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.

Elle's Studio - Cameron Collection - The Scrapbook Store

 Hello crafty people ☺  Happy Monday and hope this week treats you well.  My posts have been slow and steady of late ....... not much time for extra challenges; just design team work which I'm happy to share ☺  Today I have one using Elle's Studio - the Cameron Collection from The Scrapbook Store.  This IS a FABULOUS collection - so fun!!!

 For this page I've gone with a 'circle' look.  I was inspired by the Circle Tags from this collection; I've used three on this page.  I've also used some Perfect Pearls Mist in the background with masking and modelling paste.
Here are some close-up's:

 For my background, I used modelling paste and the CW Mini circle grid template.  Once dried, I've sprayed over with the Perfect Pearls Mist - Blue Raspberry - I've sprayed quite heavily and the mask has acted as a resist with the mist pooling around the modelling paste.  Quite a nice effect ☺  I've also used some bubble wrap to go over some of the other area's to add to the circle effect!

Here you can see some of the circle tags - they have great details and I've also added in some raw chipboard arrows from TSS.  My title is done using my Silhouette and some of the pattern paper in this collection. I've layered the title over a shipping tag which has some hemp twine, flair badge and Prima blooms for added details ☺

This chipboard Hot Air Balloon is from 2 Crafty Chipboard - I've added some stamping and a flair badge.  And you can see more background details of the modelling paste with the masking.  I've also added in some circle effects using the lid of Mister Hueys Colour Mist in Custard - simply spray the mist onto a scrap card and dip the lid into the pool of mist, using it as a stamp on your page ☺

I've added in a paper doily behind the photo and there is also another piece of chipboard - the word love which I've just inked on the edges.

I hope you love what you've seen from this collection - this month I've done a few different styles showing that this collection is suitable for any style of scrapper!!  Please check out the entire collection in store online. You won't be disappointed.  There are lots of new products coming in all the time - you can keep up-to-date with that on the blog or checking out the 'new products' section at The Scrapbook Store.

Thanks for visiting and have a great day ♥

Strong - Authentique - The Scrapbook Store

 Hey everyone - happy weekend.  Just popping in to share another page from my DT kit for The Scrapbook Store.
I think in every collection - there is that one special piece of pattern paper that is really cool and you don't want to cut it up or cover it too much.
This double-side 12x12 paper called 'Mighty' is one of those papers!!
I've used it as my base for this next page:

 I've just used the one photo of my husband with his dad and our boys!!  Got to snap moments like this ☺  As I said before, the main piece of paper is 'Mighty' from this collection.  I've also used 'Foundations' 12x12 paper and cut out all the individual words on the paper to include them as part of my journal work.  I've used some chipboard by 2 Crafty and some Prima trinkets.  Here are some close-up's:

 The chipboard piece " The Measure of a Man' is by 2 Crafty Chipboard - I've just inked the edges and stamped lightly with a script stamp as I did not want to loose any of the details.

 I love these Prima Vintage trinkets - they just add that something extra without it being to 'flowery' ☺

And another trinket with also a close-up of the individual words that I've cut out.  I've inked the edges and added some of my script stamping too.  The strips of journal work have been printed from the computer.

That was my third page using this collection and they have all been different.  This collection is very versatile, even though it lends itself towards masculine and the Father's Day theme.  I still have my Step-by-Step to share and I'm also working on a canvas using up bits and pieces from this collection and also the Silks Acrylic Glaze.

The Scrapbook Store is having it's End Of Financial Year Sale - there are over 800 products reduced by 25% - so please check out the store to grab yourself a bargain - happy shopping ☺

Have a great weekend and hope you can find some crafting time for yourself ☺

The Studio Challenges - May Challenge

 Hello - a new week already ☺  Time seems to fly by so quickly these days. 
There is a new challenge at The Studio Challenges - for this challenge we would like you to use only FIVE INGREDIENTS.  As the sponsor for this challenge is Memory Maze - we would also like you to use a piece of chipboard!
Here's what I created:

 Five ingredients only - at first I thought I'd really struggle with this one!!
But after picking out my pictures and a few items I really liked, it all came together ☺
My five ingredients are:  2 pieces of pattern paper, paper doily, chipboard and badge.  Here are some close-up's:

 The chipboard title is from 2 Crafty Chipboard - I've inked the edges and also used a script stamp over it.  The two pieces of pattern paper have writing on them which I've used as a bit of journaling at the same time.

I've also used this cute ''smile" badge from Greatest View - their badges are just so cute!!
I've added in a few extra details like the stitching, stamping and pen outline around the border of the page!

Please check out the blog for all the details for this challenge.  There is also some inspiration from the Design Team - we hope you can play along ☺

The Scrapbook Store - DT Kit - Beach Boardwalk - Carta Bella

 This month I'm working with Beach Boardwalk by Carta Bella for The Scrapbook Store - it's been fun to scrap some Summer pictures, especially as we are now heading into Winter!!
I'm sharing two pages today - both about surfing in the waves - from a holiday we had a few years back ☺ And both of these pages are quite similar in design, featuring a banner!

Page One

 Here I've used alot of the sticker elements as well as some Prima flowers and 2Crafty Chipboard - here are some close-up's:

 A little cluster of Prima flowers and beach shells.

 2Crafty Chipboard word: favourite- I've added some ink using a script stamp - the palm tree is a sticker from the 12x12 element sticker sheet.

 Another Prima flower with some twine - I got these gorgeous Tatiana Oceana flowers in my kit!!

Page Two

 For this page I've used strips of pattern paper from the collection and also more chipboard from 2 Crafty - this time some cool arrows.  I've also done some stitching with the Sew Easy Tool. Here are some close-up's:

 Some of the pattern papers I've used are: Tropical Borders and the reverse side of Little Sharks.  The 'riding the waves' strip of paper was perfect for this page!  I've also used more stickers from the elements sheet.

 For the banner I've used buttons and white mini pegs along with orange twine.

Here you can see the line of stitching - I've used the Sew Easy Tool by WRMK.  Also some of the cool arrows from the Assorted Arrow pack by 2 Crafty Chipboard - once again, I've used ink with a script stamp!

All of these products and accessories are available at The Scrapbook Store as well as heaps more gorgeous goodies!!
I'll be back soon with some more shares on this fabulous collection ☺
