Create | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

While we are eagerly awaiting the new release this Friday, 

I am digging into my stash and have created 

this layout using the 'Creative Chaos' range.

I have created my background by scraping some Flutter Colour paint 

onto a piece of Kaisercraft pattern paper with a palette knife.

 I fussy cut the 'create' word from an Everyday Etc card.

I also fussy cut the scissors for another embellishment.

I used some Everyday Etc cards to back a cut file from Cut To You.

I also layered some Everyday Etc cards under my photo.

I added a flair, a page tab and some enamel dots.

I also added a star from Charm's Creations.

Don't forget to set your alarms for the new release 'RAD RETRO'

this Friday (22nd November) at 8pm AEDST.

Thanks for looking

L.O.V.E | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel with you today on the blog 

with my latest layout to share with you.

To create my background I cut some rainbow-striped 

Everyday Etc filler cards into individual colours.

I then matched these colours with some Gelatos to create the rainbow background.

I cut the word 'LOVE' from an Everyday Etc card from the 'Parent Of The Year' collection.

 

I matted my photo with a white Everyday Etc filler card 

and added a white fussy cut to tone down the rainbow background.

 

I only added a few embellishments, to keep the rainbow background 

as the main design element of my page.

I added a flair button, a sticker, some washi, 

a page tab, enamel dots and some thread.

It wouldn't be a Rachel layout without adding some black ink splatters!!

Parenthood: The Scariest Hood | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today, with another share 

using the 'Parent of the Year' collection.

I really love the 12x12 papers in this collection, 

and for this layout I decided to use 2 of the papers!

I ripped some strips of the 'Love You Long Time' paper 

then adhered them to the 'Warm Hug' paper.

I added some stitching to the strips, and left on all the threads, 

representing the crazy world of parenthood, am I right!?!?

I added some Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo.

I added some Colour Blast colour paste through a splatter stencil.

I cut out some words from an Everyday Etc card for my title.

I added a flair button, a page tab, a sticker and the 'parenthood' acrylic title.

I also added a star from Charm's Creations.

You Rock | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you, and I have a stash-busting layout to share with you today.

I have used bits and pieces from a few different collections, 

but the beauty of Anita's design style means all the collections work so well together.

To create my background I applied some Flutter Colour paint in 

Orange Goldfish onto white cardstock with a dry brush.

I then applied some Colour Blast Colour Paste through a Mmm Pie stencil.

I layered some Everyday Etc cards under my photos.

I have used cards from the 'Good Vibes Only', 

'We Are' and 'Magical AF' collections.

I have used the 'You Rock' pieces from the Magical AF Die Cut Bits & Bobs pack as my title.

I have added some page tabs, sticky snippets, a flair, enamel dots 

and some Die Cut Bits and Bobs to embellish my page.

I also added a heart from Charm's Creations.

I finished off my page with some black ink splatters.

Family Together | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone! Rachel back with you today with another layout to share.

I'm using the We Are collection to create my bright and fun page.

I created a background using some Flutter Colour Paint 

in Tropicana Teal and Arctic White.

I added some bright We Are Everyday Etc filler cards under my photos. 

I added some foam between a few of the layers to add some 

dimension and lift the bright colours up off the black background.

I fussy cut the word 'family' from a We Are Everyday Etc card. 

I added some cardboard under my title word to create another layer.

I added some stickers, page tabs, a flair button, and some bright enamel dots.

I added some embellishments from Charm's Creations
and some white thread.

I am stash-busting with the 'Super Cool' collection for my layout today.

I layered some Super Cool Everyday Etc cards under my photo.

a flair button and the only orange enamel dot I had left!!

 I used a full-size Everyday Etc card as my page title. 

I picked out the orange from the flair button to add 

an orange page tab and some orange splatters around the page.

Sweet Amazing You | Tamara Buckler

Hey Hey Scrappy Peeps,

I'm up on the blog today for my first share for July. I pulled this layout together using some 12x12 paper from the 'We Are' paper pack. I wanted to play with the reds and oranges in the paper as these colours worked with some Autumn photos of my daughter.

I started by tearing the paper down to be approximately 9x12, and then applied some gesso behind my focus area. I added some texture paste through the 'All you need is love' Stencil, and once this was dry I used the packaging technique to add some watered down FlutterColour paint. I then used a Sharpie highlight some of the text in the modelling paste, and added some paint and ink splatters around the place.

I used a CUTtoYOU Cut File to frame my photos, and added a Everyday Etc Card from the 'Happy Together' set to the centre frame. I popped this all up on foam tape, and adhered it over the top of the mixed media.

To create my title, I have coloured some Die Cuts with a black Posca Pen, so that they fitted with my colour scheme, and added some white sticky alphas.

To finish off my page, I have added a page tab, a bright tab and a word label from the photo cut outs. I also added some white chalk pen splatters over the top of the page as a final touch.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Big Loves,
Tam xo

TGIF!

I honestly feel like I'm on the Groundhog Day Rollercoaster at the moment and wishing I could just hop off for a while, but least it's Friday :)

Today's layout comes from that place of crazy and really expresses my frustration with this but I also added an important reminder for myself 'Your only limit is You'.

On my black carboard background I've used my brayer to roll out some Flutter Colour Paint - Fire Engine Red, Orange Gold fish and Tangerine Orange. Using the  Confetti Cubes Stencil and some Artic White paint I've stencilled this over the paint left to right. With my paints I've used earlier I swirl some designs over the top. And also splatter these colours over the background with a paintbrush.

The photo is matted with a cut out frame from one of the 12 x 12 papers from the Magical AF collection. And the title and other cut out shapes are from the Everyday Etc Cards. A Page Tab has been added to the left of the photo, plus some sticky quotes. on the photo and to the bottom right.

To finish off I used up a couple of my Neon Dots and used my trusty paint pen to draw around some fo the detail.

Thanks for taking a peek into my hectic life.

Till next post,

This Is Home | Rachel Dutko

Hi everyone!

Rachel back with you today with another layout to share.

To create the mixed media background for my page I started by adding 

some strips of the "Waves Of Wonder" 12x12 paper 

to some white cardstock with some gel medium.

I used a black pen to add detail to the circular lines of the paper.

I then added some flicks of Colour Blast Colour Artist Ink, 

and sponged on some Flutter Colour Paint in Orange Goldfish.

The next step was to add some stamping of dark blue acrylic paint 

with a "Round Random" Art Foamie stamp.

With the background done, I painted some 'days of the week' wood veneers with black gesso.

I then added some "We Are" Everyday Etc filler cards under my photo.

I fussy cut the house and the word 'home' from some "We Are" Everyday Etc cards. 

I cut the 'this is' from a "Happily Ever After" Everyday Etc card.

I've also added an arrow from Charm's Creations, a page tab and a Snippet Strip.
