A2Z Scraplets!

Good morning! Today I'm sharing my 2nd GDT layout for A2Z Scraplets.

Anyone that regularly follows me would already know of my love for stencils, so it was extra special to get a couple in my pack! In combination of this panorama photo & this fabulous Fading Circular Dot stencil, I wanted to keep the overall layout simple, keeping the focus on those two things.

I used Colour Blast paste with the stencil, it gives it a lovely shimmery look (which you can slightly see in the pic below), so ideal with a sunrise photo. The lovely 'hello' chipboard is also from A2Z...isn't it gorgeous!

A2Z Scraplets July Mood Board

Hello, I hope you are all enjoying the weekend...at least we enjoyed a little bit of sun here.
Have you seen the gorgeous mood board over @ A2Z Scraplets? I loved it & couldn't wait to play...

Here's where the inspiration took me...

I was lucky enough to have all those colours in Tim Holtz distress paint & with those umbrella's simply saw a background of circles! I was also drawn to the arrow & the pencils, though I've used scribble pen to stand out, over pencils, with the A2Z arrow stencil. I loved the quote, which lead me to this gorgeous 'love you' script wood title, already in black which I loved as it was.

Thanks for stopping by. As always, a huge thank you for any comments you may leave me...they are very much appreciated, especially the time you take to leave me one x

Retreat scrapping!

The previous weekend I was lucky enough to be at retreat, it was a rather productive one for me :) gotta love that! A lot of it was for DT commitments, but here's a couple just for me.

The background for this one was started the previous retreat, just playing with Dylusions paint...I love the vibrancy of these paints. While at this retreat, I sat opposite the lovely Lisette & she had this fabulous stencil from Scrapmatts...I simply had to borrow. That's the beauty of retreats, the sharing of supplies, as well as the sharing of knowledge & simply the fun of them! I teamed the stencil with Colourblast paste which matched beautifully with the paint, I added some stamping & embellishments.
For this next one, I've layered various stamps to create my background. It's great to get out the much neglected stamps & play.

Thanks for stopping by, as always a huge thank you for any comments you may leave. I truly do appreciate the time you take to leave me one.
Happy scrapping.

Guest Designer news!

Hello! I'm super excited to announce that I'm Guest Designing over at A2Z Scraplets, I feel very honoured to be joining them for a few months :) My first share went up today on their blog, which you can find HERE.

I was lucky enough to get to play with this fabulous stencil, as well as the various chipboard pieces :)

I do love my stencils & this, Fading Circular Dots Stencil, was a fun one to use with it's great design & ease of cleaning. I used it with Colour Blast paste...& really love the results.

For the 'always arrow' & 'happy' word, I simply coloured in the same orange paint as used in the background. For the flourish, I painted it with the Colour Blast paste then dimensional magic to give it extra gloss as well as the shimmer.
Pop over to their blog to see the fabulous creations from the DT & their other great chipboard designs. If you are a lover of chipboard, they also have a DT Call Out at the moment, closing July 30th...you'll find the details HERE

July Kraft+ Challenge!

Hello July! With the new month comes new challenges & I loved this one over @ Kraft+...isn't it gorgeous!

Obviously we had to start with some sheet music & I was also drawn to the minty green in the cake, the flowers & the heart created by the sheet music. This is what I came up with...

I was lucky enough to be at retreat last weekend & my sister in law had this gorgeous mask from Stampin' Up, I simply had to play & knew instantly which layout it was perfect for. Along with Colour Blast paste in 'bling', I love the gold shimmery look of it. Teamed with various Kaisercraft Collections pieces, this layout came together reasonably quickly for me...yay!
Pop over HERE to check out the AMAZING creations from the rest of the team. I look forward to seeing what you come up with...have fun!
