Beautiful Moments// Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Hello scrappy peeps!! Welcome back to my blog for a bright layout beginning on colored card stock.  I need to do more layouts on colored card stock.  It turned out great and I love the white contrast from the bright blue.  I am still in the middle of scrapping photos of me and my sister during her recent trip to Florida.

I used Spun Sugar Dazzler texture paste from Shimmerz through my 6x6 'Art Is' stencil from the Crafters workshop first.  Once dried I layers ribbon, dollies, wrapping paper and crepe paper ruffles for a lot of texture and interest.

I added Wedding Bells sequins from the Spiegelmom Scraps shops for the contrast of white to my layout.

I sprayed Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Navy and Peacock onto the word 'beautiful' for the title and used the aqua Fitzgerald font for the word 'Moments'.  I added a piece of flair from Feed Your Craft with a nest of white tangled thread behind it.

I Love Today// Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

I simply love mixed media for my scrapbook layouts.  There is something about making each page my own and this is one of those moments.  I love experimenting with different art supplies and applying new techniques to see if it works.  Another lovely picture of my sister and I during her vacation here in Florida.  We are not twins but we sure do look a lot alike.

MAMBI has folded wrapping paper booklets available at The Ink Road that I ripped into three stripes from different patterned papers.  I adhered them with collage medium from Ranger.  I painted the edges with light blue, mints, greens and some pink.

I then used heavy gloss gel through a Dylusion stencil for the flowers and applied loose glitter on top of the get before it dried.  This part may have been a little too much for the layout but hind sight is always 20/20.

The white flourishes are from Wilna's blog that I cut on white card stock.  I love the black phrase of the title to contrast against the busy layout.  The "I love today" is from Amy Tangerines, Better Together collection.  I added a flair from Feed Your Craft and finished my layout with black India ink.  My process video is below for you to view.

Best Mom// Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout

Hello Scrappy Peeps!!  A fun cheerful layout for you using the Fancy Pants Minnie and June collection again.  I love scrapping photos of my mom and I, and this one is no different.  I used a lot of my scrap pieces of collection for this layout.

I layered them vertically and horizontal and it created an area of intersection where my photo would rest.  I applied clear gesso in order to add some mixed media from my pink tone mists.

I added the empherma pieces from the same collection and added some elements from Maggie Holmes Bloom collection including some washi stripes and the 3D flowers.  I gold heat embossed butterfly wood veneer for a pop of gold and added come splatters to finish this layout.  I added a bit of journaling and added a few gold heart sequins for added detail.

Best Ever// Spiegelmom Scraps DT

Hello my wonderful scrapbook friends! Today's layout is for the Spiegelmom Scraps shop.  She offers a large variety of gorgeous sequins and other embellishments.  On this layout I am featuring Autumn Joys sequins.  I am scrapping two identical photo stripes of  my mom and I acting silly.

I started off with light pinky/beige card stock and adhered stripes of text from a book with Dina Wakely Gel Medium.  Color Shine splatters were then added in Peach, Coral and Gold for added interest to the background.  My title was going to be this huge wood veneer piece I had from Heidi Swapp.  So I gold heat embossed it first to have it be the pop factor on my page.

I then decided on the placement of the wood veneer and drew a circle with pencil.  I adhered the Autumn Joy sequins in this area.  I wanted the sequins to pop from behind the wood veneer.  And for more impact I added alternating colors around the other edge of the circle.  This really makes the focal point special on this layout.

I finished off the layout with a few floral die cuts from the Wildflowers collection from WRMK, coral tangled thread and sheer cream bows at the top and bottom of the photo stripes.  Scrapping pictures of my mom and me never gets old.  Remember to use Evi15 at checkout for a discount on your purchases.

Beautiful Sisters// SpiegelMom Scraps DT

Hello scrappy ladies!!  Welcome to the Labor Day Weekend Triple Hop.  We have amazing guest designers for this weekend hop featuring new embellishment products available at the shop.  The sequins at the Spiegelmom Scraps are all gorgeous and adding them to your layouts will add a bit of shine and sparkle.  I am featuring the new release pack Mocha Mint Dream.  The colors determined the colors used in my background.

I started out with a stencil from Dylusions called Dotted Flowers and used Heavy Gloss Gel from Golden.  This process takes a time to dry.  Sweet Mint, Robin's Egg Blue, light pink, vanilla and peach are the acyrlic paint colors I added for the background.

I have a black and white paper pad from MAMBI that I used to cut out the large letters for the word 'Sisters' and the 'Beautiful' was fuzzy cut out of a paper from the pad as well.  To add more black and white contrast I matted the layout on a patterned paper from Studio Calico from the Amelia collection.

I matted my photo with the gorgeous sequins from the Mocha Mint Dream pack.  I randomly went around with Tomboy Mono Liquid glue, making sure two of the same were never together.  Then, I randomly placed more sequins around the top half of the layout.

The photo I am scrapping is of my sister and I blowing bubblegum perfectly times to snap a photo.  I am shorter then her and you can clearly see that in the photo.  The layout turned out beautiful and I am so happy with it.  Here is my process video to watch.
