December Creations & Farewell from Amanda Baldwin

Hi Everyone!

Today I am sharing my final projects for Imaginarium Designs.

I have been on this amazing DT for 2 years now, and have loved every minute of it!

With an enormous 2017 ahead of me though, it's sadly time to say goodbye!

So before I get all sentimental & misty eyed, here's my December creations.....

First up, I am sharing this pretty layout,

"You Are Amazing"

Prettiness overload!

I have used the stunning new Pink Paislee collection, 'Moonstruck' and combined it with our favourite chippies to achieve this delicate and girly page!

So soft and dreamy!

Here's a closer look.....

SO many elegant and pretty chippies here!

My sweet butterflies have been treated with Faber-Castell Gelatos in white and cotton candy pink, I blended them together a little to get colour variations in each one.

Those intricate flourishes have been coated in white Gelatos too! I have layered them over a couple leaf stencils adding more texture, depth and interest.

I adore the precision cut words and phrases, and this title is just exquisite!

I've coated mine in a classic, matte Gold ink - here's another view.....

It really is divine, huh?!

The gold also adds warmth to the right hand side of the page, and completes the rule of three triangle with the orange watercolour in the base paper.

Here's another view of the butterflies.....

So very pretty, indeed!

A gorgeously girly page for my darling daughter!

You Are Amazing

My next project is quite different from my usual style, and serves as a bit of a thankyou to the team at Imaginarium Designs for helping me to grow.....

"Grow" Sentiment Tag

Wow! Told you it wasn't my 'usual' style ;)

Very shabby, and quite a bit edgy for me!

Lots of awesome chipboard and techniques to share too!

First up, I coated my large size chipboard backing tag in Lindy's Stamp Gang: Starburst Spray in Golden Oats, then while it was still wet, I rubbed some Lindy's Screamin' Black Banshee Magicals all over.

It looked just like my intricate butterfly......

I left the butterfly with the Gold & Black treatment - it really looks amazing, don't you think?!

I then coated my backing tag in a rough coat of gesso, and once dry I ran it through a bricks pattern embossing file.

My tag was then roughly sanded back to reveal some of the Lindy's treatment, as well as a few raw sections too!

The final treatment for my large tag was a good splattering of black ink!

Next up, I added the window frame - which is just treated with black Archival Ink, as are my sentiment words.

Then embellished with the butterfly, leaves, and blooms.......

Such a gorgeous little off the page number!

Make A Wish & Take Me Away with Imaginarium Designs!

Hi Everyone!

Happy September!

Amanda here, & I've got a couple of gorgeous, bright and colourful layouts to share, including another of my boy/girl double pages - so let's get straight to it!

First up, I am using the new Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Make A Wish collection

to show off some fabulous chippie phrases and shapes....

Isn't this stunning?!!

A really cool double pager that also works as two single layouts!

I've used a few of my fave phrases as well as some hearts & stars to embellish with.

Bright, playful pops of colour and a real fresh, modern & contemporary feel. Love it!

Let's look at each layout separately.....

"You Smile With Your Heart"

So pretty!!! Girly and feminine without being too cutesy now (she's growing up!) LOL!

I've used Versa Ink in (the very hot) Opera Pink to really make my title pop.

NOTE: I use this brand of ink a lot as it gives real depth of colour - even if I don't apply a coat of gesso to my chipboard before applying.

I love how this colour, and chippie phrase, dictate the tone and feel of the page!

Here's a closer look at that stunning phrase...

So exquisitely cut!

And how about those super cute hearts.....

Perfect for an embellishment cluster, or as an alternative sequin/enamel dot scatter!

The lower heart has been inked with Petal Pink to balance out all the hot pink and add a little interest. Very sweet, indeed!

A pretty embellishment for any gorgeously girly creation!

Enough of the girl talk - let's take a look at my boy version of this layout.....

"Wild At Heart"

Could he get any cooler?!! Such a rad little guy!

This time I've used Versa Ink: Sea Foam for my title, subtitle and most of the stars. The remaining stars are inked in Saffron Yellow. I love the solid, matte finish the ink provides!

Let's take a closer look.....

How awesome is my subtitle, "Happy"?! Perfect for my subject & I must mention my layered star!

I love the look of layering your chipboard and ephemera together. I've mounted mine too, to really stand out and draw you into my photo.

In the image below, I've mounted a smaller star onto a larger one to create a cool embellishment.....

But it's my title that is totally awesome....

Wild At Heart - he sure is!

Seriously though, another awesome phrase that's cut to perfection!

Love it!

My last layout for today is another gorgeously bright and happy page created with the new

Pink Paislee: Paige Evans: Take Me Away collection,

"Little Things Big Memories"

Love this! It just screams fun!!!

And truly, sometimes the littlest moments leave the biggest imprints on us - this phrase sums it up to a tea!

I've drawn on the very bright & colourful patterned paper to inspire my chipboard treatment.

Bold, fun and happy!!!

Let's take a closer look.....

I love the use of multiple fonts in this phrase - it makes it really versatile to use!

(& yes, it's hot Opera Pink again!)

The hearts are just the cutest little finishing touch embellishment...

SO sweet!!!

How cute is the heart decorated with a lil button?! Love!!!

You Make Me Smile

Hi Imaginarium Designs Friends!

Amanda here, and I can't believe that half the year is almost passed?!! Crazy how quick the time flies when you're having fun!

It's officially Winter here in Australia, and despite the cold, wet & dark days, I am feeling the sunshine in my first layout today. Here it is....

"You Make Me Smile"

Isn't she gorgeous?!! Growing up far too quickly! Such pretty girl deserves a pretty page...

I've combined Pink Paislee's Fancy Free collection, & Studio Fourteen40's flair with our favourite chipboard to create this stunning layout. I love the warmth that the yellow painterly background creates. As the yellow is such an enormous POP of colour, I've treated all chipboard to a white finish to maintain a lil delicacy and femininity to the page.

Let's take a closer look.....

To get such a solid white finish, I gave the chipboard 3 coats of Versa Ink in White.

How amazing is that title?!

No surprise when I tell you that this NEW release chippie title is from our very talented Natalie May - SO cool!!!

You'll also spy that I've use a generous sprinkling of superfine Glitter Snow to the texture paste. This is so that the flat white matte finish on the chipboard is more striking. It becomes more visible...

Those gorgeous flourishes are also from our Designer collection too!

You can find them here:

My second layout that I am sharing with you today is all about my super cool boy,

"Never Grow UP"

I know, can he get any cuter?!!! Such an awesome lil guy that we totally adore!

I've used another fabulous NEW release chippie title, Never Grow UP. This new title is perfect for scrapbooking those beautiful little people in your lives.

As my page is all about my awesome boy, I've used the Cocoa Vanilla Studio: Made of Awesome collection. That sunburst pattern paper is partnered with our Arrows - to really draw your eye into my special photograph.

Let's take a closer look at those stunning chippies....

How cool is that title?!! Iv'e used black and gold inks to make it pop, and stapled it in place to add to the fun feel. Also the silver staples and sequins help to balance all that gold too....

Aren't the arrows just awesome?! I coated mine in coloured inks (red, yellow, green & blue) & then I gave them a semi coat in gold ink ensuring some of the colour was still visible. Very cool!

Here's a couple closer views...
