Hello Wilna by Tammy Klingner

Good morning!   Today I'm sharing a layout I created about meeting the fabulous Wilna Furstenberg!  

  I was lucky enough to attend a retreat last year that she attended.   Whilst there I got to take a couple of her classes, and really enjoyed getting to know her. She is gracious, sweet, funny, bubbly and of course super talented and inspiring.   I used one of Wilna's techniques for the background - painting directly onto white cardstock.  

  I then went crazy adding lots of gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard. I painted some and even embossed some too! I haven't done that for ages!

  I then added a few embellishments from the Bella Boulevard You are Loved Range. I cut lots of little flags from the leftovers and included them too.   A fun, bright, happy page that I hope you enjoy.   Much love xx   Products used: Bella Boulevard You are Loved Hearts Kisses Paper Bella Boulevard You are Loved Fundamentals Stickers Bella Boulevard You are Loved Gift Tags  Bella Boulevard You are Loved Stickers 6x12 Bella Boulevard You are Loved Paper Pieces Bella Boulevard You are Loved The Heavens Paper Crate Paper Cool Kid Buddy Paper 2 Crafty Chipboard Frames Viney Circles 2 Crafty Chipboard Mini Branches 2 Crafty Gigi Chipboard Flowers 2 Crafty Chipboard hello Dylusions Paint - Black Marble Dylusions Paint - White Linen Dylusions Paint - Bubblegum Pink  

Ready Set Go with Bella Blvd by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Hope you are having a great start to 2017!  This week I am using some more of the Bella Blvd Alex collection to create this  fun layout of my son having a water balloon fight 
Ready, Set, Go!

I've had a play with my Dylusions Paints again - creating a black background before adding in some blue and white for some extra colour. Once dry I have added a little stamping too, before adding some simple paper layers.  
I've used a variety of embellishments from my stash to finish of the layout, flair and stars featuring.

My title and the little stars are Crate Paper Cool Kid Puffy Stickers - they are just fab! As you can see I have followed a similar design on each side of my photos to connect the design. 

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Fiona

Forever Layout by Rachel Lowe:

Happy New Year lovely people and welcome to 2017!

I know there will be plenty of inspiration for you in the year to come from All About Scrapbooks!

Here is my third and last layout using the gorgeous Oh La La collection by Kaisercraft.

Today we are going vintage!

Firstly I stamped randomly with the Kaisercraft background Script stamp.

 I then splattered my page with gold colour shine.

I then cut this page down to 11 1/2  x 11 1/2 inches and matted on the dark brown paper.

I finished my background off with sewing around the edges of the page.

I chose my photo which is of my paternal grandparents with their young family in circa 1951.

I placed this to the right of the printed bird. 

I chose several rose die cuts from the pack.

Before attaching I then arranged the die cut cut flowers under the photo.

I also tucked under the top of the photo a die cut tag before attaching.

I added a paper piece tag under the rose to finish off this cluster.

I have inked the 2Crafty chipboard word Forever in an antique gold ink. If you do not have one you could ink in any gold and then go over the top with a brown or pine cone to give it an aged looked. I then attached directly under my photo.

I then fussy cut the flowers from the blue paper with flowers in the corner. Before attaching I have used the brown lace border strip to the bottom of my page. I then attached the fussy cut flowers. I then tucked under a pocket clock and Paris tag, finished off with a foam taped butterfly.  

This collection is ideal for vintage family photos. I have so enjoyed going back to my scrapbooking roots and creating shabby and vintage feel layouts.

Love ths Life by Tammy Klingner

Hi everyone   As we come to the end of 2016, it's a great time to reflect on the year that was and to start thinking about 2017.   This layout is about that......  

  I had so much fun playing with Amy Tangerine's Oh Happy Life range.   It's full of bright colours so I decided to pair it with white and black. I used white as my background, and added some swipes of black paint.  I then added a few layers of papers on top of the black paint, and then added my photo to this.   With some of the leftovers I created a cluster at the bottom of the page.  

