plum embossing powder. Then I mixed some Seedlings with glitter and matte gel and ran it through a stencil for some dramatic texture. I embossed some drywall tape with Plum, Garnet and Magenta embossing powder and arranged them in the center of my page. From there I layered my papers.

I also did some stamping with black archival ink.

I used the Bouquet Florals chipboard. I embossed the flowers with a combination of garnet and plum embossing powder. I painted the leaves with some green Sparks paint then glued some Seedlings (Meadow) to them for some fun.

I framed my photo with each piece. I then added some small blooms on top. I used some pebbles from Prima that matched my papers.

I used some circle chipboards from the Printed Chipboard page to describe my feelings about Lilly.

I used a piece from the Printed Chipboard as my title. I also tucked a little piece of Lace 1 under my top paper. I also added some Art Stones for extra texture.

My last close-up. For a finish I added some splashes in Prima's Iris Color Bloom Spray and some white gesso.

And that is the end of this project. Please take care out there.

All the best! :)

Tags-with Passages Collection

Welcome back. I have something different today. I decided to make some tags for a change. I often use tags as bookmarks and I have worn them out so it was time to make some new ones!

I used the Passages Collection to make these.

This line comes with an 8 by 8 paper pack as well as journaling cards which make doing smaller projects easier. (And you don't waste paper!). I made the backgrounds on both tags the same. I used old papers from a thesaurus and a music book and tore strips for my base. I also used tissue paper to give it more texture. I then went over it with a stencil and some molding paste then colored it. I popped up the balloon with some cardboard and added some flowers.

I did the exact same with this tag. I added different chipboard centers and some blooms from Blue Fern. The bird image came from the Glory in the Garden line. :)

A few close-ups.

I used Blue Fern and Prima flowers.

I used some Seedlings in Meadow for more texture.

More Blue Fern blooms.

That is it for today. I hope all is going well for you and that you stay safe and healthy during these difficult times. All the best! :)

Hello, hello! Just me again with another layout using 49 & Market papers.

This is not my typical layout but I really enjoyed doing it. I used the September  Limited Edition Kit from My Creative Scrapbook Kit Club using the Serendipitous Collection from 49 & Market.

I used a variety of pieces of chipboard. I heat embossed them in various colors. I used the swirl  to help extend my layout horizontally and then embellished it with flowers and Seedlings in Lilac from Blue Fern Studios. I also made some stars with my Prima mold and painted them various colors as well.

I cut out my photo, backed it with chipboard and popped it up then embellished all around it. It sort of reminds me of a jungle!

Another close-up of all the embellishments.

The last shot is of my title taken from a Dusty Attic word pack. I embossed it with Lindy's embossing powder. I also did some stamping and stenciling work on my background.

That's it for today I hope you like the layout! take care and stay safe! All the best! :)

 

Live Your Life

Good Day! Hope you are enjoying this beautiful weekend! I have a layout today done with papers I got from Mother's Day. I've been wanting to work with them but shortly after receiving them I got sick and ended up in hospital. It took me awhile to get back on my feet but here I am and here we go!

This is the absolutely gorgeous Vintage Artistry line called Sky from 49 & Market.

I did a bit of stenciling on my page with a brick stencil and some molding paste. (Of course I primed the page with clear gesso first). I lightly colored the brick with some Walnut Stain distress ink from Tim Holtz to match the browns in the girls boots in the photo. This is one of two flower clusters using 49 & Market Blooms Wildflowers in Sky and Blue Raspberry.

The second flower cluster. I also colored some cheesecloth to tuck behind my clusters for added texture. I also did some stamping using a 49 & Market stamp.

I used the tabs along the bottom of the pages and added them to my design. These are often so pretty they are a shame to waste them. I backed the photo with several different pieces of paper and the newsprint from the cut out sheet. I used a tiny piece of chipboard from Dusty Attic. I primed them with white gesso and then colored it with Weathered Wood from Tim Holtz. A few Art Stones and voila added texture.

I used a die to cut out a doily from white cardstock to help bring out the blues on the page. I also used a few pieces from the push out sheet.

I used another push out piece as my title. Live your life to the best. Simple but it works.

Full length shot of the flower cluster and papers from the left. Added more Art Stones across the page.

My last close-up is off the photo with all it's layers. I love this color palette it's so pretty and delicate. I also love the fact that this lines comes in various colors. It is so easy to work with and l find creating layouts just flows when using 49 & Market papers.

I hope you enjoyed looking and I will be back soon with another layout from 49 & Market. Take care and stay safe! All the best! :)

 Hello! I am back with you today with a layout using the gorgeous new Blue Fern Studios line Passages.

This is an adorable line that focuses on travel but is very versatile for any photos!

I used the paper Junket for my background. I love the soft pink color and the adorable design on it. To frame my photo I used the Frilly Frame chipboard. I always prepare my chipboard by covering it in white gesso so that the color holds better and comes out brighter. I then went over it with pink paint and then highlighted areas with some Salt Water Taffy glimmer mist from Lindy's.

I wanted to bring out the pattern on the paper a bit more so I used a stencil that had a very similar design and added molding paste. I colored the design with the same colors that I used on the chipboard frame, Salt Water Taffy, Cosmopolitan Pink, Cotton Candy and Gold/ I added a little pink pearl in the middle of each design to help bring it out more.

I made some flourishes with my Prima mould and colored them again with the same colors I used on my background. The flowers are from Prima and Blue Fern.

I used the camera chipboard from the Picture This package. Trying to stay true to my color scheme I used Ebony, Glistening Sand and It's A Girl embossing powders to color it.

My second flower cluster, again using Prima and Blue Fern flowers. I also added the adorable little Eiffel Tower charm from the World Tour package.

To maximize my chipboard I cut the camera in half placing half on either side of the photo. I also randomly added some Seedlings in Sweet Pea around my layout for added texture.

I used a piece from the Ephemera pack as my title. I also did a little stamping using the Wandering Soul stamp on my background.

I hope everything is well in your world and that you are staying safe and sane!

All the best! :)
