Scrap Fx blog post May #1

-

 Hello everyone, 

and welcome to my first blog post in the month of May for the company Scrap Fx Australia.

I have for you as inspiration one scrapbook layout and two art journal pages.

So let`s start with my scrapbook layout.

Every step of the journey is the journey.


A closer look to my page:



I started my layout on a paper sheet from 13arts called: Travel the world,

which I covered with clear gesso first.

After that I decided to make a white-wash on the paper background with white gesso

and a little bit water.

My next step was stamping and stencil work with Archival Ink and Scrap Fx stamps and stencil.

After that I did my paper layering behind the photo. I also decided this time to create

a scrapbook layout without 3D effect. That means no art-stones glitter and pearls.

Only transparency and chipboard from ScrapFx as my decoration.

My next inspirations are two art journal pages.

Circus de ScrapFx is my first one.


A closer look to my page:

I`ve been always looking to create something different with products.
This is what I love,  to challenge myself.
Here on this art journal page I used the gears collage paper
from ScrapFx to create something playful.
I had this art dolls from Mischief Circus in my stash
and voila an idea was born...just like that!!



My second art journal page is a little bit different in color combination and theme.

 Good morning everyone, how are you today? The last few days, we had wonderful sunny days here in The Netherlands. Perfect for a summer scrapbook layout in mixed media style, right? I played along with Tim Holtz snapshot photos, a couple on a beach. The yellow color on my page stands for the sun and the blue watercolor for the sea. Don`t we all want to live our lives as we please? Since I no longer have obligations as a designer in design teams. I am free for my other hobbies, so as gardening, reading and fitness. I am busy converting my garden entirely to a permakultur garden following the method of Ruth Stout. After three years of a warm and dry summers I can see and feel the climat change in our garden. After that, I would also like to grow more of our own vegetables,  new plant beds had to be created. What a beautiful way to spent the time outside. But anyway there is also the new book of the "Seven Sisters" waiting of me to read it. LIVE YOUR LIFE... I created this layou...

Hello everyone, today I have for you a layout which I have created for the current challenge at 13arts. They have a beautiful mood board with rich colors. Here is the mood board for you: Here is the link to 13arts :  13arts A few months ago I started with a new scrapbook layout series: "women around the world.This challenge mood board got me back to create a new layout. Thank you Anguree for your inspiration and for the mood board. At the beginning of my new series, I still glued young women faces on my layouts, but I quickly came to the conclusion that it looks good but not good enough for me. I wanted to tell stories  and stories are not on model faces but only on older ladies. There is nothing more beautiful than a happy old face. I`ve always thought that getting older has something positive. Since I crossed the 50 years mark, I feel relax and positive too!! Now my life is filled with happiness, love and respect for each other. I also know t...
