Hello everyone! I hope you are well and safe! I want to share with you a multiple photos page that I created for 49 and Market using the Vintage Artistry Color Saige collection.  I started applying a coat of clear gesso to the Delicate paper that has a lovely design with leaves. I added textures on the background using the Gratitude Today stamp set with Versamark and white embossing powder. I framed three photos with the Vintage Artistry Sage Stitch Frames. Next, I created a design using the different laser cuts from the same collection. I started to embellish the page with the white Daisy stems and Sugar stems Fluff flowers. I added more textures using cheesecloth and white lace. I used a brush with Distress Ink to add color over the stamp work and around the embellishments. The title “Cherish” is one of the chipboard words from the treasure archival board. I applied microbeads and art stones with gel medium and added some Wishing bubbles and finally, whit...

Hello my scrapper friends!  I’m so excited to share with you my first project as Graphic 45 Ambassador. I created a layout using one of my favorites collection  Botanical Tea .  I started giving textures to the polka dot paper with a stencil and modeling paste. I dab the Antiquing Dye Ink over the acrylic mat and I mixed it with water to paint all the stencil work. I let it dry. I took one tag from the Regular Ivory Tag Albums to mat the photo. I distressed with the ClearSnap Decades Dye Pad all the edges of the tag and the photo. I cut out the flowers, butterflies, birds and, leaves from the papers. Once I created the design on my page with the different chipboard, stickers and die cuts pieces, I added  3D foam tape on the back of them. It added dimension and highlight these elements. I added some art stones with gel medium to create more textures and for a feminine touch, I added some pearls here and there. You can watch all the creative...

Hi scrapper friends! I want to share with you a project that I created using the new Word Traveler collection by Bo Bunny. I travel to different countries in order to teach mixed media and scrapbooking classes. Last month, I went to Ecuador and took this photo with the beautiful mountains on the back. When I saw this collection I knew they were the perfect papers for this picture as the theme and colors match perfectly.  I started by selecting this paper with neutral colors and nautical designs as the background, and added textures using a clock stencil with modeling paste. I started to create my design using the die cuts pieces, stickers and letters that I made with the alphabet punch board. I adhered 3D foam dots behind the die cuts, photo and letters to add dimension and interest in some areas on my page. I added textures with beads around the letters to highlight them and painted their background with a burgundy color. Here are three differen...

It is featuring the Havana collection by Prima Marketing, fabulous chipboards by Creative Embellishments, fantastic stencils by Vicky Boutin and much more...  Now let me show you what I did with the kit and I also made the video tutorial 😊 I love this paper I think is my favorite from this collection. My challenge was how to highlight the photo with this busy paper but I think I got it right. I cut a heart shape on the paper and adhered a piece of  green paper from the same collection. You can watch all the creative process in the video on my YouTube channel.  I used the chipboard and die cuts from the same collection to decorate around the photo and flowers. I was inspired on the same paper design to create the background. I adhered letters from the ABC here and there, then I gave a coat of gesso over all the ...

Hi there!! I made this page about my nieces using the May LE kit by My Creative Scrapbook and I recorded all the creative process that you can watch in the video tutorial at the end of the post or on my YouTube Channel . Let's take a look.... This paper is my favorite from the Love Story collection by Prima Marketing featured this month in the Limited Edition kit. I started preparing the paper with gesso clear then I gave textures with the 12 x 12 kit' stencil and modeling paste. These are my lovely nieces Camila and her little sister Milena. I made this page for them.  I painted with ivory acrylic paint the chipboard and cut it by half to make two pieces that I used in the corners of the photo. I added some die cuts from the ephemera package but I made fussy cutting from the papers to create this composition. I made a paste with the mini art stones and gel medium that I spread over all the stencil work on the page. I cut and distressed the title from t...

Hello scrapper friends! I made a boy page to share with you today, yes you read well , lol! It's a challenge for me to create boy pages because my style is romantic if I can call it in that way but I did it. I made this page with this precious model that is Nicole's grandson (the owner of Creative Embellishments). Let's take a look... I started creating textures with the Falling Stars Stencil and modeling paste over the paper from the Forget Me Not collection by Lemoncraft. While the texture were drying, I worked with the chipboards and I applied gesso to all of them, then I embossed all the pieces with pearl embossing powder. I cut the Butterfly flourish by half and adhered to the bottom corner . I also adhered from the Baby Word Set my title..Baby Boy. To highlight this beautiful picture I placed it over the Easter frame.  I adhered the baby boots from the Baby Set. I added more textures with art stones, glass beads and pearls . Other supplies ...
