Sugar & Spice by Sam

This is my very first blog post here, and I would just like to say how much fun I have been having so far as a member of the Design Team. One of the things that I am loving about being on the DT is that I am being challenged to use chipboards that I would not normally use and therefore I am creating layouts that I wouldn't normally create. However that is not the case with the chipboard that I have used on the LO for this post. I absolutely love love love this chipboard and let me tell you, it has been put to the test. I only wish that I had taken photos of what I did to this poor chipboard.

I had heaps of fun creating this LO and it all started with the chipboard. One of the great things about this chipboard is that it comes in 2 pieces (sugar & spice) and (& all things nice) which makes it heaps easier to fit to a layout because you can move it around much more easily. Well this chipboard started out with being covered in tacky glue, then I used a designer foil over it, I then decided that that was too much for it so I kept the designer foil look for the first part of the chipboard and decided to cover the second part with some liquid pearls straight over the top of the foil. Well after I put the layout together I decided that the chipboard was all wrong for it and it was getting lost with the busy paper so I then made the chipboard glittery instead. Let me tell you, I was impressed with what I put it through and it turned out looking fabulous.

I had so much fun with this LO and love how it turned out, I have included some close ups of the embellishments for you as well J

Well I hope that I have provided some inspiration. Have a great day!

Inspiration by Irit.

Hello, my dear A2Z friends!

I am Irit and this is my very first blog post here and this time I am going to share the way to play with A2Z chipboard titles. Sometimes we have a great title, but not a great fit to our page. So my way to fit it is to cut it to pieces and then to use each piece on a different page- frugal too, if you don't have to many title pieces as it was with me before I became A2Z DT member.

So I had this most gorgeous Sweet and Sassy chipboard and my black and white old photo was not so sassy, but sweet only. Bingo! I made one single cut and I used this Sweet part of it only on this shabby/vintage scrapbooking page here.

I covered it with 3-4 pastel chalk inks and then covered  it all with Ranger Distress Glossy Accents glaze.

Now I had a second - And Sassy- part of the title and this was just perfect for cute and sassy page here.

I added Happy before the piece of a chipboard and BFF after and got this mixed title, perfect for this page.

I covered it with red pigmented ink this time, heat embossed with  clear Utee embossing powder and them randomly stamped some pearly white dots with the pencil eraser back.

So you can see one single chipboard title used for  two  different page with different techniques.

And one single project just to show you A2Z most gorgeous butterfly added to my glittery die cut garden made for Robin's Nest DT blog post.

Hope I inspired you a bit and see you next month with more A2Z inspiration!

Thanks for looking.

... Until Next Time ...

LAYOUTS from Monica's SCRAPROOM

Well it has been wonderful being on holiday and spending some much needed ME time in my scraproom......Julie's parcel couldn't have arrived at a more perfect time!!!  After a very busy school term, I was ready to focus totally on my hobby!

No particular theme, I just scrapbooked whatever inspired me on the day ...could be a photo, new papers but most often it was my a2zscraplets....I just went with the flow and enjoyed every minute of the journey. The first layout is of my firstborn son, Shaun, only a few hours after his birth on the 20th March 1986...oh what a wonderful feeling to be a mum! I could not take my eyes off him!!!

TITLE: MUM'S LITTLE MAN

Fast forward 24 years and one week to the 27th March 2010...his WEDDING day! What a handsome GROOM! His younger brother, Richard was his Best Man.

TITLE: GROOM

DOODLET 11

TITLE: BEST MAN and FLORALETTE Bird 10

Till next month,

Happy scrapping!
