You are my Sunshine by Samantha Robles

Hi Friendz! So excited to be back with you all, sharing this fun layout using the Shimmerz Fall Color Challenge. My color that was chosen was: Hold the Mustard Paste-eez, mixed with some Mustard Seed Vibez. I love this color's vibrant hue and gold shimmer. It's perfect for all seasons, but here in Idaho, it reminds me of the gorgeous colors on the trees right now.

I've been saving this oh-so-adorable photo of my son for weeks. I finally found the perfect sunny and bright color to go with his cute bright self. I've been saving this cut files by Paige Taylor Evans . I took some Hold the Mustard and a tiny dropper of Mustard Seed and mixed the two together, then spread it over my cut file. What I found that works best for my projects is I do the spraying, painting, pasting right before bed. Then let it sit over night to get 100% dry without checking every 10 minutes. The next morning, I cut the cut file right in half and glued it to my white cardstock.

Soon after, I let my sheet dry and started on this amazingly cute chipboard piece from Scrapaholics titled "You Are My Sunshine". I started with some gesso and did a light coat of acrylic paint from Hobby Lobby to get the dark edges lightened up. After that dried, I then added two coats of Paste-Eez "Puttin' on the Glitz"

This adds that POP of sparkle that shines from my little turkey's personality.

I finally added some small little drops of Sweet Heart Vibez to add the finishing touch, along with these cute tiny heart stickers I've had stashed away for months. I'm Samantha, and I'm a craft supply hoarder, hehe!

Thanks so much for tagging along. Make sure to check out Scrapaholic's amazing selection of chipboard pieces and don't forget to join the color challenge with Shimmerz. 

XOXO

Taming the Terrible Twos Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello everyone! Happy Superbowl Sunday Katty here! I hope you are all having a wonderful day!
I am back today to share another 12x12 layout.

Today I will be working with the new Paste-eez, these are the smooth dimensional pastes with a flat finish that we released last month. They are so fun to play with. I used two colors on this layout, Raspberry Sherbert and Hold the Mustard. I used them through a Prima Stencil. I layered the stenciled Paste-eez and some scallop shaped patterned papers on the bottom half of my layout. 

The top portion was plain white. I wanted to add some color so I used a Coloringz in Oh say can you Sea with the same stencil. I also scattered around a few small flowers that I had cut out with my Silhouette Cameo. I colored them with a Coloringz in Mandarin Mai Tai and a Creameez in Berry Hot. I colored the rest with some gold paint from my stash.

I added block enamel dots to the flowers I scattered around and added a couple of simple embellishments. I created a long tittle mixing a few different fonts in coordinating colors, this is something I love to do.

This was a lot of fun to create. I'm really glad I decided to add the teal. 

There is a process video on my YouTube channel if you'd like to watch.
