Australian Scrapbook Ideas #25 Frame it Up ~ You Make Me Smile

The Final Layout in the Frame it UP article in Australian Scrapbook Ideas.

Loved doing this one, I have used the Manor house frames and some resin frames to create this layout.  This one is a real mix of styles with a bit of everything thrown in!



I am so proud of my girl, she has been through some real challenging times in recent months, you just want to protect your kids forever. It is so hard to watch them have to go through some necessary life challenges that makes them better people.



I absolutely adore this Bo Bunny range of papers too! I love all the bits and pieces for clustering!

The Manor House lace frames are just stunning, love how this one turned out too!

Australian Scrapbook Ideas #25 ~ Frame it Up ~ Life

Another one from my Australian Scrapbook Ideas #25 Article.
I created a shadow canvas for this one. You don't get to see the depth of this project in the magazine.

The photos are framed with paper frames that were raised off the canvas with 3D foam tape and then I used texture paste to fill in the edges on the inside of the frame.


I added the photos to a piece of cardstock that was stuck on the back of the canvas frame to give it more depth so the photos looked like they were floating behind the frames.



This was fun to do, I don't think I have seen anything done like this before, well not to my knowledge when I created this one anyway! But there are always many like minded people out there, who may have already thought of this technique too! I would love to see them if there is!



I can imagine sooooo many possibilities with this technique!!!

Why don't you have a go of creating a shadow canvas this weekend?? Come on I dare you!


Make sure you share them here or add a link to yours here!!
I would love to see and be inspired by yours too!

Happy Friday People xxxxx

Australian Scrapbook Ideas - Issue 18 - Tried & Tested Mix'd Media Inx "Picture Perfect"

 Back again with the third layout from my Mix'd Media Inx article in Issue 18 in the Australian Scrapbook Ideas magazine. I never get tired of taking photos of my gorgeous daughter, I miss her so much now she has moved to Brisbane, over 10 hours away!!
I was so excited to learn today that this layout went to CHA!! Made my day, been one of those days where I have been feeling overwhelmed by everything and over tired! This was just what I needed!
You can check it out on the Australian Scrapbook Ideas Facebook Page HERE.

 

Tip:  Sand or use a distressing tool over machine stitching to create a distressed worn look.

Tip: Use water to blend the Mix’d Media Inx into your project to create softer more blended look.
