Adventure - With Jillibean Soup!

 Hi Lovelies!!

This month I'm a Guest Designer over at Jillibean Soup!! So Exciting!!

I've created a range of projects using the the Bohemian Brew collection. Todays project is a Scrapbook page - "Adventure". I love the fun and bright colours and retro designs of the Bohemian Brew collection - perfect for documenting family life such as this photo of me bike riding.

For this scrapbook page I've started with a piece of 12x12 white cardstock and used a "painting with plastic" technique to create a watercolor background using watercolor pan paints. 

I used the flower from the stamp set and a "2-tone stamping" technique to stamp some yellow/orange flower images (see stamping image) which were then fussy cut. I also stamped other images in different coordinating colours then fussy-cut them out.

When dry I adhered a 4" strip of Bohemian Brew "Peace" patterned paper and a ½" strip of "Content" to the top of the painted background. And another ½"strip of "content" to the bottom of the page.

My photo is 3x4 including a white border. I also cut out 2 cards from the "Bite size bits" paper that were the same size.

Above my photo I've clustered a stamped image, diecuts, word stickers and adhesive sequins - I love the combination of different elements.

On the bottom left of my photo/card row I've included a similar cluster, this time using the 2-toned stamped flower image. This is a fun technique to use on word stamps too.

Under the photo I have added a variety of word diecuts and stickers - I love using a variety of shapes, colours  and fonts.

Lastly in the bottom right of the page I added more diecuts, adhesive backed sequins, and tiny word stickers.

Hello You - With Jillibean Soup!

Hi Lovelies!!

This month I'm a Guest Designer over at Jillibean Soup!! So Exciting!!

I've created a range of projects using the the Bohemian Brew collection. The first being a Scrapbook page - "Hello You". I love the fun and bright colours and floral designs of the Bohemian Brew collection - perfect for documenting this photo of our family holidaying in Hawaii.

For this scrapbook page I've started with a piece of white cardstock trimmed to 11¼ x 11¼ and used a "painting with plastic" technique to create a watercolor background using watercolor pan paints.

When dry I adhered the painted background to a sheet of Bohemian Brew "Calm" 12x12 patterned paper.

I used the stamp set and a "markers direct to stamp" technique to stamp some of the flower buds/leaves in coordinating colours.

    

I also stamped all of the images in different coordinating colours then fussy-cut them out. I do this so I have a variety of images in different colours that I can place on my page as I'm designing my layout. 

My photo is 3¾x4¾ (I print all my photos at home on an Epson XP-600, I import my pictures into MS Word where I resize them then print an A4 sheet at a time, I always leave space so i can cut them with a white border).

I have matted my photo with "Love" and "Peace" patterned paper and attached it to the bottom right of my page.

 

Next I added 3 of the big and fabulous "felt flowers" around the photo then added diecuts and stamped images around the flowers and in the top left of the page.

Lastly I added some adhesive backed sequins (they are so convenient and easy to use with the sticky back!!), word stickers, handwritten journalling and a date stamp.

My Travelers Notebook - With Scrapping Clearly!

Hi Lovelies!!

Today I have some pages in my Travelers Notebook to share with you made using the Fancy Pants Designs "Hello Sunshine" Collection available in the Scrapping Clearly Store.

I started with my Websters Pages Color Crush Travellers Notebook Inserts that I keep in my Jane Devenport Butterfly effect book/TN cover . 

I added by adding some offcuts of paper from the Fancy Pants Designs "Hello Sunshine" Collection kit. This kit contains 2 each of 6 designs of 12x12 double sided patterned paper, an Ephemera pack and a Tags and Labels pack - and it is such fun and bright colours and pattern. 

Next I painted a "Pineapple crown" on my page with Prima Watercolor confections.

I added some ephemera and tags from the kit. I stamped the date on a Heidi Swapp foil label, then I added some stamped phases from the American Crafts Memory Planner clear stamp set.  

This next page uses more papers and ephemera from the Fancy Pants Designs "Hello Sunshine" Collection kit. I stamped the date on a Heidi Swapp foil label, then I added a repeated stamped phase from the American Crafts Memory Planner clear stamp set, and some handwritten journalling. 

Isn't this flamingo adorable!

This month I decided to make all my projects in keeping with this colour theme.Todays projects are cards - one for the girls and one for the boys!

This first card is for the girls! I started with a 6x6 cards blank and added a square of patterned paper from the Paper House Productions "ColorWays Noir collection". I tore it in a few placed then backed the torn sections with some lace and more paper. I coloured my chipboard firstly with a black marker then added a coat of glossy accents. Lastly I added some flowers and rhinestones.

The next first card is for the boys! I started with a 6x6 cards blank and added a square of patterned paper from the Paper House Productions "ColorWays Noir collection".   

Then on some white cardstock I swiped black Dylusions paint across in places. Then I added stamping using stamps from the AALL & CREATE #10 stamp set. 

I added the chipboard - leaving it raw so it would stand out on the card. Lastly I added some splatters of dark grey paint and a paperclip.

Imaginarium Designs chipboard I've used includes
