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:

Best Friends Forever

Hi, Hope you all had an awesome Christmas and New Year. This is my first post of the yr as I took some time away with family. But I am back to show you a layout that I did for Scrapbooking Creations Diva comp that they had at the beginning of last yr. I could not show this layout as it was chosen to be published!!! I ended up with with 2 layouts in that issues, my first and 2nd being published in that mag MADE MY YEAR!!!

This is a pic on my oldest girl first day of Pre Primary. It also has my middle daughter in it. My youngest was just a tiny baby. I just loved this photo and wanted to keep the focus on it.

For the background I randomly put washi tape on cardstock then lightly painted over it with white paint. Then I mixed some texture paste with paint and painted that over a stencil.

The A2Z Scraplets was gessoed and lightly painted. I then glued the pearl trim through the word friends. TIP: Use a glue with a nice sharp point, unlike me who did not and it all ended up a nightmare lol. I then added some embellishments and layout done. The background took the most time.

Well that's it from me. I am thinking its nearly time for a give away so watch this space. Also A2Z Scraplets is under new ownership, so check an eye on their facebook page (HERE) When they get to 1000 likers there will be a giveaway!!!

Thanks for looking
