Sisters Layout June Mood Board for ***Maja Design*** + Playing at ***Lindy's Stamp Gang*** and ***Cuts2luv***!

Goodmorning lovelies, 

Today I am sharing a layout for this months mood board at the Maja Design blog did you already see it? It's lovely with beautiful colors and pictures. It went life last Monday and you can find it here     => Maja Design Mood Board June <=

For this layout I used the super pretty "Enjoying outdoors" collection which has amazing shades of purple tones in it. I am very happy with that colections as purple is my favorite color {not always for scrapping though}. The picture I used is another one of Camilla her daughters they are just to cute to not scrap ;-)

First I took out the "Having tea in the sun" sheet which I tore on different spots and then distressed it after inking the edges then I placed it on top of the "Garden creatures" sheet. After that I placed it on top of the purple scheet. Then I took out two stamp sets and stamped randomly on my light colored paper. Let's have a look at the mood board: 

I always love the quotes Maja Design has on their mood boards so took only the first line of the quote and printed it on the "Garden notes" sheet. Then I distressed it and took the purple sheet to matt it. I sure hope you will play along this month you could win the collection of your choice...so awesome right. 

For this layout I took out my colluzzle again for the text "Sisters" I really enjoyed playing with it again. After stamping on my layout I added a new Dusty Attic stencil on the background sheet for this I used my Lindy's Magicals and some light molding paste I have to say I never color my paste as I just like it to be white but it turned out really lovely on my work. 

What I really love about this collection that it has cute mini butterflies in it for you to cut out which I did and I placed them randomly on my layout! The flowers that I used are by 49 and Market I treated them with some Lindy's stamp gang embossing powder but also with the Twinkling Tinsel spray {my fav almost a empty bottle :-(} Underneath my flowers I added some cheece cloth and some thread. The two hearts I gessod first and then added some magicals to give it more the color to match my layout. The chipboard is by The Dusty Attic and I just gessod them and inked the edges. 

At the end of creating this layout I added a wonderful purple flair by "Cuts2luv" which sais "Focus on the good" Then I sprayed with my all time favorite Lindy's Stamp Gang spray SIDEWALK CHALK can't live without that bottle I used it on all my work to soften up the tones. 

With this layout I will be entering two challenges, first one is this months color challenge at:

"Lindy's Stamp Gang"

This color challenge makes me happy, I enjoy the colors and that is what got me inspired to make this layout with these two sweet girls on the picture. 

 As I said in my text above I used several of the Lindy's Stamp Gang products. 

Magical Shimmer Powder - Tea Pot Purple

Magical Shimmer Powder - A Bit o'Bubbly

Embossing Powder - Clearly Clear

Embossing Powder - Magic Moon Pearls

Spray's - Sidewalk Chalk

Spray's - Scintillating Silver

Spray's - Twinkling Tinsel

For the second challenge I am going to enter you can visit the => "Cuts2luv" <= blog they have a wonderful mood board to this month with lot's of lovely elements. 

I haven't follow the colors from the mood board but I did use the sketch I only turned it 90 degrees and used two pictures instead of just one and put the title in the middle of the pictures. 

Then I added a summer picture of two sweet girls {Camilla her girls} and I used thread, a little polka dot on the purple paper. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and I would like to wish you a wonderful week!

Together we Smile Layout February SOE Watercolor Wishes Kit for ***Scraps of Elegance***

Goodmorning lovelies, 

Today it's my birthday and I would like to share a 12 by 12 layout using the amazing wonderful February "Watercolor Wishes" kit at Scraps of Elegance. This is a gorgeous kit with all pretty 49 and Market goodies in it but also some pretty metal pieces and other stunning embellishments this is just a must have kit. 

Together we Smile: 

The picture I used is of my precious cousin her daughters Nadene and Hanna and I really love this picture of them {it's so sweet}. I really got inspired to use this picture because of the lovely haute couture stamp set by Gabrielle Pollacco that was also in this kit. 

I also used some sticker words that I had in my stash but you can also print words or text on a pieces of patterned paper and just print it out that works fine for me on most layouts. The chipboard piece I used here is treated with rust paste by Finnabair and it was cut in two. 

