Family Scrapbook Layout

Hi Crafters

Today I have a scrapbook layout to share with you all, thus is one of many new layouts I have to share :)

This layout was done following a scrapbook sketch as I was struggling with my mojo at the time and now and then I like to use them for inspiration and to help get my juices flowing.

Here is the layout

This is a 12 x 12 layout and instead of using a full patterened papers my background I decided to go with plain white. The photo is of me with my Dad and two of my brothers.

The papers I used on this layout are from Dovecraft Folkland, and G45 - Midnight Masquerade, I have also used some Tissue Paper behind my photo, a frame from the Folkland collection, flowers, flair from The Scrap Lab which reads Love and at the bottom of the layout my title was done using Thickers.

Here is the sketch I used is from Sketch Savvy - Sketch #125

I hope you lie what I have done on this layout and the sketch gives you some inspiration

August Motivation Inspiration

Hi all

Well I can not believe we are in August already which mans it is time for me to share my DT inspiration with you all for this months Motivation Inspiration challenge.

This months 5 prompts which we have to include are as follows:

Bronze 

Floral

Fairytale

Spring

No Title

You can create what ever you like as long as the above prompts are included.... This month I have done another scrapbook layout and here it is

This layout is a very special one as it is a layout of my beautiful adorable Niece who is only 2 months old. She is so tiny as she was born very early... I will be doing more layouts of her some of which will be when she was first born.

So how did I cover the 5 prompts?

Prompt 1. Bronze - I added Bronze Brads one in the top right corner or the photo layers and one in the bottom left.

Prompt 2. Floral - Beautiful flowers either side of the photo

Prompt 3 Fairytale - The papers used are Graphic 45 Fairy Dust, I have fussy cut some toadstools from one of the papers in the collection and also used another paper which is the centre part of the layout which has fairies on.

Prompt 4 Spring - Covered with the flowers and I thin the colours are Spring

Prompt 5 No Title - Not added a Title.

The products I used for this layout are as follows:

March Charmed Cards and Crafts Kit - Graphic 45 Fairy Dust

Double Sided Tape

Foam

Tombow Glue

Trimmer

I hope you love this layout as much as I do and it gives you lots of inspiration, If you would like to join in on this monthly challenge (no prizes just a bit of fun to help your crafty mojo) you can join the Facebook group >>>> HERE <<<<

This Is Indeed A Mystery Mixed Media Canvas

Hi all

Today I have a mixed media canvas to share with you all, Which I did while at a crop day on Saturday, We get a kit each month to use while at the crop or to use at home which ever we like, This months kit was the Graphic 45 Master Detective.

So here we have what I have done with some bits from one of the sheets which was in the kit including some of the embellishments.

To do this canvas I used the following products:

20 x 20cm Canvas

Black Gesso

Master Detective 12 x 12 Sheet - Cut parts from this that i wanted to use

Embellishments from the kit (feathers spider web and spider die cuts)

Border Drip Stencil

Modelling Paste

Candied Apple Distress Ink

Matt Medium

Foam Tape

Scissors

I loved doing this piece with the kit as it was so different to doing a scrapbook layout. I also shared this picture on my Instagram and it got noticed by Graphic 45 eeeeek they even commented on it which made me grin like a Cheshire cat.

I hope you like what I have done and it inspires you to try something new with your 12x12 papers.
