10 fav layouts using Chipboard

Merry Xmas and Happy New Year to everyone.  

I am starting of the year with optimism and detailing my 10 favourite layouts using Chipboard as part of my submission for Imaginarium Designs Design Team Call.

They are in no particular order:

The first one is the front cover of a Calender that I created for my Australian Scrapbooking Memories submission. The holes in the top are for the rings that bind the calender pages together.  I have not yet put this on my blog so there is no link to it.

The next page is also a layout I completed for Australian Scrapbooking Memories and have not yet blogged it:

This is an Off the Page project that I created for my girlfriend as a present for her birthday present.  Each box representing something from her life

In this layout I was experimenting with backgrounds and tags:

This layout I was experimenting with Vaseline to create the background:

pop and colours # 2

I signed up to Pop and Colours # 2 and Georgia Heald was the first team member up.  She did an awesome video and this is my take on the layout:

Unfortunately I wiped my arm across the page causing the green splats to smudge - so disappointed because this was the last part of the page.  My husband says they look like shooting stars !!!! Gotta love his encouragement for seeing a positive out of a negative!

Here are some close ups:

I had such fun creating this layout and learnt alot.  I would recommend anyone thinking about signing up - go for it.  Watching such talented people creating pages is awesome and you get to pick their brains with what they do!!!!

Scrap Around the World December Challenge

Just in the knick of time I have completed a layout for the scraparoundtheworld december challenge.

Here is my take on the mood board:

this is the mood board that we had to get incentive from:

I chose the frames, the teal, pink and purple to create a layout using an old photo of my niece.

Here are some close ups:

The Paper is 7 Dots Studio, Stormy Sea.  The frames are Prima Resins which have been coloured with Inka Gold, and Patina Verdigris.

The wording is chipboard from Ruby Rock-it.  Stencilling using a Kaisercraft circle stencil and texture paste mixed with Patina  Paint from Ranger "Verdigris".

Chipboard flowers and butterflies also from Prima which have been painted with gelatos and then coated with either Tim Holtz Rock Candy Glitter or Sparkle Embossing powder.  

Thank for stopping by :)

BOY MEETS GIRL DECEMBER DT LAYOUT

Here is my layout for the AAG challenge for the month of December - the challenge was to create a page using the same photo more than once.  Here is my layout:

I created the background using Crafters Workshop stencil and Tim Holtz distress inked.  I used Tim Holtz stamps randomly on the background and a Tim Holtz stamp for the title.  The chipboard flourish was coloured, again with Tim Holtz distress ink, and embossed with a glitter powder.

Here are a couple of close ups:
