#Right Now | Katty Miranda

Hello Crafty friends! Katty here to share a scrapbooking layout with you all. I had this photo of my cousins baby from a few years back. He was the cutest baby. I decided to create a monochromatic layout using shades of blue.

I began with white cardstock and a stencil with a small square pattern. I angled the stencil to create two triangles on either side of the page. I used one of my favorite of the Paste-eez, Puttin on the Glitz. My though was that the Paste-eez would create a resist effect when I add color on top.

Once dry I used some of my favorite shades of blues and aquas. I used a Spritz in the color Saphire and three Coloringz in the colors Well Blue me Down, Heidi Ho Blue and Mamma Sings the Blues.

I used a paint brush to add the colors, blending them together over the stenciled triangles. I also added some splatters using Mama Sings the Blues.

I placed my photo in the center and added a few layers of patterned paper behind it. I added my tittle and used a few embellishments, all in shades of blue to keep with the monochromatic look.

I love how it turned out! 

Supplies Used:

Paste-eez: Puttin on the Glitz

Spritz: Sapphire

Coloringz: Well Blue me Down, Heidi Ho Blue, Mamma Sings the Blues

Thanks so much for stopping by!

I am the luckiest MAMA in the world.

Hello hello.
It's Naomi here and today I'd like to share an LO with a picture which I took on Mother's day last month.
As most of us (mothers) are the photographers (and the chefs and the cleaners, ect..) in everyday life, we don't get to be in pictures as often as we SHOULD.
I am glad I made an effort to take some shots of the children and myself on Mother's day with a self timer. (how clever are you, Self timer!!)
It's not a perfect one but "I"am in it with the kids and that's what counts, right?

Here is the LO.

For the background, I firstly applied gesso all over the patterned paper very lightly so that the pattern is still visible not completely hidden.
For the texture, I glued some strips of old dressmaking paper
Then I applied the products below to create interesting new pattern along with the original pattern underneath.

• VIBEZ Fiery Fiesta
• VIBEZ Rusty Bottom
• COLORINGZ No Yoking
•  VIBEZ Sea Monkey
• SHIMMERZ Coffee

For the canvas butterfly, I painted it with

• SPRITZ Sea Form
• SHIMMERZ Coffee
• VIBEZ Hermit the Frog
• COLORINGZ Heidi-Ho-Blue
• VIBEZ Sea Monkey
• COLORINGZ Mama sings the Blue

and for the finishing shinny touch, I applied

• ENAMELZ Sparklicious

I have to say I LOVE how the butterfly turned out using shimmerz.

Thank you for stopping by.
I hope you are all having a lovely weekend!

Cool Background! ( I think anyway!)

Hi, everyone.
It's Naomi Here. Today I'd like to show you how you can make your own cool patterned paper with shimmerz products.

It's very easy and simple.
All you need is some kitchen paper and some sort of stencil.
I sprayed some shimmerz onto a kitchen paper (as below)

I repeated the same with different colours.
There you have them.

Then I torn them into small (ish) pieces then stuck them onto a paper (anyway you like)
And here is the finished "your own cool patterned paper".

love these bright colours together.

Products used:

Coloringz Lime in da coconut
Coloringz Mon Shan
Coloringz Mama sings the blues
Spritz Bed of roses
Vibez Rolling in the hay


Here is the finished LO.

It was so much fun.
I hope you like the "cool background", too.

Thank you for popping by.
