Another Layout Using Fab Scraps

Hello, I am back again with a new layout to show you using Fab Scrap papers. These came in the wonderful kit I get from Swirlydoo's! It is another wedding layout and I just love this simple but yet touching picture! I am doing some of the wedding pics in black and white, and then will probably go back and do them again in color if I find the right papers that match. Basically for this layout I did a lot of distressing, layering, and spraying. Really quite simple because for me it's like doing a tag, and I find them easy. Filling up a page is more challenging to me, but to get caught up on pictures you may see me doing more of these.

Materials used:

Fab Scraps Shabby Mix

Fab Scraps Little Darlings

Corrugated cardboard

Doilies

Prima Resin Clocks

Dusty Attic Mini Scrolls

Dusty Attic Blue Bonnet Flowers

Dusty Attic Cornsilk Flowers

Perfect Pearl Mist Forever Blue

Dylusions Ink Spray White Linen

Here's my layout:

I hope you enjoy it, and thank you for stopping by.

A New Layout Using Fab Scraps

I am back again with a new layout to share. I started getting my monthly kits from Swirlydoo's again and January's kit had some very pretty Fab Scrap papers. For this layout I chose the softer colors, because the picture I am using is from my youngest son's wedding. This is the first of many wedding photos you will see.

In the kit there was a package of tiny mirrors. Unfortunately, you don't get the full effect in the picture. The silver of the mirrors is so very pretty. I wrapped pearls around them because I did not like them plain. 

Here is my layout:

I'm Baaack!!!

I am finally back to scrapping after a very loooong break! Life was getting so hectic and I really needed to take a break. The most important thing that happened during that time was that my youngest son got married. I am so happy for him.

Anyway, I am finally ready to get back to scrapping. The layout I am about to share with you has been on my desk for months. I did attempt to scrap during my time off but really had no time to devote to it. I can stare at a layout for hours and get absolutely nowhere, but now I should have time to get back in the game.  

For this layout I used Graphic 45's, A Ladies Diary collection. It's so pretty! I have plans for the rest of the paper that I hope will come to fruition! You will want to see if it does! Love this paper!!

To create this layout I cut most of my accents out of the paper. Such as the flowers and clocks. I added a few chippies, and did a lot of punching. I hope you enjoy it.

Tags Tags Tags

Hello again! Today I have 5 tags to share with you. I tried to make each one unique in it's own way. They are for a swap at scrapbook.com. I love creating tags and I love receiving tags by other artists. I used some Graphic 45 scraps on the first three tags. I hope you enjoy them.

Have a wonderful day!

Time With Daddy using Graphic 45

Oh boy did I have fun working with the French Country collection! But then again I have always been a huge fan of Graphic 45! As you can see I layered three papers as my base. . On the top layer I added some punched pieces. Yes I said punched pieces. I punched a bunch of borders using Martha Stewarts doily punch. Then I cut them into individual pieces and adhered around the paper. I wanted just the tip of the pieces to show. Next I cut out a scalloped circle and applied liquid pearls. I then cut a circle that would fit in the scalloped circle. Again I applied the punched pieces. Next I wanted a doily, so I used the English Tea Party Cheery Lynn die. Then I matted my photo and adhered more punched pieces. For the bottom of the layout I added two punched border strips. Now to the fun part. I loved cutting out all those sunflowers. I just kept adding them. Then I used some of the cardstock banners. Now here is the layout:

I hope you found inspiration. Thanks for stopping by!

The Secret Garden Shadowbox

Today I have an altered shadowbox to share with you. It is for a swap at scrapbook.com. We had to use the Secret Garden collection by Graphic 45. Now I tell you, I have never altered a shadowbox before. Wow was it an undertaking. I am so glad it is finished! I made all the flowers by hand. I was going to do a bunch of roses but they were taking forever and I had a deadline, so I had to start using punched flowers. You probably can't tell in the picture but all the flowers were stamped with white ink. I used a few Prima resin pieces, but everything else is from the Secret Garden collection. Anyway here is my shadowbox. Note, it is cloudy here today, so I had to lay the box down to get a decent picture.

I hope you enjoy my little shadowbox. Thanks for stopping by!  

Happiness with Blue Fern Studios Chipboard

Hello again! I am back on a roll creating again! It makes me so happy that I have time to scrapbook again. Today I have a layout using a Blue Fern Studios chipboard word, and of course the word is Happiness.  I am certainly in love with their chipboard! The papers for this layout are from the March Swirlydoo's kit. Most of the the papers are from the Prima Engraver collection. The white board looking paper is from Kaisercraft. I started by punching the Kaisercraft paper with a Martha Stewart punch. I then did some stitching with my sewing machine. No need to be perfect. I then punched a circle with my Martha Stewart circle punch. Next I cut a circle for inside the punched circle. For the chipboard piece I first applied gesso with my fingers and then applied Honey Amber Silk glaze. Most of the flowers are from Prima, but there are a few from Kaisercraft, and a few from my stash. The burlap pieces were from a trim I received in my kit from Swirlydoo's. The leaves were from my stash. At the very bottom you will see that I punched some strips with another Martha Stewart punch. Well that's about it. Here's my layout:
