Cybercrop Challenges - With Scrapping Clearly!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a mini tag album page that I created for the Australia Day Cybercrop using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly
 
   
 I used the Heidi Swapp mini tag album for this project. This album has lots of fun tags and pockets to use.
 

 The first challenge was "What's your state". South Australia had red, blue and yellow as the colours. I changed this up a bit and used DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt to paint a Heidi Swapp frame embellishment.

   
 I then used a sharpie to colour some Heidi Swapp ghost alphas.
 
  
I wanted to do some gel printing so I used a small round Gel Press and painted (with my fingers) DWM acrylic paints in Sedona, Marine and Gilt. I did a facebook live on the day showing how I did the Gel Printing and a flip through of my mini album, you can see that here.

  
 Then I applied the gel press to one of the tags in the mini album. I also did more of this on smooth lightweight white cardstock.
 
 
 Here is the first of my finished pages/tags for the first challenge. I love how it turned out. I also added stamping and stencilling, and cut out some shapes from old book paper. Lastly I added splatters of DWM gloss sprays in Marine and Gilt.
 
 
 The mini tag album had blue/grey colours, so I also did some gel printing to coordinate using DWM acrylic paints in white, peacock, turquoise, and marine with pops of magenta, lemon and lime.
 
 
 How cool are all these prints! I also used a small square Gel Press as well as the small circle.
 
 
 
 These next pages/tags are for Challenge 2 "Dreamtime" where I used lots of dot inspired stamps and stencils.
 
 
 Challenge 3 "Bucket List"
 
 
 Challenge 4 "My Backyard" 
 
 
  Challenge 5 "My Favourite Place"
 

 Challenge 6 "My Hometown"

   
I hope you were able to find time to create for the Cybercrop, I had a lot of fun creating in this mini tag album.

 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Enjoy - With Scrapping Clearly!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly
 
  
  In my latest DT kit I received this Heidi Swapp Stationary pack. It contains lots of fun tags, stickers, alphas etc. I used this pack, and its colour scheme, as inspiration for my page.
 
  
I started by sewing a rectangle on heavy weight white cardstock that I had cut down do 11" x 11". I later attach this cardstock to a sheet of Vicki Boutin Storyteller Narrative paper
 
 
 I gathered my other supplies to use on the page, this included Heidi Swapp Color Shine and Scrap FX cardstock embellishments.  
 
 
 On the white cardstock I used the Heidi Swapp Color Shine (navy, patina and citron) to create a background (painting with plastic and splatters).
 

 Here is my final assembled page.
 
 
Underneath my photo I layered tags from the Heidi Swapp Stationary pack and fussy cut embellishments from "Bold Blooms"  and "Flowery Bits" from Scrap FX

 
 The glitter alphas are from the Heidi Swapp Stationary pack.
 
 
 The enamel arrows and stars are from the Heidi Swapp Stationary pack.  The title is from Heidi Swapp chipboard word stickers
 

 
 Thanks so much for stopping by!

Our Favourite Place To Be - With Bee Arty!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using the Grateful Heart Collection from Bee Arty
 
    
 I started with a sheet of Love paper (reverse) and added some stamping using the script stamp from the Bokeh stamp set.
 
  
 Next I mixed a blend of Lovely Lilac and Steel Colour Shimmer Dust to heavy gloss gel, then applied through the Starry Night stencil.
 
 
Then I used the flourish stamp from the Heartfelt stamp set around the edge of the page.
 
  
 Here is my finished page.
 
  
 I've used 3 photos. 2 were 7cmx10cm and the other was 10cmx14cm. 2 pf the photos were matted on Together paper (reverse). I've added some diecuts using the String leaves metal dies and white cardstock.
 
 
 The words are cut from the Blessed phrase paper. I've also added some burlap, gauze, glass beads and metal embellishments from my stash.
 

Thanks so much for stopping by

Love - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!

I'm playing along with the January moodboard challenge. We would love for you to join in with this challenge and be in the running to win a Scrapping Clearly store voucher. You have until January 31 and you need to upload your challenge here.
 
 I started by creating my background on heavy weight white cardstock. I used Prima watercolour confections - Pastel Dreams to do this and used a painting with plastic technique.

 Next I mixed some Heidi Swapp Rose/Pink ColorShine with heavy gloss gel and applied through a stencil across my background to add more interest and depth.
 
 
 Next I added some background stamping.
 
 
 Here is my finished page.
 
 
 Underneath my photo I added some fussy cut "Bold Blooms" from Scrap FX. I also added some die cuts from my stash.

 
 
 
 The title is a Heidi Swapp acetate word.
 
 
 Lastly I drew around the edge of my page with a Fude Ball pen and added some journalling and date stamp.

Family Gathering - With Scrapping Clearly!

  Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a scrapbook page that I created using lots of fun products available at Scrapping Clearly!
 
 
 I started by creating my background on heavy weight white cardstock. I used Prima watercolour confections - the Classics to do this and used a painting with plastic technique. I was so keen to complete the page that I forgot to take a photo of the background.
 
I wanted to create this page using the Vicki Boutin Lets Wander Collection so it would coordinate with a previous page I created. I used the barcode strip from the "Around Here" paper, a polariod cut from the "Picture Perfect" paper and fussy cut flowers from the "Sunshine and smiles" paper.

 
 Here are some close-ups of my completed page. I just love the fussy cut flowers - what a great way to create your own diecuts. I've also added a white paper doilie, metal embellishments, wood veneer, and some burlap.
 
 
 Lastly I've added a title from the Pebbles gold glitter Thickers phrase pack

 
 Thanks so much for stopping by!
