Laugh as Much As You Breathe | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a Scrapbook Layout with you all. I am scrapping a photo of myself from my Senior year in High School. This was taken during my Senior Photo Session. I chose some soft colors to compliment the colors in the photo.

I began with a Black and white Patterned Paper. I used some gesso to prep the page and added a few colors of spray mist. I used all shades of pink, a Coloringz in Pink Stilettos, a Vibez in Pop Art Pink and a Spritz in Cotton Candy. I sprayed them directly onto the page focusing on the bottom right hand corner and around the area where my photo would sit.

I then used my favorite Paste-eez in the color Tree Hugger and used that through a Lattice stencil in two areas, to the left of the photo and on top of the photo. I layered a few patterned papers behind the photo and also used some beautiful fussy cut flowers around the photo.

Lastly, I added my tittle as well as a few other stickers, keeping everything around the photo. I used a Coloringz in Night Moves and also added some Ink Splatters as a finishing touch. 

I love how it turned out. 

Products Used: Coloringz: Pink Stilettos, Night Moves

Spritz: Cotton Candy

Vibez: Pop Art Pink

Paste-Eek: Tree Hugger

Positive Art Journal Spread | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a fun Art Journal Page with you all. I was in the mood to paint so I pulled out my handy dandy Art Journal. I am using my Daler Rowney Mixed Media Travelbook. I love the size of the pages in this journal, not too big, but enough space for me to get creative. I created a fun and colorful spread.

I began with a stencil and one of my favorite paste-eez in the color Tree Hugger which is a gorgeous teal. The stencil I used looks like pomegranate seeds. I love the texture the Paste-eez and stencil immediately add to my page. It looks pretty all by itself but of course I needed to add lots more color to it.

I pulled out some of my awesome Shimmerz paints in several colors, I used a Coloringz in Mandarin Mai Tai and Pink Stilettos and three Creameez in Trippin in the Tropics, Boogie Boardin Blue, and Lettuce get together. I used a watercolor brush and scattered the colors around the page in between the stenciled image. I mixed it up and added the intense colors in some areas and used a little more water to soften the same colors up in other areas. I love the look of this mix.

I used a black sharpie pen and added some faux stitching around parts of the stenciled image to add some additional interest. I love the detail that the faux stitching adds. I also added some positive coordinating word stickers to finish it off.

Supplies Used:

Paste-eez: Tree Hugger

Coloringz: Mandarin Mai Tai, Pink Stilettos

Creameez: Lettuce get Together, Boogie Boardin Blue, Trippin in the Tropics

#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

Hello Summer Art Journal | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a fun Art Journal Page. I wanted to create something summer related. I actually haven't been creating as much as i'd like lately so I wanted to capture the Summer Vibes before Summer is over. LOL. I decided a fun Art Journal Page would be perfect.

I began by ripping up some washi tape into strips and using several sizes going diagonally throughout the page. The washi tape acts like a mask. I then used some of my favorite color mists and sprayed directly over the tape. I used Colorigz in Pink Stilettos, Don't Citron Me, No Yoking and Heido Ho Blue. I also used a Vibez in Sweetheart I was sure to spread the colors around so that I would have them spread out evenly throughout the page. 

 Once I added all of my colors I carefully peeled off the washi tape strips to reveal the diagonal pattern. I used a textured paper towel to blot the paint and that created some fun texture too.

I added some fun Summer themed puffy stickers from Paperhouse Productions in a cluster in the center of the spread. Lastly I used a circle stencil and added a border around the whole spread using the amazing Dazzlerz in Pucker up Pink.

That added the perfect finishing touch. I love how this turned out. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Products Used:

Coloringz: Pink Stilettos, Don't Citron Me, No Yoking, Heidi Ho Blue

Vibez: Sweet Heart

Dazzlerz: Pucker up Pink

I Love Today Scrapbook Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a scrapbook layout with you all. I am scrapbooking  a photo of myself. I recently started my own business and this picture just expresses how I feel in the clothing I'm selling. I decided to create a fun and simple background.

I began with scribbly floral cut file. I placed it on top of a white piece of carsdstock. I used Several Coloringz in Mandarin Mai Tai, Well Blue me Down and Peachy Keen. I also used a Spritz in Saphire, a Vibez in Sweet Heart and a Creameez in Sky's the Limit. For the Creameez, I watered it down and added it to a small spray bottle to get the same mist effect as with the other colors. 

I then used the misted cut file itself on top of the white cardstock. I slightly offset the cut file so that it was not directly over the misted area. I love the look this created. So simple and so fun.

I used a teal stripped transparency as a layer behind my photo. It makes my photo stand our over all of these gorgeous colors. 

I used black foam thickers for my tittle. I also scattered around some foam hearts and stars. I chose not to embellish any further, The fun bright colors were enough embellishment for me.

Products Used:

Coloringz: Peachy Keen, Well Blue me Down, Mandarin Mai Tai

Spritz: Saphire

Vibzs: Sweetheart

Creameez: Sky's the Limit

Eat Cake Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share another 12x12 scrapbook layout. I am scrapbooking a photo my mom's birthday. She is posing with my two boys, nice and nephew. We must have taken 75 of the same picture and in every photo someone was looking away or making a crazy face, lol. This is one of the few where everyone looks decent.

