Glitz Design - Finnley collection - The Scrapbook Store

 Hello all ☺  I have one last share for the month - I've been creating with the Finnley collection by Glitz Designs for The Scrapbook Store.  I ♥ this collection ☺☺

I had this super cute picture of my oldest and youngest that I took very recently, so I thought I'd use it for this collection.  I've used lots of the stickers from this collection - the little sticker words are just great.  I've also used another wood veneer word from WOW.  Here are some close-ups:

 I've filled the 'little moments' sticker with some of the word stickers  - the wooden heart button is from my stash ☺

 I love to use my punches - here I've punched out the heart shape from the red paper and overlayed it so the pattern paper from the bottom layer is revealed.  There is that super cute wood veneer word from WOW chipboard.

 The title is from the sticker sheet - I've outlined in black pen to really make it 'stand out'.

Here is that same heart punch again - I've layered four hearts, distressing them as I went along - then added in one of the rhinestones from this collection. 
Other bits that I've added to the page are a paper lace doily, sequins and cotton thread.

 Products used:

Alphabets and Words sticker sheet

6x6 paper pad - Finnley

Rhinestones - Finnley

cotton thread

paper lace doily

sequins

Wood veneer word - WOW 

heart punch

script stamp

espresso ink

There is still a little left from this collection in store - please check it out ONLINE.

Thanks for following me this month with my creating - it's much appreciated ♥

 

Glitz Designs - Finnley - The Scrapbook Store

 Hello - hope your week has gone wonderfully well ☺  Just popping in to share some more creations using Finnley by Glitz Designs for The Scrapbook Store.  I've been loving this collection - so fun to create with.



I've gone a little monochromatic for this page and I love the effect for this B&W photo of my little boy ♥  Also going with a vertical design for something a little different ☺I'm also one to not use a lot of pattern paper as my base but for this collection, I've already made three pages, each with a pattern paper background.  Maybe I'm not feeling so intimidated by them anymore ☺
As well as the lovely Finnley collection, I've also used a 2 Crafty chipboard feather.
Here are some close-up's:

 Here are some of the stickers from this collection - I like to mat them on to white cardstock before I put on my page, this way I can pop them up with foam dots to add layers and dimension to the LO.  White cardstock also gives a nice little frame around your image which I love.

 Here is that stunning feather from 2 Crafty Chipboard - it's so delicate and beautiful.  I've given it a white-wash effect with some watered down white paint.  Then I've inked the edges with some espresso ink and also added some mist with a shine.  Lastly I've popped on a rhinestone from this collection. I've added stamps and stickers to my photo so that it flows in to the design of the page.

I couldn't resist adding in a mini peg ☺  Here are a few more stickers and pattern papers from the collection and also some stamping with the roller feather stamp.

Products used:

12x12 pattern paper Floral

6x6 paper pad - Finnley

2 Crafty Chipboard

Alphabets and Word Stickers

Tiny Roller Doodle stamp - feather

Finnley - rhinestones

stamps

black pen

script stamp

espresso ink

mini peg

Please check out the entire collection in store - there is still some left ☺

Thanks for visiting and have a lovely weekend ♥

Glitz Designs - Finnley - The Scrapbook Store

 Hello and happy Monday ☺ I have another share for The Scrapbook Store - using Glitz - the Finnley collection.  I'm really enjoying these papers and the other bits from this collection - very easy to work with and super fun. 

 This is a very recent photo of our road trip that we made during the past school holidays.  And I've used the really cool 12x12 pattern paper Drip as my background.  It has a mixed media feel about it with the design of dripping paint - I've added in some white paint mixed with water, also using the dripping effect.  Love how it's turned out.  All the products on this page are from the collection - I've also added in a WOW wood veneer word and a Green Tara flower stem.
Here are some close-up's:

 Sometimes I like to make my own embellishments.  This is a simple flower using a scallop punch - using different pattern papers from the 6x6 paper pad, punch out five scallops.  Layer together, distressing them as you go along.  Adhere together with a pin and then add one of the rhinestones from this collection.  I've also free-cut a leaf to add behind the flower.

 The 'today' word is from WOW wood veneers - there are three different words in the pack and they are a lovely font.  I've used sticker letters from this collection to make my title.

I keep going back to 'banner style pages' ☺  Here I've made an arrow with a long 'kebab stick'.  Using the pattern papers I've free cut an arrow and some feather style leaves for the end.  I've attached some mini pegs and also added in the Green Tara flower.
I've also used the super cute feather roller stamp from this collection on the black paper which mats the photo - I love using white ink on black paper to give a 'chalk board' effect.

This collection is selling very well, but there are still some papers and embellishments left - please check the online store.

Products used:

12x12 pattern paper 'Drip'

6x6 paper pad

rhinestones - Finnley

Green Tara flower stem - black

Feather roller doodle stamp

Alphabets and Words stickers

paper doily

kebab stick

scallop punch

white paint

 .... and here is my take on the sketch ......
      
 My youngest and I love to have a bit of crazy fun!!  He is a bit of a poser.  I've used some papers from American Crafts for this page and also some pieces from the Day to Day Project Life kit from LPS.
Here are some close-up's:

 I love all the embellishments in this kit - the wooden frame, hearts, arrow and flair badge.  All super cute!

I've added in pegs and twine to make it 'bunting style' ☺