 Those glass stones that are in this kit are just the bomb wow I really enjoyed using them on this particular layout. The pretty metal bird you see at the bottom picture is by Prima Marketing and is so adorable. I used the pretty stencil in the kit on different parts of my layout and also I added a bunch of Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays on this piece. 

This main kit is still available at the Scraps of Darkness/Elegance Store so it you would like it please be quick because it's amazing. Just take a good look at all these yummy products below. 

Thank you so much for visiting my blog today and have a wonderful week...

Timeless Photograph 8x8 Layout for ***Cheery Lynn Designs*** + Playing at Lindy's Stamp Gang's March Challenge

Goodmorning lovelies, 

Today I'd like to show you how I used my precious "Cheery Lynn Designs"dies. 

This time I made a 8x8 layout again {it's been ages since I did one for Cheery Lynn Designs} using a old picture of my mother in law, she is in her seventies now and on the picture she was just four years old such a cutie pie...

I ordered some foam from England last week because I saw some lovely flowers made out of them on YouTube...and I have to say I LOVE that stuff I am hooked now lol

Timeless Photograph:   

I cut out the flower dies times four then I used my heat gun to curl my flowers. This layout came out so easily. For the flower centers I used some steamen and a diamond gem on top of that. These papers I used are from such a thick quality that it's really easy to distress it. 

In some of the dies I left the cut out bits and pieces because I really think shabby chic is all about that The word stickers are inked with white ink and I added a treat underneath the picture. In my flower clusters I added some cheesecloth.





  I really adore how much depth the flowers have with the foam & dies I used wow. I am totally going to make more flowers with my Cheery Lynn Designs flower dies on my next projects so keep a close eye on this amazing blog.

Cheery Lynn Design dies used: 

B308 - City Girl Edger

DL102 - French Pastry Doily

DL234 - French Pastry Tiny Doily

Other products used: 49 and Market papers & stamps, Paste, Dusty Attic stencil, foam to make the flowers, Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays, word stickers, cheesecloth, treat, steamen, prills, diamond gems, gesso and ink.
With this layout I will be entering this months color challenge at the "Lindy's Stamp Gang" blog! I was inspired by the beautiful colors and those gorgeous roses on that amazing cake.

Happy Dreams are Special Layout for ***The Dusty Attic*** & ***49 and Market + Playing at Lindy's Stamp Gang

Hi sweeties, 

Today I am back with another layout, this time it's pretty in pink ;-) and I used some of the amazing shimmer & shine - Blush Jardin flowers on my layout. 

I really love to combine the pretty collections by 49 and Market this time I combined the "Vintage Artistry" Botanical sheet and the "Heirloom Botanicals" Sanctuary & Harmony sheets. I also used the cut out sheet from the "Flower Fairies"collection for the leaves I added in the flower clusters.

This layout is based on the Dusty Attic mood board/sketch for the month February so naturally I added a bunch of chipboard pieces. Oh wow and those stitch chippies are "STUNNING"I think I found my new love....

Happy Dreams are Special: 

Firstly I sprayed some Lindy's sprays on the back ground sheet before I stamped with a square pattern stamp, then I cut of the bottom and top of the "Vintage Artistry" Botanical sheet and punched it with my notebook edge punch and placed it on top a pink sheet from the "Heirloom Botanicals" collection. Then I took out Gabi's square stitch stamp set and stamped around the edges of lighter paper sheet.

I told you above that this layout was based on the mood board / sketch at The Dusty Attic site just take a look at this prettiness.....gorgeous right???

Most of the chipboard pieces are treated with rust paste and mica powder but some of them I just embossed but all where primed with gesso first. That cute little baby girl the granddaughter of a friend of mine. I used a couple of the clocks from the cut out sheet { heirloom botanicals } which a look so amazing on any layout.

The flowers I used are such a delight to work with and really a high quality you can also cut them apart and used them separately on your work {I know it's hard to cute or part such beauty} 

I also added some rub-ons to my work to accent the matting of my pictures and dark background stamp.

Vintage Artistry collection: Botanical Press 

Heirloom Botanicals collection: Sanctuary & Harmony

Flower Fairies collection: Cut Out Sheet
