Good Fun by Belinda Spencer

 Hi Scrapping Clearly fans!

It's Belinda here today to share my layout inspired by the December Mood Board using lots of goodies from the Scrapping Clearly store.

For this layout, I started by mounting a cropped sheet of heavy weight Marshmallow cardstock on black cardstock. I used some Prima Vintage Gold Icing Paste with a Heidi Swapp stencil to add some dots to my background.

Once the paste was dry, I spritzed on a Lindy's Stamp Gang spray. I let the colour drip down the page and also added some splats.

Next I layered some papers together. I used all Heidi Swapp papers as well as tags and a photo frame all by Heidi.

I attached a cute gold Heidi Swapp Photo Corner to my photo and added that too.

I added a Charm's Creations arrow with a bit of gold on it.

I used some Vicki Boutin Thickers quotes, title and little embellishments.

Here's what I used:

HEIDI SWAPP:

- Storyline Chapters 12 x 12 Project Pad

- Believe 12 x 12 Paper Pad

- 6 x 6 Die Cut Papers

-Photo Frames

- Photo Corners

- Magnolia Jane Gold Leaf Tags

- 

VICKI BOUTIN:

- Storyteller Ephemera Cardstock Die-Cuts

- Storyteller Thickers Stickers

- Colour Study Thickers

“My Love’

Hi All!

I am super-excited to be here as a new part of the Scrapping Clearly community! – and I hope you enjoy my first post in this group.

I have here, a project that is my take on this month’s gorgeous mood board.

This photo was captured on a summer trip to the Victorian high country with the love of my life and our two boys.

To start the page, using some heavy white cardstock from my stash, I prepped the background using Dina Wakley Clear Gesso.

After this, to prepare the background, I mixed some water with some Tim Holtz - Ranger - Distress Oxide in the ‘Fossilized Amber’ and smeared it around the page with some plastic until I was happy with the coverage.

Then I added some splatters of ‘Pure Sunshine’ Dylusions by Dyan Reaveley and some splatters of Dina Wakley Heavy Body Acrylic Paint in the ‘Elephant’.

Using some more of the Amber Distress Oxide, I stamped around the page using ’49 & Market - Gabi’s Textures Stamp Set.

For the layers behind the photo, I have used some papers from the Pink Fresh Studio ‘Boys Fort’ Collection.

Then, I adhered the photo in place …and it was time for embellishment!

In this cluster here, as pictured, I have used words from Tim Holtz Idea-ology – ‘Small Talk’, with some Prima flowers.

Around the page, I have used wood veneer painted corners - these are Wanderlust Embellishments.

The title is made using ‘Thickers’ foam letter stickers – the ‘Together’ range. For the square border I have used ColourBlast Colour Spray (‘Roadbase’) mixed with water. The squiggles around the page were done using a Posca Uni Marker pen, from the shop.

Well I sure had fun putting this page together with all these goodies!

I hope you, too, are inspired, and I look forward to seeing your take on this month’s mood board!

Ciao, Amy 😊

Cards for the Boys with Lisa J

Hi everyone,

My boys always seem to be going to birthday parties lately and my stash of premade cards was dwindling
so I took some scraps from the gorgeous Cocoa Vanilla You Rock collection and some kraft cardstock
and set about making some cards.

Bright, fun, and quick - exactly my type of birthday card.

The first card, 100% Awesome, I personalised for my soon to be 14 year old.
I have added some stickers from the You Rock Accessory Sticker Sheet, a wood veneer star,
enamel dots and some Thickers for the 14.

 For the second card I fussy cut some stars, added offcut strips of paper and washi strips, together with some more wood veneer pieces and tiny letter stickers.

I decided to try colouring the wood veneer with markers for the next card.
They turned out pretty cute.

Enamel shapes, thickers, wood veneer and lots of paper strips made up the next card. I love to use up all my left over bits and pieces.

And lucky last card I added some cute sequins.

Do you make cards with your leftovers before you clear the desk for the next project?
I am trying to make sure I do before my scrap bin overflows even further.

Don't forget today is the last day to enter the awesome Scrapping Clearly sketch and mood board challenges.
You have to be in it to win it. 

Happy Scrapping

Combining Paste and Sprays, and challenges

Good Morning Arty Peeps!

Hope y'all are well and happy creating.

This month creative play time has been at a premium for me, too much other stuff going on.

So I have combined the two Scrapping Clearly challenges into one layout.

From the mood board I took inspiration from the fire image at bottom right,

then designed my page based on the sketch.

I started by applying Colour Blast paste in Lipstick, Rose Petal, and Tangareen

through a Crafter's Workshop stencil, onto black cardstock.

I then sprayed it with Heidi Swapp Color Shine, Gold at the top, and Navy at the bottom, adding some splats of each colour reversed (Navy on top, Gold on the bottom).

With such impact in my background, all I needed was a title and a story, which I wrote in Dymo. 

You can see here, the fabulous effect of the sprays on the Colour Blast paste. You can also see that I used a piece of pre-misted (Dylusions) cardstock to mat my photos with a really thin border, just to make them pop a bit.

Here are the two challenges that inspired my page.

Play along and upload your projects into the Facebook folders by clicking on the link under each image. There is a $30 shop voucher for the winner of each challenge, gotta love that!

Hello Everyone

Welcome back to the Scrapping Clearly blog. 

Today I am sharing with you a beautiful layout using the stunning Moonstruck collection by Pink Paislee and the exciting thing I also get to share with you is a process video of how this layout came together. 

This is a simple quick and easy layout. The fussy bit is all in the cutting of the flowers, but definitely worth the outcome. 

In this layout I used Moonstruck cardstock, puffy stickers, and ephemera, a little gesso and some thickers phrase stickers titled Dream. 

I just love this photo of my little girl and our puppy. It's a magical photo that I've had for almost a year to scrapbook but was waiting for the collection that would help to make it as magical as I thought it was.  

Using a foam sponge and some gesso I created the effect of clouds. I loved how it turned out as it really softened the transition between the mail cluster and the page. 

Now you will have to hang in there for the process video as I have only done a few and I'm just getting the hang of it. But I have a great time doing it so I hope you enjoy it and it helps to see how this layout all came together. 

All the products that I have used you can find in the Scrapping Clearly store.
