Spooky Halloween Hair Clips for Abbey + Playing at Lindy's October Color Challenge & Scrap And Me Blog Challenge #121!!!

Goodmorning lovely friends, 

Our daughter Abbey loves Halloween and she asked me to make some spooky hair clips and so I did. The first clips you see in the picture below are flower hair clips with handmade fabric flower with in the center a eye {love those eyes}and coloured with some magicals. The other clips are made with some Finnabair moulds and I altered them with some lindy's embossing powders and some Finnabair glitters.

Spooky Halloween Hair Clips 

These are my favorites loved how they turned out and those eyes are wonderful and it just finishes off the flowers at least that's what I think.

Our cute witch 

And these are some spookyer ones it's so fun if you use embossing powder on a black background it turnes out very different than you think like you see above. The colors I used are above the hair clip. 

 With these Spooky Halloween Hair Clips I will be entering this months color challenge at 
the Lindy's Gang Facebook Page the set of this month is "Haunted Halloween" 
Here in Holland we are not very familiar with Halloween but there is more and more to buy & to do for that day and I have to say I love that! I used two colors of the Magicals & three Embossing Powders, Loved making these off the page projects for Abbey. 

and I will be entering this months challenge at the ScrapAndMe Blog which is
 "Anything But a Card" 
and I made some spooky Halloween hair clips for our daughter Abbey since she loves Halloween and spooky stuff. 

 Thank you so much for your visit today. And I sure hope that I have inspired you to make something spooky & I wish you a wonderfull and creative day!

Never Change Canvas for *** Lindy's January 2024 Color Challenge***!!

 Hello my lovely friends, 
Today I am here with you to share a mixed media panel, this time I used a 30cm by 10cm and I placed it on the side. For this canvas I used a whole bunch of moulds by prima marketing. I also used the magical shakers in diffrent ways I will explain that later in my post. For this canvas I didn't use a picture which is exceptional for me haha but I managed 

Never Change: 

I am a sucker for the sprays by Lindy's Gang I use them on almost every layout for this canvas I also used three of the sprays which I will list below. I am relative new on how to use the shakers but what I did on this canvas was....the branches I treated with some white gesso and whie that was still wet I added the magical shaker in the color {Gustav's Gold Leaf} and used my dabber to get it smoothly into the sureface then I added a little water and the {Alive & Kissing Cobalt} to get more depht in my branches. 

Lindys's Stamp Gang products used: 

Kissing Klimt Flat Shaker Set {I used all five} 

Gustav's Gold Leaf

Alive & Kissing Cobalt

Every Picture Teals & Story 

Das Werk Wine

Kissin' Couple Crimson

Frozen Jack Frost Shimmer Spray

Sidewalk Chalk Flat Spray

Blazing Black Flat Spray

On the background of my canvas I used some crackle paste & the other tree colors and also the golden color. On the cute little birds I used almost the same technique as I did on the branches but then I dipped my pencil in the powder and placed it on the birds for that I used the {Das Werk Wine & Kissin' Couple Crimson}

On both fames I used the watercolor technique so I added some water with some of the powder in a bottle and sprayed it on the frames then I dried it with a heatgun and the I added more powder and used a brush and some water...then I did that a couple of times until I had the color I wanted. 

Thank you so much for your visit I hope you like my work & if you would like to know something please let me know. 

Have a great day & much 

My Family back in 1951 Layout for ***Graphic 45***!!!

Goodmorning lovely friends,

I am a huge fan of old photos so I went to my uncle & moms Facebook page to steal some.

This one is with my great grandmother in the middle on the left you see two of my granddad’s sisters and on the right my two great grandfathers.

I also really love soft toned Graphic 45 paper collections so that’s why I used an older one here “A Ladies Diary” you can surely remember that one right? The graphics are amazing and on this layout I used two molds a set of little hands to hold the title and a frame to hold the photo.  

My Family back in 1951: 

Making layouts is my thing as you can see, also I love to add layers so that’s what I did with this one. Stitching is my signature style as you see here I did that on both cream colored sheets. Then I used a script stamp and a stencil to my layout and later on I added some white spray. For this layout I did a lot of fussy cutting which is very relaxing but also very time consuming and of that last one I don’t have that much. 

