Hi again, it’s Bec back again with my second layout featuring this months new releases.
I loved the title Image-Play-Create (2015022), it’s so versatile for scrapbooking children’s pages as they are always playing, creating or imaging up new thing to do. So I decided to use this action shot of my daughter on the trampoline, it’s her favourite place to play and imagine she’s a gymnast.
Hi everyone it’s Bec here today with my first layout using this months new releases.
This month there is a lot of new school related products released which made me dig around to find some school pics of my daughter. Being a full time working mum I see more of before and after school care than actual school so these photo are three years old when my daughter was just five and starting school.
I used the new Alpha Stencil (2015017) with modeling paste on my background along with some light pink stamping using the Moroccan Tile Stamp (2013351) . For my chipboard I first primed them all with gesso and then used Lindy’s Stamp Gang embossing powder in Merry-g0-Round Green, Chateau Rose and Madonna Robe Gold. On the Live Learn Grow (2015021) and Do Fun Stuff Corner (2015011) I used a Ranger Emboss It Dabber to emboss each word in a different coloured powder.
Hi everyone it’s Cindy back again with you today to share with you another layout I created “Explore”
I loved this new “Explore the untaken path” title…. as soon as I saw it, it made me think of this photo I took at Bayon temple entrance at Angkor, Cambodia… I loved exploring this temple and got some amazing pics while I was there, including this one of the lonely entrance…
I coloured up the “Explore the untaken path” title with some Lindy’s spray before mounting it up on my photo…
I used one set of the new Shoe Soles Stamp, and cut them out to mount them on the layout… this is a fabulous stamp with three different sets of sole prints…
I used the new Alpha Stencil to create my background texture with modelling paste and coloured up with loads of sprays for colour…
I absolutely loved the new “dream discover destiny” title in the latest Scrap FX release…. it so summed up my journey to eventually see, and climb up the Eiffel Tower… It was always a dream that eventually become my destiny to discover…
I just think this title has so many applications, I think it is going to be a new favourite… here I used some Lindy’s Embossing Powder on it…
The new Alpha stencil created great texture on my background with some modelling paste, and I coloured it up using some sprays…
here I used one word from each pack…. each pack has six mini words… so useful and so versatile, love them…. Here I also used one of my old favourites the clockface/gears, steampunk… I treated all the chipboard pieces with the Lindy’s Embossing Powder for this layout…
Starting off with the school theme, we have two layouts to share. The new Alpha stencil has been used in both backgrounds, with different applications.
BACK TO SCHOOL: the alpha stencil was sprayed with two different coloured mists, then smashed in the top corner to get a reverse image, and when dry, traced around the letters, then doodling inside some of them.
LIVE*LEARN*GROW: The alphabet stencil was used with texture paste on a white gessoed paper, then sprayed with two mists. The new word ‘grad{you)ated’, was cut removing the ‘d’ then placed in position as below. Other fabulous new items on this page are the ruler stamp, and school transparency.
Next Michelle Logan showcases the new products with two layouts, of a non-school theme.
LIFE IS TOO IMPORTANT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY: Here Michelle has used the alpha stencil with texture paste, and the new ruler stamp to create a fabulous background. Then she used the Math Matrix to frame the photo:
The next layout builds around the new wordlet: Shoot for the Moon, with stars from the ‘seeing stars’ pack creating a milky way sky, with the circuit board stencil suggesting shooting stars. The new alpha stencil is also used in the background too, this time with coloured mists.
We hope you are inspired to use these versatile new releases…….we’d love to see what you can do with them. Please share them with us on our Facebook page.
Hi everyone it’s Cindy here, thanks for joining me today…
Today I’d like to share with you a couple of layouts, first up is “Just Married”
Ahhh… it seems like only yesterday Bill and I were starting out… where did all that time go…
I created my background using the Palm Frond Stencil from Scrap FX and plenty of Lindy’s Stamp Gang sprays…
It’s a gorgeous stencil isn’t it…
I used the Just Married title from Scrap FX and spray and inked it up.
I used the same spray and ink treatment on the Chickenwire Heart (in which I cut out the chicken wire centre, I’ll save that for another project). I used a Prima frame, lace doily and tag along with Prima papers… I like using Prima papers for my mixed media layouts, they have a heavier weight and take the products so well, the perfect compliment for my Scrap FX stencils and chipboard….

Riikka here with you today sharing a couple of layouts using the ScrapFX chippies, stencils and stamps!
Do you have a holiday that was so special that you always start to smile when you hear the place mentioned? I actually have a few of those kinds of awesome travel experiences. One of them is from Barcelona, Spain. We visited this beautiful city during the autumn of 2000 together with my high school group. There’s many great moments from that trip like visiting the Museu Nacional d’Art de Catalunya art museum or walking through the Parc Güell in heavy rain. As I haven’t document this trip in a traditional layout yet, I decided to take this opportunity to do so.
I used the Travel Stencil and Heart Spangles Stamp to add layers to the background. I used mist with the stencil and ink with the stamp using a turquoise / yellow color scheme to mimic the warmth and freshness I experienced in the town. The title word, Barcelona, I treated with embossing glitter to get that sparkling feeling. I also added a pointer and an arrow to the page as embellishments.
There’s two styles of journeys – the holiday ones and then something more abstract. The journeys of growth, craft journeys or life itself. As the first page was an actual holiday trip, I thought to make the other page about more of an abstract journey.
I picked the colors from the photo I used – vintage brown and mystical purple. I also added some black for the contrast. The photo itself is taken from the back window of the train while the summer sun was setting.
In the background I layered two stencils: I first used the Number Party Stencil and misted brown mist to the paper. On top I created some random lettering or words with the Travel Stencil. They bring a touch of structure to the piece. As a finishing touch I also added some drawn circles using the Random Dots Stencil.
I’ve choose this chipboard wordlet as a main focus of the card. And created the whole flourish composition around it.
I’ve covered the chipboard with a red LSG embossing powder and then added some glitter to create some sparkling on the project.
I’ve added trim to the background to add more softness to the project. And at last moment I’ve decided to add decorative berries and chili pepper to the flourish composition to highlight the theme and color of the chipboard piece
Are we ready for some more inspiration using the moodboard for this month?
Well lets go!
Just as a reminder here is the board the gals have been using to spark their creativity:
Oh and if you missed the first reveal of the moodboard take a short trip HERE.
So first up we have Cindy B:
Cindy replicated some of the colour on the board with the fabulous sprinkles of copper flakes and a background made with home made sprays (using Primary Elements powder by ColourArte) on watercolour paper.
Cindy used the powder pigment to colour the chipboard title so it complemented the page perfectly!
Leaving the arrow chippies raw really worked well with the colour scheme.
Take in that marvellous background and the texture created by the travel stencil.
“I was really inspired by the colours of the mood board. I decided to work my background with my usual watercolours in these shades: yellow/gold and blue, on a plain white cardstock. I also added a touch of black like there is on the mood board.
I applied medium paste (I am not sure of the English word for it) through the travel stencil, and I painted some of the words black after it dried off.”
Claire has certainly captured a summery beachy feel in this page!
Once again the raw chipboard (which has become a Claire signature move!) works brilliantly with the theme.
The travel stencil is used once agin for some background goodness!
Cindy used the beautiful turquoise and gold from the board, for a beautiful sky in a travel theme (inspired by the compass) of a tropical location suggested by the palm frond.
