Scrap the Boys - DT page for October

It is a fun sketch this month at STB....




I stuck to the sketch closely with my page.... PS>>> please note.... I added pink to a boy page... cos I had too! ;)


Started with wood grain patterned paper, then I stitched a circle, as well as painted and splattered with some Colour Blast Colour Shimmer pot paint (in Dusty Charcoal).

Lots of layers of scraps of patterned paper and cardboard and tags.

And then totally raided my stash for some goodies to finish.

 

You can see old pink glitter and felt brads, old pink acetate stars, old stickers, the glasses, punchinella (thank you D-lish), threads and I have NO idea where that cute little pink mushroom came from!

 

Of course, the hero is the Charms Creations star in black denim and grey.

 

I love this cluster and I love how my page turned out.

 

I hope you join in at Scrap the Boys this month.

 

Thanks for looking.

Scrap the Boys - August 2017 - DT page

Hello scrappy friends,

 

Welcome again to August! Here is the challenge at Scrap the Boys...

 

 

 

I love this photo of Dave playing touch football, so I enlarged it to 5X7 for this challenge.

 

I drew some dodgy stars (for the Southern Cross) and then painted it using Colour Blast Colour Shimmer Dusts (in Sunflower and Paris). I also stamped some stars and made some splatters.

 

I focused on this title.... but also added some wooden arrows and stars (which I embossed with Colour Embossing Powder (in Dusty Charcoal).

 

 

Go the green and gold! And go Dave!

 

Thanks for looking,

Amanda

 

Scrap the Boys - May 2017

Hi all,

 

Another BOY-based challenge for May for Scrap the Boys!... This one can have MUM's in it though.... (phew!)

 

 

And here is my page... with an old photo of husband David with his Mother....

 

I used some Colour Blast Shimmer Dust in Velvet and painted it to cardstock - that's the messy paint splodge at the back! Then added the layer of white script transparency, which I machine stitched. Then everything else layered on top!

 

I used some 2Crafty Chipboard (our sponsor this month) - I inked it purple and then used dimensional magic. While the dimensional magic was wet, I sprinkle some super fine glitter into it!

 

 

 

 

 

So purple and yellow??? Why not!

 

Thanks for looking. I hope you join us for Scrap the Boys this month!

Scrap the Boys - March 2017

Hi all,

 

The challenges continue at Scrap the Boys (and for me) this month, as we scrap boys (said the mother of 3 girls), this month using DIRT:

 

 

 

As soon as I saw the challenge, I remembered a photo of my little brother, that was always a favourite of mine, where he was playing in the mud. Luckily my Mum remembered it too, and was able to find the photo, scan it and email it to me.

 

So here is my layout.

 

 

I had an old stencil with the big splatter pattern and to be honest I had never used it. Anyway, I mixed some Colour Blast Mica Powder (Expresso brown) with some Gel Medium and put it through the stencil. It was the perfect mud splatter background!

 

I swiped the leftovers around the edges and even had enough to paint the 2Crafty chipboard word title.

 

I also used some Colour Blast Shimmer Spray in Just Blue to splatter on the page and to colour the Charms Creations DIY Chevron.

 

Check out all the details in the these close ups....

 

I wove some wire around a few elements on the page. And this close up shows you the awesome Charms Creation! And I love the glitter enamel dots from D-lish Scraps!

 

 

 

 

 

Flutterby Designs flair here! Perfect!

 

Thanks for looking!