Metal embellishments are amazing to use and on this layout I have used two buckles, one in the left upper corner and one in the right lower corner. And wow even for me it’s odd that I didn’t use any chipboard pieces on this one. 

I distressed all the edges of my layout, building this page was very easy and this one was made within five hours without counting the fussy cutting part. I colored the molds pieces with some sprays, acrylic paints matte & metallique and some waxes. 

I also used the stickers sheet which is full of pretty phrases, words and letters. The letters I used for my title, and I also used the “Graphic 45 unique papercrafting” in my buckles I cut them off my papers. 

That beautiful lady was lifted with foam tape so I could add that flower cluster in the end I added some bubbles and waxes on the flowers to soften them up a little. 

I also did a lot of fussy cutting on this layout I find that very relaxing. 

Graphic 45 products used:

Me at 45 1st Layout for ***Graphic 45***!!!

Hello my lovely friends, 

Today I am here to show you my first layout as a brand ambassador for Graphic 45. I still can't believe I am on their design team. For this layout I have used a golden oldy and my favorite collection they have ever made "Olde Curiosity Shoppe"! Back in the day's and even now I am a huge fan of soft toned papers and shabby chic and vintage stuff like lace, flowers, pinks & blues. But when I won the "Olde Curiosity Shoppe" on the Grapic 45 blog I was in love right away although the colors are not really up my ally if you know what I mean. 

Me at 45 {love my work} 

Me at 45! {it’s a bit ambiguous} I turned 45 on march 6th & me at Graphic 45.
For this layout I used three pictures, one of me and two of my work place. I have worked as an optician since 2014 and love my job. Before that I also worked in an optic store {the same one} but I couldn’t measure eyes and I went to school to make that dream come true.

The pictures are all in frames that I made with molds and treated with paints, ink and waxes. 

On the background of my layout I added the Graphic 45 “Script & Argyle Stamp” and a stencil then I stitched around the edges which is my signature on almost every layout I make.

 I also used a couple of metal embellishments on my layout, some older and some newer. The black flowers are from the rose bouquet collection and are still available in the graphic 45 store. I also added a small glass bottle next to my picture with little screws & nuts in it that I use at my job on a daily basis.

In the end I added some micro beads with screws & 

nuts on a couple of places throughout my layout and also some bigger pearls near or on the flower clusters. I also added a couple of butterflies which I placed on top of each other to give them more dimension. 

Graphic 45 products used:

Other products used: 

Moulds, Ink, Waxes, Stencil, Screws, Nuts, Glass bottle, Flowers, Metal pieces, Jute cord, Micro beads,

I hope you enjoyed my post & layout as much as I love creating them.
Stay happy & creative, much 

"Handsome You Canvas ***March Color Challenge at Lindy's***!

Hi my sweet fiends, 

I was so happy with the March 2023 color challenge at Lindy's that I had to participate. I love to make gruncy projects with gears but it's way out of my comfort zone as I am normally totally into sweet pink and soft toned papers & embellishments like flowers and such. I totally went overboard with the gears and I used a then and now picture of our 18 year old son Kevin. And I used some older prima marketing flowers that I sprayed in the colors for this month. 

Handsome You: 

When the new Sharon Ziv mould was introduced I so wanted to have it and I have to tell you it's amazing. The gears are threated with two layers of gesso and some rust paste and some of the beautiful Lindy's Spray's. The same three butterflies are by Renea Bouquet and the other two by Prima Marketing. 

The words handsome & you are sprayed with the Tibetan Poppy Teal Shimmer Spray and 

 Luscious Lime Flat Spray I really love the effect that the sprays give to the chippies and moulds. I treated the window with some crackle paste and later sprayed it with the two sprays above. 

I also used a finnabair stencil on the background and I made myself a new watermark I love how it turned out like my canvas. This was such a fun project to make hope you like it too....

Lindy's Spray's used: 
Luscious Lime Flat Spray
