12x12 layout- New scooter time.

Hey ScrappingClearly fans,

Amy here back with a new layout share for you, documenting my sons new fancy scooter. I have used lots of Shimelle starshine goodies in this layout, all of which can be found in the ScrappingClearly store and I will provide the product links at the bottom of this post.There is also a process video over on the Scrappingclearly channel, so pop over and check it out (link at the bottom).

I started my layout with the idea of the different strips of paper at the bottom to form a border type thing and to add some interest to the layout. These strips are all from starshine patterned papers. 

I then used some more of the starshine patterned paper to matte my photo and also add a layer of fun and bright colours under to make the photo really pop out (the balloon print). 

I have then used pieces from starshine cut apart sheets to use as die cuts around the page, then used other pieces (stickers, flairs, clips) to embellish the layout. 

And finally a mix of gold American Crafts thickers and WRMK thickers to create my title and this layout is done. 

I will link all the products I have used below. 

Until next time happy scrapping.

Project life spread- Fun Snaps

Hello there ScrappingClearly fans,

Amy here with you today with a project life spread with a twist- a fuse sleeve twist. I have used a mix of the Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane collection and Shimelle starshine collection.

I first up cut up some of the starshine patterned papers to create my own project life cards. Once I embelllished these I moved onto my photos. I embellished my photos using some pieces from starshine and Magnolia Jane, as well as writing on them with my uniball white pen.

To finish up I added a fuse sleeve to the back of the page protector using my WRMK fuse tool. This is to keep a flower crown given out at this event safe for the future.

August sketch inspiration- My Girl

Hi ScrappingClearly fans,

Its my turn to share some scrappy inspiration to get us started in August. Here is my take on the great sketch challenge for this month. I have used lots of Heidi Swapp goodies to do this page, some from the Magnolia Jane collection.
There were so many lovely papers I couldn't decide which to use to document these gorgeous photos of my little Miss. But I went with the watercolor paper to give the splattered paint look that is in the background of the sketch. I matted the paper onto the black and white geometric patterned paper to give the pink paper a subtle lift.

It took a little (maybe a lot) of fussing around to get the key elements of the sketch just right, but once I did then it was a matter of embellishing the page and done.
I think this is a beautiful and elegant girl layout, thanks to the lovely Magnolia Jane collection which is available in the ScrappingClearly store.

Also pop over to the ScrappingClearly YouTube channel to see a process video.

Wonderful Me- Art journal page

Hello Scrapping Clearly fans,

It is my turn on the blog today with an art journal page using some lovely goodies from the Scrapping clearly shop. 

I have done a double page spread with this, using a a stencil and dylusions paint in fuchsia for my background. I then went around the stencil outline with some blue paint just to make the purple pop more and to give that sky coloured look, as my photo is of me getting out for a nice arvo walk. 

I have fussy cut the black and white flowers from a Heidi Swapp Magnolia Jane 12x12 paper and the yellow flowers are from the Shimelle starshine Mercury patterned paper.Again I am going for that outdoors but lovely look to these pages. 

The red flower washi tape is also from Shimelle and the gold and dark flower washi's are from a Heidi Swapp pack in the Magnolia Jane collection, I wanted the washi tapes to be part of the embellishing of the page and to give a different texture and feel to the pages; the florals also match what I was trying to convey in this project. 
 I used some off cuts of some Magnolia Jane paper to make the thin strips and the quote piece is from the Shimelle Starshine cut apart paper Astro. 

Thanks for looking and don't forget to pop over to the Scrapping Clearly you tube channel to see a process video for this art journal page. 
See you soon and happy scrapping
Amy

Road Trip- PL spread

Hello again ScrappingClearly fans,

Amy. L here with you sharing a project life spread I did documenting a family road trip. For this spread I have mainly used papers and ephemera from the Shimelle starshine collection. I thought this collection was a great choice as it is about going on adventures and exploring, which is a little what we did on this road trip.

I made my own PL cards using the various patterned papers in the collection (links to the exact ones is below). I also used the two cut apart sheets to make filler cards and embellish the spread. I tried to use the various colours in the photos to guide my design and choices for this spread.
To embellish further I used the Shimelle buttons, sticker book, decorative tape and epoxy paper clips. The wood veneer and gold washi is from Heidi Swapp.
My title was made using the We R memory keepers 'Indian Summer' chipboard alphabet stickers.

