Scrap the girls DT September

 This month Scrap the Girls have embraced "Painty Hands". So of course I couldnt resist scrapbooking a photo of a painting I have recently completed. This painting is titled Green Paint. Here is my layout-

And here is the inspiration for the layout

My layout was first made by preparing the background. I used an offcut of watercolour paper I had previously applied Brusho's (watercolour pigment powder). I then used acrylic paint on my 12 x 12 inch cardstock.

I embossed some Grunge board to add as embellishment.

I then added some wonderful stamped leaves (made by my fried Donna- thank you!). I also added Prills, some banners a note and the layout complete.

Amazing what you can do with a little paint!

Cheers!

Scrap the Girls August DT

This month, Scrap the Girls are providing the theme, "Open your heart" as inspiration. I literally took the tree as inspiration for my layout this month. Here it is-

To accentuate the tree, I used foliage die cuts. I also used coconut fibre and ribbon to provide an organic look. The background paper didn't need additional work as it provided the perfect detail. 

Here's how the layout looked as I arranged embellishments.

Here are some close up shots. Gold ink was used over the layered embellishments to match detailing in the background card.

Scrap the Girls DT July

Well its a very sweet month, with a sweet layout to give us inspiration. Here's my take:

Not hard to see where the inspiration came from!

Colors, and theme were perfect for my photo of this girl and her pancakes.

While I splashed a bit of paint around on the background, I cut up pictures from an old Golden book I had lying around. 

I used dies to cut cardstock and added a few colored embellishments.- Page done!

Here's a couple of close ups:

Scrap the Girls DT June

This month we have a great page layout to give us inspiration. Here's my take on it.

Here's the page layout.

As you can see, I used the basic layout and rotated it so that my banners are horizontal rather than vertical. I have also used the two photos but have added a number of embellishments to add interest.

Here's a few close ups.

I have used Kaisercraft cardstock and added some stamping (Coco Vanilla stamps) and others. Chipboard is inked Dusty Attic. I have also made die cuts (Memory box) and layered with flowers made by my lovely friend, Donna. I couldn't resist the tuchan  and I completed the layout with prills.

Scrap the Girls DT April

Well we are already into April I am just getting around to posting.

Here is my layout for this months Scrap the Girls challenge.

This months challenge is travel related. Well, it can only be memories of travel since no one can travel., and there is just NO leaving town at the moment!

I commenced this layout with plain white paper. I glued a doily and added paint. Of course there were splatters too.

My layout used a variety of travel related embellishments. I didn't know I had so many in my stash, it was hard to decide which ones to use. I also heat embossed some die cuts.

Find this months challenge here and think of those travel memories!

cheers

Scrap the Girls March DT

New layout for March Scrap the Girls challenge.

The inspiration for this layout comes from the moodboard which you can find on Scrap-The-Girls blog. As you can see I have used red flowers and printed pages as my main theme.

I made this layout by hand drawing flowers on old dictionary pages. I hand cut these out.

I also colored some acetate shapes (Kaisercraft) with alcohol markers.

These were then all layered along with fabric, and other embellishments. 

Have a go at the challenge here.

cheers!
