Family

Hi everyone, today I'd like to share with you my latest creation for  Couture Creations....
"Family"
I love this pic of my niece sitting on Uncle Bill's knee.... such intense looks as they were discussing the icy pole she was enjoying...

 for this layout I began by stencilling some pink modelling paste onto white cardstock...

Next I die cut some white cardstock....

 I chose to cut up one of the Damask frame die cuts...

I also chose to use some of the packaging for my photo backing... the Magnolia lane packaging is so pretty...

 I ran another piece of white cardstock through the Typography embossing folder and then added some Twinkling H2O's for colour...


I coloured up some of the Couture Creations bulk white flowers, with Twinkling H2O's...
and then I put it all together.... a couple of close ups...
I adhered the corners from the die cut to the bottom of the page...


I layered up the embossed piece, the packaging, and diecuts under the photo with some gauze...

I added a title the flowers and some 2mm gems and gemstones...

another close up...

and finally one last look at the whole layout...

Cutie and some Journal fun....

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here...
Today I am sharing my latest work for Scrap FX... First up I have a layout...

"Cutie"
These are a couple of pics of my gorgeous niece "Chelsea".... showing me her gorgeous smile while munching on a biscuit.... she's so cute...


I used the Flowing Nouveau new flourish for this layout and cut it into two pieces.... and I embossed these with chunky black embossing powder...
Here I placed the second half of the Flowing Nouveau flourish... Isn't that just an adorable face, mushed biscuit and all...lol..

For my title I used the Art Deco Alphabet.... such a fun alphabet set... 


and lastly, for my background, I used the Art Deco Stencil, with some modelling paste I coloured to match my pics...

Next up I have an art journal page to share...
"no beauty shines brighter than that of a good heart"
I applied tons of layers to create this journal page.... it was so much fun..

I used the Flapper Girl stencil  with some graphite paste.... along with the Art Deco Stencil which I used in several layers of ink, paint and then embossed with clear embossing powder...

I also used the Words of Wisdom Stencil with some modelling paste over the Art Deco Stencil ....

and last but not least I used the Hexagon Pattern Stencil with some paint....

one last look at the full projects...

Good Times

Hi everyone, thanks for joining me here...
Today I am sharing my latest work for Scrap FX...

"Good Times"

This is a series of pics of my niece Tilly, having loads of fun with the sprinkler and sand in her back yard....

I began by using the Flapper Girl stencil (the hair only) to apply my coloured modelling paste... and then I added some random stamping...

I used the new Organic Embellishment and covered it with white embossing powder...

I added a small Scribble Circle over the first photo that I had again coated with white embossing powder... I then cut down the mini title Let the Good Times Roll and again coated it with white embossing powder.... and finally I mounted it over the scribble circle...

I also used a strip from the Filmstrip transparency... 
I finished off the layout with some tags, doily, gauze, flowers, prills and butterflies...

one last look at the full layout...
