Creative fun scrapbooking this Month!!


Hello and Welcome to our monthly scrapbooking blog hop!!  


This is an amazing international group of awesomeness!!  


This month, the theme was designed by the amazing Delys Cram.


At first, I was a bit daunted by this theme, but I spotted my fun masks and I was away happily creating!  


I used Old Olive for the checkerboard background and then Soft Succulent for the flowers in 2 corners - a blending brush and the masks - easy peasy!  Then, I stamped some splodges, flowers, words and some Love from the Quiet Meadow stamp set (totally LOVE this set for background stamping!). I used Soft Sea Foam and Mossy Meadow for this stamping.  


And Lastly I stamped the gorgeous fonted Merry Chirstmas from the Brightest Glow stamp set randomly in the bottom corner.


And then, all I had to do was add my photos!!  They are layered onto some Old Olive cardstock.  
I do love doing a monochromatic project!!  AND I do LOVE green too!!


My journaling panels were die cut using the Labels Aglow dies and these were adhered with some fun Soft Succulent ribbon underneath. 


Lastly I added some gorgeous InColour rounds for sparkle.


So, in the end, my page was a breeze - the background stamping and masks did ALL the heavy lifting - there is not really much else added to the page!  I hope you're inspired to try this too!  

UP next is the amazing  Jill

Here's the list of everybody in case you get lost along the way!

  2. Julia this is incredible creative background using a colour I am not a HUGE fan of.
    BUT it looks Absolutely Fabulous matching your Christmas day theme. So many things about this background make my heart happy...You used a few stamps, lots of ink and masks. I don't see any DSP on your layout which I know that you love to use like me... I am going to CASE your layout, I hope that is OK... Thank you for joining us again this month with your take on creative backgrounds. Cheers Shaz
