Laura Rumble - Crafter

This layout started with a scrap of paper.  I can't tell who it is made by or how long I've had it.  I can tell you I wish I had more! It's a muted grey, orange, turquoise and mustard stripe with a fab mottled texture.  I paired it with a few enamel frames, puffy alphas and puffy phrase stickers, a mustard and white chevron cardstock frame and enamel dots.  It's a stash layout using old supplies that have not seen the love they deserve. The cardstock frame was chopped in two and slipped behind the photo cluster.  It appears to be a large landscape frame underneath the portrait paper anchoring the whole layout... but we know it's just a small square frame posturing! This was one of those moments where being a silly-shopper-who-buys-every-colour-of-enamel-dot came in handy as I was able to shuffle through my entire collection and pull out perfect colour matches. And that's it - my favourite layout of the moment! Thanks for stopping by

Hi Folks, I'm here today using a mix of my like for ever kit, SpiegelMom Scraps sequins and flair from Accent Scrapbooking . The majority of the supplies came from my like for ever kit featuring Dear Lizzy.  The patterned paper was screaming out to be fussy cut! I love these flair.  You can find this pack here . I added a little colour to the washi tape with some Inktense pencils and a water brush. And also added a little colour to the fussy cut paper flower. And here is the layout in full... I used Lilac Twinkle sequin mix and the flowers from Sweet Pea . Thanks for stopping by!

like for ever run Sunday Challenges each week... today is a stash busting challenge.  Each project must contain birds, puffy stickers, stripes, gold and paint.  I have no problem adding birds to a layout, I squeezed 7 whole birds and a few part-birds too.  I will admit I had a few issues cutting through the paper and decapitating the drawings! I'm not usually a puffy stickers fan but these little flowers have really caught my affections...  Shimelle at her best I think. For my paint I chose a few mists and some gold paste.  I wasn't happy with any of the coral colours I had, they just didn't match the birds.  I mixed my own colour from 5 or 6 colours to get a colour I was happy with. And my stripes come in the form of a couple of pieces from the cut apart sheet. Here's the process video: Thanks for looking, and have fun with the challenge criteria...

I openly admit I don’t like pink.  I often get sequin mixes with pink in nonetheless, and usually struggle to use them to their best.  I fell in love with the greens in Strawberry Bubblegum and was determined to use the whole mix rather than just picking out the greens! Here is how it went... Pop over to the SpiegelMom Scraps blog for more and the process video

Ah, it's my boys!  I love this layout, I love the photos, I love the colours, I love the boys! I've used watercolour card for the background and mixed several different blue-green shades.  No real plan other than an end goal of watery and subtle. The grey alphas, enamel dots and green hearts are from my stash but everything else is from my like for ever kit. Puffy stickers from (my beloved) Cocoa Vanilla. The clear stickers with black writing are cut up.  I didn't fancy the whole sentiments - too fancy or wordy for me - so I just trimmed off the words I wanted to use and tucked the cut edges under a paper layer. And the black splats are with Liquitex Acrylic Ink blown with a straw.  We did this with paint as kids and I swear I enjoy it as much now as I did back then!! Thanks for stopping by
