Scrap The Girls November 2019

 Scrap The Girls 2019 November challenge- The Hangover

I was inspired by the circular theme of the book hangover, and the alcohol.

There is nothing like a cold beer after a hot day sightseeing!

 The gorgeous paper was  from Trocraft "Penelope Dee" .I fussy cut a second wreathe and  layered it 

over my photos.

In the background I used Golden Light Modelling Paste mixed with Prima Finnabair Art Ingredients 

Mica Powder- Vintage Pink through a Maya Road Mask.

When dry I glued some Pretty Pin Posh sequins about.

The chipboard title is from ScrapFx and I embossed it with white Altenew Crisp embossing Powder.

There is a prize up for grabs so why not join us at Scrap The Girls this November!

Scrap The Girls October 2019

Breast Cancer Awareness month- pick your star Sign and be inspired by that bra

I am a Pisces and I took my inspiration from the shoe string straps!

I cut up a sheet of black bazzill into narrow strips and went  with a black and white theme.

My daughter was so happy to be a penguin in the school assembly presentation!

Flowers were from 49 and Market, the backing papers and stars were from My Mind's Eye

and the black and white lace panels on the side were die cuts using a Stamp'in up die.

The title is from Dusty Attic and I embossed it with Altenew Crisp Embossing powder- Polar White.

Let's all be breast Aware and check our breasts regularly!

"Insta Love"

Be inspired by instagram, square photos, the logo, the colours, likes.. just add a note what inspired

you.

I was inspired by the colours, and the square theme, with square photo, texture paste squares, and

stamping tiny squares (Kasazz Graffiti Mesh Background stamp).

I covered the page with Gesso before laying down the texture paste (Golden Light Molding paste)

through a Prima Finnabair Stencil.

Next I used my Distress Oxide inks - Cracked Pistacchio

                                                             Squeezed Lemonade

                                                             and Salty Ocean ,

using the smooshing technique with fine plastic.

When dry I ghost stamped with Archival Ink.

Then I flicked Liquitex Professional Ink- Titanium White and Carbon Black over the page before

laying down the photo.

The papers at the base of the photo are from an old Kaisercraft Christmas Collection.

The camera and the words "tell me a story" are cork stickers from American Crafts Shimelle.

The chipboard word " #adorable " is from Dusty Attic- Hashtag Saying 2- I embossed it with Stamp

It Rich Red Embossing powder and Altenew Embossing Ink.

The flowers are from Blue Fern Studios- "Wanderlust Lillys".

The two flairs are from Accent Scrapbooking.

I really enjoyed making this page!

The possibilities are endless with this mood board!

Scrap The Girls July 2019 challenge

I had the perfect colour match with Prima Marketing Collection Tales of You and Me!

The mood board was titled "Luscious Lady" 

I have never thought of myself as luscious but I was pretty pleased with myself when I took this

photo!!

I'm wearing a dress that had been hanging in the cupboard for 25 years because I had put on too

much weight over the years to wear it!!( 24 kilos gone!!)

The title( oh so true!) chipboard is from 2Crafty,

 the Heart chipboard are from Dusty Attic.

I have embossed them both with Altenew Crisp Embossing powder Platinum

and I edged my papers with Hampton Dye ink.

Lots of fussy cutting with this page!

Can't wait to see how others create with this mood board!

Good luck all!

"Patterns and Colours"

I was inspired by the yellow clogs and the flowers. 

I am on a mission this year to get out of my comfort zone and I certainly did with this one!

 I never use yellow!! 

The technique was inspired by  a step by step tutorial by Tammy Klingner - the design itself 

becoming quite different as it evolved.

Thanks Tammy! 

Check out her blog spot  Tambaramba - such a talented and lovely lady!

I used Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Inks,  Archival black ink and Kaisercraft little triangles stamp in the

background.

I stamped the roses( Ranger Dina Wakley Stamps Abstract Blooms) with Stayz On Black ink, and

coloured them with distress oxide ink.( Squeezed Lemonade)

 When dry  I cut them out of the paper and layered them around my photo.

The photo is backed with papers from simple Stories Dream Big Collection and the puffy words are

from the same collection.

I love this page!!

Looking forward to seeing how others create from this mood board!

"April Showers Bring May Flowers"

I used my Cocoa Vanilla Studios Bohemian Dream Collection and Gwen Wruck's Cut To You custom

 Die Cut flowers and Title.

First I gently gessoed them and when it was dry I applied Tim Holtz Distress Ink "Picked Raspberry".
