2 very different layouts using Heidi Swapp paper

Soooo its been awhile AGAIN since I blogged. ...... But really where is time going??? Its been busy in the Scott household with school and sport but now swimming club is nearly finished it should get better.... oh wait its then the hockey and Auskick season 'SIGH'

Anyway here are 2 layouts that I created from my DT pack from Mad About Scrappin. They are 2 very different layout, showing you that you don't always need to buy one range for Mixed Media type layouts and another range for the other kinds of layouts.

First up the mix media one:

For this layout I used 2 sheets of paper from the Heidi Swapp Serendipity range. One was kept as a background while the other I cut a few strips off and stuck down on the background. I then gessoed randomly on the strips edges to tie it in better with the background. Then grabbing an Heidi Swapp Stencil I added some circles with texture paste.

I then painted these amazing Frames with some Shimmerz Bling stuff and stuck them down on the page. Then I stuck some lace down randomly too. I also stamped a bit using a Prima brick stamp and ran some mist down the page.

Here is another awesome frame, cut in half and put top and bottom of photo. Used HEAPS of the new Flowers at MAS and some Flourish With A Bling Pearls

I also layered some Prima Lace and silver lace thingy under the photo too.

Now for the 2nd layout:

I created this background by grabbing some white cardstock and with Shimmerz Texturez paints and A2Z Scraplets stencil I added the chevrons. I the sprayed the page with a green Shimmerz Spray and ended up with a nice green background.

With a Black Pen I drew around the cardstock and papers and photo. I then added Flowers

The 'Love and Together' were then stuck down and I added the being from October Afternoons.

And done. A quick layout but bright and fun. All the words highlighted when clicked on takes you to Mad About Scrappin Store where you can buy the items.

Don't forget the Sketch Challenge that MAS has on:

Enter on their Blog page and you could be the winner of one of the 2 prizes up for grabs!!!! how awesome is that :D

Together Time- Stuck? Sketch Challenge

I am here to show you my very 1st layout EVER for a Stuck? Sketch Challenge. Fellow A2Z DT Bel Wood entered the challenge and I just loved her take on the sketch sooo much I had to do one as well.

Here is my take on the sketch:

I just love this photo (but hey, don't I say that about all of them lol ) Its of my hubby and our 3 girls on a beach in Port Denison, W.A. Its 'our' spot. We live a short drive from this town and when we just want a morning off the farm this is where we go to.

For the background I took a My Mind Eye paper and painted on (in a shape of L) Shimmerz Paints Dazzelerz( Gummy Berry Blue). Then on top of that Shimmerz Bling, (Under the sea), which gives it a glitter look. Once dried I painted over that with Shimmerz, (Sunny) .Once the L was finished I lightly painted over the page using the colours sunny and under the sea. Then with a Prima Spot Stamp i stamped heavy in the L area and lightly over the page.

Now for the embellishments. The flowers are Prima, D'Lish Scraps and Mad About Scrappin (as is the Doily) The Flair is Flutterbys

The Frame and Banner's are A2Z. The frame was gessoed and then painted with Shimmerz (Aqua Marine) and then heat dry to get that bumpy texture look. The Banners where gessoed with Gelatos on top. While still wet I stamped over them with the Prima spot Stamp. The paper is from Echo Park. The word Time is from Prima, painted with Shimmerz (sunny).

Here is the sketch:

JOY

Hi I am back today to show my first ever OTP item that was published in Scrapbooking Memories. It is the word JOY with pics of my girls. When I created this I wanted something for Christmas and something that I could change photos so it did not have dated photos on it. This is what I came up with:

I will show you a letter then a close up. For each letter I gessoed, painted red and then added crackle paint. With my fingers I added the bits of white in the cracks. I also lightly stamped in some areas with a Kaisercraft stamp.The vine is a Cheery Lynn die and flowers are Prima and Scrapbooking In Geraldton.

Each letter a A2Z Scraplets. They were inked and embossed silver.

The photos are thumb tacked on the letters so I can change the photo as they get older. I distressed each photo and then matted them.

I added charms from Handmade Halo (now closed) and beads from Scrapbooking In Geraldton

The tiny ladybugs and butterflies are filmo.

So that is it. I had a ball making these and they looked awesome up this Christmas. The letters can be found in spotlight and come in the whole alphabet.

My Dad

Out of all the new release layouts I did for A2Z, this has to be my most favourite one. Its of my youngest daughter (who is a daddy's girl through and through) and hubby.

I did the background by using the new A2Z Stencil, putting texture paste over it and then spraying mist on the top on the page and letting it drip down.

The new Scraplet 'My Dad'. I gessoed it then sprayed over it with mist and using a baby wipe, wiped most of the colour off. The paper flower is from Charms Creation and the rest is from Mad About Scrappin.

These 'Map Pointers' are also new Scraplets. After gessoing I inked them blue. I also used the arrows on the inside of the pointers on the background.

Close up of the New Release Stencil.

More A2Z release and challenges

Well I am a bit behind in my posts but its that busy time of yr for farmers. And of course sick kids and sleepovers added in the mix makes this Mum busy.

This layout has 2 brand new Scraplets. I had soooo much fun creating the background, sometimes its fun just to create.

The background is Gelatos sprayed with water. I then stamped a Prima stamp on it. Love this stamp, but because of the size not one I use much of.

These MUSHROOMS have to be my fav out of the the mushrooms at A2Z. After gessoing I painted the tops red and blending it down the stalk. Then I added a few of the Flourish With A Bling Mushrooms. The grass is also painted.

The Love You in the circle is another new release from A2Z. Simply painted red and black. Then added some twine to 'hang' in the tree.

The clouds are from Flourish With A Bling. The paper and butterfly I got from Mad About Scrappin.
