Memories for Scrapbook Fantasies

Hello everyone

I’ve had a hectic few months sorry for the gap in posts we’ve had so much happening which is too much to go into now 

I hope you all have a very happy and safe new year xx

Anyway here’s the first project using the gorgeous Boho Beauty range by Scrapbook Fantasies 

Also make sure to check out the fun projects that the rest of the Design Team over at the Facebook group - Scrapbook Fantasies Creative Family

I stared off using Patterned paper No. 2 as the base

I had scraps from another project 

So I cut them to the size I wanted 

I used both sides of Patterned paper No. 1

Then added a piece of white cardstock where I’ll put the I used some gold wax over the Memories from the chippie-cut  Magical Memories Words and added it to the bottom corner 

 I fussy cut the Dream catcher from the Dream Builder Fussy Cut Additions sheet

then added some paper clay embellishments I had in my stash

Thanks for visiting and I hope you visit again soon x

 On todays blog I’ve got a page I created using the Nautical Dreams Collection from Scrapbook Fantasies 

It’s such a great collection with such a fabulous variety of papers that work for any style of layout or project 

Make sure to check out the range from the papers to the colour cuts and printed vellum 

I used 

Paper No. 2

Paper No. 5

Paper No. 6

Boutiques Colour Cuts 

Rice Collage Paper

Colour Word Sheet

I started off by tearing pieces of the papers in random shapes and sizes and taping them together to make a photo mat 

Also using a piece of the green trees from Paper No. 5 that I had leftover from another project (see never throw out the scraps)

I also used cardboard underneath to raise the photo and mat up for height

Once I knew the size of the mat I used some crackle paste to make a border around the outside for some contrast against the mat 

I tried to use some glue through a stencil but it didn’t quite work how I wanted - the pattern couldn’t be seen properly so I just added more so the gold leaf would stick to it randomly for some contrast

Once that was dry I used some water colour paints in blue and green so the crackle would show up better 

 

Then after fussy cutting a few pieces and choosing a few colour cuts I started to embellish the page

Thank you for visiting I hope you’ll come back soon xx

Gecko Galz christmas

The background for my tag I used the Winter Weather ATC sheet and cut small strips from a few of them 

Stuck them on a piece of cardstock

Cut them into a tag shape

And there you go

I have  and added a bling sliver ribbon bow

I had an acrylic deer head I made from a mould That every time I try with clay it never works out but with acrylic it’s perfect lol 

A mini canvas with an image from the Nouveau Winter collection

I started by adding some texture paste with a diamond stencil 

Then added some floral paperclay corner pieces 

Then I painted the whole canvas with black gesso 

After it all dried I went over everything with some different coloured waxes - starting with white, then some silver and ending on an orange/gold one to pick up the gold in the image

I added the image to some cardboard to raise it up a bit

And an acrylic window I made from one of my moulds

I had a tiny wreath charm so I added it to the window to add a little Christmas to the canvas without overwhelming it 

Three Christmas cards made with the Christmas Misses images two with not so traditional Christmas colours

I took some white cardstock and swiped some pale pink paint across it with a palette knife

Then added the grey ribbon (it had wire in it which I took out)

I added a couple of little flowers and a small acrylic bauble charm I made

Added the image which has a touch of pink to it which is why I chose it 

I like non traditional colours at Christmas 

I don’t use a lot of green in my crafting but Christmas just calls for it doesn’t it hahaha

Anyway with this card I used some bling paste which has a lovely sparkle to it which unfortunately you can’t see in photos

I had this pretty gold sparkly ribbon so I added a strip down the side and chose two images 

They reminded me of a mother and daughter who were out shopping hahaha

A little Christmas tree charm with some jute and it’s done

This card was a background I was playing with and didn’t start off its life as a Christmas card hehehe but as I said I like non traditional Christmas colours and this image is black and white so you can do anything with it

I have some gold texture paste with one of my favourite stencils which I used over the top of the water coloured background 

I found a chipboard Holly piece which I was given in our KK last year 

I used green wax over that which I lightly wiped over it so it only just coloured it

I used some cardboard to raise the image and it’s done

I want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and safe and very Happy New Year xx
