Heart & Soul Scrapbooking Stuff

challenge yourself with this sketch

Have a look at the "Heartmade" page for some hand made goodies that can be used for scrapbooking, cardmaking and crafts in general. If you wish to purchase anything I can be contacted by email or phone(details on the sidebar).

This week's colour palette looks lovely and I am going to make the time to make a layout and I thought I would make a card as well!! Have fun and happy crafting.

Sketches & colour ideas

 Here are a few more inspirational ideas. I love all the flowers and it inspires me to create some more layouts. With our renovations nearly finished I have more time to play! These layouts don't have to be girly and flowery. By choosing more masuline papers & embellishments they can be adapted to the males in your life. Choose the papers & embellishments to suit the theme of your photos. Be adventurous and try using mediums such as texture paste, gesso, paints & sprays on your layouts for a different finish. If you are unsure about making a whole layout then try these products by making a card first or even on a tag that can be used on your layout. Have fun & play!!

Inspiration

Here are some more sketches & colour schemes to get the creativity flowing. Have fun with them and make them suit your photos & what you like.

This is a ready made layout for Easter...all that is needed to be done is to add the photos! Readymades are good for gifts or just using up the paper you really love but don't have a photo for yet!

sketch #6

The sketch only had 1 photo but I added 2 to show the whole story of the kyak-DH just HAD to have one! The banner was made by cutting diamond shapes & folding them in half & sticking them onto a piece of cord with sticky dots. The chipboard word was painted using paint daubers & then Dimensional Magic was dotted on to create water droplets. The green border was traced & cut from a stencil.

I haven't done a lot of scrapbooking lately as I have been sorting out my stamps. To store them I put them in a plastic sleeve & then into a folder. I would like to have a catalogue of them to see what they look like stamped up....but that's a job for another day!

sketch #2 

I have been making layouts from sketches from the pencillines website. They started at the beginning of the year so I have a couple to do to catch up. Here are 2 more that I completed.
The first one I did as a double layout as I wanted to use all the photos. The sketches are below the layouts.

The small tag is from a tshirt and I added a leather frame & stick pin.

The title is cut from sizzix words & gems were adhered to the swirl on the word as well as inbetween the butterflies.
