Don't forget to add some sparkle to our project!

Amazing moodboards's colors inspired me to the dreams on space or sea ...

I choosed the marine theme and created layout with baby pic of my husband)

He's so little, sits in a big boat and dreams to be a captain...)

For background I used paints, sprays and texture paste

This peaces of papers under the photo are of  7 Dots Studio Verano Azul collection

 This is our moodboard!

Vintage lace and feathers added tenderness to the composition...

The dry flowers for this composition I collected on the lake coast,

almost at the same place where picture made.

The film and rusty metal heart take the viewer to the past time...

in the days of happy childhood ...

Ranger Embossing Tinsel and Perfect Pearls used to make sparkles.

Sealed with a Kiss by Cathi O'Neill

Hello fellow scrappers, Cathi here to share my layout for the Get Your Sparkle On January Berry71bleu challenge! We were challenged to use the moodboard and to add some sparkle to our project! I have used the gorgeous 7 Dots Studio Verano Azul collection for my project.

Check out the gorgeous moodboard!

There are lots of great journaling cards in the Verano Azul collection and I have layered up many of them here. I have also added some tags from the 7 Dots Lost and Found collection.

I've also added some great chipboard pieces from Blue Fern Studios here, the Arrow Words and the Winter Page Dangles.

I used some of my glitter paste and a mask to make my glittery background, adding lots of gorgeous flowers, lace and buttons from my stash.

I finally finished off the layout with some stamping using the 7 Dots Cold Country collection script stamp.  I had a lot of fun layering up and embellishing my layout this month.

Thank you and we hope to see your beautiful creations this month!

Come Sail Away By Virág Réti

When I saw the January Moodboard I felt that it is totally fits to my style. During the Christmas season when I was on a shopping tour I saw a peacock feather on a shelf in a creative store. I have never used feathers on my pages as an embellishment, so this was a real challenge for me, so I decided to buy and apply one. This was where the creative process of my layout begun.

The photo on the layout was taken in Alsace (France) this summer at the garden of the Mont-Saint-Odile Monastery, which was on the top of the hill with a breathtaking view. 

Let's take a look at the moodboard again!

I was inspired by the dark sky with the bright stars and naked trees, the wonderful colours of peacock feathers, the huge flower on the cake and the white pattern as decoration, and last but least the wooden structrure of the background. 

And now some close up where you can see how I visualize all these gorgeous mood crumbs.

The background paper is from 7 Dots Studio Destination Unknown collection. I have used clear stamps to get the wooden texture and the stain on the top and bottom of the page. Thanks to the stencil and acrylic paint mixed with 3D powder I got crackle structure which reminds me of bare trees.

The damask motiv on the left and right side of the layout was created by black embossing powder. I achieved the white decoration with stencil and structure paste. When it dried I felt that it was too violent so I inked the surface with turquise chalk ink to darker a little. 

I found some die cuts and stickers from the same 7 Dots Studio collection which perfectly fits to my layout and the theme of travelling, and "sailing away". The small turquise marbles are not scrapbook stuffs, I bought them as a nail art embellisments, so it is a totally unusal new lifestyle for them. :)

Thank you and we hope to see your beautiful creations this month!

"Get your sparkle on" January 2016 Challenge

It´s time to Celebrate the new year with a real pop of color! 

This month you will learn the style of our new designers but we will start with an oldie - me Marie!

I have created a challenge board that combines great colors with a bit of sparkle and celebration. I hope you will find it inspiring and that we will see your entry this month!

As you can see I have used the paper that form the base of the moodboard for my layout. It is the "Dazzle Me paper from the Verano Azul collection. 

I have stamped on the Chipboard from Scrapiniec with a text stamp from 7 Dots Studio. The cluster was made by using die cuts, tags and stickers from the Verano Azul Collection. 

The cool shimmering dots was made by adding modeling paste mixed with IndigoBlu Glitter through a stencil. Paint splatters are Glimmer Mists from Tattered Angels.
