Where does the time go!

With all three kiddos home, it seems like time is not on my side!  I have a few layouts to share to play "catch-up" of sorts ;).

This is a layout that I completed using Crate Paper's "Random" Collection.  Lots of layers but yet  very simple. I love that my daughter was trying to hold back a laugh while I was being super silly.....she couldn't contain it for long!

Check out how intense those butterflies are!  They were sprayed with Clearsnap's new Stephanie Barnard Premium Dye Ink Sprays in "Blueberry!"  I LOVE how "pure" and rich the colors are with these sprays.  The doilie has been sprayed with "Guava." The best part....the sprays won't warp your paper....yep, had to see it to believe it!

Ok, don't laugh...hehe, but this is my first EVER 2 page layout.....that I was FORCED to do using a SKETCH no less (double whammy) by my LSS (Scrapping Frenzy).  I will stick to one pagers please and thank you! :) ....well in their defense, they were trying to get me to think outside my box ;).

This is a tag I completed for Clearsnap featuring lots of Smooch Spritz, embossed resist background, Want2Scrap chip and bling....and lots of other little touches to complete the look!

I will be sharing a layout really soon featuring more of the Clearsnap Stephanie Barnard Sprays!!! Have a great week y'all! ;)

Just a quickie

Hey!  This is just a quick post sharing some recent projects that I've completed for Clearsnap.  You may or may not have already seen them...if so, cool! If you haven't, you can find them on their blog (for more detail) and FB fan page. 

 This layout featured lots of Smooch Spritz using a stencil and water to create a reversed stencil watercolor effect. 

Here in this mixed media layout I've used Smooch Accent Inks to color the flowers that were applied using a stencil and modeling paste...the ink gives the dimensional flowers such a bang.

And this is another layout that I completed just doing freeform sewing and again using Smooch Accent Inks with water to color in the sewn circles.

Have a great week y'all!!!

Let's jump right in!

Here's the collection  I got to play with, "Making the Team"

                                                     

Here's what I chose to do with these surprisingly versatile papers!

OK, so yes, these papers would've been perfect for my five year old son that plays t-ball, but I wanted to shake it up a bit and make the papers work for a girl as well!

Here are a few close-ups:

The rosette was created using side B of the "Stripes" printed paper.  I used Clearsnap's Glue Gloss and Fairy Dust Glitter for Donna Salazar to add bling- you know, for the girl factor ;).  In addition, I used French Blue and Charcoal Fluid Chalk-Cat's Eye inks to edge the rosette for added dimension.  I finished it off by applying Clearsnap's Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz (yummy stuff!)

The shipping tag behind the picture was colored with Navy Twinkle Smooch Spritz and water.  The pennant flag and alphabet stickers are just a few of the many cardstock stickers that came with this collection. 

The flag banner was created with another piece of coordinating cardstock and a piece of canvas drop cloth.  I highlighted some of the polka dots on the printed paper with Clearsnap's "Illuminate" Smooch ink.

The layout was finished by spritzing Vanilla Smooch Spritz to add a beautiful shimmer all over!

You're almost finished...let's get hopping for a chance to win some awesome prizes!
