This Family was Created with Love Layout for ***Celebr8***!

 Goodmorning lovely friends, 

Today I give you some inspiration with the gorgeous "Our Story"collection by Celebr8 This collection has lot's of wonderful word strips like all the Celebr8 collections have. For this layout I used a picture of my darling cousin Jaime with her husband Weston & baby boy Phoenix. I just love the feel this picture gives and it was a great fit for this paper collection.

This Family was Created with Love:

The base of my layout consists of the beautiful "Textures" collection the leather sheet which is such a lovely fit for this collection. Then I cut one sheet in half and added them together in the opposite way after that I lifted the left half of my layout slightly with some foam tape.

 I added a clear gesso base on the upper sheets which is one now. I also used a stamp by Pascale Bernard that she designed for 49 and Market. Then I used a new stencil by "Studio Light" randomly on my page after that when it was not fully dried I added two embossing powders by: 
 "Lindy's Stamp Gang"
Byzantine Bronze Embossing Powder
Bratwurst Brown Embossing Powder
Then I used my heating tool to let it shine a little. 

All the flowers you see on this page are all handmade with my precious dies {love making flowers so much but it takes a lot of time} In the end I added some little elements that are in this gorgeous collection as well. And a couple of spray's by:

Flat Fabio Sandra Dee Sepia Spray

Starburst Shimmer Mission Bells Brown Spray

Starburst Shimmer Grab a Guy Gold Spray

2 Cards for ***Scrap And Me*** Challenge #91 Card!!!

Hello my crafty friends, 

It's the 8th of the month and that means another challenge over at the ScrapAndMe blog. This time the challenge is create a card, well that's easy so I made two of them a blue/aqua one and a pink one. The pink one I made a little shaker box on with a older die by "Cheery Lynn Designs" with some glitter glass and sequins in it. And the blue/aqua one I used a window frame on I just love them. 

I always make two cards if I make cards because in former design teams that was a commitment to the team you where on. So that never left my side lol. It seems when I am planning to make cards I start with one but half way through I begin on the other one and the one I started with is the last one I finish. 

You are One of a Kind so Smile:

If you combine blue and aqua it's not that hard to take a picture in some weird way. As you see I love to stitch on my work and I do that also with the cards I make. I really love the word strips in all the pterry ScrapAndMe collections.

I was so much in a flow with making these cards there is one other on my desk as I write this post using the pretty "Sunflowers" collection using my sunflower die that's in my stash forever {Cheery Lynn Designs} 

Be Happy Beautiful:

Scrap And Me papers used: I have used mainly scraps from several collections.

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.

"Cherish That Wonderful Day Canvas" for ***2Crafty Chipboard*** & *Playing at Finnabair March 2022 Art Recipe*!

  Hi lovely friends, 

For today I show you some mixed media inspiration, this is a reversed eight by eight canvas with a picture of our Abbey and lot's of 2Crafty chipboard pieces. This time I used a different colour combination which is more my style.

Cherish That Wonderful Day:

2Crafty Chipboards used: 
 Fine Word Set 1
Lace Doily Frame
Frames Tiny Vivian's 
Square Leafy Frame Set
Corner Steampunk 6 Set

All the chipboard pieces are first treated with white gesso, then I added rust paste on them with the exception of the fine word "Cherish" that one was treated with liquid acrylic {nude}. After the rust paste was dry I added several different mediums on the beautiful 2Crafty chipboard pieces such as matte & metallique waxes, impasto paint & metallique acrylic paints.

The canvas was treated with tissue paper, then I added some paper texture paste on the outer side {the wood part} of the canvas when that was all dry. I placed another layer of tissue paper on the outer edge. It took a bunch of hours to let it all air dry before I could embellish it. 

With this canvas I will be entering the amazing Art Recipe on the Finnabair blog!

 I have used: Tissue Paper & Matte Wax

Products to choose from:  Jewel Paste, Chipboard, Matte Wax, Tissue Paper

The colours: dusty rose, delicate coral, light taupe.
