Love this Child

Hi everyone, it's Cindy here, thanks for joining me today.

 I have one last project to share with you this month... "Love this child"

 I again used paper Jo sent in my kit from the Pebbles 12x12" paper pad...

 The papers are very bright and patterned, and my photo got a little lost when I laid it on the paper.... So I white washed the paper with gesso to tone it down a little... and then sprayed it up to match my niece's coat... 

 I used Scrap FX chipboard for my journalling title Love scribble heart (I only used the love word) and Wild Child(in which I cut off the wild)...and coloured these up with water colour pencils...

I used the Scrap FX Daisy Flowers stencil to create the daisies on the layout to coordinate with my photo... and I added some buttons to create the flower centres...

finally, I also used the Scrap FX Chevron Spot Stamps to finish off my layout.

So my layout very loosely follows the current challenge (at a stretch, lol)... the current challenge is a Tic Tac Toe challenge... all you need to do is choose a row and incorporate those elements in your project...

so my layout very loosely follows the first column.... Teal-Journalling-Flowers...

My paper has teal print on it, I used a journalling title and stenciled my flowers...

It's your last chance to get your entry in to be in the running for a massive prize pack from Jo, so don't dilly dally, I'm looking forward to seeing your creations....

till next time

Happy Creating

Amazing and Wild

Hi everyone, it's Cindy  here with you today, thanks for joining me.

It's my 2nd turn here on the Scrapbookit blog this month and I'd like to share with you the layouts I created.

This layout was inspired by Brenda's challenge, "scrap a photo of a friend", but I didn't follow the full challenge criteria this time...

The photo is of a friend of mine at a recent retreat.

I had lots of fun playing with some cheap water colour paints, on the coordinations cardstock (sequoia)...

Once I had that layer down I used the Scrap FX Whirlpools Stencil,  to create some detail along with the Scrap FX Hash Stamps...

and then some final background detail with the Darkroom Door French Script stamp.

I used the Kaisercraft Mister Fox collection of papers and collection pack to create the layered pieces for the layout...

 Next up I'd like to share with you a layout I created "Wild"....

this month I had some papers left from the pack that Jo sent me... so I got to creating...

 I took this photo at a recent retreat, this gorgeous tawny frog mouth owl, came and visited us each evening... happily posing for photos...
the layout was created using the Mister Fox collection from Kaisercraft.

 I created this sensational texture using the Scrap FX Palm Frond Stencil.  I really love this stencil.

I used the Mister Fox collection papers (distinguished, heroic, powerful, fearless and strong) and the collections pack.
Don't you just love his eyes.... so mesmerizing...

For my title I used the Scrap FX chipboard "Wild Child" and cut off the 'child' I will keep that in my stash for something in the future.... the layout was coloured with distress inks and Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays.

 I hope you've been playing along for your chance to win a great prize pack from Jo... You still have a little time to get your entries in.... check out the full challenge details here.

till next time
