I did for my dt member work another mixed media mini book
with lots of stamps and stencil work. For my embellishments
I used chipboards and transparency.
Let´s start.
Happy Birthday…..
My color choice for this book was: Old Holland acrylics in red, blue, black, white and gold.
The ribbon is a piece from my grandmothers tablecloth.
Unfortunately, the tablecloth has so much dirty spots which I cannot get cleaned. But that beautiful fabric in the memory of my grandmother was reason enough to keep it for my art work!!
I cut it in strips for my mixed media work and voila I have a piece of memory art work!
I started with a black paper sheet 30 cm x 40 cm.
Then I scored horizontally on 15 cm
and I scored vertically on 10 cm, 20 cm and 30cm.
After that I cut out a piece of paper on the top, exactly from the 10 cm score line to the 30 cm score line.
My next step was collage-work with old vintage paper.
Okay, after my collage-work was done and completely dried, I started with a layer of clear Gesso.
After that I added a layer of white paint with the palette knife.
Now my favorite part: stencil and stamp work…YAH!!
My next step was another palette knife work with black, blue and red color.
Finally it is time for embellishing with transparency, photos and chipboards.
Mark making with Posca pen and pencils.
On the left site the mandala transparency over the number crunch stamp.
My circle party chipboard as window for the girl photo images and the Happy Birthday vellum.
On the left site I have a red color phototransfer. Can you see it?
I am so in love with the flower bud stencil..
After two days of my background work I thought about it: I miss something else.
So I have attached a piece of vellum-paper 10 cm x 30 cm on the left and right site.
I glued photos on the vellum-paper also I did a little bit stitching work and words as embellishments.
The photos are from Tim Holtz and Finnabair.
Here you can see, which part was cut out from the black background paper.
May you already have scrap supplies (and a wine) in your hands to celebrate.
This month its all about Celebrating at ScrapFX

Hi All,
I am still playing with the June release of the Birthday themed products, which has come in extremely handy when scrapping for a little girls third Birthday! This 12 x 12 layout took no time at all to create, and the chipboard elements add to the magical feel of the page.
I decided that the page needed some black to balance the bold primary colours of the scrapbooking paper, so I heat embossed all the chipboard with black embossing powder. To highlight the magical, unicorn nature of such an important 3rd birthday, I also added shredded iridescent glitter to the embossing powder while it was still warm. This gave a beautiful effect and just the right amount of sparkle! I was also very lucky with he outline stars, and the were the perfect size to frame the stars on the scrapbook paper to begin with. I used both the frames and the inside stars, so nothing went to waste.

Hi, thank you for joining me again this month. Today I’m sharing a simple art journal page and and little off the page project.
After painting my background, I have adhered some Bookprint Transparency to my background. I just cut random pieces of this and used matte medium to stick it down in 3 places to form a visual triangle.
I’ve then taken one of my scrap pages that I started a background on a while ago that I wasn’t happy with. I think I’ve said before that I always keep these to re purpose them for future projects. I’ve used a sponge and black paint with the Flower Buds Stencil and once cut, used these to make the bodies/dresses of my Queens.
For my title I have cut a strip from the Art Words Transparency and painted behind this with a posca pen.
My next project began with a desk stand that my friend Deena Otway gave a few of us at a retreat a couple of years ago. I finally got around to painting it and love how it’s turned out.
After giving it a couple of coats of chalk paint I have used the Paint Brushes Stencil and black paint on the ends of the stand. I then coloured each brush with paint pens and went over the top of this with the stencil again to neaten the finish.
I added a paintbrush to the front and also the word Create from the Create with Passion Stencil.
I love it so much that I’m going to make a permanent spot on my desk for it.

I show you today a page under the theme anniversary with a little step by step
Lets see the final result first:
Fisrt, I used the stencil mini roses with modeling paste to make my background
I colored my background with distress oxyde spray
I then added another spray color. I did not want it everywhere and not in drops. To control my fluid, I use a piece of plastic packaging that I crumple and stamp in my ink to then stamp on my page.
I am assembling the main elements of my page
I chose matching embellishments and my chipboard
I embossed my chipboard with embossing powder. For the title, I embossed with two powder colors. I also left 2 flat chipboard, simply inked with brown distress ink.
I finally put all my embellishments and chipboard on my page and finished by putting several drops of black iRRISISTIBLE. In order not to spray my picture, and the textual elements, I hide them with old paper scraps.
here is the final result again
and some close ups
Thank you for your visit. Here is the list of Scrap Fx products used
by Sharon Fritchman | Comments Off on Happy Heart . . . a step by step tutorial by Sharon!
Hi everyone! I am very excited to share with you my latest scrapbook page that I made with Scrap FX products that I love!
My page is entitled “Happy Heart” and while envisioning my page, I knew I wanted to scrap this photo of my daughter, Anne:
Here is my completed page:
Here is my step by step tutorial which will include the Scrap FX products that I used along the way!
First, I distressed the edges of my paper:
Next, I stamped the edges of my paper with the following foam stamps:
Stitching:
Rose Garden:
Cakes:
I used versa-mark stamp pad and heat embossed the images with black embossing powder.
I covered the smaller matts with cheesecloth:
And added the wire flower silhouette:
I stamped my background paper with the number crunch foam stamp, then spritzed it with water and black ink spray:
Number Crunch foam stamp:
While the paper was drying, I heat embossed my chipboard pieces with silver embossing powder, and went over some areas on each piece with darker celestial embossing powder:
Balloon Frame:
Celebrating in Style Wordlet:
I also stamped a piece of vellum paper that I had on hand with the rose garden stamp (as seen above) and celestial embossing powder. I cut out these flowers to use later:
Finally, I put everything together. I moved things around the tucked things in here and there until I was happy with the arrangement. Then I glued everything down. Even after I have everything in place, I add extra touches, like cheesecloth, misting, ink splatter, glitter, and ribbon. I added the cut out vellum, heat embossed flowers and added ribbon to the balloons.
Here is a close-up:
I used the phrases “Let success by measured by the happiness in your HEART” and “Happy Heart” from the Love Transparency:
I also added the beautiful black and white butterflies:
Here are some more close-ups and different views:
Thank you for visiting today. I hope you enjoyed my tutorial and that you are inspired to create a page of your own!
