Happy Wednesday everyone!!!
A special Happy wedding anniversary to my best friend! ❤️❤️❤️
20 years of marriage we celebrate today and appropriately enough both of the layouts I feature today are all about Jason and I!!!!
I will apologise upfront for the terrible photos of my projects. They are not great, however, the weather here over the weekend was miserable and didn't help with the photos!!!
I have loved working with this gorgeous Kaisercraft collection this month, Stargazers. It is sensational!
When I first received it from Jo I was not sure how I would feel about it at all. I loved the colours but wasn't sure about the whole 'stargazers/space' theme to it.
My first layout to share with you today is of the two of us last year for our 19th wedding anniversary!
I have followed the challenge by using the challenge sketch and I have used two of the items...washi and stencils!
Here it is...
Whilst I used the sketch, I did make some alterations...only one photo!!!
Here is the sketch...
I have used a pattern paper from the Stargazers collection, gesso and distress ink with the cutest little stencil by Darkroom Door (Small Stencil) - Polka Dots
I added a variety of the patterned papers, some collectables from the Stargazer collection and assorted washi tape.
I added some gorgeous heart stickers from the American Crafts - Vicki Boutin - #Sticker Book.
My title is using the alpha stickers by Doodlebug - Loopy Lou. I think these were part of my stash and an older set of letters. I truly LOVE how this layout turned out and adore that patterned background paper.
I was at Scrapbookit over the weekend and I did spy some more Kaisercraft - Stargazers kits. Be sure to get in quick...I am sure you will love it!!!!
At our recent Scrapbookit Retreat, I also created another layout using the Stargazers collection.
I actually scraplifted Julie's layout (thanks Jules!)
Again, it is of Jason and I. However, this photo is a tiny bit older and was taken in 2010!
I started with a plain navy cardstock and applied some heavy gesso as well as some blue and black acrylic paint to create my background.
I added some of the patterned papers and a part of the large floral on the sticker sheet from the same collection.
I used two different heart stencils, the larger one Scrap FX Heart Confetti and Simon Says Stamp Falling Hearts Stencil, and some of the new Heidi Swapp Metallic Texture Paste - Silver. It is so fantastic to use! Easy to apply through the stencils and dries nicely.
I also painted the random chipboard heart with the texture paste.
I used one of the 2Crafty Chipboard Word Circles Set 2 chipboard circles and added the word 'forever.'
I finished my layout by adding collectables from the collection and heart and arrow stickers from the American Crafts - Vicki Boutin - #Sticker Book.
We have some fantastic entries for the June Challenge. There is still time though for you to get your entry in and to be in the running to win a voucher to spend at Scrapbookit!