I hope you like this spread and remember to check out the SC youtube channel for the process video for this.

See you soon
Amy.L

Sweet Cheeks - Skai Mitchell

Hey Scrappers, 

Im back today with a bright and fun layout featuring my daughter and some of the gorgeous papers from the Shimelle Starshine range. 

Start with a base of Marshmallow Heavy Weight Cardstock and spray some random burst of colour with Dylusions Spray in Bubblegum and Funky Fushia. 

Now add some Colour Blast Colour Paste in Dusty Charcoal in random spots through a The Crafters Workshop Stencil – Dina Wakley – 6 x 6 Mini Half Tone Circles

Dry it all really well with your heat tool. 

Next, grad a sheet of American Crafts – Shimelle Collection – Starshine – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Mercury and start fussy cutting a heap of flowers. 

Cut the 'Shine Brightly' circle from the American Crafts – Shimelle Collection – Starshine – 12 x 12 Double Sided Paper – Odyssey. Machine stitch around the edge of it, and your photo to give it some texture. 

Now, start to stick it all down using a combination of Xpress It Double Sided Foam Tape  and Express It Clear Gel Liquid Glue. 

In my embellishments I've used a few bits from the Vicki Boudin - Watercolor Sticker Book and Mixology Gold Accents. Add to that the title from the Amy Tangerine Collection – Better Together – Thickers and you have one complete page. 

Thanks for looking at my layout this week, Ill be back next week with a new months mood board and sketch challenge!

Goggles + Hunter ~ A Scrapbook page with Melinda

Hi there fellow ScrappingClearly fans, it's Melinda here with you today and I am super excited to share my take on this month's super fun and bright mood board designed by the very talented Peg from the design team!

Here is a little refresher:

Ah!!! I seriously love it! I do have to admit, I was a little unsure to start with. That is until I started flipping through my printed photos and this one of my baby just jumped out at me as perfect for this board! And paired with my favourite collection, of all time, ever!! Starshine by Shimelle Laine :D

Here is my take:

And here is my process video for this LO

I really, really, really love how this turned out!! I cut the title on my cameo and then backed each letter with some offcuts from the 6x6 paper pad. Oh, after I did some playing with gelato's and water and some Colour Paste!

A couple of little layers behind the photo - more scraps, a piece from the ephemera pack and a clear sticker. And then, a fun, rainbow border around the left and top - again, more scraps! If you watched my last process video you would have seen me "screw up" the other side of this paper (it has all the little stars on it - one of my fave papers, ever!!), so I stuck down the 2 sides I had applied gesso too, attached to my white cardstock and saved the left overs from behind the white cardstock ;)

Last up I added in some black splatters, my journalling, some stitching around 2 sides, a little stamping and a sharpie pen to outline each letter in the title!

You still have 2 whole weeks to enter the challenges this month so make sure you head over to the FB group here to load up your entries to go into the drawn for a voucher to the store!

Also, did you see that ScrappingClearly have just launched some awesome online classes with members of the DT teaching?! There are still a few days left to sign up to the 1st class with Skai so if your interested you can find all the info here.

Thanks as always for stopping by and until next time, happy scrapping!

Snapchat Fun with Melinda - November Mood Board Challenge

Hey there ScrappingClearly fans!! Melinda here with you today sharing a fun page I put together using a combination of supplies from the beautiful kits Kylie has sent me!

Before I go any further though, here is a refresher of this month's mood board - isn't it beautiful!! 

I took inspiration from the colours and that blue water coloury paint swatch bit - it reminded me of the ocean! And funnily enough, those beautiful peacock feathers reminded me of mermaid scales so I went straight for the photo I ended up choosing! And here is my take!

I have made a YouTube process video which you can see below on my channel and read on for a few close ups!

I had a lot of fun playing with some Colour Blast goodies in the background! I started with a stencil and some Colour Paste in Singin' The Blues, Bling and Deep Water and a stencil from my stash.

After that was all dry I added some water colour using a big brush and some Envy Colour Shimmer Spray straight from the bottle.

I have used some papers from the WRMK Crush 6x6 paper pad and also this paper from the Shimelle Starshine collection to back the photo. I haven't added a heap of things on top of the mixed media work, I really wanted to be able to see it but I have used some bits from the Shimelle Starshine ephemera pack, the Pink Paislee C'est La Vie stickers and also one of the pieces from the same ephemera pack.

