So Much Joy In This Little Boy

Hey everyone. I have my take on the November challenge from Scrap the Boys to share today. The challenge was to scrap a super hero in your life or use the graphic as inspiration. I decided to use the graphic as inspiration. I used the 'You Rock' line from Photoplay Paper and wood veneer stars from Jillibean Soup. For the background I applied watered down water colour markers from American Crafts. Below are some close ups and the challenge. Thanks for stopping by.

There's No Place Like Home

Hey everyone. I'm so excited to share my first layout as a guest designer for Scrapbook Your Joy!! They are an online scrapbook store out of Ontario. Today I'm using the 'Home Again' collection from Carta Bella. Love this line and Carta Bella!! I used lots of ephemera, frames and tags, enamel dots and chipboard stickers. The flowers and wreaths were fussy cut from pattern paper. I love the quote that was part of the cut apart strips and had to use it on this page.  Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by and stay tuned for more pages where I use this beautiful collection.

Don't Grow Up It's A Trap

Hey everyone. This month at The Studio Challenges there's a Now and Then/Before and After challenge. I decided to do a page of my grandson showing how he has grown in just a year. That little baby face has turned into a cute little boy. I used Simple Stories' 'Lil Dude' collection for this page. I applied gesso to the pattern paper first to soften the colours and then added watered down distress ink with the packaging technique. Below are some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.

Fall Blessings

Hey everyone. I have this month's first challenge from The Studio Challenges to share with you today. It's a mood board challenge. I was inspired by the leaves, pumpkins and the gorgeous colours. I used Echo Park Paper's 'A Perfect Autumn' collection. For the background I applied some modelling paste through a stencil (it's hard to see) and then applied a few layers of colour with the packaging technique and a brush. I dried the ink between the layers. Below is the challenge and some close ups. Thanks for stopping by.
