WHITE WITH 1

One of my old DT challenge groups held a Cyber Crop over the weekend.. I thought I'd join in, as I love the EARTH theme.

My challenge 1 entry - I have been wanting to use this paint technique for quite a while now when I saw it used as a rainbow. So thought, what better chance than now with some beautiful Burnt Sienna & Raw Sienna for this Earth Brown base.

I started the layout with a white cardstock base, then added the paint with dots in the middle of the page. Then with foam brushes I simply spread the paint from the inside out. Leaving gaps for the white to peek through between each paint stripe. 

Once the paint was dry, I added some white spray mist generously over the top. 

The TIP is for the paint to be dry first!!! 

You may wonder what the photo has to do with criteria 2 - exploring the outdoors, here we are in Sapphire at the Gem Fields (outback central Qld). Hunter is actually sitting on a mound of waste dirt that had been sifted through to find precious Gems.

It was an incredible experience and lucky to capture so many feature photos while we were on holidays there.

I have truly been absolutely BLOWN AWAY by the amazing positive feedback I have received from sharing this layout.. It was made back in March and it has been ongoing and such lovely comments.. 

I have been so impressed with all of the SCRAPLIFT pages that others have done based on my layout.. It's very cool.. :)

St Pat’s Day 2022 - How to Scraplift & add Fake layers

 Another fun layout to share with you featuring some St Pat's Day celebration.. 

This one is the second layout I made last week using the Lucky Charm collection by PhotoPlay. 

HOW TO SCRAPLIFT & ADD FAKE LAYERS - YOU TUBE VIDEO

This layout was all about scraplifting another layout I had designed and adding some fake layers using the adorable Lucky Charm collection.. 

I started off with a paint technique on the base with green and then added some orange spray mist over that once dried. 

Then it was into the scraps and tearing leftovers to design the layers under the photo mat. 

Please check the video for step by step..

Dude

Dude, check this out! How cool is this plain and simple colour combo.. It's as old as time.. I love working with Black and White! 
Realistically, I could have made 10 layouts for this months challenge theme.. 

I had so many ideas, but this was the one that stuck out and I seemed to really be set on. 

Although I was a bit messy and heavy handed in some black blending spots, I think it falls in line with the elements of a boy page anyway.. There are no rules and if it's a big grungy or messy, then that's totally ok! :) 

There are so many layers and frames to this I couldn't even count.. Black on white, on white, on black, on pattern, on white, on black on white.. hahahaha.. 

I used a star stencil and black ink to create the patterns.. 

The photo is of my son Hunter a couple years ago preforming a hip-hop dance at his end of year performance event..

This was definitely one of the most fun flat mixed media bases I've done in a long time.. 

Using a simple ink pad and stencil I added the leaf pattern with a blending brush.. 
Then some splat stamping, mixed line stamps and some flicking of paint. 

Still another quick layout, that features the focus on the photo so perfectly that even I have surprised myself at how much I truly love it!!

I title words I wanted to be the second feature but still blend in to a degree. 

Using some tall but thin Thickers letters made this work so well..

I have some very exciting news to share.. 
Thanks to the amazing Alicia Redshaw at Scrapbook Fantasies, my imagination for this project came to life with this special custom made BOW CRAZY pack.. You can follow the link to check them out and grab yourself a pack too!! There are 11 pre cut bows from a 12x12 sheet.. The price is very budget friendly too!! - GET BOW CRAZY HERE - 

During a recent instore 3 day retreat young Amelia and I decided we were TEAM NAP and to lay on the floor for a little break.. Although no eyes were shut during our break, there were plenty of giggles and definitely felt recharge afterwards.. 

Using an Ultramarine ink pad I started off by sploshing the background so that it would feature the bow.. 

Then with more white paper I drew the lines and dots on some scrap and then stuck to the top of the bow.. I love that the design elements on this page I handmade especially for it. 

Adding some simple embellishments from a Uniquely Creative pack finished the page off well.. 

Bow Crazy - available from Scrapbook Fantasies in store and online.

Two easy scrapbook layouts - Plant Lady - Twitchit craft kits

  Easy Plant lady layouts– made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Plant Lady Kit 

**view youtube video here**

Layout 1- 

With a plain 12”x12” white cardstock base, use a blending brush with your coordinating ink and the stencil in the kit to add a fun diagonal pattern. Once you are happy with your design, remove the stencil and continue extra free style blending in the two corners.
Add two 4”x6” photos and then find some fun quotes and frames to cluster around your photos from the Window Blooms and Buy The Plants pattern papers. *tip- to give your layout dimension, layer your fussy cuts using foam tape. 

Layout 2 - 

With a plain 12”x12” white cardstock base, use the “sploshing” technique on your background – stamp an ink pad onto a piece of plastic, sprintz some water and swirl around so there are no solid lines / edges. Then drip the colour and splosh this onto your cardstock. Let dry or dab up the access with some tissue.
Hanging Plants 6”x12” + Cacti 2”x12” + Green Thumb 1.1/2”x8”
Place the red paper 2” down from the top of the layout and then the black cross paper just under it. The blue strip paper will meet the left edge flush and go across on top of the pattern papers join. Using two of the 3x4 journal cards and a 4x4 journal card, create your eye catching design element on the right side of the layout. A 5”x7” photo will feature perfectly in the middle of the layout. I used a circle punch to cut out the “always choose kindness” journal card and finished off the page with a flower from my stash.

Pot People layout - Plant Lady - Twitchit craft kits

 Pot People layout – made by Toni Herron for Twitchit Craft Kits

Plady Lady Kit 

This beautiful and fun layout took less than 30min to complete! Perfect for a beginner scrapper or a back to basics style for the more advanced scrapper. There is a video available if you wish to create along.

Starting with 12”x12” white cardstock, I used the “sploshing” technique on the background - stamp an ink pad onto a piece of plastic, sprintz some water and swirl around so there are no solid lines / edges. Then drip the colour and splosh this onto your cardstock. Distress and ink all edges of paper on this layout.

Window Blooms 3.1/2”x9.1/2” + Buy The Plants 3.1/2”x9.1/2” + Cacti 3.1/2”x9.1/2”
Stick down the three pattern paper with a mismatch height on your layout. This creates a fun element that will catch the eye over the layout.

 Using two 4”x6” photos, place them mismatch height side by side also.  In the space at the top right, add a 3x4 journal tag. Then in the space at the bottom left, I used a piece of Green Thumb 3x4 and then added a tag with scraps of the same paper.
Finish off the layout with some twine on the tag and flowers to create mini clusters.
