16 February, 2016 - Home for the Holidays, Layouts

Hi everyone, today I have a layout to share with you. For this layout I used the Home For The Holidays collection. Even though this is a Christmas collection the papers are very versatile and can be used on any layout. I love the brown tones in this collection.

My background paper is Together, I started by priming the paper with clear gesso before I added light modeling paste through three different stencils. Most of this was covered up but just enough peaks out from underneath.

I added colour with mists in brown, peach and deep red, then a put on some random stamping to add another layer of depth to my layout.

I made a photo mat for my photo with layers of paper in Traditions and Christmas Chorus. I lightly distressed the edges and layered in a couple of doilies.

I embellished this layout with lots of flowers, metal trinkets, a resin frame, lightbulb, twine, lace, pearls, cheesecloth, and a cute little bird.

The title is Blue Fern Studios Chipboard covered with white embossing powder.

Hello Sweeties
Today, I’m up on Maja Design with a winter page.

(Photo de Richard Loader)

I began to cover the background page with clear gesso. When dry, I did some random stamping and added black bister. To prevent the bister from reacting afterward, I sprayed a fixative on the whole page before continuing.

I added more colors to the background with differents Twinkling H2Os. With a stencil and white crackle paste, I added also a design, which I covered with white Art Sugar while the paste was still wet.

I colored the die-cut leaves and branches with Twinkling H2Os too.

I distressed the papers under the photo and lightly inked the edges.

I used 3D Matte Gel to glue all the elements to the background.

Hello Maja friends,

I just can’t believe it’s 2016 already 2015 flew bye so fast. It was a great year for me scrappy wise and I know for sure 2016 is going to be too although it started of on the wrong foot due to health problems. Hopefully it will go better soon because I miss my scrapbook room very much. Today I had some time in there and created this layout for today’s post. For this layout I used the beautiful newest collection “Home for the Holidays” this collection is so versatile you can use it for many different themed projects.

On this layout I used a bunch of paper layers, Creative Embellishments chipboard and Tresors de Luxe lace to alter the already pretty papers. On the picture you see my two men ice skating a couple of years back when it was still cold and freezing in January for this year it’s a very warm winter with still temperatures above 5 degrees and someday’s above 8 degrees. I have to say I really love that because I’m not a fan of winter although it makes great layouts.

All the chipboard pieces were treated with gesso, embossing powders and glitter stickles. I also so used my sewing machine a couple of times to stitch the edges of the papers and picture. I really adore working with my sewing machine because I think it add some much to your work.

Maja Design papers used: A Real Fellow, Friends, Together, Mom’s Gingerbread, Brought you a Gift, Traditions.

I would also like to show you a card I made with the lovely “It’s Christmas Time” collection I know it’s not that time anymore but I would really like to show you.
