Family// Pretty Patterned Paper Playground Series



Hello Scrappy friends! Today's layout is for our Pretty Patterned Paper Playground series.  Katty and I usually take over each others YouTube channels for our process videos.  My layout is rather simple but I still used some mixed media as I usually do.



I first started off with a stencil from Americana called Segmented Circles along with Liquitex Black Lava medium.  I hauled the Black Lava product a few weeks ago from Blitsy and I've played with it a few times.  I find it to simply be gel medium with black glitter in it.  I like the contrast of it on the white card stock.



I then used my Silhouette Cameo and used a layered Poinsettia cut file that I cut twice, once on red glitter paper and again on red and white snowflake paper.  I alternated the papers to make the poinsettia interesting.  I added a gold enemal dot to the centers and arranged three on each side of the photo for balance.



My title is from Pebbles from a Jen Hadfield collection I hauled from Tuesday Morning.  I matteed my photo on gold paper to have it pop. The photo I am scrapping is once again from my sisters trip to Florida and my dad hoped into this one.  I kept the photo black and white in order to keep all the elements of color on the layout.



My last detail were in adding Nuvo Crystal drops in Bright Gold and Golden Sunset all around the photo and flowers.  It adds tiny details while you look at this layout.
Thank you for joining us.  Here is my short process video. 


Happy Holidays// Spiegelmom Scraps DT


Hello Scrappy Peeps! Welcome back for another wintery inspired layout for the holiday season. I have tons of pictures to scrap from my sisters visit to Florida this year.  We are twinning in matching T-shirts.  I used the snowflakes from the free cut file from the Spiegelmom Scraps blog for this layout.  I took the time to heat emboss some with white and opal powders.


My background patterned paper is from American Crafts Deck the Halls and its called Advent Calendar.  The back of this paper had all the numbers but I wanted to use this gray side with white snowflakes.  I gessoed my page in a diagonal and used mint and light blue sprays in my collections, Mad Hatter Mint from Lindy Stamp gang and Jeni B Bleu from Shimmerz.


A few large silver snowflakes were added to the embellishments and they are from the Dollar store.  The diagonal arrangement of all the snowflakes has a lovely impact for the layout.


I added my journaling on a white tag and layered tangled thread in white, gray and aqua for more interest.


And a layout for me is not complete these days without adding sequins.  These stars, red and green ones are from the Holly Jolly collection from the Spiegelmom Scraps.  Process video is in editing.



Sparkle// Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout


Its the most wonderful time of the year.  I simply love the holiday season because my sister always comes for a visit and family time is priceless.  This holiday season we managed to surprise my mom with Lianna's visit.  Best gift we could have arranged.  Winter times also means Starbucks famous red cups.  This year I saved 3 of them in hopes of creating a layout with them.  I even kept the Starbucks logo and my drink order sticker on the circles.


I used 3 different sized circle punches, 2", 1.5" and a 1".  I loved all the doodle marks and illustration on this years cups.  I made sure to keep a lot of the drawing visible.


I gessoed the middle section and used my mint green colored mist in my collection, Mad Hatter Mint from Lindy Stamp gang, Cracked Pistachio from Distress Stains and Mint Color Shine.  I even added some splatter marks.



To have a bit more contrast I used some black and white patterned circles from my scraps.  I tucked them behind some of the red and I pulled more mint green colors as well.  Since there was color with all my embellishments I printed my lovely photos of my sister and I kissing my mom is black and white.  I did some light journaling below my photo to complete my layout.  Process video linked below.
