Art Journalling - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I have some Art Journal pages to share with you and a little step-by-step, made using lots of goodies from Scrapping Clearly. 

I'm part of one of the "Circle Journal" groups organised by Scrapping Clearly where we have all made a journal out of brown paper bags (yes! can you believe it!!). We have decorated the cover and a page inside then we send it on to other members of the group. In 12 months time it will make its way home to me with pages decorated by all the other lovely people in the group - how fun!!! 

I thought I would share how I made one of the pages in one of the circle journals.

In the first pic you can see the blank paper bag pages. I've put a sheet of copy paper under each page to minimise transferring of paint to other pages in the journal. I've laid out the Dylusions paints I wanted to use (fresh lime, cut grass and calypso teal). I've used a Ranger mini-ink blending tool to apply each of the paint layers. I use the blending tool to take some of the paint off the lid and apply it to my craft mat - this allows for a more even coverage of paint.

In the next photo I've applied fresh lime paint over all of my pages. I use a circular motion to apply using the foam blending tool.  

 

I use a similar technique to apply the green and blue paints randomly across my pages. 

Next I use 2 different stencils and apply the lime and green paints through the stencils across the pages. 

 

Next I applied texture paste through a stencil. Then I added some background stamps over my page and a Darkroom Door "Leafy Lady" feature stamp. I added some black gelato around the edges of my pages and rubbed them in with my finger.

 

Here are my completed pages.

I printed out a quote onto some copy paper, cut it out and stuck on my page.

I added some glitter glue accents on my "leafy lady".

Project Life Week 20 and 21 - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I'm showing you Week 20 and 21 for my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album.

I've used the Simple Stories "Life in Color" collection  (collection kit, bits and pieces, clear stickers, washi tape, enamel dots)  available in the  Scrapping Clearly Store.

Here is a close up of the LHS. I've included some photos of scrapbooking happy mail and some tickets from a musical we attended. 

A card cut from patterned paper can easily be transformed with some stickers and enamel dots - these stickers were in the collection pack (12 sheets of paper and 2 pages of stickers) 

I like to cut out all of the cards from the 12x12 pages - some are used for PL pages and others are used for elements on my scrapbook pages. I've added a paper strip, some diecuts and enamel dots to this card.

Here is a close up of the RHS. The photos are of Rachael and Jessica posing for a project of Rachael's. 

I love the stickers, diecuts, paper strips and enamel dots in this collection - so many possibilities! 

I journalled my activities for the week on diecuts from the pack.

Project Life Week 22 and 23 - With Scrapping Clearly!

Today I'm showing you Week 22 and 23 for my "Schultz Family 2016" Project Life Album.

I've used the Simple Stories "Life in Color" collection  (collection kit, bits and pieces, clear stickers, washi tape, enamel dots)  available in the  Scrapping Clearly Store.

I really love love love this collection!! If you are behind with your Project Life or struggle to keep motivated I'd thoroughly recommend using one of these Simple Stories Collections. Their 12x12 papers have lots of PL shaped cards and all of the embellishments are awesome!!

Here is a close up of the LHS. 

I cut this card from one of the 12x12 pages then added a few extra stickers.  

The camera card was also cut from one of the pages - this one needed no further embellishment. Some strips of paper a die cut and enamel dots were added to my weekly card. I always love using one of my many roller date stamps for the dates.

Here is a close up of the RHS. 

I keep all of my movie tickets for my PL, its a great way to remember what movies you have seen! 

More stickers, washi tape and enamel dots on these cards!
