My name is Kerryn Fry, I am partner
to Shane and mother to Harrison.
I have been crafting for nearly
12 years, mostly scrapbooking, doing the occasional
card and more recently trying a little mixed media.

My biggest confession is to
being a chipboard junkie from way back. I love its versatility,
it always shines whether dramatically altered or left in a natural state.

I am mostly a masculine scrapper,
but can occasionally put together the odd girlie page.
Whatever I create, it will almost always have chipboard somewhere featuring on it.

So you can understand how excited I
was when asked to design a few projects using
Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

My favourite photos of
you
This page was started with a Kraft
cardstock base, given a lift with a few different background layers. A messy
scraping of white gesso, two different blues from the Distress Ink range
squished onto the gesso and then a stencilled layer of texture paste with a
swipe of black Distress Ink left on the stencil. The honeycomb pieces were
coloured using multiple colours of Distress Paint matching the main photo and
then given a shiny finish with Dimensional Magic. The Nested Arrows which have
been placed to keep the focus on the main photo and title have been simply
coated with black Distress Paint and then the hollow section of the arrows were
backed with patterned paper. Nat's hearts have been given the same treatment as
the honeycomb pieces. The title was the main inspiration
for this page, I love challenging myself to include loads of photos
on one page. 
Gorgeous Smile
Another Kraft cardstock base,
definitely my go-to choice!
The background effect was simplified
for this page, using two Distress Inks and two stencils.
My new fav
collection Crate Paper 'Cool Kid' features on this page with a great balance of
primary colours. The chipboard star pieces are the Nested Arrows with the same
alteration as the previous page with black paint and patterned paper. The
little robot guy is just so cool! It was given a good gesso base
coat, the silver parts were coloured with a pen, the majority of the robots was
coloured using chalk pencil and a fixative. A little detail was added with
black pen and then a final coat of Dimensional Magic. I love how rustic he
looks. The title was coloured with Distress Paint and Dimensional Magic. Can you
tell I like shiny finishes......a lot! No seriously, I think it makes the
colours look more vivid when needed.
Live for Today
This page is my favourite of the three
projects.
You can't beat the chance to hang with the big sister and we
love doing things together when the chance arises. The page has been created
using Kaisercraft 'Boho Dreams'. The chipboard twigs and leaves were given
a marbled paint effect as the base with four different greens in the Distress
Paint range, once dry, a random layer of Diamond Stickles was added
as a 'snow' finish. The title was started with a thick base of gesso and then
layer of white Distress Paint, once dry the Abandoned Coral Distress Paint was
roughly smooshed to the top half of the title. Stickles was used to highlight
the script part of the title. Also added the metal snowflakes from Seriously
Scrapbooking, they have been given two coats of white Distress Paint and a
little Stickles.
A huge Thank You to Imaginarium Designs for giving
me the opportunity to
play with their chipboard, I've had a ball!