For my title I added some 2Crafty chipboard which I painted black, and then I cut 'this life' from one of the papers.   

   Lastly, I added my journaling.  

  I'd like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I have thoroughly loved showing you my work each week, and hope it has inspired you to get creative. I look forward to 2017 and sharing more scrappy stuff.   Luv Tam xx   Products used: Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life Crazy Fun Paper Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life All Smiles Paper Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life Good Morning Paper Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life Little Moments Paper Amy Tangerine Oh Happy Life A Great Day paper 2 Crafty Chipboard - Good Times Line Words White Bazzill Dylusions Black Marble Paint  

Hello Sweet Heart with Crate Paper Cute Girl by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and enjoyed the holiday period. For my last share for the year, I have created another layout using the delightful Cute Girl collection from Crate Paper.

Hello Sweet Heart

For this page I have used some Dylusions Paint to create a blocky background, then I have dipped a credit card in white Dylusions Paint to create a criss cross pattern. 
After layering up some papers, I have embellished my layout with these cute thickers - Crate Adorable Puffy Phrase Shape Thickers. 

Some more of the puffy thickers and a cute paper tassell from the same collection, finishing off with some cute little flowers. 

Thanks for stopping by and wishing you all a Happy New Year!

Fiona

Merry Christmas layout by Rachel Lowe:

Happy Boxing Day to you all!

I hope you had the most wonderful Christmas day and today you are somewhat relaxing.

I have another Christmas layout for you today using Echo Park I Love Christmas collection.

I just adore this photo of my youngest captivated by the lights on the tree, this says the magic of Christmas to me!

I have cut a 4 1/2 inch strip of the snow flake paper but before attaching I have punched 3 layers of scollop borders to add visual interest.

I then set about adding embellishments around my photo.

I added the tree ornament which I also added a brad for some sparkle to mimic my tree lights in my photo.

I then added the Toy Shop chipboard piece with foam tape and tucked the chipboard snowman slightly under it. I finished this cluster off with a die cut snow flake attached with foam tape.

I added another brad to the left of my photo on the scollop border layers.

I then chose a journal card to match my photo (you could choose another one to suite your photo).

I sewed on the journal card in a random manner.

I added the  December 25 banner die cut and finished off with another brad.

I then added another brad on my tree (all of this done before I attached the journal card to my page).

I attached the chipboard Santa with foam tape .

I created my title under the journal card using the chipboard Merry Christmas finished off with a chipboard holly branch.

Against the white cardstock these colours are stunning!

This design can be used for so many different layouts not just this one.

You could also add two 6x4 inch landscape photos if you wanted to.

Well thats Christmas done for another year and I am already focused on the new year, bring on 2017 I say!

Thank you for stopping by today.

Enjoy the rest of the week and see you in 2017!

Merry Christmas! by Tammy Klingner

Merry Christmas one and all!   Well tomorrow is Christmas Eve!! How exciting! I absolutely love this time of year. Wishing you the happiest of days and may the joy and magic be in your heart long after the special day has gone.  

  This layout was created using the new Bella Boulevard Christmas Range. I adore this range and I adore Bella Boulevard too. It's the bright colours.   As soon as I saw this range I knew it was for me. Fresh gorgeous Christmas colours mixed with neutral black and white. Absolutely perfect!!   This photo was taken last year on Christmas Day  and it's one of my favourites from the day. I've been wanting to scrap it for some time, and this range made me jump right in.  

