DT Layout for The Scrapbook Boutique

My goodness February already,  where has the month of January gone.  I am up on the Scrapbook Boutique today and  I thought I would share a layout with the latest Kaisercraft Collection - Cherry Tree Lane.

I have used a photo of my Great Great Grandmother.








I began by tearing the edges of two papers, inking them with distress ink (aged mahogany) 


Once I collated them together with some paper lace in between the layers I applied some stencils using the Nuvo Embellishment Mouse - Mother of Pearl - now seriously this stuff is AWESOME and some Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Garnet Red - another fantastic product.



From here I have collated the layout with stamps, flowers, chipboard, inks, glitter and micro beads.

Here are some close ups:




The title was painted with Lindy Stamp Gang Peony Scarlet red and then a couple of coats of gesso.





Prima flowers


Kaisercraft Cherry Tree Lane Die Cutss


Tim Holtz Ledgerscript Stamp


Micro beads in Blush and Glass Beads in Crystal.

Kraft+ January Challenge

Hi, I have finally found the time to do a layout for the January Kraft+ challenge - they are always inspirational and I find challenging.  Kraft is never the easiest to do and it really gets you thinking.  I have scrapped some old photos of my husband deciding it was a good idea to challenge my son to a ride off on the BMX Track - not the wisest idea as my son raced BMX and my husband hadnt been on a push bike for years!!!




This is the challenge if you still have time to spare this weekend



Thanks for stopping by and til next time - Happy Crafting :)

More than Words - January Challange



HI there, I managed to find time over the Xmas/New Year break to play with my new 7 Dots Writers Block Collection and the More than Words Challenge.

Instead of a "party"celebrate layout I have chosen a photo of myself and dear friend  - celebrating my new glasses - not really a celebration cos it is signified the beginning of getting old!!!

For the bling aspect there is gold foil bling on the die cut glasses and glitter around the layout.
