Scrappingclearly Design Team post- Art Journal Page

So, I was in an art journal mood for my DT share this week over at Scrappingclearly. I have been so busy, trying to find a routine with my New job and working different days, the mojo went missing for a bit. Couldn't find it to scrap a layout, so went all messy and a bit random with an Art Journal page instead. If you click on the link to Scrappingclearly, you can read all about my process and the products I used!

Here are a few close ups.

Easter Cards for Scrappingclearly!!

Hi and Happy Easter to you all! I am having a quiet time home with the kids! Hubby has gone camping, and we are just relaxing here together after a very long couple of weeks. I started a new job and have been working 2 jobs, up until my notice finished with my previous employer and I was totally exhausted!!! Some crafting time was much needed! So today I'm up on the Scrappingclearly blog with a Design Team post of some Easter Cards, made using some Fancy Pants- Golden Days papers and embellishments, and some cool Vicki Boutin products!!

I played along with the moodboard this month, which was a mix of Autumn tones!!


 

I used the Art Crayons to colour my bird stamps, and they are great when mixed with water on a craft sheet. I flicked some paint drops onto one of my cards with a paint brush. I also used the Acrylic Paints to add some drops to my cards, the paints by Vicki Boutin are quite thick, love them!

I made a small tag, with some left overs and found a cute little bunny in the Golden Days ephemera pack.

Hope you can check out the moodboard over at Scrappingclearly this month and play along, there's also a sketch challenge to inspire you and you could win a voucher to the store!!!
Enjoy your Easter!!!

Scrappingclearly March moodboard!!

Umm, yes, so I am a bit back to front with my posts this month, but I forgot to share my Design Team layout for the March moodboard over at Scrappingclearly. I think this is one of my favourite mixed media layouts, it was a great moodboard!!

I got to play with some gorgeous art crayons from Vicki Boutin, and a Heidi Swapp art screen with some Art Screen ink. This was the first layer of my page. I sprayed some Dylusions ink over the top and then used a circle stencil from Kaszazz and coloured with the crayons and then added some water to them to blend them!! They are lovely and creamy!

My paper range was Chickaniddy, 365, I still have some of this left from my Scrappingclearly kit and I love it!!!

Thanks for looking!~!!

Kraft Plus April challenge

Hi all!!! Another new month is upon us, and another great challenge from Kraft Plus this month!! Seriously, Sandra and Amanda are rocking these challenges and graphics for the modboards, I hope you can play along!!! So this month, it was your challenge to use paint chips on a layout!! I have been collectiong these babies for awhile now and have bags of them!!! Here's my layout for the Design Team sample!!





I had so many ideas in my head and I knew it would involve using my Kaszazz punches for some type of shapes. Then I came up with the idea of a banner, and incorporated my cute, banner stamps from Kaszazz.

I used some Kaisercraft papers, from the 6.5", Happy Snaps pad, some ephemera from the same range and some journal cards from the Say Cheese pack.

You can see I've punched and cut half circles for my banner and along the bottom of my photo!

The pretty enamel dots are from D-Lish Scraps !! From my remaining paint chips, I cut some little banners to help embellish!!!

Hope you've been inspired to have a go at our challenge this month!!!
