Love Yourself First for Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges

Hi Everyone

This month over at Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenges our winner will be our Guest Designer for the month of July how exciting xx

This is the very gorgeous granddaughter of a friend who likes to take selfies lol

It's good for me cause my kids are older now and it's really hard to get photos of them at all

So I just steel hers and she gets the pages which she loves

I love the washed out colours in the background and how they flowed

through the stencilled pattern







Thanks for visiting I hope you will be back soon xx

Family is For Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

This project for Memory Maze is for a very special friend who lost one of her family members Uncle Lyleczku one of her beloved poodles

I painted the canvas in Pomegranate Dylusions paint then stencilled over the top with impasto once it was dry I rubbed Vintage Gold wax over the top of the raised area to make it stand out more

I used the Family from the Family Hearts set and painted it in the same colour and rubbed it over with the gold as well then rapped the stem from the flower vine through it

Here I used Graphite paste through the Mini Noughts and Crosses Stencil so I could put some hugs and kisses because that's what this stencil is for me  

I used some of Tim Holtz word quote stickers and the ones I used were -

Hello my darling 

with brave wings she flies (I coloured out the s)

adventure awaits you

I thought they all suited his new adventure he was having up in heaven xx

Hello For Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Memory Maze Blog so make sure you head over and check it out and see what the rest of the Design Team have been up too

This photo is of my cousin and her husband letting everyone know they are expecting a baby 

Such a beautiful photo and such joy all round for everyone

Noah will be the best big brother ever

So I used the Pavement Stencil with Impasto and then used some Oxide inks to add some vibrant colours to match the photo

The Adorable word I painted with the Mermaid Lagoon Oxide and then outlined it with white pen

The Hello is and experiment that Memory Maze is trying out so if you're interested make sure to contact your local supplier and they can contact us to get some made 

I coloured it with Squeezed Lemonade

A few embellishments and some art stones and we're done

Make sure you check out the Blog to see what the Design Team have created

I have also created a YouTube video but again it's pixelated (so please if anyone out their can
help let me know whats happening)

I used Magical's for the background and added some Glimmer Magic 5ml for extra shimmer
over the background

I used the Vintage Oval Frame and covered it with some Pearl Deco foil and added

lots of flowers of course then glass beads, seed beads and mica flakes

I used some silver leaves I had in my stash 

I added some silver balls and a few clear gems them painted a coat of glitter paint over the top of all the embellishments and I'm done

Smile Big For Memory Maze

Hey Everyone

My turn on the Memory Maze Blog make sure you check it out and 

see what the rest of the team are been up too 

On this rare occasion I had some photos of my son to 

scrap so using the Checker Plate Stencil was perfect as it added to him 

standing against the roller door of the garage 

The problem is he never smiles yet he's the one that wants the photos taken so we have 

to say something stupid to get him to laugh and catch it LOL 

The Checker Plate Stencil is one of my faves it is such a great masculine 

stencil but can be used for anything really

I used some Impasto to give it a raised look then once it dried I used a teal spray to drip 

and drizzle over the page to highlight some of the areas

The Grunge Holes Mesh chipboard is so cool it comes in two pieces one end is
ovals and the other is squares with all the little bits filled in the holes which can
be used for all sorts of fun things (great little Easter eggs, confetti, if you arrange
them you can make a paw print) - endless like your imagination

I like to use the Grunge Holes Mesh for mixed media pages it adds extra 

dimension and texture - you can paint it, stamp it even fill the holes in with 

texture paste then stamp it or fill it with beads

Here are the links to the Products I used -

DecoArt the have a huge range of products so make sure you check them out

And don't forget to checkout our BLOG for the Design Teams creativity this month

This is a very lovely ladies dog LeTil (one of 4 of them) she has 3 brothers

so it's been nice to do a page in pink of one of her babies lol

I used very watered down gesso to just tone the pink down a bit behind the photo





I then used some modelling paste with a diamond stencil - one of my favourite shapes

Then used some bright yellow here and there over the page to add a pop of colour

I also added it to the flowers and other bits and pieces that I had on the page

Thanks for visiting and I hope you will be back soon xx

Be You

Hey Everyone

I decided to enter the Lindy's Stamp Gang November Challenge where you had to use at least 2 out of the 5 colours in the pallete 

I chose Steampunk Sepia and Tweedle Dee Denim 

I used the Printers Tray from Memory Maze Designs I decided to use only one photo and this was perfect as it has the sepia tone to it

I started by adding some crackle paste over the tray in random spots, then stencilled a hounds tooth pattern on the background with modelling paste

I then painted the colours randomly then spraying water and drying in between each layer

I love how the sepia went into the cracks to give it depth

I used a few background stamps on the tray to add another dimension

I dipped some flowers and the muslin in a watered down mix of the colours 

A sprinkle of micro beads here and there for more texture they add a little shimmer as well

Added flowers, metal and a few other embellishments and that's it

Thanks for visiting I hope you will be back soon xx
