"All You Need Is Love" by Charmane Koch

 Hello & Happy Tuesday to you all!

Well, I have just got back Sunday night from a lovely Bee Arty Retreat! And it was definitely what I needed to refresh & reboot! Although now, I am in recovery mode - Retreat Hangover! LOL!

Thanks so much to Paige for EVERYTHING! I would be beside myself, with last minute changes to the venue & sorting everything out! But it did in the end, and it was AMAZING!

Anyway, so while I was there I managed to scrap a "few" layouts - too much chatting does limit the amount to create!

I wanted to share with you one of the two layouts I created based on the May Moodboard/Sketch Challenge at Bee Arty... 

I went with the colours and added a few flowers based on the image of the flowers too....

I started off by gathering all the Bee Arty colours - Candy, Sunflower, Apple of My Eye & Blush - either in Mica Powder or Shimmer Dust - splattering these colours to Bee Arty Thick White Cardstock that I had added White Heavy Gesso too.

I have then collected some bits and pieces that I have accumulated on my scrappy table to create clusters around my photo. The photo I have matted using one of the lovely NEW Bee the Sunshine papers, I have also backed the White Cardstock with Bee the Sunshine Paper too.

I've coloured the #bestday chipboard with Wine Shimmer Dust & also the Diamond Metal Die.

I've stamped the cute Man & Woman stamp from the Scrabble - Clear Stamp Set randomly on the page using the Apple of my Eye Mica Powder & Water.

Here is the end result...

So, if you haven't already make sure you give it a go if you haven't already!

PS... here's a sneak of the other layout I created based on the sketch.... using the NEW Snow White Shimmer Spray - it's so gorgeous!

Thanks for popping in! Now, time to get scrappy!

"Party Girls" by Charmane Koch

Hey Guys!

Happy Tuesday! We will ignore all dramas of the world and focus on the fun, brand NEW Fireworks Collection!!!

Who's played with it yet? 

Today I wanted to share with you a layout I created with leftover mix of Embossing Powders...I did end up pouring way too much on that first layout!

To start my layout I have sprinkled Wine, Candy & Lollipop Shimmer Dusts over the top of a sprayed piece of White Cardstock. I have then sprayed a little more, then using a heat gun dried the page off...

I have then stencilled on the Candles over the top of that using White Gesso, then sprinkled the Embossing powder over the top. I have then dried it with a Heat Gun.

I did a little MINI VIDEO over in the Bee Arty Hive on how I did the Music Notes stamp from the Funtime Clear Stamp - using Versamark Clear Ink, then sprinkling over MORE of the Embossing Powder!

I also stamped "Party Girls" using the Uppercase Stamp Set & Embossing Powder too...

I cut out some of the presents & the cute banner from the Party Metal Die {so cute!} to add to my layout...

I decided it needed a colourful edge to my layout so I used the Sparkles paper, trimming the White Cardstock & distressing with a bit of machine stitching to finish it off!

I love how it all come together!

Have I inspired you to get messy??

You can find all of these awesome goodies in the Fireworks section!

Have a great day! Happy Creating!
