Special Guest Designer Caroleanne Wright

Today we are happy to welcome Special Guest Designer Caroleanne Wright!


Hi everyone! I am Caroleanne, and I am so thrilled and excited to be here with you as a Guest Designer for Berry71Bleu. I live in the UK by the seaside with my lovely husband, teenage daughter that I mostly scrap (Jess) and a cute Bishon called Millie.

I am enthusiastic for all things scrapping, I scrap daily, I love photography, card making and baking cakes. I have been crafting and sewing my whole life and when I found scrapping that was it, I was lost in it! I am never happier than when I am immersed in my scrappy world. I have been scrapping for a few years now and have fallen completely in love with it, I am totally addicted and cant stop! I love making layouts, will try all new things and can do mixed media/canvases, tags, cards etc. One of the reasons I love this hobby so much is that it carries our memories with it.

I believe all my layouts and memories will become family heirlooms for the future. I also love the papers, flowers, lace, ribbon and all the other pretty elements I get to play with. My style is quite girly, feminine, shabby, flowery, pretty and I think I am most known for my flowery clusters. I am on the STUCK ON U SKETCHES design team, a sketch team, (I love sketches) and the CHERISH THE MEMORIES FOR LIFE design team, a sketch team in Norway. Please visit my blog http://theprettypaperpatisserie.blogspot.co.uk/.


Here's my take on the February Mixed Media Challenge. I loved this challenge as it’s great fun to get all the paints and mists out and I don’t really do it enough! I loved the tag and chipboard that Marivic sent me, they are just perfect for February. And I loved using these colors, so pretty and pink, very me!

We hope you are inspired to join us this month! There are some amazing prize packages up for grabs!

Old Town by Tusia Lech

Hello fellow scrapers.
Here is Tusia Lech. I wanted to show you my layout with a photo taken in 2012.

Warsaw Old Town was totally destroyed by Germans during Second World War and was rebuilt by Polish people. In 1980 it became a part of Unesco World Heritage List. In Spring, Summer and Autumn we (me, my husband and kids) love to walk there and eat some ice-creams or just look at the Vistula river. We are so happy that we can live in free country. Photos from Warsaw Old Time have a special place in my heart.


I have used - Perfect Pearls Mist (Mandarin and Mint), Chalkboard Glimmer Mist, gesso and Art Anthology spray Waimea Bay. In my layout I incorporated  also Molossi Chipboards and Manor House flowers.


Manor House flowers was sprayed by me, because I needed to make them coordinating with the rest of my layou.


At the top of my photo you can see also a Marivic gorgeous tag.

 As usual there are some amazing prize packages up for grabs! Here are the challenge details:

Special Guest Designer Wiosanka

We're thrilled to have the talented Wiosanka join us as a Special Guest Designer today!




My name is Anna, in the virtual world I use my nick – Wiosanka. I live in Poland, near the Baltic Sea. I’m a wife of a georgeous man and mother of two wonderful boys – PaweÅ‚ (almost 8) and Tomek (almost 6). We spend much time together and we’re a rather sporty family. We ski in winter, swim and go on bike trips in the summer.

What I love most about scrapbooking is making layouts and occasional albums with photos of my boys. I just love to work with pictures.

I can’t live without colorful papers, washi tapes and paint splashes. There is also black ink and structural paste on almost all of my work. I like chipboard very much and I often put them on my projects. And recently, I started to discover the mixed-media world.

I have the great pleasure to design for 7 Dots Studio, Lemoncraft, Scrapiniec, scrapki - wyzwaniowo and Once Upon A... Sketch. If You would see more of my work, please visit my blog: http://smakizycia-wiosanka.blogspot.com.


For this occasion I made the layout about dreams and being a woman.



The girl in the photo is me thinking about my place in the world and about the future of my family.


I used lots of different media to create the background. There are some Lindy's Stamp Gang mists, gesso, gel medium, glass filler and water paints.


I chose 9th Wave papers - a very feminine collection from 7 Dots Studio.


I added some chipboard, flower and flair.


All the details were chosen to fit with the fabulous Marivic's tag. :-)

I’m absolutely thrilled and honored to inspire You here - on the  Berry71Bleu blog today :-)

Time Flies Mixed Media Canvas by Cathi


Hi! Cathi here with my mixed media canvas I have created for Mandy's February Mixed Media challenge!  I had a GREAT time spraying and misting and stamping and using molding paste, gesso, embossing powder...


I sprayed my canvas with Lindy's Stamp Gang Starbust Spray in Tibetan Poppy Teal, my favorite color, and then added in a bit of brown Opal Sea Oats. I used Sepia Archival ink to do my stamping and used the numbers, gears, shattered glass and Time Flies stamps from the set as well as the great clock. You can see the amazing dual red and purple tones on the Razzleberry Plum embossing powder from Lindy's on the Molossi Barbed Wire Ornate Frame Large. I have also colored in the Molossi Dove with gesso and the sprays. I took two cogs from the Cogs #1 set and embossed them in silver and also cut them in half to add to the canvas edge.


I added a purple Manor House Creations Razzles flower cut in half and placed at the edges of the canvas. Above you can see where I used molding paste to do a clock stencil design. I also added some drywall mesh tape to the canvas for more texture and added gesso to that as well. 

It was a lot of fun getting inky and messy for this one and I really hope you like it!!
Check out the details for the challenge here:
