Christmas 2022 - With Bee Arty!

 Hi Lovelies!

Today I have a Christmas Album to share with you made using lots of fabulous arty products from Bee Arty.  

 This year I really wanted to create an album celebrating Christmas. I wanted to do a pocket page scrapbook album and I wanted to complete it in a timely manner. December is always so busy and I really wanted to be able to spend 30mins crafting a day. It didn't quite turn out that way, but I did finish it by 5th January (winning!). 

 

To make it achievable I chose a smaller album - this is approx 8" x10". I took 1 photo a day using my Instax camera (instant photo printing). And lastly, I limited my craft supplies!

 

I used 2 mini paper collections released by Bee Arty in 2021 Home For Christmas and Nutcracker Sweet. Each collection is 5 pages (double sided) with 2 pages used for tags/fussy cutting and the rest for the pocket pages. I used the Numbers die set from the Fireworks collection, Aussie leaves metal die set and Aussie Flowers metal die set from the Aussie Bushland collection. Also the Wildlife Stamp set. For painty colours I used Colour Shimmer Dust (Fern, Tan, Wine, Midnight and Candy) and Colour Mica Powder in Emerald. I used White, Black, Silver and Kraft Cardstock.

 

I finished my pages with gauze, hessian, tags, envelopes, black paint pens and a black archival inkpad. 

 

 Here are some pics of the pages.

Pocket Page Scrapbooking - With Imaginarium Designs!

Today I'm sharing some pocket page scrapbooking (Week 28 part 2 for my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album) made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard. This was a recent class I taught at Seriously Scrapbooking. The photos were from a family holiday last year to the Gold Coast - I'm still trying to catch up on my PL from way back then!!

Here is a close up of the LHS. I've used the Echo Park "Just Be You" paper collection and hearts stencil. I love using the journalling cards 12x12 papers from any collection - they give you lots of options for PL cards or can be fussy cut and used as embellishments. 

For this card I've used my Prima Watercolor confections (Tropicals) to paint the background. Then I've used a navy ink and the geometric hearts stencil. Then I've fussy cut clouds and hot air balloons from the patterned paper and attached to the card. I've painted all of my chipboard a navy blue - keeping it all the same colour unifies the page.

Here is a close up of the RHS. I've added a selection of fussy cut elements and painted chipboard clusters to cards on this page. I mixed some of the paint (pink, yellow, green, blue) separately with texture paste then swiped it across the stencil giving a rainbow effect on one of the cards 

For this card I added some paint splatters, a strip of patterned paper, fussy cut hot air balloons and a painted chipboard word element.
