What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hello to all our Imaginarium fans, Leonie Neal-Dawson with you today.  I'm sharing 3 pages today all featuring lots of different types of chipboard pieces and various colourful ways in which to enhance them.

What Makes You Different..

My first scrapbook page today features the lovely title phrase ''What Makes You Different Makes You Beautiful'.  This is such a lovely sentiment and I've used it on a page about one of my sons.  We are each so different in our looks and personaltiy and this is what makes each of us unique and beautiful. I painted the title in various shades to match the patterned papers from Kaisercraft that I used on my scrapbook page.  Once I'd added colour to the title I added some white paint to help bring the colours together. 


 


I added one of these large arrows to my page and painted it white.  Because the arrow was quite large I was able to add a stitched border with a gel pen as well as some basic journalling.


I also embellished my page with this heart, painting each section in the same colours as the title and tying it together again with white paint.










You Make Me Happy
Next up is a page about my partner.  I've used some Kaisercraft papers on these with dreamcatchers on them.  Following the feathery them I decided to add an Imaginarium Designs Chipboard 'Skeletal Feather' to my page.



On the chipboard feather I used 'Stampendous' aged teal embossing powder.  I love the finished effect of this embossing powder, just a hint of blue which brings out the blue in the photo.  I used the same embossing powder for the 'Happy' word in the title. 


The 'You Make Me' title I created a two toned effect to match the feathers in the patterned paper.  I used a brown and a white paint dauber to colour these chipboard words.  





Just Kidding!
Lastly today, I'm sharing a scraplifted page.  Yep I scrap lifted myself!  Did you see THIS page I posted on the Imaginarium blog last month?  I've been playing around with painterly backgrounds for the past couple of months using Dylusions Paints and well, when you like how something turns out I have no problem at all sticking with a good thing.  Last month I created this page using the interlocking squares and this month I've created a similar page using the bubbles chipboard.

I know the photo's I've used are imperfect, blurry selfies!  But, I printed them small and when placed in and under the chipboard bubbles the imperfections in the photo's don't seem to be as noticeable.


I used some fun Imaginarium Chipboard script words that fit in with the theme of the photo's 'blah blah' 'Just kidding' and 'Oops'.  I inked these words with black ink.

Good As Gold and A Wedding Anniversary!


Hello and welcome to the Imaginarium Designs Chipboard blog.
Leonie here today sharing my chipboard creations for February.   This month I decided to go with a bit of a gold theme, all the chipboard I've used has been coloured gold in various ways.   Gold still seems to be very popular which is fine by me because I love the way it looks on my scrapbook pages. 

This first page features my parents in their younger days out on a date, with it almost being Valentines day I thought it an appropriate photo to scrap.  Plus, today is the 10th of February - their wedding anniversary- married 54years, what an awesome achievement.  
Congragulations and love Mum and Dad!!  xx

I've added lots of Imaginarium Chipboards and teamed it up with the Hello Love paper collection from crate paper.


I used gold Stampendous embossing powder to emboss the chipboard frame and large heart on this page.   The script words I painted gold and then added gold glitter.  I just love how the gold chipboard all stands out against the pink, red and turquoise of the patterened papers.





All the chipboard I used on this page are linked below to the Seriously Scrapbooking shop.  Home of Imaginarium Designs Chipboard.












My Second page today, as I mentioned has gold chipboard pieces as well. 
I painted all the chipboard on this page with gold acrylic paint.

Oh Yeah Baby by Leonie Neal-Dawson

Hello and welcome to my August Inspiration post.  Leonie Neal-Dawson here and I have two pages 
to share with you using great new designs along with some old favourites.

My first page is a simple but colourful page. 



The crosses I've used on this page are one of Imaginariums new designs.  Aren't they super?!  I replicated the crosses theme by using a Kaisercraft stencil with crosses, on my background.




Imaginarium Designs script words are one of my favourites and I've used some of our new words here with 
the "Baby" from our 'Baby Boy Train Set'







My second page is fun page documenting some everyday moments.




The Alphabet letters have been embossed with Stampendous embossing powder 'Aged Silver'.




The nested hexagons and arrows were roughly coated with texture paste and pink paint.
I then doodled on them with a metallic pen.
