Today Mixed Media Page by Denise van Deventer

Hello Everyone

Welcome to the last day of November.  Rather a scary thought!!

Anyways, it's Denise here, to share my November Vintage page and here's a reminder of the gorgeous mood board by Sylwia.

So here's my take.

I used some Teresa Collins papers from my stash and also a really pretty chipboard Creative Embelishments.

I embossed the chipboard with "Weather Worn" Distress Powder and this really gave it a super colour and texture.

I love this quote on that chipboard piece that says "When I look back on my life I want to know that I lived a full and meaningful life".

The photo is actually of an aunt of mine, when she was very young.  This page will be a gift to her at Christmas time. I hope she will like it! ;-)

Now it's time to see your take on this mood board.  Just a day left to squeeze in an entry! ;-)

Picture Perfect by Mandy

Happy Hello Berry71Bleu Friends!

 

 Mandy here and today it's my turn to share my take on this month's beautiful challenge hosted by Sylwia!  I decided not to add a vintage photo but I used the gorgeous vintage style paper "Cozy Christmas" sponsored by Riddersholm Design.  I added hints of the minty aqua color as seen in this month's vintage inspired mood board.....

I added some stamp work using white acrylic paint to accent the delicate swirl details in the paper....

Since this was a winter theme page I wanted to add some shimmery highlights.....I added chucky glitter and very fine glitter.

Below is the beautiful inspirational mood board!

 

 We can't wait to see your projects!

Moments Layout - Guest Designer - Sanderijn de Bruin-Mittendorff

Hello Berry71Bleu Fans

We have a super, duper, amazing Special Guest Designer today, who was the winner from last months challenge, as well, Sanderijn de Bruin-Mittendorff! ;-) A warm welcome Sanderijn!;-)

I am Sanderijn de Bruin-Mittendorff, I live in The Netherlands. I started scrapping in 2007, but when my daughter was born in 2009 I took some sort of sabbatical for 5 years, because I didn't had the time or the place to create a lot. In May this year we cleaned out the attic and made a perfect room for me, so now I am spending a lot of time there! I love that in the 5 years I wasn't creating, lots of products I already wish to use back in 2009, are now in store and for sale. I love sprays, inks, metallic paints, inka gold, pigment powders, mica powders, gesso, stencils and modelling paste. Just recently I bought myself a Big shot, and I am using die cuts for the first time in my layouts. I am always challenging myself to do different projects, different things I normally wouldn't do, to extend my horizon and to develop more techniques. I am not quite sure how to describe my style, but I am a bit perfectionistic and that gets sometimes in my way...

 

You can find me here:
