little pixie {CCG #192 & dusty attic}

hello lovely friends!

my newest project is a combination between the color combos galore colour challenge #192:

and dusty attic's monthly sketch:

and here is the result:

i used the tinker bell themed papers and embellishments from sandylion, glimmer mist, PRIMA marketing flowers, martha stewart punches, lace and copic ciao markers.

i started with white cardstock and two bottles of glimmer mist - delphinium and caribbean blue. after some spaying and misting the result was fit for a fairy-layout:-)

i used the DUSTY ATTIC dress form #2 chippie, which i embellished with a green lace (it was originally white, but thanks to the WONDERFUL hula hoop glimmer mist, i got the green colour i needed) and blue wings (cut out from glittery cardstock).

for the title i used the sandylion tinker bell alphabet. i added gem stones, which were pre-coloured with copic ciao emerald green (G05) marker.

i ruffled and twisted the ribbons, to create dimensional effect. i stitched a lot as usual and added more gem stones:-)

the 3d pictures of Tinker Bell have no purpose, but there are so cute and i couldn't resist not to add them to my layout:-)

i used PRIMA markeing innocence collection (# 540272) for the white flower. to create the soft off white colour, i sprayed the blossom with perfect pearls mist (perfect pearl) and glimmer mist (Silver). i used martha stewart punches and some glittery cardstock for the butterflies.

and that's how i've created my fairy layout for my LITTLE PIXIE ELISE:-)

thank you stopping by!

adore {aussie scrap source}

hello bloggers!

this is a layout i made for the challenge going on at the aussie scrap source. the challenge is to create an artsy-grunge layout. i think i've managed the artsy part well, but the grunge... not so sure...

i did a lot of doodling on this layout - i really love my white ball pan:-) i used some PRIMA marketing flowers, k&company stickers and tags, brads and lace.

here are some close ups:

i drew the title first with white pen and then I added stickles diamond glitter glue.

i hope you enjoyed my creation!

the color room palette #58

hello scrappy friends:-)

another palette is up at the color room - the sun room:

the soft colours are perfect for a girly layout, but i've decided to try a boyish one this time:-) my decision was based mainly on the multi-picture sketch - i've got so many "in a row" pictures from theo, when he was a really tiny cute baby, and i always had trouble choosing the best ones... so a 4-picture layout looked like the perfect solution!:-)

here is my attempt to re-create this palette:

 i called it "4 in a row" - you can see why:-)

i used the irresistible snuggle bug boy paper line from LYB. they also have a girl version. both collections are perfect for baby pictures - they feature soft, sweet colours and adorable, whimsical snuggle bugs:-)

i started with white card stock, which i sprayed with glimmer mist sunflower. the white half shells mask is just a punched border:-) i used martha stewart's deep edge punch 'daisy fan'.

i used some white lace and paper strips for decoration. the big button comes with the brown print and i added the white stripes to match my design.

for the title I used different alpha & chipboard sets. i coloured the chipboard elements with gesso first and then i added some stickles:-)

the charming laundry chippies are from maya road. i coloured them with gesso first and then i added some of the adorable snuggle bug rub ons, to create the print on my 'baby clothes'.

the cute bug comes from the matching snuggle bug clear cuts.

i really like this pictures of theo. his smile is so cute and adorable and i just had to high-lighted it:-)

i used stickles on the corner heart too.

i really enjoyed myself working on this palette. and i'm definitely going to play along with the next palette as well!:-)

MME blog challenge # 23: fun times

hello everybody!

i had a few busy weeks with friends and celebrations:-) and i was away from my helpful dell, but now i'm back and i'm ready to start posting:-)

today i want to share a layout i made for the MME may sketch challenge:

i used the lil' robots paper line from MME. theo is wearing a cute robot t-shirt on those pictures and i thought this collection will be a perfect match!:-)

i drew and cut the big gear wheel myself - it is pretty obvious, eh;-) and as you can see i doodled a lot on this layout, but no stitching... LOL!

i had those cute brads forever, but never managed to place them on any of my projects... up to now!

i added some mod podge dimensional magic to some of the robots. it always looks so good. it makes the images really pop up.

the colour combination is inspired by one of the colour palettes at the color room - palette #39.

i hope you enjoyed my newest creation.

thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful sunday!

hugs 'n smiles,

Emmy
