Today
I'm showing you Week 12 for my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album. I've mainly used the Heidi Swapp "Sparkle" project life kit which is available at Scrapping Clearly. I love using kits - they provide a variety of coordinated cards and embellishments which can quickly be incorporated into a variety of layouts.
I start by laying items from the kit onto my workspace along with my photos for the week. I also added a selection of coordinating sequins from my stash.
I decided to "fuse" the sequins into part of the pocket, as is shown here. The Fuse tool is perfect for customising your pocket pages. I use it to alter pages to styles I use more regularly, or to add sequins or other embellishments permanently into the page. It is important to let the tool warm up for at least 10-15 mins before use and I move the tool very slowly across the sheet (usually 2 times). Then check to see if it has properly stuck and if not re-do it.
Here is my finished pages. The weather has been aweful here lately and opportunities to take photos in good light is rare - so sorry for the quality.
Here is a close up of the LHS. This week we got 2 new furry members for our family - Coco and Hugo.
You could leave the cards as is or add some extra embellishments as I have done here.
Here is a close up of the RHS. I've included some photos of Easter.
The colours in this card are some of my favourites and I love the extra glitter sparkle!
Wood veneer are also a favourite quick embellishment for my pages.

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.
This layout was made in celebration of my parents 50th wedding anniversary. I've chosen a gold theme because that is the traditional gift for 50 years!! I've included photos from their wedding day as well as a photo taken on their wedding anniversary.
I started by using a stencil and gold texture paste (Heidi Swapp) onto some white cardstock then let this dry overnight. Then I layered lots of different velum patterned with gold as a mat for my photos.
I sprayed my chipboard with Heidi Swapp gold ColorShine.
Finally I added some white flowers - simple yet elegant!

Today I have some cards to share with you made using lots of mixed media goodness and gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.
I was inspired by the backgrounds made by the lovely Kate Crane aka "The Kathryn Wheel". I was inspired to make a card because it was Rachael's birthday the next day :)
I started by painting on some paints onto my card fronts - being careful to keep each colour separate. I let it dry then repeated 2 more times (for depth and interest).
Then I used some different background stamps and stamped over the yellow paint with yellow ink and the teal paint with teal ink. Then I used different sized bottle caps and stamped (using white and black paint) randomly across the card. When it was dry I added some squirts of black paint then left to dry completely (took about an hour).
Then I got my chipboard and painted parts and left others raw.
Here is the finished product. This first card is the one I gave Rachael for her birthday.
This next card is a more masculine variation.

Today I have a scrapbook page of my 2 girls made using the Pebbles "Spring Fling" paper and sticker collection - All available at Scrapping Clearly.
The layout of my page is inspired by Project Life Pages using 3"x3" pockets. I've made a few pages like this and love them. It is a great way to use lots of little photographs.
Each patterned paper square is cut 7cm x 7xm and the photos are 5cm x 5cm (cut leaving a white border). I've decorated the squares with elements cut from the patterned papers and stickers.
A few wood veneer or enamel dots are perfect finishing touches.
I've used some fabulous large gold thickers for the title.
