Someone Special

Hi  there Creatives,

I'm back again on the Little birdie Blog with another layout. I love creating layouts and this photograph of a friend's daughter is so cute, it just begged to be scrapbooked!




I fussy cut some elements from the Aqua Medley paper pack. I love the roses and butterflies.



Golden Plum Tinted Metallic Paint is one of my favourite Little Birdie products, I used that to paint the Chipboard frame.


For the background I used white card-stock and patterned paper from the Amor Mio collection. I tore a strip and adhered it to the white card-stock. 

I stencilled a few leaves randomly with Mulberry Glaze Sparkle Paste and splattered with Colour Splash and Golden Plum Tinted Metallic Paint.

I then adhered a piece of Cheesecloth and placed the frame over it, but a little off centre. The fussy cut flowers and some die cut leaves were tucked in behind the frame.


Next I added the photo, I first raised it on a small piece of cardboard. Then I  added flowers and buttons to create more interest.

Here are more close up pictures:






I hope you found some inspiration here!

Happy creating until next time!

"You & Me"

Hi there dear Creatives!

I'm honoured to be back again on the Little Birdie Design Team for 2019, and very excited to be working with these super talented designers.

Thank you for all your support and comments, I really appreciate it.

I LOVE creating scrapbook pages and decided on a single page, mixed media layout for my first project. I wanted to use as much of the awesome Little Birdie products as possible!


To create the background of the layout I used the   Amor Mio paper collection. I cut the pattern paper with the flowers in half and fussy cut the flowers on the piece that I didn't use. I stencilled with LB Mixed Media Paste and the Script Design stencil randomly across the page after I adhered the piece with the flowers on the "leaves" patterned paper.


To add more texture and interest, I sprayed Mocha Color Splash and stencil with the Silver Sage Sparkle paste and the spotty stencil. I also splattered with the Mocha Color Splash and diluted Tinted Metallic paint: Golden Plum.


I absolutely adore the delicate Grass Primed Chipboard! I just had to used it on this layout! To colour it I used the Metallic Wax Amber Gold.


To complete the layout, I matt my photograph on a piece of the packaging, the colour matched perfectly. I layered a piece of LB Cheesecloth behind the photographs and adhered it to the background. I embellished with flowers: Fairy Garden Amor Mio and Cornelia Grey, and some lace flowers. The sentiment is from  "Expressions: Made for each other". 

Here are a few close up photos:
