Today I have some of Gloria's wonderful work to share with you. She has two projects for you - a layout and a card. I call Gloria the Queen of Cards, and you can see why. But first up is her layout, Gloria has done one using Graphic 45's Primer range of print papers.



I love they way she has made a frame around her page to set off her photo, and what a cute photo it is.

Our little Girl Title phrase (IDP0025)

Gloria has used one of our titles for her layout, along with some of our Girl Silhouettes.

Shapes Girl Silhouette (IDS0023)

I love the way Gloria has made paper rosette flowers and placed her chipboard shapes and letter on top.

Gloria has inked her chipboard and embossed it with clear embossing powder to give it a shinny finish.

What a lovely layout for a very special Little Girl, one to be treasured for always.

For her card, Gloria made a Happy Birthday Card with a eclectic feel to it. I love the way Gloria has tied all the elements of her card together.

Just look at the finish Gloria has got on her butterfly. To get this finish, you will need to ink your chipboard, then emboss it with clear embossing powder. To get a thick layer, you need to build up the embossing powder layer by layer and heating it between.

It's A BOY Thing ....

Hello again, Natalie here sharing the love today!

Today I am sharing a super cute boy page I created using Echo Park Papers and Imaginarium Chipboard!

As most of you know, creating boys pages can be a little more challenging but there is such an amazing range of male chipboard at ID making things a lot easier for you!

I used a brand new title - designed especially for this page - it's such an honor to be able to design for scrapbookers - knowing what works on a page and what sizes they need to be is really important to the design process.

The Circle Border is the 8inch size - I cut it down to stretch across the page to make it appear longer.

Circles Border (8") IDB0008

Both Chipboards have been painted with Black Spray Paint - we have found that this give a really great dense coverage that does not fade.

This gorgeous little man is Jackson, he is my next door neighbor and is just the cutest little person to Scrapbook!

Thanks for stopping by and dont forget to leave a comment to win some new release chipboards!

Have a great weekend!
Natalie

Creative from Head to Toe!

Hello Everyone

Today I have a lovely project from Asuka to share with you. She has created a special Mini Book. I must admit that when I saw the photo's of her book I was taken by surprise. What an interesting theme for a mini book, but now I have seen her toes, I can understand why you would want to make a book to match.

She has made her mini album to match the colours of her fingers and toes.



Just look at the lovely front of her cover. She has even included a set of nails on the her cover

The back is just as beautiful.

 Just look at the finish Asuka had put on her chipboard. I love the way she has the colour fading down the letters. Asuka has used perfect pearls on her oval frame to create little dots. She is so clever and her work is always beautiful.

Asuka has a real talent for layering and placing all her elements together. I wish you  could see in detail the back ground of her covers. Asuka always does the most amazing backgrounds before she even starts her projects. Again she has created another lovely project to share with us.
To see more of her work and her fingers! Check out her blog.
