Blowing Bubbles in the Sky Layout for ***ScrapAndMe***!

Happy first of April lovely friends, 

Today we woke up with a layer of beautiful white snow on top of the trees, cars, gras & roof tops. But luckily it's melting again because it's very cold brrr. Today I have another layout to share with you all made with the beautiful "Afternoon Sky"collection from ScrapAndMe. I just love that collection but it's oh so hard to take a good picture because of the blue. 

Blowing Bubbles in the Sky: 

This time I made the pictures black/white my loves daughter blowing bubbles she wants to do it the whole day long hahaha. For this layout I used the pretty 5/6 sheet and cut it in half then I placed the opposite sides next to each other. But first I cut off one cm of the outer edge and stitched around it. Then I placed it on the 7/8 sheet. 

Before I placed the upper sheet on the darker blue sheet I cut out the middle part to matt my pictures & frames. Then I added waterdrop stamps and rub-ons randomly on my layout. After that I looked where I wanted to place my pictures and stuck them to my layout and now I could embellish it with a bunch of fussy cut pieces, flowers and butterflies. 

In the end I used some rub-on phrases, words on the frames and I finished it off by using some shimmer spray. I hope you enjoyed my work and I have inspired you to use your beautiful ScrapAndMe papers.

A Moment With You is Magical Layout for ***2Crafty Chipboard***

 Hi there lovely friends, 

I am excited to show you my second layout for 2Crafty, for this one I used the color yellow which I not use that often. But when I got my new 2Crafty chippies I knew exactly which ones I wanted to use & with what paper collection I was going to use it. The picture is a oldie and I wanted to use it since we are going to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary next month. 

A moment with you is magical: 

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Fine Word Set 2
Frame Fine Circle with Butterflies
11"Fine Floral Frame Set
Foliage Set 6
A Moment With You

All the chipboard pieces are treated with gesso and "purely white"embossing powder then I added a layer of wax with two different colors {rusty brown and old white} on the foliage pieces I added some green matt acrylic paint and on the little circles I added gold pearlecents.

I did some machine stitching around my picture, and also used some pretty flowers, rub-ons, wishing bubbles and did a lot of fussy cutting from the "sunflower" collection by ScrapAndMe. At the end I added some frozen jack frost & shimmer spray. 

I also added some rub-on words & three beautiful butterflies made by my very talented friend Renea Harrison. Thank you so much for your visit and I hope to see you next time.

Much love and happy crafting...

Then the building a layout begins on the bottom of my picture I added some courd as I did on in the flower clusters too....I really like this part of making the layout. Some of the beautiful board I left just the way it is and on some I added paint & waxes.

Let it Snow Layout for *** Renea Bouquets*** & *** Maja Design***

  Goodmorning Lovely Followers, 

So for today I'd like to share my second layout to you all, made with some gorgeous Renea Bouquets products. For this layout I wanted a winter theme all though I really dislike winter....we had some snow in the last 2 weeks {around 20 cm} I find that snow is very peaceful and you can hear yourself think that's nice sometimes. But oh does it get messy when melting ughhh. It was a while since there was that much snow.

Let it Snow: 

As you can see on my layout I did some handstitching which I find very therapeutic to do...I kept the colors very neutral and the layout is very clean & simple at least for me. On my background I added a crackle stamp and a crackle stencil. I also distressed the edges a lot on the the beautiful boards I just some sprays and snow but I gessod it first.

I am a hugh fan of of Renea's Bouquets Moonstone Glass Beads so I added a couple randomly on my page can you spot them? For this layout I used a picture of my husband and son when he was little I could have used some newer pictures but this one is very precious to me. For this layout I used two pretty Maja Design collections "Home for the Holidays" & "Joyous Winterdays"

The frame was treated with gesso and then I added some snow and the amazing Gawdie Girl Diamond Fine German Glitter Glass on top of that snow. I aslo did the same with the snowflake beautiful boards. The butterflies I treated a little to with some spray & snow to make it a little less shiny what looked better on this particular layout.

The Unforgetable Moments of Childhood Magic Layout for ***Maja Design*** + Playing at More Than Words & 13 Arts!!

 Goodmorning my amazing followers,

Today I'd like to share another layout I made for my Maja Design DT work I am so happy that you find the time to visit my blog today, here in The Netherlands they just decided to have a hard lockdown due covid-19, I personally think that it's way to late but who am I right? Luckily in my line of work {optician} we can still be open and help the people who need to see but for my husband it's a whole other story but he can still go to work but we don't know for how long. Well enough of the covid-19.....today I'd like to show you another layout that I made with two gorgeous collections "Celebration"& "Nyhavn"

The Unforgetable Moments of Childhood Magic: 

This was a fun and easy page to make also because I don't have many pictures with snow in it....only when Kevin was a cute little boy. For the bottom part of my layout I used the Nyhavn sheet called sitting at the dock which is one of my all time favorites and for the upper part I used the ephemera sheet of Celebration. At that first sheet I used a awesome winter background stamp by studio light with some stazon jet black ink I stamped randomly, then for the upper part I used a stencil by the dusty attic of stars.

The frame around the picture is also by the dusty attic as is the word childhood. With this layout I will be entering two challenges one is a moodboard of winter at the 13 Arts blog and the other one is of childhood & to add some gold at More Than Words. The leaves you see on my layout are dies by cheery lynn designs which I cut out from the Maja Designs monochromes and then treated with lindy's stamp gang sprays.

I added different golden elements on my layout as glitter glass, gold sprays & finnabair wax on the art pebbles as the finishing touch I added some true snow by arleene's and some butterflies of the coffee in the arbour collection. I also added some flatbackpearls on the frame.

Maja Design papers used: Celebration Ephemera bs, Nyhavn sitting at the dock bs, Mono White Sand bs of the sofiero & Coffee in the Arbour butterflies are free.

As I told you earlier in my post I will be entering two challenges one at More Than Words with the word "Childhood" and to add some gold....how did this moodboard inspire me, well that's easy when I was a child there was snow almost every winter! My brothers and I where always playing ouside throwing snow at each other and playing & skating on the ice....and when Kevin was little we also played in the snow with him and that where fun times reminding me of my own childhood! That's why I used this picture. 

and the second one is at the 13 Arts blog challenge #97 and for you work you needed to use at least one 13 Arts product and I used the words "Unforgetable", "Moments" & Magic from the Chipboard Winter Tales words which I had in my stash for a while now and I finally got to use it yeah....and isn't this moodboard amazing???

Thank you so much for being here with me today I hope you like my work have a wonderful day .......stay safe & healthy......
