Serenity in April

Hi there!

It's Heather McMahon back today with a layout I made using the seriously awesome April mood board for Off The Rails. Or should I say 'mood boards' as there were two to choose from!

Here they are:

I chose to use the first one as I loved the silver glitter with the lime green. Here's what I made:

To make the background, I first took a sheet of Webster's Pages Hall Pass 'Field Goal' paper and applied gesso through a Crafter's Workshop stencil:

I then rubbed a Gelato through another stencil, first by applying it directly to the stencil, then by rubbing it in further with my finger:

I then added some stamping - I used some frame stamps and some Kaisercraft 'Film Edges' stamps:

This is what it looked like when I had finished the background:

I then added a strip of chipboard chevrons from The Dusty Attic which I painted white and staggered behind my photo. I added some flowers, leaves and chevrons that were fussy-cut from Webster's Pages Beautiful Chic 'In Bloom' paper plus some silver twine:

The title and triangles are both from The Dusty Attic and I coated them with Beck BT's Tinby Designs Metallic Melts. I love the textural, sparkly finish on these:

 Happy scrappin'!

April Memory Planner with Felicity

Hello there.

Felicity here today to share with you another monthly digest of the Heidi Swapp memory planner.   Here I created lots of little flaps with a few hidden quotes and messages underneath. Just a way to add a little depth and character to my planner.

I was so inspired by this free little Easter Bunny template from Heidi Swapp printable and also by Memory Planner that Heidi created, that I had to put a little bunny in my planner too!!

Because I have a lot going on with need to create a little space to rest the eye. So I used on the Heidi swap vellum sheets.

Another little tag I created and inserted into my planner.

There you have April Memory planner.   hope this inspires you document your life and have something memorable to look back on in years to come!   Felicity XO
