Crafty Girl Scrapbook Layout

Hi all,

A new layout to share today.....
I really wanted to use the Simple Stories 'Reset Girl' chipboard stickers on a layout...
And I did like(ish) this picture of me in the outfit Nathan bought me for my birthday....
So I made this with a little mixed media.

I started off with 2 papers from the Heidi Swapp September Skies paper pad, layered them and painted an area with gesso, then copper acrylic paint and finally stamped some stars once the paint was dry. The stamp in the top left is an old one by Kaisercraft and I love it...! Would like to do more stamping now I have bought myself a decent ink pad.

I used Reset Girl washi tape on the background and also along the bottom. Then I layered up some envelopes and doilies before adding my photo, stickers and some Cocoa Vanilla Studio sequins. 

Thanks for stopping by!

#PinkHairDontCare (Who Needs A Cameo Anyway?)

Hi all,

A new layout and video to share today, trying something a little different!

(I have pink hair now.... eee! :D)

For this I used the We R Memory Keepers Urban Chic paper pad and the July/August embellishment kit from Crafty Templates. The backing paper is by My Mind's Eye Jubilee (and that is where the text comes from too)

You might be wondering about that title.

Well, I didn't fancy using Thickers and I don't have a Silhouette Cameo so I tried something using the scanner and Photoshop (but you can use any image editing software I think). Intrigued? Then watch this!

Think the title worked out quite well! I fussy cut around it, stuck it down and outlined the edge with my silver Sharpie. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello, Handsome! Scrapbook Layout

Hi all,

A layout to share today using the July/August embellishment kit from Quirky Kits
I love the kit this time, there's lots of different elements to choose from. My favourite thing is the pink Nuvo Crystal Drops I ordered from the subscriber extras shop. I used it to outline my title (little messy but I still <3 it) and add dots on the page.

I took the picture of Nathan in York on my birthday, he said he owed me a picture, so I took the opportunity... 

The background, backing to the picture and little houses are all from Pink Paislee 'Take Me Away'.

I feel like this layout is a bit messy for my liking but... bit late to change it! 

Here's a close up of the crystal drops.

Thanks for stopping by!

Valentine's Day Layout (and January/February Quirky Kit)

Hi all

On Valentines Day, Nathan and I went to York. He took me to dinner at Wagamama and then we spent the afternoon looking round the shops and gardens. It was such a lovely day (bit chilly though!)

Here's a layout I made using a selfie we took in the gardens near the museum. My January/February Quirky Kit arrived last week so I used elements from that in this layout. I love the Project Life cards,  and the acrylic birds are so cute!

Here's a picture of what was included in the Quirky Kit embellishment kit this time, you can find out more here

Thanks for stopping by!
