Funkysaurus and Perfect Pearls.

Any chance I get to scrapbook Dinosaurs, I will! I saw the new line from Paperloft called Funkysaurus, and I had to have it! Lucky for me, I just happen to have a few pictures from Dinoland this past October.

At Scrapbooker's paradise the feature item is Perfect Pearls. I love working
with these sprays, the colors are beautiful. For my page I decided to add a few
wood grain effects just so the paper had a bit of pizazz. By using the crafters workshop
templates I sprayed the perfect pearls over top, then used the heat tool to dry it.
Now I have a shimmery beautiful background for my dinosaurs.

I tore a few strips of corrugated cardboard, and used rusty hinge distress ink on the edges.
Then I sprayed it with green patina perfect pearls. I hope you can see the shimmer, it adds
such a nice look to the textured cardboard.

 I cut a few Dino footprints from the Dinosaur track cricut cartidge, and glued
them randomly around the pages.

Always have to have a hidden Mickey!

 The Paperloft also has sheets to cut out that coordinate with the paper line.

This is the right side of the 2 page layout, the buttons are from Prima.

You can see the wood grain effect behind the picture. 

Here is the double page together. Have a Happy Scrappy Day :-)

Hello all.... This Graphic 45 paper has been staring at me so I dug up an old picture of my great grandmother walking down Portage Avenue in Winnipeg. I love how they used to take these pictures? Every city, has these walking pictures... they are pretty kewl and I thot it deserved a "Place in Time" 

 First thing I did was try out a new Ranger product, it works great! It's sticky embossing powder and how it works is, in this case, I dabbed some versa marker on my snowflakes, then sprinkled on the sticky embossing powder, heated it and while it was still hot then I sprinkled glitter onto it. Voila! A great medium to stick glitter, with a quick pass over of the heat tool again, the glitter is stuck! ( You could also stamp into versa mark and use it that way, or cover chipboard with versa mark, and do the same steps )

 I had to add some snow drifts and that product is called liquid applique. It's in a tube, you place a few "snowdrifts" on an area, and when you heat it, it puffs up! So kewl! Before you heat it you can add a bit of glitter to it also and it will be embedded in the snow.

 more snow.....

 the stamps are crumpled and covered with glossy accents. Don't ask me why, but I always feel compelled to crumple stamps!

 The page itself had a few snow drifts on the letters, so I covered them with the liquid applique and made them 3D. Then on parts of the letters and swirls I used diamond stickles to highlight some areas. I didn't do the entire word cause I wanted my snowflakes to stand out.

 along the bottom, I cut out a few of the girls, and used popdots to give them some height.

and the final result :-) Hop over to Scrapbooker's Paradise to get the shopping list, and have a Happy Scrappy Day :-)

From white to wow

 My challenge to myself was to take a bunch of different white papers..... and turn them into pretty colors and patterns.

 This is what I started with, a resist paper, a smooth piece of white cardstock, and 2 more white with a texture on them.

 Find your favorite flourish stamp and stamp all around the edge of one background piece and your photo mats.

 Use archival ink, so it won't smudge. Then I used faded jeans distress ink and inked all around the edge over the stamped image.

 next was a few embossed chipboard pieces. I cut out the clock from the Tim Holtz die weathered clock, and embossed it with aged aqua. I used the new Emboss It dabber, it's amazing for big pieces!

 I did a few snowflakes too, not sure yet which ones I wanted to use.

 then I started layering and tucking chipboard and strips of paper cut with an edge punch all around the page.

 For this purple layer it was the white paper with embossed snowflakes on it. I used Dusty Concord distress stain and covered it, the embossed snowflakes show up beautifully.

I cut a few snowflakes out of the best creations glitter paper, and added some gem flourishes and bling.

After the page was complete, I couldn't decide which was I wanted it to be? this way

or this way??  Any suggestions? lol 

Well goal achieved :-) it's not white any more.... Hop over to Scrapbooker's Paradise to see the shopping list, and have a Happy Scrappy Day :-)
