"LOVE" by Tina Ollett


Hello and welcome back today. Tina Ollett with you here all the way from sunny Queensland in Australia. We have been having an extreme heatwave at present and what better way to stay out of the heat than to create in the cool of airconditioning. 

 So this is what I did today. A little mixed media in my first pages of my Papericious Journal Book. You may remember a couple of months back I decorated the front cover. I didn't ever think that I would get to put anything in it of course, because that is what I usually do, but I surprised myself and got a little messy. I hope you enjoy it! 

My journal pages were primed with clear gesso and white gesso. I used the decoupage papers from The Queen tore sections and adhered to my layout to support the photo and also to mirror the layout on each side.

As you can see above and below are the lace flowers that I have coloured. These flowers are perfect for journal pages. They sit very flat and can also be coloured very easily. I used Distress Ink and water to colour mine.

Wings - Papericious Collage Chippis



It is very difficult to see in these photos unfortunately but I have used the Pearl Pink Chalk Paint along with the Natural White to colour sections of the journal pages and also to change up the colours of the pearl centres.

Along with the lace flowers I have also added in some natural burlap and distress it somewhat.

Oh I so wish you could see the true colours of this project today.

"Wanderlust" by Tina Ollett


A very warm welcome Papericious friends. Tina here with you today with my last post before Christmas. As the year is winding down my workload has seemed to have doubled. But my love for what I do is still the same as when I started out 11 years ago. I still love to share all that I learn from my mistakes and the challenges I sometimes face. So today I would love to share with you my friends a layout, not a Christmas layout, but a beach layout!!
This is the time of the year here in Australia that finds our family at the beach more than ever. And this is one of those photos from years gone past. I absolutely adore this photo of my youngest and our furfriend Raphael. He loves the beach and water (typical labrador), but more than those two things he loves to keep our daughter Cydne safe, especially in the water. He will guide her and sometimes grab her arm and very gently pull her back to the waters edge. It is a beautiful thing to see and he has done this since he was very little. It must be a labrador instinctual thing to do. This is what I see when I look at this photo, a protector and a dear friend not matter what!
So when I printed this photo off, the colours for me were not what I was looking for, but the memory behind it definitely was. So I decided to change my photo to a black and white, and dim out the water a little to leave the focus of the two of them swimming out to sea.
My next step was choosing a paper. And for this layout I decided to go with the new release
Jack and Jill collection that you see below.

Jack and Jill Designer Edition

I also included some of the beautiful Wanderlust Collage Chippis.

This is my project below........ "Wanderlust".

Once I came across the blue piece in the Jack and Jill collection I just knew that it would become a beach project combined with the Wanderlust Chippis. A great combination to start with. I did a lot of background mixed media work on the paper using clear gesso and Papericious Chalk Paint in Natural White. I have also used Distress Inks combined with the Natural White chalk paint to colour my flowers. Adding a drop of the ink into the Natural white instantly gave me the colours I was looking for. Perfect for changing up the flowers from 49andMarket that I have used here.

I also coloured some netting that I had in my collection. This was where I started layering and embellishing my layout. I used a 4 x 6 landscape photo, sanded the edges and also gave the edges some colour using the mixed colours and then mounted it on 3D foam tape to give my layout more dimension. 

Here you can see my Anchor from the Wanderlust Collage Chippis Set. It was firstly crackled in white paste and allowed to dry. I inked the edges of it with Black Soot Distress Ink and then coloured it with my paint colour mixes. I popped in some shells and art stones too. These were again all coloured.

The font for the Wanderlust title from the Chippi Collage set is just stunning. I love it!! This was simply inked in Black Soot Distress Ink. In the photo above you can see the random stamping that I did also.

Another view of the Anchor. You can see the layers made with the netting, flowers, chipboard and then more flowers along with the Art Stones and Shells.

Well that is all from me today. I do hope you enjoyed my project for today. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a very safe and happy Christmas and a most merry New Year from my family to yours. I will see you all again in the New Year.

Take care .......

"She loves him and he her" by Tina Ollett


Hello and a very warm welcome to you! This is Tina Ollett with you today to share my very first blogpost using the gorgeously stunning Papericious "Fleur Fun" collection.
When I received this collection I was taken away by the colours of it. I am not usually a brights girl but this got me to thinking about the Festive Challenge also this month. And I thought that maybe I could get a headstart with my Christmas Creating. Every Christmas I create a couple of layout projects for a relative or friend as some extra for their parcel. The grandparents always relish a layout of one of the children and in the case is it one of the children with a pet friend who we treat like one of the family. For this project I have titled it 

"She loves him and he, her".....


I was truly taken aback with the sheets of florals and you guessed it, I went ahead and fussy cut a lot of the sheets to give me the base for my layout. 

Fleur Fun

So along with the sheets of fabulous florals and leaves I also used the plain pink sheet as my background page. This I trimmed the sides at the left and right and added a little strip of the pretty green polka dots behind each side. These pieces were sanded a little too. I love to show a bit of the white core of the papers for my projects to give them that shabbiness. So I also primed my background with Clear Gesso. And left this to dry. Once dry I did a little sponging using the Papericious Natural White Chalk Paint. This went on just beautifully with a sponge and I wiped excess away with a baby wipe at the end not to cover every part of the pattern.


I started firstly with my Portrait 4 x 6 inch colour photo of my youngest daughter and our gorgeous boy "Gru". This was matted with some of the leftover green polkadot papers. Again the edges were sanded and I also popped this up on a couple of layers of 3D foam tape.
The Pearl Pink Chalk paint was used to give some highlights to the framework of my layout. I ran my finger over the outer edges of the layout with the Pearl Pink firstly then I went over it with a little of the Natural White.

All of the layers of the fussy cut floral and leaves were distressed a little and I also did some sanding to give the look of shabby chic again.


Here you can see some of the layers. There are quite a few. I also added in some of the fabulous Papericious Chippis. A collaged pattern that I turned on its side. So rather than looking like a square it looks like a diamond of sorts. This was dressed in the Natural White Paint Chalk. I gave it two coats and then went over it with some Star Dust Stickles to make it shimmer. I also added in some distressed pieces of white muslin to create more layers to my project.


And here you can see that I have also added in some strips of the green Polka dots. The edges were sanded and distressed and I hot glued these in place to sit over the foliage as seen above.


And from another view. You will also notice that I added in a little random stamping using a script stamp with some Walnut Distress Ink. This adds to the dimension some more and also brings out some of the browns in my daughters hair also. Above you may be able to see that I have added the Star Dust Stickles to the yellow centres of the flowers. Just adds a nice touch I think.

Well that is it. My Festive creation for this months challenge. I hope you have enjoyed my first post.
Until next time take care.
