Scrapbooking Global October 2019 blog hop Seeing Double

Blog hopping today with Scrapbooking Global. This month's theme is seeing double meaning a double layout.

So here are my 2 pages from our recent trip to Vietnam.

My youngest daughter has more personality than I know what to do with, but she is the cutest and loveliest little girl when she is happy :-)

Basic layout today

Basic Gray cardstock and photos mounted on Basic Black and Melon Mambo.

I stamped the background in versamark with the sand or bubble stamp from the Magical Mermaid set and added some bubbles with the Shimmery White Embossing Paste to give it a bit of texture and interest.



I added a little bit of Feels Like Frost designer series paper and some hearts punched in Melon Mambo and Silver Foil.




The title is Melon Mambo with the new Hand-Lettered Prose Dies.



A simple layout with black and white photos.

Hope you enjoy it

Home Decor SU Style Blog Hop April 2019

Welcome to my blog - you may have come from Renee Ondrajka's amazing blog.

It has been a while since I have taken part in one of these home décor style blog hops. But I am hoping to get back into it now.

One day I went through Spotlight (craft store) I saw they had big packs of canvasses on special, so I picked up 40 canvasses for $50AUD, what I bargain.

But then I had to think of something to do with them. Well, the kids had already spotted them and painted 10 of them, so better be quick :-)

I decided to do something with the hot air balloons from the Lift me up stamp set and Up and Away dies. They are beautiful and would be perfect decorations for a kid’s room, so off I went.
 

First, I sprayed the canvas with water ensuring it was completely wet. Then I used the aqua painter to water colour Balmy Blue ink on.

When the ink had dried, I used the negative image of a cloud die cut out and filled the void with Shimmery White Embossing Paste and added a few clouds to the canvas.
 

I stamped the two balloon images in Melon Mambo on Whisper White cardstock and cut them out with the matching dies.

I then stamped a greeting from an old retired stamp set in Melon Mambo on Whisper White cardstock and cut it out with the medium balloon die. I cut another medium balloon out of Melon Mambo cardstock and one of the large detailed balloons out of Whisper White.
 

I attached the cut balloons around the canvas, some using Multipurpose Liquid Glue and some using Stampin’ Dimensionals to add a bit of dimension.

 
I think it turned into a cute little décor item, which would be perfect for any little girl’s room :-)


If you like the balloons – stamps and dies – you better get in quick. These will retire with the current catalogue on 3 June 2019, but may sell out before, so make sure to order them as soon as possible :-)

Hope you are enjoying today's project, please leave a comment and please hop on to see the rest of the amazing projects.
