so very lovely Layout - Shop and Crop Kit club

Hi there,

Today I'm sharing a baby layout of my daughter eve ,with a few leftover bits of patterned papers 

and stickers from the carta Bella collection it's a girl 

I had this bright yellow polka dot patterned paper I wanted to use as the boarder around my white cardstock 

Then I machine stitched around the edge of my cardstock to create a stitched border 

Then I wanted to add some paint before adding my photo and flowers 

I used a paint brush and some samco pink paint I had in my stash and mixed it with a little bit of gesso to lighten it so it would be a softer color then I brushed it on then aloud it to dry naturally after it was dry I added some dark pink splats and some yellow across the background then aloud to dry and added the stencil across the background 

Then aloud that to dry then it was time to embellish the layout with flowers and stickers 

Here is my process video I hope you enjoy it

And here is some close ups of my layout

Summer Sunshine Layout

Hi there,

Today I'm sharing a layout I created just having a play with some primamarketing St. tropez and free spirit 

My favorite thing todo is to fussy cut flowers and add them around my photo and background 

I've been loving using black gesso and a paint brush lately for my background using paint strokes as a feature on the background really makes the patterned paper pop

Then I added a stencil tubaroses with some light pink textured paste

Across the paint strokes to add more dimension and colour 

Then I started to add all the fussy cut flowers at the top and bottom of my layout 

I added my photo in the center and using some patterned paper for some layers behind my photo 

And tucking some of the fussy cut flowers around the photo 

And I added some die cut doilies around the photo tucked just under the layers 

I also added some pink flowers from the rose quartz collection because I only had 3 flowers left over 

I separated the bottom petals and added a bit of bling in one and tucked it under the top right corner of my photo 

I added chipboard for my title and a little bow in the top left hand corner of the photo 

I found a butterfly stamp I had and stamped it 3 times and covered it in clear embossing powder and heat embossed it 

And added it in 3 places on my layout

layout and travelers notebook page | shop and crop kit club

Hi there 

Happy Wednesday today I'm sharing a layout and travelers notebook page 

Using this months kaisercraft kit patterned papers 

I Love surfing Pinterest for ideas and I found this fabulous layout and really loved the way the paint was used so check out her fabulous page 

I've used the same design idea but really wanted to add lots of fussy cutting to it and change it up a bit 

And adding more clusters that I like to do 

I love white space, and really wanted it to be very clustered 

around the photo and the embellishments at the top of the layout 

For the black paint strokes I used colour blast heavy back gesso 

And with the watercolour droplets I used the colour blast shimmer cubes in bling and green apple 

From my stash I used fancy pants puffy alphas 

And for my second project 

I created a travelers notebook page using more of the golden grove collection 

My photo was taken on Christmas Eve 2 years ago on my daughter mel's birthday we decided a funny photo to mark the day would be fun so we all pulled funny faces 

I added lots of fussy cutting of flowers around the edges 

And tucked some underneath my photo 

Adding clusters at the bottom of the photo and my title on the other side of the page 

I hope you have enjoyed my layout inspiration today

Lovely Layout | Make it Prima Challenge

Hi there ,

So tonight while everyone was watching a TVs show that I wasn't that fussed on I decided to join in on the fabulous make it prima challenge for my layout I'm using St. Tropez collection 

And also wanted to incorporate one of my cut file butterflies 

I started off with the fabulous wood paneling as my background 

Then I stencilled tuberoses stencil across the background using texture paste 

Then I cut out my butterfly using white cardstock and my cameo and add some watercolour colours to it

Then I back it with more patterned papers from the collection 

Then I fussy cut a few flowers from another patterned paper putting them around the butterfly 

Then I stuck the butterfly down using double sided foam tape to give it dimension 

Then I added my photo of my fur buddy kush and then embossed it with white embossing powder 

a 2 crafty chipboard heart to go around the Photo and then started add more fussy cut flowers 

And other flowers from the collection to add more colour I tuck so puffy stickers around the flowers 

And added some ephemera for my title and to cluster at the bottom of the butterfly 

Here is a close up of my photo and my clustering of the fussy cut flowers and other Prima flowers

Sweet Flowers | Doodlebug Design DT

Hi their, 

sharing my take on the fun sketch from Becky at page maps

When I first looked at the sketch I wasn't sure what colours I was going to choose for my layout but I had this photo of Mother's Day flowers 

And thought it would be perfect to think about lovely weather instead of cold and wet

Once I had the photo I come up with a colour palette for my layout 

Grey,pink,green,white,teal and a touch of yellow , I wanted to keep the layout clean 

I started with the background using the grey gingham patterned paper 

Then using the sweet little polka dot patterned paper for the center 

Then I started with the cluster at the top of the layout 

Adding a white mini doily and layers of stripes of patterned paper and machine stitching I also made a tab from a die cut then stapled it to the layers then adding part of my title 

and to top it off with a flower doodlepop and using some heart shape sprinkles to tie in the colours 

To tie in more of the colours at the bottom of my layout I added a die cut from the odds and ends pack 

And adding more of the fun shape sprinkles around the die cut 

Then I added a few patterned papers tucked behind my photo layers 

Att the bottom left hand corner of my photo I created a little cluster of hearts with another tab and 

Shape sprinkles and adding the rest of my title 

And here you can see a close up of my photo of the Mother's Day flowers 

Here is my supply list 

5475 honeybee Doodle pop

3435 lily white teensy type cardstock stickers 

4605 lily white mini doilies

More Prima fun...

Hi there,

So last month prima marketing had their yearly call and I was excited about entering this year

I feel my crafting and photography is way better then last year I feel I have more to offer this year and my term on the kaisercraft team has come to a end after 5 years it's been fun but I really ready for a new and exciting adventure where ever it takes me so I thought I would take part in the Prima call...fingers crossed 

So here is one of the layouts I created just for the call I wanted to just do a layout simple no mediums like paint or gesso just clean and simple 

I really enjoyed playing with this collection bringing in the brights with the lighter colours 

I love just playing with paper but this collection is lovely! 

My daughter finally got her braces in may 

And here is a card I created using the softer tones in the st tropez collection 

But of course prima flowers are beautiful and make the card pop

And I love creating stuff for my daughters 

This year my youngest daughter is beginning to try her hand at makeup so I made her a makeup brush box 

For all her brushes 

And this one was a little idea I had for some cute Decor 

That I want to create, jut love those little pink flowers 

And watercolour just love sitting on the couch and colouring in 

So I thought I would give this prima watercolour freebie colouring page a go

And here is another one I coloured as I wanted to use different colours and lighter using watercolour pencils 

While sitting on the couch with hubby binge watching ER ......
