August Inspiration - Megan Gourlay

Hi Everyone :)

Today I have 3 projects to share with you, one using the Wanderlust Collection and the other using the In the Mood collection.


My first project is a layout that uses lots of layers of printed and altered chipboard. My base piece of paper is Ocean Voyage.  Ive used two different stencils with texture paste and watered down different paint colours for added colour.  Some random stamping using archival ink over the background finished my base layer.


My Beaded Circles chipboard has simply been painted, and then added some muslin this has also been coloured to match.  My two chipboard titles have been embossed with Wheat, and a few seedlings sprinkled around finished my layout.

My next project is in two parts, a little luggage trunk and a mini album.  The mini album is tiny, and fits 3x4 photos.  Both projects use In the Mood papers and printed chipboard.  This would make a fab wedding gift, or valentines day present don't you think?!


The I Love You printed chipboard was the perfect size for the front cover of my album, and because both projects are tiny, the cover needed to be flat to allow it fit in the trunk.


The mini album has a 1.75" spine with the binding being able to hold two 'signatures' - those two signatures contain a belly band, accordion fold page and a pocket.  The entire album holds 10 photos with room for journalling.


Ive used Lace 10 - the pink piece - to decorate the inside, and hide the prongs of the brads where they attach to the lid.


The detail on the lid is created by layering three layers of printed chipboard pieces.  The top piece, the heart, I have painted and while still wet applied White Gold Glitter - this just might be my favourite one, its gorgeous!


The inside front cover and the belly band on the left, both decorated with printed chipboard pieces - a great way to add dimension but which keeps it flat also.


Here I have a flap decorated with another printed chipboard piece, that ties the accordion fold piece all together, and a simple pocket page on the left.


The page on the left is a simple pocket that I have used to tuck some journalling in.  This is decorated by layering three of the triangles that come in the printed chipboard set.  The heart on the back cover is also from this set.

June layouts by France Ringuette

Hi Bloggers, it's June already. Once again it's my turn to ramp up the inspiration with a few layouts.


Layout #1: Our Story

Oh I have fallen in LOVE with the most recent Tattered Walls collection. It was actually hard to decide what paper to play with. For my first June layout, I wanted to make this page as a gift for my friend Marina. This wedding picture is precious, and she wanted to offer this as a gift to her Mother In Law. I love the soft and rich design in this layout that I coupled with one page from the Remnants collection.


The frame chipboard is stunning, heat embossed in Plum, I love the rich color and metallic effect this embossing color has. It's perfect to highlight the amazing wedding picture.


Have you seen the new Ephemera pack? This title piece, is stunning and so easy to integrate to any layout. I used the title doily underneath, love the effect. And not to mention the seedlings, they give such nice detailing to any layout.


This title chipie is a beauty, embossed in Baby Pink.

Layout #2: Big Adventure

Perfect boy's layout... Loving this new Dark grunge background in the Tattered wall collection. It's just perfect for this baby blue layout.


Sparkling navy ... My new favorite embossing powder, it's just perfect. 


I love keeping natural chipboard on my layouts, I like the simple effect it brings and on this dark background its is simply perfect.


Keeping it simple, small title from the Tattered Walls Ephemera pack.

Layout #3: Love

This layout was inspired by the printed chipboard text and mt friend Marina's wedding pictures were just so perfect,


On this layout, I added this quote to complete the 2 beautiful family wedding pictures.


My center of the flower had too much yellow so I chose to cover it with white gesso, then adding some Dusty Rose glitter.

Sharon's May Pages!

Hi Everyone!

I can't believe that May is here already.  I am very excited to be sharing my layouts with you this month!  

Here are my 3 scrapbook pages . . .  


 My First Layout:  Home Sweet Home




I used the Homespun collection for my first page.  Isn't it gorgeous?  I love the flip side of "Tea Time"(as seen below) and used it as the basis for my first layout:






Here is my 12 x 12 page:






I picked our family's Christmas card photo from 2016, which is one of my all-time favorite photos of our family.  This gorgeous paper compliments it beautifully, I think.  

A close up:



And a different view:




I especially enjoyed embellishing the raw chipboard floral/flourish wreath with embossing powder and glitter; and using the Homespun Printed Chipboard on this page.  I mixed things up by adding some Remnants Blooms here, too.

Some close ups to give you a better look at the details:
