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.

Lazy Days by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hello and welcome to the Imaginarium Designs Chipboard blog, Leonie here with you today. 

I'm sharing two scrapbook pages today each featuring some pictures from last summer.

I guess I'm trying to channel some warmer weather but it's smack in the middle of winter here so I guess scrapping these memories will have to see me through, brrrrrrr!

Lazy Days

I used the 'Island Escape' Kaisercraft range for this photo of my Daughter at the beach.  using watercolour paints I recreated the layers of colours in the photo on the background cardstock.

The title Lazy Days has been given a gold dipped look using embossing powders by Stampendous and American Crafts. 

The 'Cherry Blossoms' and 'Beautiful' Chipboard pieces have simply been painted with white acrylic paint.  The chipboard Butterfly has been painted with Gesso and then sprayed with Turquoise Kaisermist.

Crazy Family

I had a fun time scrapping this sequence of photo's using the 'You Rock' Collection from Cocoa Vanilla Studios.

The chipboard pieces have been coloured with acrylic paint. 

I scattered some of Loolabelles Freaky Peep crosses, some starts, triangles and arrows around the the 

page as my embellishments. 

The swirly frame has been painted yellow and used to frame one of the smaller photos.

Colour Explosion by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hiya everyone.  Leonie here today.

By now hopefully you've seen or heard

 about our June challenge with this fabulous moodboard.  I absolutely adore the bright beautiful colours on this mood board.  They are such happy colours.

When I set about creating my page for this challenge I had some Dina Wakley paint left over and so I made some extra backgrounds and then thought well I may as well use these for my monthly blog post.  

This is what I came up with, bit of a colour explosion - plus one other which you'll see late in the month. 

*****

 'Reflections'

For this first page I used Nat's squares chipboard as a stencil to create the pattern on my background. Then I added the actual chipboard under my photo and overlayed it with my 'Reflections' title which I'd sprayed with white Gesso.  Keeping it simple I scattered some chipboard stars around the page which have been painted white and then sprayed with KaiserMists.

'Cheeky Grin'

My second page started out with lots of random stencilling on the background.  The title pieces have been painted with the same colours as the background and the bubbles were painted first then I glued some chunky glitter on them.

'Now And Forever'

Lastly I have this multi photo page, each photo has been matted on several layers of B&W patterned papers.  The title piece is painted black as have the flourishes.  The flourishes also have some texture paste dabbed on them.
