A Layout to share...

Hi all and welcome to my creative inspiration share for Mad About Scrappin.  This week I have a layout that I created from all the scraps from these kits....

 .....and here is what I created.

 As usual readers here are my glamour pics and some close ups on the details/

I have used some Tim Holtz "Black Soot" Distress ink on the edges.  It tied in some of the black elements I have used on the page and it also made the colours pop that little bit more.  

I have also used and edge punch to add some variety to my strips 

and also here on the edge of layouts background.  

 I love these gorgeous pink flowers and they teamed up perfectly with the papers and doily.  I have added a touch of bling with these flourishes from my stash and....

....bye also sprinkling a few of the silver sequins you can see here

This was a super quick layout to do and I just love how versatile these papers are. Well readers, that is it....that's all there is....

  As always thanks for stopping by.  I sure do enjoy your company. Please be sure to check out the links below to see what my other creative team mates have been up to...

Creative Inspiration Layout - Believe

Hello Everyone, Welcome to my Monday Mad About Scrappin Project and today I have another layout to share with you all. I created this using a mix of all three of these kits I received from Leanne a few months back.!

 This is a really simple layout...perhaps you could even call it “minimalist” as I have kept embellishing and papers to a minimum. I really love the clean fresh feel it has. I have used white cardstock for my background as it makes everything else just pop!

Here are some close ups on the details...

 I have slipped in a few embellishments from my stash...like this cute little stamped camera image. 

I love these paperclips!! I have been hoarding them, but I am so glad I used it here along with the "Adventure" button/badge that you can see below.  I love these little button badges and I could be quite easily become addicted to collecting (and hoarding) them!!

  The balloon and the arrows are also from my stash, but they went with the theme of the papers and blended so well that I just had to use them.

The "Believe" title is one from a previous kit.

Well readers, that is it....that's all there is....

  As always thanks for stopping by.  I sure do enjoy your company. Please be sure to check out the links below to see what my other creative team mates have been up to...

Hello readers, welcome to my Monday Creative Inspiration post..  Today I have a layout to share with you using a kit from Mad About Scrappin.  I have used a selection of papers from the kit you see below.

and this is what I came up with.....

I have taken one of the doilies from my kit and sprayed it with some Lindy's Stamp Gang Ramblin Rose....Hopefully you can see some of shimmer in the photo's below.

I have added some soft baby pink cherry blossoms and an acrylic heart to embellish the little journalling spot.  The title is a diecut from a previous kit.

I also created some hidden journalling by using the glassine bag that was part of the embellishments and I have tucked a hand cut tag inside.

I have used a scrap strip left over from a previous layout and added a Kaisercraft phrase.  I then

tucked both of these under one of the button badges that were also in the embellishments.  I really love using these little badges.

Well guys, I think I have covered everything. That was a pretty quick post huh?  This was such a great layout and the papers have a happy feel to them.  I also love how the black accents just make there rest of the colours pop!!.  Thanks for stopping by and as always please stop by the links below to see what my fellow creative team has to share.  Also be sure to check out what kits are available this month in the store....

Creative Inspiration Layout

Hello readers and welcome to my Mad About Scrappin Monday project share.  Today I have a layout that I have created using the papers .... from My Minds Eye Jubilee - "Adventure" Be Daring Paper.  These papers are from a recent kit I received from Leanne.  I just love the wooden floorboard background and it went perfectly with this pic of my son on his motorbike.

I have added some splatters to the background using some Lindy's Stamp Gang spray in Tibetan Poppy Teal and the black splatters are just some watery black acrylic paint that splattered on with a paintbrush.  

I have used large teal-ish coloured enamal dots, wooden "wow" icon,green bakers twine, buttons and a little "Enjoy Life" badge that were included in this kit. Well readers there isn't much more to tell so I will let the pictures do some of the talking.

 I have added a Kaisercraft rub-on to the one of the journalling spots and to the paper strip.

  

Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you have enjoyed this week's project.  As always guys....please check out the links below to see what other happenings have been going on over at Mad About Scrappin.

Layout - "Love"

Hello readers and welcome to my creative inspiration post.  Today I have a layout to share with you all.  This is my creative team inspiration for Mad About Scrappin.  I have used one of the kits that can be bought from the shop.  This kit is full of papers from Amercan Crafts - Shimelle and some really cute wooden icons, flowers and buttons.

I think this is the first time that I have ever used just plain cardstock as my back ground or base page.  I have also used a sketch that I found on pinterest.  I have hand sewn the circles and stamped some splodges and splatters on with Tim Holtz Black Soot Distress Ink.  I love how when this ink dries, it fades a little bit, making the stamping more subtle.

Here are all the glamour pics ...

I love this gorgeous fabric flower that was in the kit.....softened the corner of the polariod photo frame just nicely....

 For this corner accent I have used some of the leftover paper strip from the main layout.  Stamped "love you" and added some of the splatter stamping in Black Soot.  I really love the wooden heart, I feel it finished off the corner.

  Here is a close up of my hand sewing.  I was going to use my machine, but it just didn't like the card stock, so I resorted to doing it by hand.  Yes it is a little time consuming, but so worth the effort.  Don't you think?

 well readers that is it....we are back to the beginning.  Oh one more thing...that lovely arrow with the heart was cut from some black card stock on my Cameo and the "Love" title is a laser cut from previous kits.

  As always thanks for stopping by.  I sure do enjoy your company. Please be sure to check out the links below to see what my other creative team mates have been up to...

"Love You" Layout

Hello readers, welcome back.  Today I have a layout to share with you using a kit from Mad About Scrappin.  I recently received 3 kits from Leanne and gave her free reign of what she included.....and WOW guys she sent me some really awesome stuff to play with.....I couldn't wait to bust them open and play with everything.

All of the kits are comprised of papers from My Minds Eye - Jubilee and a great selection of embellishments.   So I decided that I would dive into this kit first!  

 The bright colours were out of my comfort zone, but sooooo inviting!! I just love how fresh and cheerful these papers felt.... This is what I came up with.

I have used the black card stock as my layout base, which I then topped with the vibrant Wild Berry "Today" inked paper.  I also cut into the Wild Berry "Life" diamonds paper to mat my photo and create the angled borders at the top and bottom.   I have distressed all the edges with a pair of scissors...I just love this look and I would have to say it is my favourite go to technique.  The bright pink card stock from my stash and it co-ordinates perfectly. 

 I have added a strip of the washi tape just under my photo mat and created my other go to favourite embellishing technique of the corner flower cluster.

 From the pink wire that was included in the embellie bag I create a rather primitive looking heart...I just worked this up freehand, which explains its wonky, uneven look, but I was happy with the outcome and tucked it in behind the rolled rose.  I added a small Polaroid frame to the "love" journalling tag and finished it off the corner with the "So Happy" button.

I think I have covered everything.  This was such a great layout and the papers have a vibrant happy feel to them.  Thanks for stopping by and as always please stop by the links below to see what my fellow creative team has to share.  Also be sure to check out what kits are available this month in the store....
