Birthday Boy with Bella Blvd Wish Big by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Sharing today a birthday page for the four-legged member of the family who recently turned 5! The Bella Blvd Make a Wish collection was perfect to celebrate this occasion. 
Birthday Boy

While I've predominantly used Bella Blvd the base paper is Cocoa Vanilla Studio - the woodgrain papers are my go to when scrapping Harry as the colours match him so well!
I've then layered the Bella Blvd papers, focusing on the turquoise that matches Harry's birthday hat. The Happy Birthday print on the paper I extended out to a banner so the words could be read.  I then added some  word strips from the borders paper to the top of the layout. 

I've used the acrylic Birthday title from the Bella Blvd collection and teamed it up with some thickers. I've then found some co-ordinating turquoise embellishments - the 5 from an old Crate Paper collection and a CVS flair button. Added some stars and arrows from my stash and finished with some wood veneer stars.

Celebrate using Bella Blvd Wish Big Boy by Kerryn Fry

Morning everyone and welcome to 2019! Today's page is my second birthday page using Bella Blvd Wish Big Boy. The photo is of a much older birthday boy this time. and the collection was easy to adapt to suit our older man-child. He really is growing up fast!

I have used a black cardstock background to pop the bright colours in this collection.

No background effects this week, just let the patterned papers shine.

Layering the patterns and plain papers under the photo, starting with the lighter colors first.

The photo and journal spot have been matted with black cardstock 

to tie in with the background.

Most of the embellishments have come from the Ephemera - Words pack.

Some of the elements, I've fussy cut from the Daily Details paper.

The cake, some words and the journal spot were hand-cut

and then lifted with foam tape.

The music notes are from the Borders paper

and fitted in well with the theme of the page.

The title word 'Celebrate' is also from the Ephemera pack,

I have used foam tape and then doodled a faux stitching border with black pen.

The collection of hearts from the Ephemera pack were perfect

to cluster around the journal spot for the extra pop of colour.

I have used foam tape to arrange them 

and then highlighted some of them with a black gel pen.

The speech bubbles were the final addition.

I've used the plain one for the year, using Kaisercraft Alpha Stickers

and adding a little sparkle with Diamond Stickles.

All of the bubbles have all been lifted with foam tape

and then one highlighted with pen.

It's a simple, yet colourful page this week.

Thanks for dropping in today.

Have a fabulous weekend 

and check back in Monday for Fiona's next page.

Be Kind, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi all,   Happy New Year! Welcome to 2019 with All About Scrapbooks.   I loved the fresh and fun colours of the new Jillibean Soup collection - You make MISO happy. Loved putting together this page of my three girls using the paper and embellishments.       I started with the blue background paper - Bite Sized Bits. On this I layered the spotty Tofu paper and the wavy pink Miso Paste paper.   For the photo block, I mounted the photos first on black cardstock and then the yellow Dashi paper.   Then I used diecuts and stickers to finish the page.   For the title (above and below the photos) I choose Be Kind, from the Foam stickers pack.     In each cluster I layered various diecuts, foam hearts from the foam sticker pack and hearts and flowers from the epoxy stickers pack.  

I used some fine line black pen doodling around the paper panels.

And finished with a few splatters of  Dylusions black spray.

 Thanks for looking today!

Amanda

Memories with Mintays Secret Place by Fiona Johnstone

Hello everyone
Happy New Years Eve! Hope you have all had a wonderful 2018 and looking forward to all the fresh possibilities a new year brings. 
To finish off the year, I thought I would share a page that is a little different to my normal style but I really adored these Mintay papers, they are so pretty - and I am a sucker for any pink and green combo!
Memories

I have fussy cut the door paper from Paper 01, I have cut the doors and then stuck them down to the reverse side to create the open door affect.  I've used the woodgrain paper as a base and added some torn paper strips across my layout behind the door. 

I've used a few pieces of 2Crafty Chipboard on this layout. The pieces have had gesso applied, then I added some pink paint, edged them with Pinecone Ink and added some sploshes of gold spray ink. 

Lots of flowers added to this layout too, a mix of 49 & Market and Green Tara. 

Love the little wire swirls. 

and a final cluster:

Thanks for stopping by

Till next week

Fiona

Presents using Bella Blvd Merry Christmas by Kerryn Fry

Hi Everyone! Today I am sharing another Christmas page using  Bella Blvd Merry Christmas. After finally getting into the festive spirit at home over the past few days, I've really enjoyed some creative time using this gorgeous collection. The photos were taken last Christmas, it gets harder every year, but I can still surprise Mr 14!   

