The Paper Addict

For The Love Of Paper

Hello Baby

I’m here today with another layout for Scrapbook Challenges using one of our daughters newborn photos.  This took a totally different turn than the sketch, but I LOVE how it came out.

 Except for the sequins and doily all these products come from Simple Stories.  The doily was a plain white one from my stash that I colored with Tim Holtz Broken China distress paint and my waterbrush.  It matches the blue in the paper perfectly.  
Thanks for checking out my layout, and as always…if you participate please leave me a link so I can be sure to check it out.

First Wink Layout

Thank you for joining me for another reveal for Scrapbook Challenges.  As you can tell I’ve really been enjoying the challenges this month and have gotten so much done.  
This is another sketch challenge and of course I had to alter it.  I rotated the sketch and moved the title.  Where I used the two 3×4 pocket cards is where the title was intended to go. 
 
The wink of my title was plain wood veneer.  I took some acrylic pain I had laying around and painted it to match my journalling card.  
I also don’t know if you can tell in the photo, but I stitched down each side of the block like the dotted lines in the sketch. 
I really love how you can take a sketch, and alter it slightly, to make it work for your photos.

Ornaments and Presents Layout

     Hi everyone and welcome to the February Scrapping our Stash blog hop.  You should have arrived here from Katrina’s page.  Didn’t she make an awesome project!?

     For my project I pulled out another of my old Scrapbook Generation kits.  I have been working hard on getting these used up to make room in my stash.  I only have about three layouts to print pictures for!  
    This particular project features products from Simple Stories and pictures of our son and my hubby from Christmas two years ago.  This was one year that his Christmas gift still gets played for regularly!
    Next up you want to hop on over to see Allison’s wonderful creation.  Before you go though I’d love for you to leave a comment and follow me…all my links can be found on the right.  Have a great day!

The Best Layout

So I’m back today with a stash busting layout inspired by sketch 472 from Scrapbook Challenges. There is a little bit of everything on this layout. The background paper is from my February my Creative Scrapbook Kit.  The paper under the photo is from Simple Stories.  The washi, wood veneer and stars are from Freckled Fawn.  The fiber and OX symbol are from Studio Calico. 
The grey dot is modeling paste mixed with grey paint and put through a swiss dot stencil.  The wood veneer also was plain when I started.  I smeared some pink Gelato on them and then moved it around with an aqua brush.  I then dried with my heat tool, and added a second layer to intensify the color and have it offer a contrast from the pink in the washi.  
This is a totally different, and girly, layout for me, but I’m very pleased with how it came out.  I’d love your comments!

Zoo Fun

Welcome to my first completed layout of 2016.  Hope you have had a great start to the new year. 
This layout has several new things for me…gesso and the packaging technique that I learned from Adele at Inkie Quill’s videos.  So I used gesso on the page and them some modeling paste.  I  took some mist on a piece of old packaging, added water, and them smooshed it over the modeling paste.  I wanted to mimic the splashes the penguin was making in he water on the zoo smart car.
The paper is from an old Lawn Fawn collection called into the woods.  I didn’t have any embellishments from this collection…if it even had any…so I cut some of the critters from the paper to use.  I figured they were appropriate since the page was about a trip to the zoo.
I used a sketch from Stuck?Sketches and then used some Simple Stories photo flap thingies to add more photos. The journalling is also under the floppy thing so that the memory is there, but not adding to the busyness of the layout.
Hope you enjoyed my attempt at trying something new!
