Hi there, thanks for stopping by!

Today, I want to share another creation using

My Creative Scrapbook's

August Limited Edition Kit!

This is a bit out of my element as I normally don't do many altered items, but I had so much fun with this, I can definitely see more in the near future!

Now who can have a St Tropez ocean themed collection without an anchor right?!?

This was really easy to make actually, I just laid the anchor atop my patterned paper and lightly traced it in pencil. After cutting and ensuring it was a good fit, I used my Invild Bolm Distress Tool to rough up the edges. then adhered the paper to the anchor. Now in hind sight, I should have painted the edges of the anchor before adhering the paper, but I was still able to paint it with the paper on it, I just had to take extra care not to let my painty fingers smudge the paper. to finish the anchor off, I layered flowers and embellishments from the St Tropez collection that were included in this kit, as well as some cheese cloth for added texture. Once again I gave everything a white wash coating to blend and make it all cohesive.

Thank you again for stopping by, I hope I have inspired you to create something gorgeous! I love reading your feedback, so be sure to leave me a comment! If you have any questions, leave me a comment, contact me by email or you can find me on facebook!

My Creative Scrapbook August Limted Edition Kit Layout

HelloThere!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope your having an amazing summer!

Today, I have another layout using

My Creative Scrapbooks

August Limited Edition Kit

to share with you!

This was actually a really quick and simple layout, with minimal detail. I kinda felt like the paper, embellishments and photo were gorgeous enough without a lot of extra detail added. I choose this phot, because one day I'd love to see the Eifel Tower in person. I have seen the one in Las Vegas, but somehow it's just not the same! There is something about Paris that romanticizes the whole idea! Literally all I did for this layout was layer a photo over some doilies before adding a couple of flower clusters and sentiments. I finish off the layout by adding a bit of splatter paint and a white wash coating over the flowers to mute down the colors a bit and help everything to blend a bit!

Simple, yet elegant!

My Creative Scrapbook August Reveal

Hello Everyone, thanks for stopping by!

 Today I am super excited to share some close up's and details of my first layout using

MY CREATIVE SCARPBOOK'S

August 2017 Limited Edition Kit!!

This kit features the lovely St Tropez kit from Prima Marketing as well as some beautiful Blue Fern Studios!

I had a lot of fun creating with this kit! In fact, it might just be my favorite one I've designed with for My Creative Scrapbook!

As you can see with the layout above, I layered and distressed the papers before adding some texture and dimension with some water colors, distress inks and Prima stamps.

 Here is a texture view of all the layout on my layout. I've combined crumbled up doily edges with some gorgeous Prima flowers as well as some delicate pink fussy cut flowers from the St Tropez collection. I also layered in a bit of raffia ribbon from my own collection just for added dimension and detail.

 Another close up

 This close up features a beautiful bicycle from the St Tropez Collection, It just seem to fit so perfectly with the color scheme, but more importantly, I could envision this gorgeous bike riding out in front of these gorgeous homes, it just seemed to fit and add character to my layout! I embellished it with more Prima flowers and fussy cut flowers.

 In this close up, you can see where I've distressed the paper edge and pulled back a bit to reveal the paper beneath the layout. Atop this, I've added another fussy cut flower to add dimension, but to also continue my theme of delicate gorgeousness!! I also added a bit of journaling to the edge of my photo, for those of you who have followed my work over the years, you may know that journaling is something that I'm pretty bad about including on my pages. However, seems how it's one of the most important elements on scrapbooking, I have been trying to make a conscious effort to include it on more of my layouts lately.

This is a close up of the top left side of my layout. Again featuring Prima flowers as well as some fussy cut flowers from the collection.

Another close up!

To finish off my layout, I gave everything a whitewash with gesso to tone down and mute the colors, to blend and make everything a bit more cohesive!!
