Better Together// SpiegelMom Scraps DT

Hello ladies! Welcome back to another fun and inspiration blog hop for the Spiegelmom Scraps Shop.  You previously visited my girl and partner in crime, Katty Miranda.  Her and I live close together so we scrap together.  The sequins available at the SpielgelMom Scraps shop are simply gorgeous and I played with three different sets for this colorful layout.  The photo I am scrapping is of my sister and I during her recent visit.  We were in Fort Lauderdale Beach and came across this pillar with our last name on it and thought it was a perfect photo moment.  But our last name is spelled with an "s" and not a "z".  


I used Hugs & Kisses from the Better Together collection from Amy Tangerine for this layout.  I used my Cameo to cut out multiple sized hearts.  The opposite side of the rainbow XOXO is the green paper color.  I outlines one green heart with Spring Greens sequins and used fun foam to pop up the patterned heart.  Then I outlines the patterned heart with the yellow sequin from A Day in the Woods sequins.  



 I then decided to outline the largest heart with Gold Sweetheart Confetti Sequins along the outside and the blue ones from Raspberry Daisy Dream on the inside. Love the look of it with the sequins.

I wanted to add more interest to the background.  I used my Heidi Swapp Stencil in Repeating Hearts and used my Spun Sugar Dazzlers from Shimmerz through the stencil.  


Adding a few paint splatters always finishes off one of my layouts.  I used the thickers from the collection for the title "Better Together".  Hope your enjoying this weekends blog hop.  Your next stop is Felicia Young.  My process video below for you to watch. 


Summer Here We Go// The Crafty Maven DT



Hello Scrappy peeps!! Wilna Furstenburg is always an inspiration for me.  Her work is gorgeous.  This layout I was channeling my inner Wilna.  I am on The Crafty Maven Getaway with Free Flow Wednesday.  I painted the blue background is inexpensive acrylic paints and water to blend.


I have so many floral stencils in my stash and I used it with Heidi Swapp's metallic texture paste in Mint through it.  This paste had to dry for some time before I could continue.



The hibiscus flower die cuts are from the Silhouette Design store and I misted them with Cracked Pistachio from Distress Stains and Fresh Lime from Dylusions on the leaves.  I used Squeezed Orange and Tangerine Dream from Dylusion for the floral portion.  The florals were adhered with hot glue to assure contact to my mixed media background.



My title is from two collections; 'Summer' is from the Simple Stories Sunshine & Happiness collection while the 'Here we go' is from Amy Tangerines Finders Keepers collection.  The white of the letters pops against the bold blue background.  My process video is below for your viewing pleasure.
