Your Time To Shine - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing a scrapbook page made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

I started by using white cardstock and added strips of Bella Blvd Illustrated Faith Bright and Brave papers to the top and bottom of the page. Then I matted my photos with more papers and added them to the page.

Next I added clusters of chipboard, flowers and flair. All of the chipboard has been painted with watercolour pan paints in a teal colour.

I also added some handwritten journalling and a roller date stamp. Lastly I added splatters of teal and black Heidi Swapp Color Shine across my page.

Isn't this flourish chipboard goegeous! Its new and I can see myself needing more of them :)

Unforgettable - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made with papers from the Bella Bllvd Illustrated Faith Bright and Brave collection and Heidi Swapp Embellishments - all available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I started with a sheet of Jesus is my Jam paper (music notes) and I used a painting with plastic technique to apply watercolours across the page. I chose yellow, orange and pink colours to go with the sunrise in my photo.

I then selected a heap of flower shapes and a title from the Heidi Swapp September skies color magic die cut pkt and painted then the same colours as my background. This is a great way to use lots of the die cuts in a pack - often I seem to try and save them lol.

Next I added some puffy stickers .

Finally I added some Tim Holtz word stickers These stickers are my absolute fav!!

Hello Honey - With Imaginarium Designs!

The March Colour of the month at Imaginarium Designs chipboard is "TEAL" - my most favourite colour!!! We would love for you to join in the challenge and create a teal project then send a photo to Jane at sales@imaginariumdesigns.net.au (before 23rd March) and you will be in the running to win a fabulous chipboard prize pack!!

I've created a scrapbook page for this challenge using a sequence of photos of Jessica eating Honey. Jessica loves eating with her hands - and honey is no exception lol. Even at 10 she prefers to use her hands rather than a spoon of fork!!

I started by using white cardstock and used a painting with plastic technique to create the background. I used a dye ink pad and smooshed it on the plastic then added some water with a paintbrush, then smooshed across the page. I repeated this until I was happy with the background.

Then added splatters of the ink (smoosh the ink pad onto my craft mat, add water then pick up with a paintbrush and splatter)

Lastly on my background I added ink with a sponge through the new "heart" Imaginarium Designs stencil.

Next it was time to put my page together. I placed a strip of teal muslin across my page then attached the 4 photos in a line. Next I added all of the chipboard embellishments. They were all inked with the teal inkpad, some completely and others just on the edges. I love the ombre look of natural chipboard with coloured tips.

I also added some paper flowers, tags, enamel dots and a flair.

Joy To The World - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I have a Christmas scrapbook page to share made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard and following the Imaginarium Designs February theme of the colour RED.

I find that Christmas is such a busy time that although I take lots of photos I dont get much time to scrap them. So this is better late than never - note that the photo was taken in December 2015 lol!

I started by using white cardstock and one of my favourite TCW stencils (12x12 Tile mania) and some "lipstick" Colour Blast paste, then adding splatters of Luminarte Primary Elements in poppy red.

When this had dried I cut it down and backed it with some red patterned paper from Pink Fresh Studio "Escape the ordinary" collection.

I matted my photos with white paper doilies and attached them to the page as shown.

All of the chipboard was painted with the Poppy Red Luminarte Primary Elements. I often prefer to paint it on rather than spray as there is less mess and wastage.
