July Projects - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Imaginarium Designs lovelies!!

It's Karyn here and today I'm sharing some scrapbook pages made using lots of gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard.

The photos on this first project were taken last winter just after a hailstorm - we were surrounded by a blanket of ice.

I've used papers, washi and a tag from the Heidi Swapp Magnolia collection as the basis for my page and decided to leave all of the chipboard raw which coordinated well with the papers. 

I've added some embellishment clusters of chipboard, flowers and flair around my photo. 

I've added a geotag embellishment from Charms Creations - I love how rustic and  quirky these embellishments are.

Lastly I added splatters of black and gold Heidi Swapp Color Shine across my page - I love that there are splatters on some of the embellishments!

Next I have another scrapbook page made using more gorgeous Imaginarium Designs chipboard and the Paper House "Hello Baby" Girl collection. I taught this at a recent class at Seriously Scrapbooking.

The photo is of me as a baby - wasn't I cute lol :)

I started by creating a background on white cardstock using Distress Oxides. Then I layered this on some of the super cute paper from Paper House.

I painted all of the chipboard gold - using a single colour helps to unify the page.  

Rectangles of different papers were used under my photo - this is a great way to use up leftover scraps of papers. Lastly I added some cute puffy sticker embellishments across the page.

Time Creates Wonderful Memories by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hello and welcome!  Leonie here today posting on the Imaginarium Designs Blog. 

Lets hop right in to things shall we and I'll share this first page where I've used lots of gold mediums to highlight the golden sunset glow in the photo.

Time Creates Wonderful Memories

As mentioned the background has several different gold coloured mediums, including Heidi Swapp Color shine, Texturez paint by Shimmerz, Finnabar's Glass Glitter, and LuminArte Artist Pigment.  I was trying to recreate that golden glow of the river in the photograph.

I accented it with die cut flowers and added the Imaginarium Designs flourish and clocks.

My second page uses the Thoughts of you title piece which I coloured with black ink.

Thoughts of You

I laid my photo over the top of the Art Deco Frame which I painted with green paint Dabber.  There are also some Chipboard chevrons on the page.  The centre of the chevron is inked green and the outer chevron shape I inked in black.

To finish off today I whipped up a couple of cards in an attempt to stash bust some of the patterned papers I have!  I think I may need to make a lot more than two cards to make a dent in the stash but it's a start.

Cheers til next time,

Leonie's September Chipboard Love.

Hello Imaginarium fans, Leonie here today spreading the chipboard love.  The first page I have to show you has tons of chipboard and I've treated each of them in different ways.  

I've scrapped a picture of my family taken last ANZAC day which was the 100th anniversary of the first campaign that led to major casualties for the Australian and New Zealand forces during the First World War.  It was such a memorable day for us all, filled with many activities and images that won't soon be forgotten.

Because it was such a full day I wanted to fill my page with images and symbols that reflected this.

So first up I used one of the Imaginarium sunbursts and cut it in half to represent the rising sun as pictured on the ANZAC symbol.  I painted it with gesso to begin with as I did all of the chipboard pieces I've used on this page, I then painted the sunburst with Dylusions paint.

Of course the title piece 'Honouring The Past' doesn't need an explanation.  I coloured this with green and yellow Gelatos and then gently sponged gesso over the colour to get a more subtle, muted effect. 

The stars in the sky I sprayed with Heidi Swapp Gold color shine and I arranged them to form the southern cross constellation as pictured on the Australian flag.

The little clock was painted with turquoise Izink and represents the passing of time and the sacrifices that will never be forgotten no matter how much time passes. 

The leaves I thought looked like gum leaves part of our native flora.  

 I coloured these with Gelatos as well.  

On to my second page 'Our Best Friend' featuring our dog Trixie!

I kept the title inked in black (so that it would stand out again the colourful background) and I covered the dog part of it in texture paste.

The chevrons were painted with delusions paints and added some direction towards the photos on my page. 

The second photo I used was quite dark so I placed one of our Imaginarium Designs frames over it to help draw the eye to the subjects in the photograph.   

Thanks for stopping by the Imaginarium designs blog, I hope you've been inspired in some small way.  Happy Creating.
