Hi everyone, hope you are all safe and well and looking after each other. Today I’m sharing a journal page in my black book with some new products.
I started this one with a white pencil and the Circle Stencil. This stencil is probably my most used Scrap FX product. I’ll use any excuse to add circles to my page and this is perfect for them.
I have just finger painted inside the circles, not worrying about how neat or messy it looked.
There was a lot of excess paint in the blue circle so have used the Scribble Word Stamp by pressing it into the excess and stamping it around the page.
Next I adhered a few Funky Folk (omg I am so in love with these) to the page. I had them hanging off the edge and trimmed them off once dry. The Keep Calm and Be Awesome Silhouette has been trimmed and glued down with matte medium.
I finished the page off by outlining the elements in black and white pencils.
today I bring to you my two projects of art journal!
The first is this page, where I used Scrap Fx collage papers, stamps and stencil!
First I glued some pieces of rice papers, then I brushed white gesso and I applied acrylic paints and stencil. I used Scrap Fx stamps with archival inks and I made a quote stencil with black gesso.

Hi Scrap FX Fans!
Elisa here from the design team with my latest inspiration for you for this month featuring all things ‘Education themed’.
I have wanted to scrap this photo of my son for a while now, he had dressed up at school with the rest of his class as self confessed ‘book nerds’.
He shares my love of reading and collecting books so I wanted to create a layout that incorporates that as well.
One technique that I want you all to have a go at is how I created the frame – coat your chip board frame in black modelling paste and stamp into the wet paste with your Scrap FX foam stamp then dry thorougly. Once dry, use metallic waxes and stippling brush or even just your finger to smooth the wax into the grooves and stamped image, the texture and effect is amazing!
Let’s take a look at the close up images for all the finer details:-
I added rice paper to the background and black gesso to start and then layered using embossing powder, paint, foil flakes and stencilling to complete the look.
The frame was created using black modelling paste, the scrap fx numbers stamp and metallic waxes and the Achieve arrow was painted with acrylic paint then embossed over the top with chunky embossing powder and turquoise ink. I am really happy with how the frame
The Scrap FX transparency pages are so easy to add to your pages and so versatile, ask your retailer to order some in for you!

Good Morning Scrap FX Fans,
Belinda here…. WOW, what can I say about this month so far??? Can we press a reset button on 2020? First a drought, then flooding and now COVID-19, what a way to start the new decade….. on a positive note though you may get in more scrappy time ?
On this fine Friday morning I have a layout for you using products that ScrapFX has to purchase……go to the store and have a browse, I guarantee you that you will find something you “must have”. I have also used a sketch for the first layout, I don’t normally use sketches but I really liked the look of this one. I will post it below so you can all have a go at it
I have created this layout using the following Scrap FX products: Starting School Chipboard, Numbers Ricepaper, Chevron Panel and Star Outlines
And here is the sketch I used which I sourced from Pintrest

Hello everyone,
How are you doing? I hope you are well.
With the COVID-19 virus all over the world and the sad news in the newspaper, I find it hard to get into the flow to create something creative. But, I did it !!!… once I started, I couldn’t stop. I have produced for you two art journal pages with the theme school. Oh, how I love the new products from ScrapFx…. see for yourself what I have done…
and I think you will love the new products, too!!
Class `62…
And my second DT member inspiration.
I worked again in my altered art journal.
For this I used different acrylic colours and products.
Many thanks that you have visited my blog post today. Maybe you have the time to look at my second post end of March.
Until then I hope that you will stay healthy and you will implement one or the other inspiration in your art journal.

Hi All,
This months theme is all about school – timely as I am a school teacher and who knows what is about to happen in the next few days!!! I decided to focus on all the positives and create a layout of the fun my kids have at Little Learners, as well as make a card to celebrate someones achievement. Both are fairly quick projects, and made perfect by the Scrap FX embellishments added to them.
The layout combines some old (like 15yrs old) scrapbooking paper and die cut sheet I glued together. I matted all my photos with black card and found a piece of lined pad paper to create a journalling spot. Finally I embossed all my pieces of chipboard with pink embossing powder. While this probably didn’t give the best contrast on the page – it is my girls favourite colour and they loved it. The last thing I did to pop the title out from the background was to matt it on some marbled paper I made. I then used glue to attach everything. Here is a link to the full process video and some close up pictures of the finished piece.
The second project is a super quick card using the fabulous new collage rice papers. These are so versatile and can be used in so many ways. I decided to colour mine with some watercolours then paste it down on my yardstick using dry adhesive (glue stick). This is important as you don’t want to reactivate the colours again. Then I heat embossed my chipboard achieve arrow with gold and glued it onto the card front. Finally I added some text stickers to complement the title. Super simple and took about 15 minutes from start to finish! Here are some close ups and the process video for you to watch as well.
Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today. Here are the pieces I have used from the Scrap FX range. Don’t forget to like and subscribe to our video channel to see more great ideas on how to use the Scrap FX products.

Hi, I almost feel like I cheated with this page. It was so simple and easy but it was exactly what i pictured in my head.
I did try adding to it but it just wasn’t right. All I have done is lay down some colour with Colour Blast shimmer dust in the background. Once dried I have splattered on some white ink.
I’ve then heat embossed the chipboard Dreamer Frame and glued it to the background. That’s it.
And I love it. This one’s going in a frame.
My next project has a few layers on it. This started with the Mish Mash stencil and some spray. After heat drying this, I added some stamping with the Chicken Wire Stamp, Circle Marks Stamps and Numbers Set stamp.
I cut a piece from the School Days Rice Paper but didn’t want this to be transparent so I glued it to a white tag from the Lace Tag Set. I took another tag and inked it in the same colour as some of my background.
Underneath these i have layered some Filmstrip Transparency and a Dotty Index Tab.
In the corners of my page I have adhered some torn pieces of Sewing Rice Paper and added a quote from the Dreamer Transparency.
I made it a feature in the centre placing it over a white heat embossed Wrought Iron stamp image.
The edged background was filled with subtle layers using the Mish Mash stencil, with Picked Raspberry & Broken China Distress Oxide inks & a blending brush.
The numbers stamp was white heat embossed as another layer.
The pink was toned down & blended out with a foam blending tool to keep this colour in the background.
