Neat and Crafty


Hey there,
So Friday night I decided to get a little messy with some watercolour from Prima well they are the art alchemy liquid acrylic paints and they work so well with water so I just used them as a watercolour  and the colours matched this pattern paper from shimelle sparkle city fresh flowers , I’m loving the bright colours of the collections ... I haven’t got all the colours of the paint but I hope Anna decides to add more colours to her collection as they are amazing....


And what’s crazy I didn’t even use any gesso to cover the cardstock first I just went for it and I liked how it turned out..so I might have to do a little video about these awesome paints..




Check out my gallery at scrapbook.com for the links to the products I’ve used

Crafty hugs..xx

Hey there,
Happy Wednesday!! Today I thought I would just chill out in my scrap studio and create while it wet and cold outside....using up more of that beautiful horizon collection from Paige Evans and cut files 
So my idea for this layout was to use that magenta colour as the border but I didn’t want to use all of the paper up just on a background of my white cardstock so using my cameo 3 and a heart background I centred it and trimmed off some so I could back the border and I found some cardstock of the same colour and added it behind the white cardstock and machine stitched them all together 

Then I matted my photo on a few pattern papers and added a few doilys and a die cut behind my photo layers 
Then using a flower cut file from Paige I cut out several flower shapes and layered them and added a Prima flower in the centre for that pop of blue and a bow to the centre to add extra texture and layer 
Then I added a paper clip and glittered tab to my photo 


Next I added the flowers on 3 corners of my photo and leaves tucking them underneath the flowers 
I added more yellow Prima flowers to add more pops of yellow and then I added my title 
And little punched flowers with rhinestone centres 





It was a fun and simple process and I love how it turned out 
Thanks for stopping by my blog

Hi there, 
Today I’m sharing a layout I created for a fun challenge over at Anna’s craft cupboard group on Facebook 
The challenge was to use washi tape... so I decided I would use it like patterned paper 
Using a heart cut file from the silhouette design store I cut out on white cardstock then cut out a second heart shape to cover the back of the hearts and then I covered the heart with washi from the poetic Rose collection 

Then adhered it to the back of the layout and machine stitched around the heart shape to add a stitched heart
Then I used another cutfile Design from the silhouette design store from Paige Evans cutting it into 3 pieces and layering it on to of each other and backing it with pink cardstock and adding a crepe paper ruffle 


I then used double sided foam tape to adhere it to the layout ove the heart
Then I matted my photo oh some patterned papers from the poetic Rose collection and add double sided foam tape to the back to pop it off the background I then fussy cut a few flowers and add them to the photo along with a few flowers 
Along with a gold glitter thickers for my title an few bit of blin and a flick of paint to finish it off






Thanks for stopping by my blog..xx

Hi there,
Happy Friday!! Today I’m sharing a layout created using the new stencil brushes and jumbo sponge daubers 
They are both great for applying mediums to cards and scrapbook layouts or just fun craft projects 
The big stencil brushes are great for just using as a big paint brush, specially with watercolor as the brush can hold a lot of water and the jumbo sponge dauber are great as you have more of a handle to hold onto while blending of just added colour to a stencil..
Anyway here is the layout I created with these products and it was a fun process 


I wanted to document this photo as each spring in our garden all the little double bar finches build nests in our lemon tree, and it’s not like it’s just a few the tree gets full of nests and it’s a really beautiful thing to see and hear when the babies hatch.....

Here are some close ups of my layout

Hey,
today sharing my week 22 of 52 faves 
I’m using the crate paper flourish collection to decorate my TN spread
I also like to use up prima flowers I’ve pulled apart that are on the flatter side for my TN spreads as it’s less bulky.... and it’s easy to add a little center bit to the middle just by adding some bling






Here is a process video of how I created my Travelers notebook and spread week 22
