WEEK 17 - PHI SIGMA SIGMA - SCRAPBOOKING SOROITY PHOTOS

Hey everyone!  As we go into May, we will be focusing on school layouts for Teacher Appreciation Day or on Mother's Day layouts.  I decided to go the school route.  Although I don't have any pictures of teachers I haven't already scrapped, I did a page documenting my sorority in college.  These products immediately jumped out at me to make this page.  I absolutely love the way it turned out!  Please watch the video below to see my process.

Supplies Used:

• Yellow cardstock
• Patterned Paper: Pink Paislee, Heidi Swapp Mistables
• Iron-On greek letters
• Navy blue acrylic paint
• Heidi Swapp Colorshine - Mint Green
• Hero Arts Neon Blue paint dauber
• Gold Lame Smooch
• Large gold doily
• kraft tag
• twine
• flowers
• enamel dots: My Mind's Eye

Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Please leave any questions you might have!  I'd also love to see you over at my blog: The Scrap Angel.

Have a great week!

WEEK 10 - CARD INSPIRATION

Recently I taught a card class and did a very simple design and one of the girls in the class suggested it would work lovely for a layout...So thanks Kat, I did just that !!

Always start in the centre, I cut 5 2" strips and made banners from 4 of them and left one full length.

Then with the bits you cut off, snip a few chevron shapes out of them

And adhere on the page leaving a gap between each one.

Next, I painted up a few stars and punched out three black circles from my Big Bite, to make a 'Mickey' logo on one of the stars, seeing as it was a holiday to Florida and the land of Mickey mouse.

Then I simply tied some twine around the photo and added some tickets to finish it off.

And there you have a very simple but effective layout.

Thanks for looking

GOING GREEN....

Green is a colour I love working with, especially if it's TEAL green LOL !!!! but this time I've really pushed myself and used sage green.

Start by painting and when I say painting I mean pop a bit of paint on a baby wipe and rub onto the cardstock.

Next spritz a bit of a water based spray onto your resist mat and using the lid, make some circles on the cardstock.

With the ink still wet, sprinkle on some Embossing powder, shake off and heat set

Next, using a piece of watercolour card, spritz with a lighter ink, then lay a stencil over and spritz with a darker ink. Dry with a heat tool.

Whilst I had the embossing powder out, I inked up a few flowers and a polaroid frame and embossed those.

Added a few splatters with the ink before sticking it all down.
Thanks for looking
