Life in a Snapshot Torquay Mixed Media Layout

Hi all here is my scrapbook page for the October sketch challenge. I am experimenting with DecoArt Acrylic paints which i used to create a mixed media background. 

I used Trimcraft Back to Basics True Blue for the paper layers and Kaisercraft texture stamps on the background,

I applied a couple of stencils using DecoArt Modeling Paste to add texture and then flicked white ink over the page.

I then decorated the page woth resin flowers and sequins

Scrap Around the World September mood board

Hi all

Just sharing my entry for the months Scrap Around The World mood board you can join in here http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-us.html

I used the Love is in the air 12x12 sheet for the background and a mixture of First Edition pads for the layers. I loved the mixture of blue and sepia from the mood board and used that as my inspiration.

Here are a few close ups of the page. The flowers are Papermania Paper Posies  that i have dyed with spritzing inks.

Love the pearl Ayeeda Misting sprays by 13arts as they have a rich shimmer to them

Scrap Around The World August Challenge: Vacation layout

Hi all 

Here is my Entry for the Scrap Around the World August mood board. You can link up your projects here http://scraparoundtheworld.blogspot.co.uk/p/about-us.html. There are lots of prizes from the sponsors this month including a new one.

I loved this photo of Weymouth Harbor and i wanted to create a travel themed layout using the mood board bellow. I used the 7 Dots Studio Love is in the Air 12x12 paper sheet for the base.

I started off by using a Teresa Collins 12x12 stencil mask to add texture to the background. I then took a selection of Kaisercraft texture stamps and stamped them randomly around the page before adding Misters from 13arts

I spritzed a paper doily with Sepia and gold misters and cut it in half. 

I love this beaded trim i found in my local market and was waiting for the perfect project to use it on.

Family Layout

I have recently started reading Scrapbook Magazine again and received issue 88 which had some beautiful Prima papers free. Here is a scrapbook page i made using the free papers and the Leyton 12x12 pad from the Dovecraft Value range

The stencil mask is by Prima, i have just started using the 12 x12 masks which are much easier for covering layouts in texture.

I used misters to alter the paper flowers to match the colour scheme.

Forever mixed media layout

As we approaches Valentines day, i would like to share with you some of my romantic makes starting with Dovecrafts latest range.

This is a scrapbook layout of my Grandparent's wedding back in February 1954. The Sweet Paris papers have a vintage feel to them so i thought it went well with the black and white photos.

 I love the resin flowers in this range especially the bright pink. I altered some of the white and cream paper flowers with misting spray so i could add extra colours that i didn't have in my stash.

You have probably noticed that i like to use die cuts on my projects, so it should come as no surprise that i have been using the new First Edition dies since they were launched in December. Here i used the key die set with Kanban metallic card stock.

And lastly the tag die set which has become a new favourite. I just cut out different sized tags and layered them up.
