Captivating - Guest design for Scrap Africa

Hi all. I'm so delighted that I won the Top Hat award at Scrap Africa last month as was asked to guest design for a challenge. The challenge I am guest designing for is a mood board challenge with a brilliant bright fresh orange mood board. Orange isn't normally a colour I choose so I love that I got to try something different and I so happy with how this layout turned out. Head over the Scrap Africa Blog to give this mood board a try yourself.

Here is the Mood Board

Cherish - GD for Couture Creations

Hi everyone - here is my second GD layout for Couture Creations. In this layout I went with the gorgeous purple colours that are in the Hearts Ease collection.

Here is how I put this together

First I cut 4 die cuts from each of the Couture Creations Hearts Ease Intricutz Dies - Mandshurica C0724312 & Scrolled Tomentosa C0724310 with white cardstock

Then I used the Couture Creations Hearst Ease Embossing Folder 5 x 7 - Lilliputana Curtain C0724375 with two of the Hearts Ease Papers (Small Pansies & Pansy Journalling). I distressed the papers to enhance to embossed images.

I layered these embossed papers with pieces of the Pansy Dressing Paper to create a mat for my photo. I'm using the Pansy Damask paper as the background.

I made a pattern with my die cuts and glued them down on my background

I filled in the gaps with a floral stencil and modeling paste

I glued down my photo mat and photo using pieces of cardboard to prop up my layers and give my page dimension, Next I layered on all my flowers and embellishments. I used the Couture Creations bulk white flowers in a range of different varieties. I kept the flowers white and splashed my page with some purple and white sprays. To finish off I added some purple rhinestones and glass beads.

Treasure The Time - GD at Couture Creations

Hi there - I'm so happy that this month I get to guest design for Couture Creations. I'm using their new Hearts Ease Collection - so Pretty!!!! Plus I got to use some of their dies and embossing folders, I don't own a Big Shot so I had to borrow one for a couple of weeks but now I think I'm hooked and will have to buy my own.

For my first layout I made a start to finish video so please sit back and enjoy.
