"You & Me" Maja Design Creation January

A very big hello to you and welcome! Today I have a Moodboard Creation for Maja Design for 2018.

So with all my Maja goodies in hand I printed off the current Moodboard for Maja Design and cleaned my craft area ready to create. I have copied the moodboard for you below. It is amazing !!
 Love everything about it. Have a look see for yourself.



And my project titled 

"You & Me"




I have used Maja Designs newest and very stunning collection Celebration to create with. Below are the papers which I have used to do so:








For my project I decided to do some stencilling using the Dusty Attic Damask Stencil. Through this stencil I added the Shimmerz Paste-eez. I used The "Cream" Team colour firstly heat set it and then applied the Salt of the Earth Paste-eez over the top to dull the original colour down. I found that heat setting the Paste-eez caused it to bubble and create an effective dimension about it. Over the top of this I then added some First Blush Inklingz, these are sensationally creamy and oh I love them. I was very generous with the amount that I used that I almost used the whole container! The colour of this is just stunning and matched my Maja Design papers perfectly. 

And of course for my project I added in lots of yummy Dusty Attic
yumminess to my project. All of these pieces listed below were dressed in Inklingz to create creamy gorgeousness to them.

Mini Captions #7

Small Scroll #2 2 pack

Vintage Keys DA0932

Skeleton Clock Face DA1689

ATC Frame #3 DA0675


You can see below the effect of the Paste-eez when it is heat set.  Soooo awesome!


Above and below you can see the Dusty Attic Chipboards which have been dressed with some Inklingz in the colour of Twinkle Twinkle. Another soft creamy colour to add to my keep forever checklist. This would go perfectly with mostly any shabby chic layout. 


And a few more closeups for you. Here you can see the frames that I have cut out from Maja's Celebration collection to make a matting for my photo. The photo was sanded and distressed to give that aged feel to it.


You can see here the layers of papers I used with The Dusty Attic Vintage Key and Skeleton Clockface. 


Here you can see the Dusty Attic Pearls that I have added to the Vintage Key. These pearls were highlighted using Inklingz First Blush. It creates such a smooth creaminess to anything you add it to. I also used this on my chipboards layering it up a couple of times to build the colours.


Here you can see the ATC frame which I cut in half and layered above each other. Remaining Maja papers were cut to sit in the middle of the frames. I also added in some fussy cut florals to help give dimension to my project.

Well that is all from me for today, but be sure to remember that when you make a purchase over at the Shimmerz Shop, if you mention "Tina" in the comments section during check out you will receive a free mini product with your order!



Until next time happy creating !!

"Paradise Found" Shimmerz Paints and Dusty Attic Design Team Creation.

Hi there and welcome back.
For my project here today I have combined my Shimmerz and Dusty Attic DT project.

This is ......"Paradise Found".....


I found these really cute photos of my youngest from our last visit to Toogoom last Easter and just couldn't resist using them. Of course when I took them I was a long way up the beach with my zoom lens on, but in the actual photo she looked so miniscul. So I decided to print off 2 photos and cut them down to sit inside 2 different sized frames.

I have used the Dusty Attic Ornate Cirle Frame Set. I absolutely adore this set. They are just stunning. I decided to highlight the intricate pattern on the inside of the circle so I firstly coated the frame sets with Shimmerz Paste-eez (Salt of the Earth) and heat set it so that it bubbled and set. Then I rubbed over a little more Paste-eez in (Sea U in th eMornin) very randomly and re heated the chipboard again. I then did some inking and covered them completely in a generous amount of Dusty Attic Crackle Varnish. Once my frames dried I adhered the photos on to the back of the frames and added some 49andMarket thick jute to the front of the frames to highlight the photo somewhat more.

Decorative Frame #1 DA0207


Clear Crackle Varnish DA0900

My background page is a simple piece of 12 x 12 chipboard primed with gessos and spritzed with some gorgeous Shimmerz Spritz "Chance of Rain". Once it dried I added in some Paste-eez (Salt of the Earth) through the Dusty Attic Fish Net Stencil and dried this off. I also did a little random stamping and inking of my background edges.

Mini Clocks DA0717


The Chain as you can see above was coloured using Shimmerz "Chance of Rain" Spritz.

Anchors DA0558


Mini Captions #13 DA1836


And above is the Clock face and hands that was coloured with "Sea U in the Mornin'" Paste-eez, ink and Dusty Attic Clear Varnish Crackle. 


 Clockface and Hands DA0391


And above you can see how well the Mystic Flourishes turned out. They were firstly inked with Walnut Stain Distress ink and then  randomly coloured using my finger with Shimmerz Creameez ("Firm Foundation"). Love how the colour turned out but I wanted it to really stand out so I added more Crackle Varnish over the top to really make the colours pop.

And lastly I have added in some gorgeous 49andMarket flowers with some little bits found at the beach.


Blossom Blends - Sea Breeze


Botanical Blends - Snow


Well that is all from me today. I hope you enjoyed my post and project here today.
Until next time happy scrapping.

"Moments" Creation for 49andMarket 2018

Hello and welcome back ! As promised yesterday I have my next creation created as part of my Design Team duties for 49andMarket.


To start my layout I decided to use two sheets from the Vintage Artistry collection, the Vintage Artistry Ephemera Cut Out Sheet a and b sides. I used the b side for my background page and applied some Texture Paste through the Dusty Attic Raindrop stencil. I also did some colouring with Dusty Attic Mountain Meadows Acrylic Paint. I also did a little random stamping with Jet black archival ink using the script from Gabi's Ethereal Stamp Set.

The a side of the Ephemera Sheet was used to create matting for my black and white portrait photo. These mattings were adhered together and then swiped over with a little gesso.


I have used the gorgeous Seabreeze Seaside Blooms combined with some Pina Colada Floral Mixology Flowers to embellish my layout. 



And for further embellishing I used the Archival Board set "Happy Moments". It has some fabulous pieces in it to use. When using the circular frame I wound some 49andMarket jute through it to help highlight my photo.






Here you can see some of the textures created using Crackle Paint and Acrylic Paint.




Closeups of some of the Archival Board pieces which I left bare. And some more close-ups for you below..........







Well I think that is all tonight. I certainly hope you have enjoyed your visit. I also hope that you had a great weekend and were able to do some creating yourself.
Until next time ....... happy crafting.
