Hi everyone. Glad you could drop by.
Today I'm sharing my last layout for the month of July. Can you believe it's almost August already? Before you know it, Summer will be over (or Winter for all of you down under) and it will be Christmas! I swear, the older I get, the faster time flies.
Anyway, today's layout is very feminine. Seems that's my jam. I've tried to create masculine layouts, but I have to, and I mean HAVE to use flowers on my layouts. It just doesn't work for me when I try flowers on a masculine layout. Some people can make it rock, I'm not one of them! So I'll just stick with what I can do... feminine layouts.
today
2Crafty Chipboard pieces used:
Bubble Clumps
Squiggly Circle Arrow Journaling Spots
today - Loopy Font
As always, I prime my chipboard with Gesso. A good habit to get into I think.
I love these little Bubble Clumps. I think they add just the right amount of whimsy. I've added a small piece under the flowers at the top right. I painted with the 'Disco' color from the Prima Shimmering Lights Water Color Set.
Here at the bottom of the photo on the left is one of the bigger Bubble Clump pieces. This was painted the same way as the one up on the right. I chose this color to play off the color of the flowers, and also the color of her shirt. I try to use at least one of the colors in the photo to match the embellishments with. I think it flows better.
These Squiggle Circle Arrow Journaling Spots are fabulous!! I have used them a few times before because I love them! They are so unique and add soooo much interest. I have also added a clock behind them before as well. Why? Because it works. These little squiggles were made to house a clock. This was also painted with 'Disco' from the Prima Shimmering Lights Watercolor Set.
I kept the title simple, just using one word. I painted today with White Acrylic Paint. Just a very light coat of paint so as to not be too stark of a white. I wanted it to be 'not solid white' just like the frames around the photos. Make sense?
Well, that's it for me today. I hope I've inspired you to create feminine layouts if you don't already. If you are a masculine layout scrapper, I envy you! Maybe you could give me some pointers!
Until next time
xx
