It's A Girl Thing - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty in particular the Untangle Collection designed by Tanya Froud. 
 
Recently I've been enjoying creating with some of the older collections and for this page I was inspired by the amazing "Making Your Mark" stamp set. I loved this collection so much I went back and bought all the other stamps, stencils and metal dies :)
 
  
I'm playing along with the December creative challenge "All Things Girl or Boy". We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Bee Arty store voucher. You have until December 31 and you need to upload your challenge here.  
 

 I have 2 daughters so I focussed on the "Girl Thing". I have a Silhouette Cameo that I dont often use so I thought I would get back to using it and create a simple title for my page. I thought about where I wanted the title to go and I wrote up the text in the software and cut it out on a sheet of heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock. I then backed the words with the Tangled paper from the Untangle Collection.

 
Next I stamped around the edge of the paper using a stamp from the  "Making Your Mark" stamp set

  
 Then I painted around the edge using Lillipop and Sunflower shimmer dusts.   
 

Here is my completed page. I used 4 different photos of my girls and I shopping and enjoying cocktails.
 
 
 I fussy-cut some flowers from the Embrace paper to add to the page. I also added some sweet floral diecuts and words cut from the Mantras paper. These black words are quick and easy to add to any project! A few wood veneer embellishments were a final addition to the page.

Today, Love, Star - With Scrapping Clearly!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly
 
  
 My background paper is a sheet of Vicki Boutin Lets Wander Collection "Around Here" paper. My photos are all 5cm x 5cm printed with a white border. I've also cut out the polariods from the "Picture Perfect" paper and used these as elements on the page and as photo mats. Lastly I fussy cut a number of flowers from the "Sunshine and smiles" paper to use on the page.
 
 
 Here are some close-up photos of the page. I've also added some mini white paper doilies, Heidi Swapp acetate words and Heidi Swapp chipboard words.

Castle Dark - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have 3 projects to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty in particular the new Castle Dark mini paper Collection designed by the talented Sue Smyth.
 
 
 For this first scrapbook page I created a background on heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock.  I started by doing some stencilling using the Devotion Stencil and Olive Grove Mica Powder mixed with texture paste. 
 
 
Once this had dried I painted and splattered Olive Grove Mica Powder mixed with water. 


 Here are some close ups of my finished page. All papers and images are from the Castle Dark mini paper Collection. I love these fussy cut flowers - aren't they so pretty. I've used the soft feminine images and patterns from the collection to create this page.




 
 For the next page I've chosen mainly the red images from the Castle Dark collection. These red flowers reminded me of Christmas so I created a Christmas themed page.
 
 
    I created a background once again on heavy duty 350gsm white cardstock.  I started by doing some stencilling using the Dusk Stencil and Watermelon Mica Powder mixed with texture paste. Once this had dried I painted and splattered Watermelon Mica Powder mixed with water.


 Here are some close-ups. I've used a white paper doilie to soften the background. Once again all papers and images are from the Castle Dark mini paper collection. 
 



 
  My third and final project for today is 2 art journal pages.
 
  
I started by painting and splattering Olive Grove Mica Powder mixed with water across both pages. Then I added some stencilling using the Cathedral Stencil and Olive Grove Mica Powder mixed with texture paste. 

  
 Next I added stamping using the Vamp stamp set.
 

Here is the first of my finished art journal pages. All papers and images are from the Castle Dark mini paper Collection. I finished the page with some splatters of Dusty Charcoal Mica Powder mixed with water.
 

 
Here is the last of my finished art journal pages. Once again all papers and images are from the Castle Dark mini paper Collection and I finished the page with some splatters of Dusty Charcoal Mica Powder mixed with water.

 Hi Lovelies!
