Our Beautiful Honey Layout Playing at ***Mixed Media Academy*** & ***Scrap And Me*** & ***13 Arts***!!!

Goodmorning lovely friends, 

I am longing for summer warmer nights, happy people & lots of sunshine. Spring is the next best thing new flowers little baby animals like cows, horses, bunnies & more. For this layout I was inspired by the gorgeous April mood board at both Mixed Media Academy & 13 Arts for the last one it was a challenge to not use pink as that is very easy when you have a picture of your little girl. So I went for yellows and minty teals {if that's a color lol} I have used two collections by 13 Arts named "Aura Rose" & "Aria Story"

Our Beautifil Honey 

I was very inspired my this months moodboard at Mixed Media Academy, I am normally not such a fan of the color yellow for my layouts but in combination with the minty teal I just loved it. I was also inspired by the flowers & buttons in this amazing moodboard. I ripped the two papers I used in pieces and then placed it on top off each other after that I added a stencil by finnabair called "Wild Berries"

The flowers on my layout are some older flowers by Prima Marketing and the other flowers are by 49 and Market. The beautiful boards lasercut chipboards you see are designed by the lovely Renea from Renea Bouquets I just love her amazing designs. Some of the beautiful boards lasercuts are not treated with anything but the frame underneath the picture is treated with some powder blue paste by finnabair and also the dragonflies you see in my layout are treated with the same paste.

Before I added the stencil I used some clear stamps on the background of my layout as some different lindy's sprays & mika powders. To finish my layout I added some art stones, sequins {the yellow ones are by 13 Arts} and some wishing bubbles in minty teal & grey. 

With this layout I will be entering three challenges the first one is at: 

Mixed Media Academy 

You had to use at least three colors from this amazing mood board I used the yellows, minty teals and grey.....I really loved the freshness of this moodboard.....

The second one is at: 

Scrap and Me

Challenge #79 make a project bassed on spring which I did, their amazing DT made some lovely samples which are very inspiring. Just use the link above this sentence to see!!

The third one is at:  

 13 Arts

For me it's very easy to take out my pink papers and start to create a layout....so for my own challenge I did not use pink ;-) {that was pretty hard tho} For this challenge you had to use at least two colors from the board which I did....

Thank you so much for your visit & I really hoped I have inspired you with this project...have a wonderful day!

Frozen Layout for ***Creative Embellishments*** April Challenge + Playing at Lindy's Stamp Gang!

Hello lovelies, 

Oh boy where did March go? I just can't believe it's April already....sadly I was not chosen to be among the top 30 finalist at Graphic 45 but I will not give up that easy hehehe! One day maybe, but for now it will remain a dream {which is also something to look forward too right?}

Today I would like to show you a layout I made for the Monthly Challenge at "Creative Embellishments" this mood board totally got me inspired!

One of my first design teams I was on had to do with music {Scrap it with a Song} so this was not hard at all just take a look at the mood board. 

I was planing to make a layout with a black background for a long time now and I finally got to do it!

I am a hugh fan of "Within Temptation" I even went to a concert {that is a big deal for me because we don't do that often which is very sad I think} So I picked a title of one of my favorite songs of them "Frozen"! What inspired me on this board were the colors black, orange/yellow, pink, purple and the music notes so that is how I made my layout. 

Frozen: 

I also took a piece out of the lyrics in that wonderful song!

Tell me I'm frozen 

What can I do? 

Can't tell the reasons 

I did it for you. 

This was a really fum page to make and I think I am kind of hooked now working with a black background so you will see more of them in the future. Let's have a closer look: 

The flowers are from a online store and came from somewhere in china they are really bright colored and I just soften them up with gesso, spray and snow. For the background I used a stencil, paste, stamp and spray. 

If you don't know the song you could listen below: 

Thank you so much for your visit and I can't wait to see your creations on the "Creative Embellishments"blog I sure hope you will play along this month. 

Have a lovely and creative day!