I began with white cardstock. I added gesso to the back. I used Coloringz in Pink Stilettos and No Yoking in the background. I sprayed directly on and I used the packaging technique as well. 

Once dry, I used a Prima floral stencil and the Paste-eez dimensional paste in Raspberry Sherbet. I also added some splatters with the mists. 

I placed my photo in the center and used chipboard birthday themed embellishments from a Dear Lizzy chipboard pack. I even created a cluster of balloons. 

I wanted to add some of the mint color from the chipboard so I added another Coloringz in Oh Say Can You Sea using the packaging technique. I also added a border of yellow patterned paper around the whole page. I love how it turned out. 

Products Used:

Coloringz: Pink Stilettos, No Yoking, Oh Say Can You See

Paste-eez: Raspberry Sherbert

Rainbow Art Journal Page | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here. Today I am sharing an art journal page. I wanted to create a fun rainbow using some of my favorite colors and Shimmerz Paints. I am working in my Daler Rowney Mixed Media Travel Book. I love the size of this book. 

I began by painting my rainbow. I painted simple strokes. I used a variety of Shimmerz products to create the color strokes. I used Creameez in Berry Hot, My Clementine and Refresh Mint. I used Inklingz in Precious Posey and an original Shimmerz Paint in the color Sunny. I also used a Spritz in Saphire. Some of the colors were used twice. 

Once that was dry I used some of the amazing Shimmerz Paints Texture Pasted through a chain stencil. I used Past-Eez in the colors Don't be a Pansy, Baby Boy Blue, Hold the Mustard and Raspberry Sherbert. I also used Dazzlerz in Dreamscicle and Sea U in the Mornin'. 

I love the way it turned out. To add some extra fun and texture I used twine in coordinating colors where the two colors met. I also added two different types of butterflies that I punched out of white cardstock. I love the extra detail that the butterflies added. 

Products used: 

Creameez: Berry Hot, My Clementine, Refresh Mint

Inklingz: Precious Posey

Shimmerz Paint: Sunny

Today Scrapbook Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share another 12x12 layout with you all. I am scrapping a sequence of photos of my niece and my mom. My niece gives the best hugs. She is the sweetest.

I began with a floral embroidery stencil and my Shimmerz Dazzlerz in the color Spun Sugar. I used it on white cardstock. I used Spun Sugar to create a neutral base. 

To add color to the flowers, I used several colors. I used a combination of an Inklingz in the color Bahama Mama and a Creameez in the color Refresh Mint for some of the flowers and a combination of two Creameez in  Berry Hot and Sky's the Limit for the other flowers. I then fussy cut the flowers.

I pulled out a mint green paper from my stash. I arranged my three photos in the center of the layout and added a simple layer of tracing paper behind all three photos. I then raised them up on foam. I then clustered the flowers underneath the pictures and added some leaves I had previously cut out on my Silhouette Cameo.

I used a Teresa Collins diagonal stripe stencil with the Dazzlerz in Spun Sugar and used the same four colors to color in between the stripes. I cut out strips and added two in the top right and two on the bottom left of the layout. In between the strips of color I added white drops using Nuvo Drops. I also added Nuvo Drops to the flowers for some extra detail. 

I used a Heidi Swapp acetate word in a coordinating coral color as my tittle and a few random embellishments from my stash. At first I wasn't sure about combining all of these colors but  in the end I really like how it turned out.

Just Us Layout | Katty Miranda

Hello friends! Katty here to share a 12x12 layout with you all. I am scrapping an older photo of me and my adorable neice. She was about 8 months old here. She was the cutest baby, well she still is the cutest. I printed my photo in black and white so that I could create some fun colorful florals which is something I love to do.

I began with two stencils by The Crafters Workshop. One has leaves and the other has flowers. I used my Dazzlerz Texture paste through the stencils. For the leaves I used two colors, the Sea U in the mornin and Sour Apple. For the flowers, I used Pucker up Pink, Coral me Crazy and Dreamscicle. Once they were dry, I used  my fussy cutting scissors and cut the images out.

I wanted to create some larger flowers so I used the new Acritonez and a very complicated and advanced technique, lol, just kidding, I drew the flowers with the tip of my fingers. I used the acritonez in Pinkadelic and Orange U Glad, I mixed in some if the white Acritonez, called 3 sheets to the wind and blended it with the paint, then I used the same white with a small brush and painted a few white details on the flowers.

I arranged the flowers on a white Cardstock and added my photo in the center. I used a piece of patterned paper to mat my photo and added some dimensional foam behind it. I added a simple tittle which I placed on velum and cut it out.

I added some splatters using a Vibez in Pop Art Pink and a Coloringz in Pink Stilettos. 

To finish it off I used a scallop doily border punch and punched out the top and the bottom of the white cardstock. I added a matching green cardstock behind as a mat. In the end the layout turned out super simple and I love this mix of colors.