I have started by decorating the white cardstock background with 

a Tim Holtz Layering Stencil and some gold paint.

I have then layered different patterned papers under the photos,

mixing the plain papers and patterned papers to lift the darker photos.

I have hand-cut baubles, mistletoe and presents from the patterned papers

and used them in clusters around the page.

They have been lifted up with foam tape for extra dimension.

The 2 Crafty Xmas Polaroid has been painted red,

the word has been highlighted with Diamond Stickles, can't bet a little sparkle.

I have used patterned paper to back the frame to create a journal spot.

Using a black gel pen, I have outlined the journal spot

with faux sticthing.

I have used the 2 Crafty Holly Flourish to frame the photos in opposite corners.

They were base coated with gesso first and then painted using red, green and gold.

Once dry, I have highlighted the berries with more Diamond Stickles. 

The Flourish has also been popped up with foam tape.

 

That wraps up my page for today,

I hope you have enjoyed the process.

Thank you for visiting the blog, enjoy your weekend 

and hope you all have a fabulous New Years.

Please pop back to the blog on Monday

for Fiona's next project.

Wonderful little memories, by Amanda Hartmann

Hi all!   I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and are now enjoying some peaceful scrapping time for Boxing Day!   For today's page I was excited to finally use the first of my Cocoa Vanilla Studio, Midnight collection. I decided the pinks and blues were a great match to some sunset at the beach photos.   Here is the page.     I think I could used the dark navy blue paper "Inky Depths" 1000 times a year - so awesome - and I used it as my background and to mount the panel of 3 photos.   Next I layered the pretty pink "Moonlight" paper. I also used the script reverse side for some backing and panels.   Let's look at some close ups.     I love these papers and colours together!  

For the title in the bottom left of the photos, I used some small word stickers from the Midnight Accessory Stickers. I layered these on some florals, leaves and hearts from the Midnight Die Cut Ephemera pack.

I repeated more of the same in the right bottom corner too.

And in the top corner - more of those beautiful flowers and leaves! You can see here that I also used a photo frame from the  Midnight Die Cut Ephemera pack around one of the photos.

I also made some splatters with some white ink spray. 

 Thanks for looking today... come back next for my first page of the new year!

Thank you for all your support and likes this year. It is wonderful to be able to create for All About Scrapbooks with all this fabulous products.

Joy with Pinkfresh Studio Holiday Vibes by Fiona Johnstone

Hello
Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Hope you are enjoying the festivities. 
I am back with a final Christmas layout, created with the Pink Fresh Holiday Vibes Collection.  Joy

I chose to focus on the blues and pinks in the collection for this layout with a little bit of red to match my dress. 
I worked a bit backwards with this layout and added the large snowflake afterwards as the layout needed something extra. I painted my Snowflake Diecut in a pale pink - I mixed the paints to create a lighter colour similar to the pink in the patterned papers and tucked it under my long paper layers. 

 I love this little cluster of the cute houses in the ephemera pack, adding a hint of gold and finishing the cluster with an epoxy sticker.  My chipboard snowflakes I painted in gold paint then once dry dabbed on some white paint to create a softer effect on the gold   

Thanks for stopping by &  Have a Merry Christmas

Sweet Cheeks using Pinkfresh Studio Escape the Ordinary by Kerryn Fry

Hi Everyone! The page I am sharing today has been created with the collection Pinkfresh Escape the Ordinary. I have been sitting on this collection for a while now,  so glad that I finally decided to crack it open. The photos are of Mr 'then 5' and his Dad being lunatics at the park. That cute face just makes me smile!

I have started the page with black cardstock,

then added a large piece of patterned paper for the main background,

leaving a small frame of the black cardstock around the edges.

The patterned paper was the perfect colour for the photos

and also a great mixed media finish to it.

I have hand cut some pieces from other patterned papers

and used lots of pieces from the embellishment pack and stickers.

I've used foam tape to create layers and depth in the clusters.

The 2 Crafty Hand Drawn Stars have been covered with gold ink.

I have doodled a circle with a black gel pen around the photo

and used it as a journal space.

The photos have been given a black cardstock base

to pop of the page and then lifted with foam tape.

The chipboard elements and stars from the collection were a great addition to the page.

The 2 Crafty title Sweet Cheeks has been covered with Charcoal ink

and then I have highlighted the edges with a gold pen.

That wraps up my page for this week.

Thank you for visiting today.

Now by this time next week, Christmas will be done and dusted,

I hope you have a fabulous time with family and friends.

Please join us again on Monday for Fiona's next page.
