My Scraps and More: Life is Wonderful

Hello!  Hope this finds you well!  I am sharing a favorite layout today that I made for
My Scraps and More using the new Bella Blvd Color Chaos collection. I love how this turned out!  I started with the Right On Target cut file from The Cut Shoppe. I then used a few of the fun patterns to fill portions of the circle.  

I then added in some of the Color Chaos chipboard pieces as well as my own enamel dots from my stash. 

I also added in some fun flair from {a flair for buttons}!  

Showing some of the coordinating Trinket Stickers from Color Chaos!

Thank your for reading!  The My Scraps and More shop has lots of fun pieces from the Color Chaos collection to choose from!

Have a great day!

My Scraps and More: The Best Day Ever

Hello and happy Monday!  Today, I have a layout I created for My Scraps and More using the Simple Stories' collection Life Documented.  I love this line as its full of bright colors and fun patterns. As always, there are a lot of great coordinating embellishments as well!  

My title is from the Silhouette shop and white cardstock.  It is cut file #37633

   designed by Lori Whitlock.    For my background, I cut out the large chevron pattern from the Stitched in Time page. 

Showing the cute banner chipboard piece as well as coordinating enamel dots and die cuts. 

More chipboard and die cuts, including the coordinating tags.   I love the multicolored camera!  

I used one of the fun photo clips on the side of my pic and adhered with a staple. 

I created a banner at the top of my page with two of my hand punches as well as added more die cuts and a cute chipboard arrow.

Clear Scraps: I Am Mini Album

Hello! Today I am sharing a mini album I created with Clear Scraps new Little Bits Mixable Album and Simple Stories' I Am collection.  This cute album is only 3.5x5 inches with alternating acrylic and chipboard pages!

I used a small amount of white acrylic paint to line the edges of my pages to give some pop.  I love how it turned out; especially around the acrylic pages.  

This small album is perfect for your favorite quotes or Instagram photos. I used the album to put down some affirmations.  I Am is the perfect collection and there are so many fun embellishments!

Thanks for reading! Have a blessed Sunday!

Clear Scraps and Pion Designs

Hello! This week the Clear Scraps design team is pairing up with Pion Designs!  For my project, I altered the new Small Regular Portrait Clipboard with Pion Designs' Vintage Wedding and From Grandma's Attic Vintage Cut Outs.  

I used one of the Butterfly Mixers to accent my clipboard and affixed a jewel in the center. 

To color my butterfly, I used two different colors of Ranger Alcohol Ink. You can apply with either an applicator or by dripping directly onto the acrylic. 

To give my butterfly some sparkle, I added some Tattered Angels Glimmer Glam after the alcohol ink was dry. 

Here is a close up of my background I created with the 6 inch Diamonds Mascil.

 Here is how I created my background! First, I secured my Mascil to my paper using washi tape. I then applied a thin layer of modeling paste. 

Keeping the Mascil in place, I lightly sprayed with spray inks. Feel free to experiment and use multiple colors!  

Here is my end result!  

I also used spray ink some old Maya Road chipboard letters I had in my stash!  

For bonus, I created a card too using the Heart Send It Clear Card!  

I colored one of the birds from the Clearly Accent Bird and Cage Embellishments with Ranger Alcohol ink.  

For my background, I used the 6 inch Damask Mascil with modeling paste.  

My stamped sentiment is from the Technique Tuesday Studio AE stamp set "Loving Words".  

Thanks for stopping by! There is lots of inspiration all week at the Clear Scraps blog! Also, visit the Clear Scraps shop for these products and a lot more! Have a great day!

Paper Camellia: Love

Hello! It's Monday and another week has begun!  I hope its off to a good start! Today, I'm sharing a layout I created with Paper Camellia's April Main Kit! This month's kit is full of Crate Paper, Pebbles, and My Mind's Eye!

I used the "love" from the American Crafts Celebrate Thickers.   There are so many different words as well as numbers.  I layered some of the acetate Maggie Holmes' Confetti ephemera under my photo as well. 

My cut file is designed by fellow design team member, Sherri Funk!  I think it is so cute and I had to use it!  I added different patterned papers in random circles using a hand punch.  I also added some of the gold Confetti enamel shapes, as well. 

I layered one of the My Mind's Eye On Trend stickers under my photo as well as added a gold acetate ephemera piece from Crate Paper.  

Showing some of the chipboard accents from Confetti as well as a cute pennant sticker from My Mind's Eye.

Loving the acetate pennants from Confetti...I added them to the top of my page and stitched through.
