The Scrappery CT - 'me.'

Hello Scrappery friends, Lydia here finally back sharing for 2018. 2018 is going to be a big year, as I enter my final year of schooling in Grade 12 and getting ready for my future which will defiantly still include creating.

I'm so excited to have started the year with the gorgeous 'Willow' Kits to create with. I'm so in love with all the bright colours in the kits featuring the Crate Paper collection 'Cool Vibes'. So to start off the year I'm sharing a 12x12 traditional layout using the 'Willow' kits.

 

 

Now when I first opened my kits my eye was caught on the bright colours but also the little ampersands that I found in the ephemera pack which made me cut some out of the patterned papers in the TSK  as the made feature of the layout. I also hand stitched around a few of the ampersand which you will see in some of the close up images.

 

 

I absolutely love the colours in these kits, their just sooooo me!!

This layout was ended up turning into a page about me and just being and loving  myself hence why I used the shiny gold glitter Thickers which can be found the 'Willow' PLK.

 

 

I am all about self love so when  saw this ephemera piece I fell in love with it and knew I had to use it with a photo of myself. In this image you can also see one of the ampersands that I hand stitched around.

 

 

Now you all know I love my clustes of embellishments so I did them next two 3-4 ampersands using little pieces from the ephemera pack as well as in one of the clusters using one of the beautiful charms which had a cactus on it. I than finished the clusters with a few little rhinestones.

 

 

 

I did add a few little stamped sentiments using the stamp set from the 'Cool Vibes' collection.

 

 

 

I hope you have all received your 'Willow' kits by now and are enjoying creating with them as much I have been. Make sure to be sharing your creations using all the kits over on the Facebook Group too.

 

 

I hope you all have a lovely week adhered and I will be back soon with another project.

Scrap Matrix DT - Paper Artsy Tags

Lydia, back again today to share my second project for the month featuring Paper Artsy. Today I am sharing a set of three days using a range of projects from the Scrap Matrix store and featuring E³ Emma Godfrey 03 stamp set from Paper Artsy.

First thing I did was grab some tags from my stash, using a small palette knife added some Dylusions Paint in the colours Bubblegum Pink and Rose Quartz. I also love how fast these Dylsuions Paints dry too.

I wanted to build some light layers on these tags so I used the Tim Holtz - Lace Stencil and sprayed some of my favourite Dylusions Inks in the colours Rose Quartz and Laidback Lilac. Although the inks did run a bit when I sprayed them, I like the effect that gave.

I then used the E³ Emma Godfrey 03 stamp set from Paper Artsy and stamped onto some plain white card and fussy cut them out. And to adhere them to the tags I used Helmar 450 Quick Dry adhesive.

Last but not least I added a few textural items including Finnabair by Prima Art Glass Beads in the colour Zinc and some Finnabair by Prima Art Ingredients Mica Flakes in the colour Mulberry.

And now for some close up photos.

I hope you all liked these tags. Also be sure to head over to the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook Group to be able to enter this months Paper Artsy challenge, you have 5 days!!! I will be back next month with more projects.

Scrap Matrit DT - Paper Artsy Bauble December Challenge

Happy New Year Scrap Matrix friends. Lydia back to share my December Paper Artsy challenge project which is a DIY bauble and tag using their stamp set E³ Emma Godfrey 03 which you can find over in the Scrap Matrix store.

This was the perfect project to do for December as it is the month of Christmas and decorations.

 

Using some plain white cardstock I stamped the beautiful journaling card looking stamp from the Paper Artsy stamp set E³ Emma Godfrey 03 and cut it out. I hole punched it to be able to thread some twine through and finished it with a quick Merry Christmas and Happy New Year message.

 

 



And on the reverse side of the tag I again used the Paper Artsy stamp set E³ Emma Godfrey 03 with the triangle to give the tag a featured side. That made the tag finished. Quick, simple and effective.

 

My favourite part of this project was definately choosing what stamps to use from the Paper Artsy E³ Emma Godfrey 03 stamp set, there were so many to choose from. So this bauble has both a front and back side and is simply made out of cardstock, Dylusions and the beautiful stamp set.

To do the background I started with a piece of cardstock and used the colours Bubblegm Pink, Calypso Teal and Pomegranate Seed, Dylusion inks. Once that had dried I picked out the words smile, camera shy, photography and click from the E³ Emma Godfrey 03 Paper Artsy stamp set ad stamped them on directly onto the Dylusions background.

 

I than added a little feature to both side using just a stamp from the E³ Emma Godfrey 03 set just stamping it onto plain white cardstock and cutting them out.

 

 

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are ready to get creative with the Scrap Matrix challenges. Be sure to head over to the Scrap Matrix Shares Facebook Group to enter the Paper Artsy challenge which runs through to the 15th.

Have a great week ahead.
