Light

Good morning everyone.   Today I'm sharing a layout created for All About Scrapbooks about my One Little Word for 2017.....Light.  

  Each year I participate in Ali Edwards' One Little Word.  For more information go HERE.  I select a word each year as a guide, as something to focus on and keep me grounded. This year it's Light.   If you would like to read more about why I selected that word, you can go to my blog post HERE.   This page consists of lots of layers.  

  I really wanted to add some journaling, so I didn't do any mixed media on this layout! I know! Amazing!   I added some 2Crafty Chipboard, painting it first.  

  I then added lots of little inspirational sayings and quotes that suited the theme of the layout, and finally my journaling down the left hand side.  

  I'll be back again soon to share some more.

Hello Wilna!!

Good morning!
 

Today I'm sharing a layout for All About Scrapbooks I created about meeting the fabulous Wilna Furstenberg!

 

 

I was lucky enough to attend a retreat last year that she attended.

 

Whilst there I got to take a couple of her classes, and really enjoyed getting to know her.

She is gracious, sweet, funny, bubbly and of course super talented and inspiring.

 

I used one of Wilna's techniques for the background - painting directly onto white cardstock.

 

 

I then went crazy adding lots of gorgeous 2Crafty Chipboard.

I painted some and even embossed some too!

I haven't done that for ages!

 

I then added a few embellishments from the Bella Boulevard You are Loved Range.

I cut lots of little flags from the leftovers and included them too.

 

A fun, bright, happy page that I hope you enjoy.

 

Much love

xx

Merry Christmas......celebrating with Bella Boulevard

Merry Christmas one and all!   Well tomorrow is Christmas Eve!! How exciting! I absolutely love this time of year. Wishing you the happiest of days and may the joy and magic be in your heart long after the special day has gone.  

  This layout was created using the new Bella Boulevard Christmas range available from All About Scrapbooks I adore this range and I adore Bella Boulevard too. It's the bright colours.   As soon as I saw this range I knew it was for me. Fresh gorgeous Christmas colours mixed with neutral black and white. Absolutely perfect!!   This photo was taken last year on Christmas Day  and it's one of my favourites from the day. I've been wanting to scrap it for some time, and this range made me jump right in.  

  It's a pretty simple page. I used some White cardstock as my base. I added strips of vertical patterned paper, concentrating on the right hand side of the layout. I then added a few layers of papers behind my photo. To finish it off  I added some of the cute stickers from this range clustered around the photo, I cut out a few little Christmas trees from paper, cause they are just the cutest!!  I then painted some 2Crafty Chipboard for the title and snowflakes. And of course, I finished with some black paint splatters!! Simples!   So that's it from me for 2016.   I have loved every minute of sharing my layouts with you and really hope they have given you some inspiration.   Wishing you the loveliest Christmas, and I look forward to sharing with you in 2017!   Luv Tam xxx

Happy.....using Bella Boulevard

Good morning everyone! 

Can you believe we are halfway through December??

2 more weeks until the end of the year.

Yep mind blown.

 

This week I've been working on a layout for All About Scrapbooks using some of Bella Boulevard's Illustrated Faith range.

Just adore the colours!

 

 

This layout is inspired by the craziness of this time of year.

In our attempt to get everything done, we can lose the joy.

We can lose our focus.

 

So this is about finding happiness in the everyday craziness.

It's about feeling grateful.

It's so important.

 

 

I began by applying some gesso to white cardstock.

 

I then added a few brush strokes of paint.

I wanted to journal on the paint, so I was mindful where I placed it.

I added a few flicks of paint as well.  Love the colour!

 

I added a few strips of paper to the left hand side of my layout.

 

I added some layers behind my photo, and then embellished with a few page tabs and stickers.

 

 

Once this was all stuck down, I journalled.

 

For me this is the most important part.

 

I hope this layout inspires you to not only scrap, but also to stop and be grateful.

So, what are you grateful for?
