You Inspire Me - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you - made with lots of fabulous chipboard embellishments from Imaginarium Design.

This layout is the pair of a previous page I shared with you. It is inspired by Project Life Pages using 3"x3" pockets. For this page I've used a series of photos of Rachael having fun while I was taking lots of photos of her :)

I've used some patterned papers from Studio Calico - these are some of my favourite! Each square is cut 7cm x 7xm and the photos are 5cm x 5cm. I've left all my chipboard elements raw. I've used a range of chipboard words underneath the photos and modern chipboard shapes.

This title is one of my favourites - Rachael definitely does inspire me with her passion and love of life.

I've used a circle frame around the "main" photo on the page - to draw the viewer here.

Some Birthday Cards - with Scraping Clearly!

Today I have a set of birthday cards I made featuring lots of Minc mixed media goodness and items from the Pebbles "Spring Fling" paper and sticker collection - All available at Scrapping Clearly.

When I was making some Minc Mixed media cards for my project life pages recently the thought occurred to me that I could use similar concepts for cards - so that was the inspiration behind these cards.

On this first card I've added splatters of the Minc reactive mist as well as swiping some reactive screen ink across the card with an old itunes card. After waiting for it to dry properly I put it through my mini Minc with some gold foil. I finished the card by adding a Happy Birthday sticker from the Pebbles "Spring Fling" stickers pack and some flowers from my stash. I matted the foiled card over some kraft patterned paper from the Pebbles "Spring Fling" paper collection .

For the second card I've added splatters of the Minc reactive mist as well as painting some reactive screen ink across the card. After waiting for it to dry properly I put it through my mini Minc with some gold foil. I finished the card by adding a Happy Birthday sticker from the Pebbles "Spring Fling" stickers pack and a flower from my stash. I matted the foiled card over some kraft patterned paper from the Pebbles "Spring Fling" paper collection .

For the last card I've used the Minc reactive screen ink through a stencil as well as painting some reactive screen ink across the card. After waiting for it to dry properly I put it through my mini Minc with some gold foil. I finished the card by adding a Happy Birthday sticker from the Pebbles "Spring Fling" stickers pack and some flowers. I matted the foiled card over some kraft patterned paper from the Pebbles "Spring Fling" paper collection .

I Smile Because Of You - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you - made with lots of fabulous chipboard embellishments from Imaginarium Design.

The layout of my page is inspired by Project Life Pages using 3"x3" pockets. This is a fabulous style for PL which allows for lots of little photographs. For this page I've used a series of photos of Jessica concentrating while drawing :)

I've used some recent patterned papers from Studio Calico - aren't these designs so fun and fresh! Each square is cut 7cm x 7xm and the photos are 5cm x 5cm. I've left all my chipboard elements raw - fitting with the fresh look of the papers.
