"Moments Captured" sprapbook layout + process video by Louise

Hi Crafters

Louise on the blog today.
Our May moodboard  was quite challenging for me.

So when I can't find inspiration immediately, I like to break it down.

Looking at the moodboard, the first things I thought were colour - orange and yellow or theme fire.

I knew that somewhere in my stash I had these photos of my boys with a fire truck.

So I decided to go with photo inspiration and make a light, bright layout.

"Moments Captured"

I started with white cardstock and added some stamping.
Then I used Colour Blast Shimmer dust to make messy colour on the stamped images.

I raided my stash for some paper layers and focused on colours featured in the photos.

Here is the process video if you'd like to see me create this layout.

I love the final result and I hope I've inspired you to have a go at our moodboard.

Happy Crafting.

Scrapbook Layout Step by Step with Louise "Life of a Boy"

Hi Crafters

Louise with you today.

I'd like to share with you my inspiration from
our June moodboard which has so many ways to be inspired.

I decided to create with a brown and white palette.

I firstly chose this lovely patterned paper from Kaisercraft.

The challenge this month, also includes the task of using multiple photos.

I dug through my stash and found this Echo Park collection which is perfect.

I created a tag and chose this title card.

I made a small cluster with the tag and some other papers.

Then used Distress Ink to darken the edges.

I've used a spatula to spread some Colour Blast Paste "Leather" beneath the cluster.

I decided to add some glitter tape beneath the main photo paper, 

+ a banner to the cluster.

Now that I'm happy with how the background is looking, I need to embellish my page.

More stash items ...

I hope you'll get to play along this month.

About Charms Creations...

I started selling my Scrapbooking Embellishments back in April 2011, firstly through a "Crafters Market" on a Scrapbooking forum, then through my blog and for the last two or so years through the Charms Creations Facebook Page that I set up.

I FINALLY decided that it was time to create a *REAL* Online Shop, which I hope will make it not only easier for ME, but for all of my Customers - NEW & OLD!

Each and every one of my Embellishments are hand cut and either hand stitched or machine stitched together - which means each and every Embellishment is totally UNIQUE!

Please feel free to LIKE my Charms Creations Facebook Page if you haven't already, and PLEASE share your creations using the embellishments - I always love to see what my customers do with them!
