I Will Always Love You

Morning Everyone,

Well, I hope that the Easter Bunny found you all and you enjoyed your Easter!

I am here again to remind you about our April monthly challenge and to share with you another layout that I have created with the Kaisercraft P.S. I Love You collection.

Have you started creating your challenge entry? Entries close on the 30th of April...you still have plenty of time if you haven't.

Remember this month is all about the double layout! A great way to scrap a sequence of photos! There is a sketch from PageMaps to follow.

You also need to include texture, stamping and some flowers (in any form you wish - be creative!).

You can enter your challenge via our blog using the InLinkz linkup, via our Facebook page or you can email it to Joanne at joanne@scrapbookit.com.au

I can't wait to see what you create.

When Jo first gave me the P.S. I Love You Collection I felt very overwhelmed. If you know me, ideas for pinks and all things girly when scrapbooking don't particularly come naturally.

I was glad though to be able to use these papers to highlight some of my wedding photos and other photos of Jason and I. 

Whilst I yet again haven't followed the requirements of the April Challenge, I have loved playing around with some newer products and some colours that I don't necessarily always feel comfortable using...so definitely getting out of my comfort zone!

Here is what I have created...

We had these photos taken whilst in Disney World, Florida in September 2015.

I started this layout with a blank canvas (White Cardstock) and added some of the new Tim Holtz - Distress Oxide Inks blending both Worn Lipstick and Iced Spruce. I love these inks and love what you can do with them. It is very hard to see in any of the photos but I then used a baby wipe and my Kaiser Mini Template - Rough Grid. The baby wipe took away the ink where I rubbed it and left a paler, and in some places, a bleached image from the template.

I then used some Impasto Gel Medium through the Kaiser Mini Template - Rough Grid which gives a clear see through appearance over the paler/bleached template.

I splattered some of the Kaiser Mist - Candy and the Prima Colour Bloom - Cotton Candy around the page.

I stamped with the Kaiser Clear Stamp - Flutter using the Gray Flannel Memento Ink.

Then using Art Alchemy - Acrylic Paint - Opal Magic Aqua - Rose, the Viva Precious Metal Colour - Pink, some Acrylic Paint - Black and the edge of my palette knife I added some lines.

I have once again been a little minimalistic in my use of papers and have stuck to using mainly the P.S. I Love You Collectables.

I added the title Love using the word from the sticker sheet. I needed to ink this with the Gray Flannel Memento Ink.

Well, whilst out of my comfort zone, I love how this layout turned out and mainly loved using lots of new products and colours. All of these are available at Scrapbookit!

Together Is A Beautiful Place To Be

Hello everyone!

HAPPY EASTER!

Hope the Easter Bunny finds you all tonight and leaves you lots of yummy chocolate eggs!

I am back today to remind you about the challenge we have running for this month.

The following guidelines need to be followed:

* Use the PageMaps sketch

*Add Texture

*Add Flowers 

*Add Stamping

Here is the sketch...

A great challenge for those of us who love to use more than one photo for our layouts!!

I am also back today to share with you another layout that I have created with the gorgeous 

P.S. I Love You collection by Kaisercraft.

It is all about love this month!

Here is what I have come up with...

It doesn't cover many of the challenge requirements but I love using this paper collection. I was also having a play with some of my new mixed media products.

When I first mixed the colour paste for the background I had no layout in mind, I was just experimenting.

I used Modelling Paste and some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dust - Velvet. After mixing them together, I smeared it around the centre of the page.

I have added some splatters using the Kaiser Mist - Shiraz.

I have then layered and added some strips of the patterned papers and used lots of the gorgeous collectables. However, I have been quite minimalistic in my use of these.

The gorgeous lace strip is from the P.S. I Love You Sticker Sheet. 
Isn't it very pretty?

I have finished with some cute little sequins that I had in my collection.

I hope that you have enjoyed looking at my layout and it has inspired you to get your craft on this weekend.
If you are after any of these products make sure you visit scrapbookit.com.au or email Joanne - joanne@scrapbookit.com.au 
If Jo hasn't got what you need she is always more than happy to order them for you.

I hope that you enjoy your Easter tomorrow!
