Always Follow Your Dreams using Bella Blvd To The Moon by Kerryn Fry

Good morning everyone.

The page I'm sharing today has been created with

Bella Blvd To The Moon.

The photo of Mr H was taken in July 2009

after his first day of school.

I think he might have enjoyed himself.

The base is my favourite Bazzill Kraft cardstock,

but only a small amount of the kraft remains visible.

For the background effect, I have used

the Echo Park I Love School 6x6 Grid Stencil

and Distress Oxide Inks Chipped Sapphire 

and Hickory Smoke.

Love the result!

The photo has been matted with Bazzill Raven cardstock

and then layered with the reverse side of the Borders paper.

I have created the embellishment cluster in the 

top right corner of the photo with

stickers from the 12x12 Doo Hickey Sticker Sheet.

The date is also from the sticker sheet.

The paper layers under the photo

alternate with dark and light patterns.

I've used a border punch on the Imagine paper

and a black gel pen to add a border to

Sky's the Limit and Imagine pages.

The quote has been hand cut from the Borders paper

and added to the page using foam tape.

The yellow corners are from the Sticker Sheet

and have also been lifted with foam tape.

The heart strip is cut from the borders paper

and added to the bottom of the photo.

I've then clustered some stickers

around the bottom left corner of the photo.

The heart sticker has been lifted with foam tape.

The 2 Crafty title Always follow your Dreams

has been covered Hickory Smoke Distress Paint.

I have added it directly to the page with glue.

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

I hope you are inspired by the page

and have a chance to create over the weekend.

Please join us again on Monday

for Fiona's next project.

Summertime using Kaisercraft Uncharted Waters by Kerryn Fry

Good morning Crafters!

Today I'm sharing my final page created with the collection,

Uncharted Waters by Kaisercraft.

Some older beach photos of Mr H from 2011,

enjoying his time in the water.

The base paper is Bazzill Kraft cardstock,

I've used a second sheet of Kraft cardstock to create the extra splashes.

The background effect was done with Distress Oxide

in a few different shades of blue.

Tumbled Glass, Broken China, Faded Jeans and Chipped Sapphire.

Then using the Tim Holtz Layering Stencil Splash,

I have randomly stencilled the inks across the page.

The splashes were then outlined with a white pen.

I did the same effect on the second piece of Kraft Cardstock,

then hand-cut the splashes and covered them 

with Dimensional Magic for a water finish.

Here are some close-ups of the splashes,

love the blend of colours.

The three sayings have been cut from the Shallows paper,

I've outlined each piece with a white pen

and  stuck them on the page, some added with foam tape.

The Sticker Book provided the shells and starfish.

I've used foam tape to add them to the page.

The crabs were also from the Sticker Book,

more foam tape used for a lift.

The saying was cut into pieces

and given a second layer of paper.

The small splats around the title are from  2 Crafty Splat Puddles.

They were covered with Distress Oxide Ink,

I used similar shades as I did in the background.

The final coat is Dimensional Magic.

The 2 Crafty chipboard title is from the 6x6 Summertime pack.

I've used the word Summertime and coloured it with Distress Oxide Inks

using graduated colours from light to dark.

The final coat is Dimensional Magic

Thank you for visiting the blog today.

Have a lovely weekend

and happy crafting.

Please join us again on Monday.

Making Beautiful Memories using Vicky Boutin Wildflower & Honey by Kerryn Fry

Hi everyone! This week I've created another colourful page using  Vicki Boutin Wildflower & Honey. The black & white photo of my big sister, Mr 15 and myself, was taken at my Nieces's 21st birthday a few years ago. We had so much fun with the photo booth.

I have used a 12x12 Kraft Cardstock base,

then decorated it with Scattered Straw & Wild Honey Distress Oxides

and the Kaisercraft Designer Template Scattered Stars.

The black & white photo has been matted with Black Cardstock

and placed on layers of patterned papers.

I've used the Sticker Book to add different embellishments to the paper layers.

The hearts were hand cut from the Fields of Dreams paper

and attached with foam squares to create another layer.

I've used plenty of 2 Crafty chipboard on the page.

The 2 Crafty Polaroid Frame has been covered with patterned paper,

backed with more paper and becomes the perfect journal spot.

The 2 Crafty Stars Pack have also been covered with patterned paper

to balance the pops of colour across the page.

The 2 Crafty Geometric Arrow has been covered with black ink

and used as a base for the larger star.

The larger 2 Crafty star frame has been created as a second journal spot.

 I have doodled faux stitching around the edges of the stars, one paper piece

and drawn circles onto the background as an extra effect.

The 2 Crafty title Making Memories has been covered with black ink and then roughly outlined with a white gel pen to create highlights. I've added a few more words from the Sticker Book.   Thank you for dropping by today, I hope you have enjoyed the process. Have a lovely weekend and please join us again on Monday.
