My Delightful Everything for Renea Bouquets + Playing at ScrapAndMe & Splashy Mix Challenges!!!

Hi Sweeties,

I am so excited to show you my latest work for this amazing design team of Renea Bouquets. For this layout I used a picture of my wedding day back in 2012 & some amazing Scrap And Me papers called "Vintage Garden" and off course a bunch gorgeous Renea Bouquets products. I was so amazed by a sketch on the ScrapAndMe site from last month that I had to use it a second time here for this layout.

My Delightful Everything

{Happy Valentines Day}

I cut out three strips of paper which I distressed & inked then I placed those on my background sheet slightly lifted with foam tape. Then I cut out two circles in two different sizes and lifted those also and placed them on top of the strips. After that I treated my background with stamps, a stencil & some lindy's sprays.

As you see in the three pictures above I placed some lace in the hearts of the phrase & a cute little dragonfly on top of one of the hearts. Some of the Beautiful Boards are treated with rust paste, acrylic paints,waxes and some just with a little gesso.

I cut up the pretty Beautiful Board Circuit Elements Lasercut Chipboard and placed in the ivy heart on the left page underneath my picture. To finish my layout I placed some lace randomly around my layout and used the bits and pieces also and tucked them in. For this layout I did a lot of fussy cutting because all the pretty papers are so made for that!

Beautiful Renea Bouquets products used:
Beautiful Board Ivy Heart Frame Set of 3 Lasercut Chipboard Frames
Tiny Treasures Premium Paper Lissie Glitter Glass Dragonflies
Reneabouquets Trim Sheer Romance Lace White
Beautiful Word Medium Happy Valentines Day Lasercut Chipboard
Beautiful Board Circuit Elements Lasercut Chipboard
Blush Roses Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers
Red Currant Roses Leaves Mulberry Paper Flowers
Key set of 4 Tarnished Brass Dream Metal Keys

With this layout I will be entering this months challenge at the ScrapAndMe blog it's challenge #85 and you have to use lace. I have also used last months sketch {I only rotated it} but I was to late to enter a second time!

And I will be entering this month moodboard at Splash Mix Challenge blog challenge #32 use the colours in the palette....

I am delighted you where here on my blog and if you like my work please leave me a comment or if you have any questions about my design...please do so too! I love to be of any kind of help ;-)

I wish you a wonderful rest of the week!

Much love.....

My Beautiful Happy Little Girl Layout for Renea Bouquets & Playing at ScrapAndMe!!!

Goodmorning Sweeties,

Today I precent you another layout with some soft tones this time, and a picture of my pretty little girl and myself. For this layout I used the pretty paper collection "Sapphire Days" by Scrap And Me it has pretty blues, greens & soft browns in it which is totally in my comfort zone. I used a couple of my favorite Renea Bouquets products for this layout.

My Beautiful Happy Little Girl:

{that I love so ridiculously}

I went with this months sketch at the Scrap and Me blog which is totally amazing. On my background sheet I stitched around the edges as I did on my circles then I placed 3 strip pieces of slightly darker blue papers on that background sheet which I lifted a little.

I treated most pieces of chipboard with gesso, embossing powder, paint and waxes but the leaves I left them just the way they where. You can see that in the closeups. I also did a lot of fussy cutting for this layout.

This picture is very dear to me I just love the way Abbey smiles here, she is such a awesome, sweet & wonderful little girl. On the background I also added a stencil en some sprays and to finish my layout of I added some wishing bubbles and some shard glitter glas.

Charming Moment Canvas Playing at Finnabair & 49 and Market!!!

Hello my lovely friends,

Today I am here with you to share a 10 by 10 inch canvas, that I created for my beautiful cousin Nicole! On the picture you see her first granddaughter the pretty Amelia Jane from her oldest daughter Nadene and her husband Jason. Don't you just love that little face.....for this canvas I have used the pretty 49 and Market sketch for the month September & I used the gorgeous colors from Finnabair's Art Recipe for August.

Charming Moment:

I really loved this color combination since rich yellow is not really a color that I use that often, I think it worked out really pretty here. This was Amelia her first photo shoot and she was a little doll! For this canvas I have used the "Serendipitous" mini collection with the cutout sheet and first I added the rub ons on the background paper then the pretty script stamp.

Then I added a script stencil with some Finnabair white crackle paste you see that behind my picture, then I made the grungy frames mould when it was dry I put heavy white gesso on it before treating it with other Finnabair products.

Then the building of my page starts I always love this part of creating, but firstly I treated the pretty frame with some amazing impasto paste, acrylic paint & waxes I love the way it turned out. At the end I added some Art Pebbles & Wishing Bubbles.

Goodmorning my lovely friends,

As you all may know by now I am a die heart layout maker and it takes me roughly about five hours to create a layout.

"Shine Brightly" Hanna Mixed Media Panel playing at Finnabair's blog!

Hello dear friends,

How very nice of you to visit my blog, today I'd show you a mixed media panel. I made this project in honour of "Hanna Nicole Hale" my cousin her youngest daugther, who left this beautiful earth to be with god and the angels on July 23rd. I think to be creative in any way is very healing to the soul at least it is for me. It's totally out of my comfort zone to make something like this because most of you know my passion is with layout's & cards. But it was very theraputic and I really like how it tuned out.

Shine Brightly Hanna:

For this project I used a whole bunch of "Finnabair"products. First I added heavy white gesso on the background then I added a stencil to later on treat the background with a couple of Lindy's spray's & some Artisan Powder "Paris Rose"

I also used some fussy cut flowers from the Miles Apart collection by Maja Design all the words texts are from Tim Holtz. I would love it if Anna would make something like that one day ;-) Al the flowers are by Prima Marketing

If you look closely you see two greek numbers, two times eleven that was her age {22} and you see a four that is the age of her son. So you see this was made from the heart and I can tell you I shed a tear while making this.
