Tag - Joy!

Hello Paper friends! 

I hope you all had a fabulous festive weekend filled with joy, love and fun. 

We're heading into the last couple of days for 2016. It's been a very exciting year. 

Cannot wait to see all the things that 2017 will bring!

For this tag I used all kinds of products from the Prima - Sweet Peppermint collection. Added some ribbon and  chipboard to create all the lovely layers.

For some final touches I splashed some inks and color blooms. All ready to sent it off to a family  member or friend or use it on a present. 

I hope you like it!

Happy New Year friends! See you all in 2017!!

Lydia

ScrapBerry's - December 25

Hello ScrapBerry and Paper friends.
Lydia here today with a layout made with the beautiful Winter Joy collection. 

The paper is already gorgeous enough so I did not want to cover it too much. Just used some clear crackle and white gesso around the page. Bringing an extra sparkle to it.

 I cut a few pieces in various sizes to create my layered look added with fuzzy cut pieces and chipboard pieces in there too. Once glued I added the flowers and other embellishments for a festive looking layout.

Some final splatters and we're all done!

Thank you so much for looking!

I want to wish you all a Merry Christmas and hope you have a wonderful time with family and friends.

Thank you all so much for your support it means so much to me.

Prima December BAP - Christmas Lights!

Sharing with you a layout I've made for the Prima December BAP. 

I always love the sketches Riikka Kovasin makes for us. So much fun to work with.

I've been trying to push myself to use some more mixed media lately. Sometimes it works better, sometimes it does not. I'm always happy when I manage to create a lot of layers in my work. With this layout I started with clear gesso. After that I got out the heave gesso and covered most of the page and tried to keep to the sketch with thicker patches. To get some glimmer in there I added some Snowflake paste in there too.

I cut out strips from the Sweet Peppermint collection and stuck them down resembling a funny looking Christmas tree. Hey, it's art and we can be having fun ;)!

Went over the tree with heavy gesso and once that was dry it was time to get out the Color Blooms. Now this is normally the time I give up, because my paper starts warping and I'm never happy with the result. This time I just went with it. Kept going. Dried in between the colors. Added water to make it spread, or just splattered when I felt that was what it needed. 

The Chipboard I also coated with gesso and embossing powder, sprinkling some sparkle over them and set that too. Time to get started on my layers. Using the paper, chipboard, lots of flowers, Christmas trim, string and die-cut holly leaves. For fun I decided to use the alphas in the 6x6 collection to make my title.

Around the layout also using the ephemera stickers for some fun words. To finish it all off I splattered with 13@rts white Splashink and the Carmine red Color bloom. Making it all festive and tied up in a nice little bow!

Thank you all so much for looking at my work and my blog!

I hope you all have a wonderful time this holiday season!

Wishing you a joyful Christmas with lots of love and cheer!

Christmas Greeting!

Hello Paper people!

Before my new design team spot starts at Blue Fern Studios I decided to play around a little with the papers and some of the chipboard I already had in my stash. Give it a little practice run.

Last years Christmas Vintage collection is so very beautiful and is timeless. 

My niece her little boy was just a year old here and having his first Christmas photo-shoot. 

As it turns out the start of a new Christmas tradition which I hope they continue for quite a while because it will give me the perfect pictures for years to come. They are so adorable.
Just this week I already received the ones for this year and can't wait to play with them.

For the hand made part I did a lot of the fuzzy cutting and tucked in a handmade tag.

Here some close-ups of the layout!

I would like to thank each and every one of you for supporting me this year. It's been such a roller-coaster of a ride. Could not have done it without you and so appreciate all of it.
I hope this time of the year finds you with lots of love and joy!

ScrapBerry's - Happy Holidays - December 25th

Hallo Paper and ScrapBerry's friends! Today I'm sharing a layout using the Once Upon a Winter collection with some fun mixed media.

 I prepped the paper first with clear gesso and used a stencil with paste to create texture. 

The Happy Holiday stamps were added around the page for some random effect.  Once the background was done I positioned all my papers and chipboard pieces to create the layers.  

Next I added all the mixed media to the page to finish it off. 

On the ScrapBerry's blog we're still doing our XMas Challenge, I hope you'll join in.

Thank you for looking!

Prima - Sweet Peppermint - Christmas Cards

Sharing today 2 Christmas cards I made with the Prima Marketing - Sweet Peppermint collection.

I used a Christmas ball shape as the base of my card. I chose the size of my card. Made a circle and attached a tab. Voila a Christmas Ball. 

To create some layers I made some smaller circles in different patterned paper and cheesecloth.  

On the background I used Snowflake paste with a stencil for an extra sparkly background.

Once all dry it's time for all the beautiful Sweet Peppermint flowers and decorations.  

I hope you like my creations and if so maybe you'd like to flow me! That be so awesome!

Thanks for looking!

Have a great day!

Sharing with you a layout I've made as Guest designer for the Scraps N Pieces December Challenge. After winning the October Challenge I was asked to submit my entry for December and am so very honored. Look at that gorgeous mood board.

I chose to work with the Maja Design - I Wish collection. It is beautiful and perfect to work with on a layered project. For my background I used a 13@rts stencil - Greetings. Used it with ink and Snowflake paste. 

Most of my layering was done using the fun sheet with all the stamps and cut-outs. 

Decorated with an assortment of Petaloo flowers, lace, chipboard and inks. The chipboard used is by Scrapiniec.