I have used these beautiful gold glitter thickers from the Maggie Holmes Bloom collection for my title and quickly added a little journalling! 

My final touches were some staples and some little black glitter hearts and stars from this Heidi Swapp alpha sheet. And of course, a date stamp and a couple of sentiments!

I hope this inspires you to interpret the moodboard in whichever way takes your fancy! You still have a few days to share your own take over in our FB group so make sure you get your entries in for a chance at some great prizes!

Thanks so much for stopping by, until next time!

Circle Journal page by Tania

Hi again, I'm back today, filling in for one of our other DT members, and I want to share my latest Circle Journal page with you, inspired by this month's moodboard! I love this moodboard, the colours are totally me! Here it is:

For those of you who don't know, we here at Scrappingclearly are involved in a 12 month Circle Journal swap. We have each created our own Journals out of paper bags, created a cover and title page, and then we pop them in the mail and send on to the next person in our group. At the end of 12 months, we will have them returned to us, with 12 amazing entries from other crafty peeps! I cannot wait to get mine back at the end of the year!

So I am working in another member's journal this month. This is what they look like before you begin!

And then after the first few layers of Gesso, acrylic paint and some stencil work.....

I swiped my paint on using an old credit card, I really like the effects you can achieve!  The next layer was using more acrylic paint and bubble wrap as a stamp!

I then wanted to add a layer of stamping, which I did with a coffee stain stamp and some Archival ink in black!

On the next image you can see a little more of the texture leaf pattern which was achieved using one of my favourite, Dylusion's stencils, the Leafy flourish.

I mixed a little of the powder from a Lindy's Starburst Colour shot , into some texture paste to get a shade of green!

After all the colour mediums went on, I stamped some of the cute birds from the 

Dylusions, Put a bird on it, stamp set, onto a piece of Maggie Holmes, Open Book paper, PAGES. I coloured them in with markers and stuck them on the page. The strip of patterned paper is from the Shimelle Starshine scraps I had left over and the quote is also fussy cut from the Shimelle, ASTRO, paper!

You can see here, I added some detail to my stamped black circles, using a few different paint pens. I have the fine, Dylusions paint pens and a thick Posca paint pen. Just love them!!!

To finish it off, I added some journal lines with a marker, and journaled to the theme of this person's book, which is: PIECES OF ME! You will see, I couldn't help myself and added more black circles, this time using the lid from one of my paint dabbers, and some Archival ink!!! (Love getting the most out of all my stash!)

And here is the end result, all ready to pop in a bag and send it on to the next happy crafter!!!!

I hope you've enjoyed this post! If you would like any information on the swap groups we have going at Scrappingclearly, pop on over to the Community Facebook page, the link is above!!! 

Don't forget we have 2 more, new challenges this month, the moodboard above and the sketch!!! Hope you can give them a go!!!

Pretty Card set by Tania

Hi everyone, I'm sharing a cute set of cards I made today, using the most gorgeous, Shimelle, Starshine and Crate paper, Open Book ranges. I still have quite a bit left in my DT kit, but before I cut into any of the remaining papers, I thought, I would use up some of the left overs and make some cards.

The flowers in the Mercury paper, are so awesome, I still have heaps of it left, and I have fussy cut so many of the flowers from it. You can get the idea here, from the card below, where I have layered quite a few of the flowers, and popped some up with foam tape!

I used some blue card bases from my stash and then used some of the striped, Years, paper from the Open Book collection. Just a stamped sentiment and a word from the Orion, Starshine paper, finished this one off nicely.

These cards were so quick and easy. The one above, just had a gorgeous cut out from the Astro, Starshine paper, added onto the striped paper, then a stamped sentiment, some alphas from the Heidi Swapp Vintage chic pack and a cute little arrow from the Studio Calico Wood veneer pack. Oh and I mustn't forget the cute little addition of the peg from, American Crafts!

For my last card, another quick and easy one, I used the striped cut out from the Odyssey paper, the hello cut out from the Astro paper and a couple more of those fussy cut flowers from the Mercury paper!!!

I really enjoyed making these cards, hope you like. Don't forget to pop back and see what all the other DT members are up to this month, TFL!
