Webster's Pages "Beautiful Chic" for All About Scrapbooks / Scrap Around The World Feb Challenge

 

Hello everyone....I hope your weekend is off to a great start!

 

Today I am back to share my 2nd Feb DT layout for All About Scrapbooks, using the lovely

"Beautiful Chic" collection from Webster's Pages.  As you will see, this page is so very different from my first page....showing just how versatile this collection is :)

I am really enjoying creating with this one!

 

 

My layout is based on the February mood board at Scrap Around The World

 

 

"A Very Good Day"

What inspired me the most about this months SATW mood board, was all those gorgeous greens!!!

So, I have picked out the greens from a variety of the Beautiful Chic papers,

and this is what I ended up with :)

 

Also, the image of the boat on the mood board prompted me to use this photo I took while we were exploring the grounds of Ashford Castle in Ireland...it was a gorgeous setting of an inlet of the lake with this rustic looking boat shed with a few boats moared along side it - it is one of my fav shots from our trip!

 

 

 

 

 

This is the gorgeous Scrap Around The World Feb mood board.....

 

 

 

 

And now a few close ups.....

Lots of 2Crafty chipboard & gorgeous blooms from Green Tara & Petaloo!

The lime Green bits are from the Beautiful Chic Vellum sheet..it was actually a frame that I cut in half lengthways & then placed offset from each other, at the top & bottom of my other layers.

 

 I love those 2Crafty Line Words...they are great to use as titles!

The greens in this paper collection are just gorgeous!

 

 More 2Crafty - Flying Birds <3

and here you can also see the lime green vellum frame I mentioned earlier :)

 

I really love the paper I've used for my background...hence why I've used it as so (fav papers always get used for my backgrounds!).  It is basically white, with lots of fabulous grey cracks.....which means you can basically do just about anything with it!!

 

 Another vellum piece...the teal green banner/flag.

And ooops...I just noticed there's a sequin hidden in underneath it - it was meant to be on top!

(off to go fix that now)

 

Here you can see a bit of the background work (details are over on the AAS blog - link below)

 

 

The 2Crafty Messy Squares frame in behind the photo, frames it up perfectly!

 

 

And here is a close up of the main area of the page :) 

 

 

This is a really beautiful collection that I highly recommend!

The papers are nice & thick, which is great when adding mixed media, as there is no buckling & warping like you get on thinner papers!  Plus the colours & patterns are amazing!

Webster's Pages "Beautiful Chic" for All About Scrapbooks / Sketchabilities Sketch #132

Hi again peeps :)))

I am back with the start of my February DT work for All About Scrapbooks...this month I will be creating with the gorgeous "Beautiful Chic" range from Webster's Pages.

 

I think you'll agree that the colours in this one are just divine?!

The patterns are pretty awesome too!

 

 

My page is based on sketch #132 at Sketchabilities

 

"Those Eyes" 

The background paper that I've used is just amazing - the reverse side of "Alphabetize"......the peeled paint & revealing wood underneath is just so real looking!  I didn't want to cover it up too much, so have basically left it as is, with just a few splashes of mists!

 

 

Here is the gorgeous sketch at Sketchabilities

 

 

And a few close ups...

 

Beautiful Green Tara & Petaloo flowers <3

 

 

Love the vellum sheets that come with this collection!  The little tag on the far left is cut from the "Frame & Icon Cards" vellum sheet...and there's a heap more fabulous pieces on this 12x12 sheet, including the pink frame that is around the photo

 

Also some 2Crafty ATC Butterflies <3

And more 2Crafty Chevron Bits - love these!

 

 

And because I can never get enough 2Crafty on my pages,

here is another piece - 6" Clock Face Frame

 

 

The lattice piece running in under the photo is cut from the Jillibean Soup 12x12 Lattice placemat...love this stuff too!

 

Pic is of my gorgeous little Great Niece, Olivia....who is growing up way too fast!

She no longer looks like a baby at all, instead, very much like a little girl <3

 

Well that is all from me for today.

Prima Epiphany - for All About Scrapbooks

Hi Everyone :)

 

Today I am sharing the last of my layouts for January, using the

Prima Epiphany collection for All About Scrapbooks. 

 

I have REALLY loved working with this beautiful collection....and love how I've been able to create a bit outside my normal scrapping style as well. 

 

For me, a particular style of paper seems to determine the style & techniques I use on a layout - ie: if I was creating with say one of Simple Stories, more brighter collections, I would not create the style of layouts that I have with Prima Epiphany....does that make sense? & is anyone else like that? 

 

Anyways...on with my layout

 

"Binalong Bay"

The pic is from our getaway to Tassie a few years ago in the amazing Bay of Fires area on the east coast of Tassie....if you ever get the chance to go to Tassie, this area is a MUST!

It is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!

 

 

Here's a few close ups....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Rather than me repeating everything about this layout....as I am feeling way behind the 8 ball this past week or so - just pop on over to the AAS blog HERE where you can read about all the details, products etc on this layout :)

 

Thanks so much for visiting today :)  xx

Kraft Plus February Challenge.......

Hello everyone and welcome :)

 

I know there are LOTS of scrappers out there who have been waiting with anticipation
for the first ever Kraft Plus challenge to go live.

Well, the wait is over ladies & gentleman...today is reveal day of the very first challenge!!

 

I present to you.....Mango Breeze Colour Inspiration Challenge!

 

Aren't the colours & image just gorgeous & yummy...and also inspiring & soooo summery?!?!

 

*please note, this is NOT a mood board where you have to use the photo as inspiration,

this is purely a colour challenge. You can add touches of black, white or neutral for titles and journalling etc and you don't necessarily have to use ALL of the colours.

It is up to you how you interpret the challenge.

 

But most importantly

Your work MUST be on a KRAFT BASE to be eligible.

 

You can read the RULES over on the Kraft + blog HERE

 

Now for the fun part :))) 

Here is my take on the first challenge....

 

 

"Dingle Town"

 

I was inspired by ALL the colours of the colour challenge & have included them all on my page, in some form or another....either in the papers, embellishments & mists on the background.

 

 

And a few close ups...

Some 2Crafty Chipboard - who just happens to be one of the sponsors this month!

Funky Leaf Swirls

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My photos are from our trip to Ireland last year...an amazing, vibrant little town called Dingle Town!

I thought the colours went well with the colour challenge :)

 

 

I hope you have been inspired by our first challenge & have your Kraft lined up & ready to go!!!

We would LOVE to see you enter our first challenge!

 

To be even more inspired, pop on over to the Kraft Plus blog HERE to see the rest of the DT's amazing take on Mango Breeze....you won't want to miss it, and you won't be disappointed!

 

Now....off you go! LOL

 

Until next time...xx
