You Sparkle Layout for Renea Bouquets + Playing at the Finnabair blog!!!

Goodmorning Lovely Friends,

I hope you are having a wonderful day, about a month ago we had some pretty & peacefulness snow here in The Netherlands and I off course had to take some pictures of our daughter in it. {and just like her mom she doesn't like the snow} But lucky me she let me take a couple of nice ones when she wasn't crying because of the cold. Writting this makes me feel like a bad mom taking her out but when the snow was gone and it was freezing one day she said "snow"in the cutest way ever....

You Sparkle:

For this layout I used some pretty 13 Arts papers. This time I wanted some purple papers to match my flowers. This layout is more mixed media of me then I am normally make but it was so much fun and I think I am planning to make more of them. I am always afraid to use more colour on my work because I always think it's to much. All the mixed media products I used are by Finnabair.

The teal flowers are treated with some mica powder to give it the color to match the background. On the background I used a Finnabair stencil called Manuscript I just love all the new stencils....from the Beautiful Board Large Ornate Flourish Clock Lasercut Chipboard I cut out the middle part because I wanted my picture in there I treated the beautiful board with heavy gesso and later on with the amazing nothern light texture effect paste & some acrylic metallique paint called Vintage Rose. At the end I added some snowflake paste to the chipboard and flowers and also some snowballs .

I kept the swirls very clean for me I only added some heavy gesso & snowflake paste. On the flowers I added some white matte wax & from the opal series the Royal Robes so my layout smells so freaking good I just can't stop smelling it lol. I just love that picture of Abbey she is such a sweet little girl.

Renea Bouquets products used for this layout:

.5 Ounce Lavender Chunky Glitter Glass

1 Ounce no Hole Seafoam Glass Microbeads

Beautiful Board Beautiful Bits Winter Snowflakes Lasercut Chipboard

Beautiful Board Large Ornate Flourish Clock Lasercut Chipboard

Beautiful Board Small Vintage Snowflakes set of 7 Lasercut Chipboard

I Love You Lil' Darlin Layout for Renea Bouquets & Maja Design!!!

Goodmorning my sweet friends,

I have been enjoying myself a lot using one of the most beautiful products there are in this scrapbook industry. I find it sad that I don't have my whole scraproom loaded with all Renea Bouquets gooddies especially the amazing butterflies, dragonflies and beautiful boards....I want them all ;-) Today I show you a steampunk layout with on the picture my handsome husband with our tiny little girly in the shower. I don't know why I assosiate black with steampunk but I do, I used one of the darkest pages Maja Design offers to make this layout.

I Love You Lil' Darlin:

When I could choose my Guest Designer Package I was focussed on the black lace, flowers, butterflies and chunky glitter glass and went around that creating my layout. The beautiful boards are treated with some different mediums...I used Finnabair rust effect paste, waxes and black gesso on some of them and on the other pieces I used some lindy's sprays and a script stamp.

I think the pretty hinges are so cool to used they are very detailed and I have to tell you I am a sucker for chipboards like that kind of steampunk stylish. For me this layout is kind of clean and simple and that is sometimes nice to make as well if I had more flowers I would have added them all lol....

I have tucked the lace in the rips that I made in the papers I always wanted to try that but I never did...To finish my layout I added some amazing black chunky glitter glass and I also added some rub-on words.
