Never Grow Up by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hello and welcome to the Imaginiarum Designs blog.  Leonie here with you today sharing two 12x12 Scrapbook pages that I've loaded up with some fun Imaginarium Chipboard.  

The first one is uses some pretty florals from the Cocoa Vanilla Studios Bohemian Dream collection. 

Perfect for spring.

Never Grow Up

I used 'Loolabelle's Piechart and Hearts Embellishments', some 'butterflies' and 'Denise's Flourish'.

all of which suit the young, floral, fun theme I wanted to achieve with this page. 

I placed my photos and title in the centre of the page and  

created a circle of the chipboard pieces around my photos.  I added diecut flowers and shapes to fill out the circle and completed it with my Journalling.  I placed a little arrow at the beginning of my journalling. 

The chipboard pieces on this page have all been coloured simply and easily with Distress Paints.

Adding in some subtle shading using lighter paint colours and blending them. 

The Look Of Love

Next up is this page using the chipboard title 'The Look Of Love'.

I take quite a few sunrise/sunset photo's and I usually scrap them by creating a background using pinks, yellows and Orange as my colour combo.  I wanted to try something different with these Sunset photos so I used this Brown toned fence paling patterned paper and die cut elements from the 'You Rock' Cocoa Vanilla Studios collection. 

I added some white texture paste and doiliey for contrast.

Then I was left with altering my chipboard and I used my orange, Yellow and pink colours on them.

The banner has been heat embossed with gold embossing powder which I wasn't too happy with so I added some Kaisermists to it in yellow and pink.  It took a while to dry on the embossed surface but I like the added colours.

The pinwheel and title were both painted with yellow Distress Paint and when dry, I added Kaisermists to them as well.  This gave a mottled sheen to the chipboard which I really liked.

Leonie's September Spring Inspiration

Hello to our Imaginarium readers.  Leonie with you today.  Well spring is with us at last and I'm so glad winter is over, looking forward to the days getting longer and the sun shinning. 

Happy Birthday

I have some scrapbook pages to share today, this first one features my twin boys birthday celebration this year.  Can't believe they are 14!! Gorgeous boys and I'm beginning to see glimpses of the fine young men they will be one day.  

I've used the Happy Birthday sentiment, Moroccan corners and some Chevrons to embellish my page.

All the chippie has been painted with Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint. 

For something a little different I ran the birthday sentiment through the sewing machine.  Yes I know it's not straight ... but it's certainly not going to fall off either!

The corners have been stapled on, trying all different ways to adhere my chippie on this page!

The chevrons have been glued down.

Happy birthday

First Glimpse

I've been contemplating this chipboard title for a while thinking I should find a baby photo to scrap using this as the title.  Then I thought these sunrise photo's would suit just as well.  The Sun rising and getting a glimpse of a brand new day. 

I have used lots chipboard to embellish this page. 

I decided to colour them in the colours of the water of my photos which would make them stand out against the orange and yellows of my background. 

Below are some of 'Loolabelles Callouts' and one of 'Nats Hearts'. 

The 'First Glimpse' title piece and the 'Treasure Everyday' subtitle, I've used a two tone effect using Distress paints. 

Lastly I've used two of Nat's Pin Wheels to create my own little Sun embellishment - painted Yellow and some glitter added.

August Inspiration from Leonie

Hello Leonie Neal-Dawson here today.  I'm feeling super inspired and creatively recharged after spending the past weekend at a scrapbooking retreat. I created a heap of pages and of course used plenty of Imaginarium Designs Chipboard on them.  So I have three pages to share with you today.

Gone But Not Forgotten

This first page is about remembering my grandparents and I've used the 'Gone But Not Forgotten' chipboard title painted red with glossy accents painted over the top.  I've included along with this page Denise's Trellis two corner pieces to frame my design.

 Wine Girls

Wine Girls is my second fun page and I've used the chipboard phrase 'So Glad We Are Friends' as an extra embellishment.  The Tammy Flourish is used to border my photo's and then I've added some of Loolabelles Chevrons as directional pieces.

Too Glam To Give A Damn

My last page uses the Phillis Frame painted with Distress Paint to frame my centre photo.

A small script word - Seriously - and some of Nat's Hearts have helped to embellish my page.  I used Glossy Accents again painted over the chipboard to add a little shine to them.
