Red Hot Chili Peppers

Hi guys!  I've been so busy at work lately but I'm finely etching out some time to blog.  Here's my latest scrapbook layout.  It's of me and my brother pretending to be chili peppers outside of our local Chili's Restaurant.  I used DCWV Vintage Collector for this layout.  The background paper is a dark pink with a tone on tone map design. 

 I cut out some hexagon shapes from a piece of paper in the collection and then glued them in a kind of honeycomb shape of the left side of the layout. Then, I smeared some Gesso over the background to tone down the color a bit.  Then I took a background stamp and used it with my Heidi Swapp mustard archival ink and stamped it randomly all over the page.

On the top and bottom corners of the left side of the layout I sprayed Heidi Swapp Muster and Primrose Color Shine mists.  On top of the I used a new toy I got at the craft store.  It's Liquitex Glass Beads and I applied it with a Heidi Swapp stencil.

Most of these embellishments next to the pictures are a combination of things from my stash.  Some from Dear Lizzy, Amy Tangerine and DCWV

I dyed the lace around the top and bottom of the picture with my Tim Holtz Alcohol Inks.  I felt like it didn't stand out in it's original cream color.  Then I added a few ink drops from my Heidi Swapp mists around the page.  The title is made from SN@P! and Thicker letters

My Purrfect Storm

Hi guys!  I'm here to share a scrapbook layout.  I haven't done these in a while but the other night I was on a roll.  This layout is a picture of my kitty Stormy when she was just a baby, many years ago.  The paper pad I used was DCWV Sunday Afternoon.  I love that stack.  It has so many whimsical images. The background paper that I started off with was a pink grid paper which I added some smeared Gesso to.  Then I misted it a bit with some Heidi Swapp Teal Color Shine.

Next I added some modeling paste with a polka dot stencil.  On top of that I sprayed some Mister Huey's blue ink.  The clouds were cut out from a page in the stack.  I also used them in my Randi's Crafts Name Canvas. They are so cute.  They have some fake washi tape on them which is already on the paper but I added additional washi tape for more interest.

The embellishment cluster was started with some cheese cloth coming out of the right side of the layered papers under the picture.  I stuck a "wonderful" tab under the right side of the picture which was cut out from the paper pad.  The corner was finished off with some flowers from my stash as well as a kite cutout.  

My title is made from SN@P! and Thicker letters.  In the background you can see the Prima stamp I used with Tim Holtz Distress Ink as well as a few additional ink splatters

Thanks so much for stopping by! xoxo Randi

You Are Just My Type

I really like this card.  It's cute and was really simple to make.  On the white base card I took a Heidi Swapp stencil and misted some purple ink on it.  Then I laid down four different strips of washi tape.  The typewriter and hearts are cut out from the DCWV Sunday Afternoon Stack.

If you have any questions or comments I would love to hear them xoxo Randi
