Frightening layout for CE daily

Hi everyone and Happy Halloween..

I'm here today to share a "Frighteningly awesome" layout I created as my design team project for Creative embellishments using those scary zombies in the Creative Embellishments store.. I am totally in love with them..LOL

Here is the layout I created:

We here in Finland don't celebrate Halloween like we used to in the States, so I actually found an old photo of my friends and I getting ready to go out trick-or-treating and attached that to this layout.. But Unfortunately, not everyone wants their face all over the internet, so I decided to share my layout without the actually photo attached :)

How about some close ups and details:

I started off with a green piece of cardstock that I stenciled spider webbing to and then used a white gel pen to add the white lines of the webbing..  adding small details with a stamps and then paint splatter..

 

I painted my zombies with green paint and then finished them off with black paint.. I thought they looked better with clothes on..LOL  and these wood veneer spiders are so creepy, I decided to paint them yellow to go with my color scheme..

   

 I wanted to create a whimsical style title to my layout, so added lots of layers and then attached the title to one of the zombies.. 

  

and finally my creepy tree branch with the spider..

 

Thanks for checking out my layout.. till next time..

Spook-tacular wall art -CE daily

Hi fellow crafters..

I'm here to share a spook-tacular wall art frame I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments, from an old frame I had found at a thrift store for a couple of bucks..

I think it measures about 6" x 15" and I had a blast covering the whole thing with lots of Halloween themed goodies..

Here is what I created:

I started my project by painting the frame black and then rubbing some silver inka-gold paint on it to get that higher bits to pop..

then created the background using cheese cloth and several stencils, texture paste and sprays.. I also used lots of the Lindy's pigment powders.

How about lots of close ups and some details:

Here you can see all of that fun texture the cheese cloth created..

I  added a flourish to top corner of the frame along with that light and spider.. Funny how the spiders tend to come out of hiding during Halloween :)   I  also added lots of purple micro beads and some art stones,which I then sprayed with turquoise spray.

for the bottom of the frame, I added lost of flowers, spider webbing, pumpkin and spiders..

Some of the spiders I covered with 3D gloss gel and the covered it with micro beads..

This is my favorite spider.. I added some of the art stones to look like spider eggs.. Super creepy..LOL

and that is my creepy Halloween themed re-purposed frame, which I had so much fun creating.. Looks like a lot of work but it was really super simple.. just adding layers and colors :)

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my project..

Till next time

I'm mad about you- CE daily

Hi fellow crafters...

Because I absolutely love Halloween, I wanted to share a fun Halloween themed layout I created as my design team project for Creative embellishments, *using some photos of my son Aaron (age 24) and of course using some of the fabulous "horrifying"  chipboard elements from the Creative Embellishments store.. Here is the layout I created:

I started off with just a plain piece of white cardstock and added some brick to the background using a stencil and distress ink.

I pained my chipboard elements with acrylic paint which I mixed myself to get the colors I wanted, lime green and a dark orange.  The black chipboard pieces I inked with Archival ink in black.. adding some white paint dots for detail..

for the bubbles/foamy pieces, I used the bubbles chipboard pieces, I actually layered some and gave my bubble/foam a set of eyes. LOL

The title to my layout I created myself using my silhouette cameo and cardstock colors to match my layout..

 

 for the potion bottles, I painted them with acrylic paint and then added paint splatters to match my theme.. attached them to my layout using foam tape..  

I love the book chippies.. I wanted to create like a stack of books for spells and potions etc to go with my theme.. I also loved gears, so of course those needed to be added to my layout. The Gears background panel is great for a cluster of gears, which is what I used..

I tucked the bubble pieces under my photos and finally added lots of paint splatter to may layout in various colors to match my theme..

Thank you for stopping by and taking a look at my layout.. Till next time

Autumn Day- CE daily

Hi fellow scrappers..

I'm here to share a fun autumn themed layout I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments, using a photo of my senior pup.. He is turning 13 but has the energy and creativity for mischief as a 2 yr old..LOL   I used lots of beautiful chipboard elements to help create my autumn scene..

Here is what I created:

I used Autumn Day papers from the Photo Play 6x6 paper pad..

Using smaller paper pads are awesome when you can cut them up to create your background, less waste..

How about some close ups and details on how I created my layout:

I added the flourish to my layout, highlighting them with lots of different colored flowers.. I wanted to stick with autumn colors.. creams, brown, greens and oranges.. Those are definitely some of my all time favorite color combinations..  I also wanted to add that "little" detail and decided to used some large art stones by Prima..

   

I also used a few pumpkins, tucking them behind some of the flowers I had added.. I colored those using some of Lindy's Magical pigment powders and a water brush, it made putting the color on my chipboard so easy and I did not use any gesso this time..

 

I adore the flairs in the Creative embellishments shop.. I decided to add a few of the Happy Tails flairs to my layout.. and by the way, the only thing you need to "beware" of with this dog, is the fact that he will lick you to death..LOL

 

For some of the leaves, I added a few autumn leaves and decided to keep them raw chipboard and not add any color to them. I absolutely love how they look with the fall colors..

 

and there you have my autumn themed layout..

Thank you for stopping by and checking out my daily for today.. Till next time..

Travel Journal for CE daily

Hi ladies and gents :) 

 I'm here to share a little travel journal I created as my design team project for Creative Embellishments. Its to Journal and add photos from our trip to Sweden a few weeks back..  I like to recycle packaging from items I've bought instead of throwing them away.. I mean free cardboard is free cardboard :)..

So, for my journal which measures about 4x6, I used recycled cardboard, a few envelopes, some sewing pattern paper, sheets of advertisements,  brown lunch bags and the papers are by Prima.. using a 6x6 paper stack for small projects is awesome.. I also used some washi tape and lots of stamps..

Here is what I created:

I used two of the large film strip photo frames on the cover and I also did some fussy cutting..

I loved the hot air balloons on the paper and wanted those on my cover :) ...

I covered my cardboard using Prima's Cartographer paper pad then colored my chipboard elements using Archival ink pad in black. it was super easy to rub the ink onto the chipboard, which I the rubbed some gold Inka-Gold paint on the surface to age the chipboard..

I'm totally in love with this nautical compass. looks great on the cover of a travel journal :)

I added lots of pages to my journal, along with some pockets and envelopes ( to hold receipts, tickets, boarding passes etc)

 

 Because this is such a small book, I can't add too much bulk on the inside.. I actually had to tear out some of the pages, cause they would not fit..LOL  for detail, I used the distressed script stamp on the background of my paper bags, love how it ended up looking.. Then I added a lot of washi tape, around pages to support the edges and then used some thinner washi to hold down my photos, which I attached to black cardstock and then journaled on with a white gel pen..

I still have lots of photos to add to my journal along with lots of text.. I printed these photos myself on my home printer, but I think I'd prefer to have professional photos instead :)

and there you have my little travel journal.. It was so much fun to create and I hope I have inspired you to create one of your own.. all you need are some small sheets of thick cardboard, papers of your choice and of course awesome chippies from the Creative Embellishments store :)..

Thank you for stopping by today and checking out my journal..

Till next time.. Hugs
