Documented - Todays moments are Tomorrows memories

 Hello Happy Crafters

I hope you are all well and staying safe and creating to your hearts content . 

Today I am sharing a layout I created inspired by two challenges I found. 

I was inspired by More than words challenge = Books and Book papers - please click on their image below for their Challenge and Inspiration and Mixed Media Academy = Its the little memories that will last a lifetime and their beautiful colours on their moodboard. Please click on their image for their Challenge and inspiration

I was inspired by the MTW challenge of documenting our special moments like a book and MMA creating an album of memories that will last a lifetime. My family love paging through my scrapbook albums with creative pages and memories. 

So lets get started: 

These are the products I used to create the background on my page

I used two halves of patterned paper and distressed the edges and inked them.

i stamped the background and stencilled ink through the stencil to create more depth

I then primed the page with #peboebindex  once all the ink was set and dry. 

I then coloured some Die cuts I cut on my Bigshot and Home made resins.

I used #Lindy's Flat and Starburst #Magicals to colour the gear die cuts: poppin pink & urban amethyst and then used the #nuvo expanding mousse to add gold texture randomly on the gears. 

I used #lindys Starburst sprays on my resins - Whale watch blue & Blue Hawaiian blue

I brushed over the edges with #ranger Vintage photo and added #nuvoexpandingmousse - gold

I then coloured a few other handmade resins with #Lindys Starburst sprays and #magicals

Yellow Rose of Texas, Luminous Lemon and Clam bake Beige spray.

I also highlighted the raised edges with Nuvo mousse - Gold

I coloured some large paper roses with #magicals Yellow roses of texas

and #Starburstsprays - Cape Cod Coral & Fuzzy Navel Peach

I dye sprayed smaller paper roses as below

I matted my photos on cardstock and mounted with strips of carton to raise them. 

I printed book pages on rice paper for my background.

I then worked on how I wanted to lay the photos and embellishments.

I printed some quotes and words

I then adhered the photos and embellishments to the page.

Here are some close ups

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed the share.

Chillin' out

 Hello Happy Scrappers 

Hope you had a wonderful week. 

Today I am sharing a layout I created of my family Chillin' on beach and exploring. 
What more could you ask for ? Having the beach and able to explore. What an adventure.

Here is the process: 

I used #pebeobindex to primer and seal the paper

I then added Texture paste through a stencil

Once the paste was dry, I spritzed the paper with a little water and added 

#magicals Bachelor Button Blue. I added more water to dilute the colour a 

a little  more and spread it around the stencilling. 

Once this was dry I splattered white paint on the page.

While the page was drying I painted my home made resins with Gesso and then inks.
I used an embossing pen to highlight the raised areas of the resins and flowers and 
embossed them. I stamped some images and heat embossed them and fussy cut them.

I then placed my embellishments on my page to work out the best layout and what 
embellishments I wanted to use.

Once I was happy with my layout, I adhered my embellishments and photo. 

I added a few speckles of brown ink to finish off. 

Here are a few closeups

I was inspired by the August challenge by #Morethanwords

Prom Night Memories

Hello happy Scrappers

Welcome if you are joining me for the first time, and to my regular visitors
welcome back and I am very happy to see you back again.

Today I am sharing my Layout I created with the photos of my eldest sons'
prom nights. Yip, he went to two and was Stylin'

I started with Stamping with black ink through a stencil. I then sealed the page with
#Liquitex clear Gesso. I added texture paste coloured with #infusions Raspberry
through a stencil and left to dry.

In the mean time I die cut some cardstock and looked though my homemade

clay resins.

I matted my photos and placed them on my page to see how I wanted my layout.

I painted the Die cuts and clay embellishments with black #gesso

I went through my flower stash to find the right flowers and other floral

embellishments to use.

I mixed #infusions with white gesso and dry brushed the black resins and some 

embellishments. I used embossing powder randomly on the resins. 

I used #nuvo expanding mouse and rubbed some randomly on some of the 

embellishments and resins. 

I used the same effect on the letters for PROM.

I adhered everything to the page with my trusty #bostik  All purpose clear glue.

Here are some close ups: 

I absolutely enjoyed creating this layout and love the colours.

Thank you for popping by and I hope you enjoyed the post.

Take care and hope to see you soon