  It's a pretty simple page. I used some White cardstock as my base. I added strips of vertical patterned paper, concentrating on the right hand side of the layout. I then added a few layers of papers behind my photo. To finish it off  I added some of the cute stickers from this range clustered around the photo, I cut out a few little Christmas trees from paper, cause they are just the cutest!!  I then painted some 2Crafty Chipboard for the title and snowflakes. And of course, I finished with some black paint splatters!! Simples!   So that's it from me for 2016.   I have loved every minute of sharing my layouts with you and really hope they have given you some inspiration.   Wishing you the loveliest Christmas, and I look forward to sharing with you in 2017!   Luv Tam xxx   Products used: White Bazzill Dylusions Paint - Black Marble Bella Boulevard Christmas Collection - Fundamentals Stickers Bella Boulevard Christmas Collection Border Paper Bella Boulevard Christmas Collection God's Love paper Bella Boulevard Christmas Collection Greatest Gift Paper Bella Boulevard Christmas Collection Star of Bethlehem Paper 2 Crafty Mini Word Christmas Set 1 2 Crafty Linear Snowflakes

Christmas Cuties and Card/Tag Set by Rachel Lowe:

The week before Christmas and I am sure like me you are vey busy getting ready for the day!

Christmas is a wonderful opportunity to take photos.

I have to admit that each year prior to the actual day I buy some props and bribe my children for half an hour to take some Christmas themed shots, all in the name of scrapbooking of course!

This photo is of my daughter and our very old cat NOT happy being included in this yearly ritual!

This Christmas collection by Echo Park, I Love Christmas is gorgeous and remains traditional in its theme and colours.

I am a huge fan of wood grain background papers and this one was no exception. I splattered some gold on it with colour shine and set aside to dry.

I then inked in gold the 2Crafty chipboard title 'Christmas Cuties'.

I have cut a 5x8 inch strip of the red stripe paper and attached to the right of my wood grain paper.

I love the deer paper and cut a 3 inch strip and attached over the red stripe paper.

Here I created the tree with ornaments feature using the chipboard pieces. You will note at the top of the tree I have attached the angel brad and on the baubles smaller rhinestone brads.

I then glued my title at the bottom of my photo.

To finish off I have attached the chipboard deer with foam tape and added a small chipboard snowflake.

This is a quick layout to put together but is still very striking.

So when the Christmas rush is over and you have a little down time you could make your own Christmas Cuties layout!

As I was on a roll I made some Christmas cards and two tags with 2Crafty Chipboard being the star!

I have used the papers and chipboard from the EP I Love Christmas but to add a wow factor I have used:

2Crafty Chipboard Deer Set

2Crafty Chipboard Prancing Deers

2Crafty Chipboard Brushstroke Christmas Tree

To add texture to my Deer chipboard pieces I firstly painted with Bo Bunny gold dot glitter paste.

When dry I inked in gold to give it a deeper gold effect.

The tree I simply inked in gold.

I have added sewing to my cards to create extra texture.

Not time consuming to make but lovely to receive all the same!

I will be back on boxing day so I will wish you all a very safe and happy Christmas spent with your family and friends. 

Don't forget to take lots of photos!

Happy by Tammy Klingner

 Good morning everyone!  Can you believe we are halfway through December?? 2 more weeks until the end of the year. Yep mind blown.   This week I've been working on a layout using some of Bella Boulevard's Illustrated Faith range. Just adore the colours!  

  This layout is inspired by the craziness of this time of year. In our attempt to get everything done, we can lose the joy. We can lose our focus.   So this is about finding happiness in the everyday craziness. It's about feeling grateful. It's so important.  

  I began by applying some gesso to white cardstock.   I then added a few brush strokes of paint. I wanted to journal on the paint, so I was mindful where I placed it. I added a few flicks of paint as well.  Love the colour!    I added a few strips of paper to the left hand side of my layout.   I added some layers behind my photo, and then embellished with a few page tabs and stickers.  

  Once this was all stuck down, I journalled.   For me this is the most important part.   I hope this layout inspires you to not only scrap, but also to stop and be grateful. So, what are you grateful for?     Products used: White Bazzill White Gesso Dylusions Paint - Polished Jade Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Borders Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Heart a Flutter Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Hearts Kisses Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Paper Pieces Bella Boulevard Illustrated Faith You are Loved Fundamentals Stickers Bella Boulevard Addison Tabbies
