13Arts Guest Designer for June

I actually can't believe I am writing this post. I have always wanted to design for teams such as 13@rts but never in my wildest dreams did I ever think it would come true! But here I am ...... Guest Designing for one of my favourite companies.

Do you know how nervous I was creating this layout? Probably a lot more nervous than I needed to be!
My inspiration for the project came from both the beautiful paper created by my talented friend Jelissa May. this one is called "Summer Snow" and it is from her newly released collection Mental Vacation . The colours are so amazing I had to take advantage of them. My other inspiration was the Mask Stencil Tattered Circles that goes along with the collection also designed by Jelissa. I love circles at the best of times so it made my job easy!
Once I had added the circles using the 13@rts Modeling Paste I then created the rest of the background using the Ayeeda Mist Pastel Lime. I simply took the lid off and dipped my brush in and painted some different sized circles.
I also added some colour by spraying some Ayeeda Mist Pastel Turquoise and allowing it to run down the page. I also added some sprinkles over the background with this mist by removing the lid and using the mist on the spray tube to flick it over my page.
I added some texture by combining some glass beads with the 13@rts Coloured Grit Light Blue and Glass Microspheres D2 all mixed together and adhered using the Gel Medium Matte onto some circles I punched out. I also added some Ayeeda Paint Matte Turquoise over the top to help them blend in.

Lastly I flicked some Acrylic SPLASH Ink in the black, added some washi tape, a couple of die cut feathers, some branch chippies and some ScrapBerry's adhesive gems to finish it all off.

Thank you so much for popping in. See you again soon xx


SATW June Mid Month Reveal

Happy mid month reveal! As you are aware, Scrap Around the World have two design team reveals a month. Here is the second ....... the mid month reveal!

And here is my creation from the awesome moodboard created by the very talented Veera Saarivuo.
Such a soft pretty board, my challenge ..... scrap my son!


I'm not hung up on what can or can not be put on a boy page. My son is a beautiful person who has a soft gentle nature just like this moodboard. his soul is a very happy one and he has the knack of creating happiness all around him from the inside out!


I had such fun creating this page. I stole the chevron paper from my scrappy bestie Sandi knowing it would suit this board perfectly! The conversation pretty much went "Ooooh that's perfect ...... can I have it?" and she of course said yes :) as scrappy besties do xx

 I added some gorgeous 2Crafty chipboard pieces coated in my favourite embossing powder Tinby Designs" Metallic Melts!
 I incorporated the quote from the moodboard. I simply printed it onto photo paper in colour and trimmed the bits I wanted to add them to my layout.
I made the rosettes my self as I don't have a die for them. I simply cut a strip of paper and folded it concertina style then brought the two ends together and Hey Presto! a rosette.

I'm loving experimenting with different paper background designs. This one was purely an accident. I often "gather" all of my bits before I start creating. I had chosen my papers and had pretty much thrown them onto my table. I was then in the process of choosing my embellishments when I turned to pop some flowers onto the pile I was gathering on the table I saw that the papers had aligned themselves in this fashion. I simply swiveled the top paper slightly and BANG! it was done. I reached for the glue stick so quickly before it moved LOL!

Happy accidents! I hope you join in with the challenge this month.

2Crafty Chipboard share for June "Live Life"

My last 2Crafty Chipboard piece to share with you this month is a regular layout but with a bright and fun colour combo!

"Live Life"

 2Crafty Chipboard pieces used


"Squiggly Heart Cluster"
"Circle Revolution"
"Family Symbols"
"Mini Tags"


I absolutely love purple and orange together. I tend to find myself using a lot of orange in my scrapbooking. I definitely think it's my orange haired children's influence. This one is no exception. This is my son, looking cool in summer!

For the background I had a bit of a play with my water colours and then added some bright colour coordinated patterned paper to top it off.


After creating the background I added my chipboard elements. The purple dude from the "Family symbols" is covered in purple bazzill card stock and then stamped on with the same stamp I used on the background.


The "Suqiggly Heart Cluster" is painted with black acrylic paint but I've also "parted" them .... I wanted the piece to follow the shape of my corner .... so I trimmed it. Hey .... that's what I love about chippies, they are so versatile!


The "Mini Tags" were covered in scraps of coordinating patterned paper and placed under the photo layers so they just poked out enough to be seen. Then I finished it all off by popping the largest of the "Circle Revolution" around the whole composition. My absolute favourite 2Crafty Chipboard piece!


Thank you for popping in to check out my creations. If you want to purchase some of this yummy chippy then visit the website to check out your local stockist. I'll see you all again next month.
