A Winter's Day | Lou Thompson | Grab 5

For this month's challenge I just had to go wintery and use the Prima Santa Baby collection I love.

I started by splattering some oxide inks on some Bazzill marshmallow heavy cardstock in colours that coordinated with the Prima range.

I started by layering some of the papers around my photo and added foam dots for dimension.

I then added glitter stickers and washi, foam stickers and ephemera from Santa Baby, some American Crafts dot stickers and Kaisercraft die cuts.

I really love this layout its super pretty and perfect for winter.

Here are some close ups. Hope you like it.

Baby Boy Blue | Lou Thompson | One 6x4 photo

Hello scrappers and welcome to my 2nd piece for UKSA. This month's challenge was to make a layout using one 6x4 photo, so style wise, this was very much open to interpretation.

I had this gorgeous blue  and white coloured wooden board page I have been dying to use and remember this cute photo of my nephew I took when he was little. Has has the most amazing blue eyes  and a cute blue fluffy coat on so just goes great with this paper.

I have a few favourite mixed media items currently; Prima Impasto paints and Ranger Oxide inks. I chose a few paints and mixed them with modelling paste. I also took a few oxides in matching colours and used these along with the paste to add stenciling to the background. I am just loving blues and greens at the moment so really love the results.

From there it was fairly easy as I didn't want to loose all this lovely texture so kept it simple. I added die cuts and a journalling card, washi, a wooden circle, a resin flower, some stickers and chipboard alphas, a tassel and a perspex camera and word.

Here are some close ups and please so visit my YouTube channel to see the process. If you enjoy the video, please give me a thumbs up and maybe a comment so I know you like what I am doing :)

live in full colour | Laura | Moodboards

Hi Laura here with my take on the rainbow moodboard.

I took most of my inspiration from the zebra and went for drippy rainbow watercolour...

Here is the process video: https://youtu.be/lRQn_pOhFuE

When it came to embellishing I used enamel dots that matched the colour of the paint beneath.

And added a small loop of rainbow washi tape too.

Thanks for reading!

One Crazy Bunch | Jackie Ashton | Multiple Photos

Hi, Jackie here for my first blog post for this site.  The theme this month was to use multiple photographs on a single layout, and I knew just which ones I was going to use.

I recently went on a craft retreat with some of my crafting friends, and to start our fun weekend off, we met for lunch and some shopping and of course we had to take a couple of silly selfies or two, and which as you can see from the photographs was hilarious, but we ended up with these fun photographs which just had to be scrapped.

I used Simple Stories - Emoji Love collection, which was just perfect for these fun selfies.

The collection is a fun and very easy to adapt for all types of photographs and has a large selection of chipboard, word stickers and phrases that captured the fun in the photographs.

I made the photo strip by printing the photos size 2 inch by 1.5 inches, which I printed on my Selphy, printing 4 on a 6x4 photo print.  Then I cut them into 4 and struck them onto white cardstock to represent a photo strip.  These I then layered on several strips of patterned papers.

The main photograph is printed as a 4x4 square and layered on a piece of patterned paper, which I then 3D mounted before adding it to the right-hand side of the background paper.

I added some of the chipboard phases to the top and bottom of the photo-strip, as well as some word and phrases stickers.

To add some more detail and texture, I machined stitched over the title, which not only held the letters in place but it just added an extra detail to the page.

I finished the layout by adding some enamel dots and flair badges that I had in the stash.

I hope you get some inspiration from my layout on adding multiple photographs to your scrapbooking pages.
