Forever In My Heart by Charmane Koch

 Hello Lovely People!

Just a quick share from me today, using few layers of the Whispering Woods papers, that I thought matched perfectly with a photo I found of my baby brother... and the chipboard title was also perfect.

I Embossed the Chipboard title using Olive Sparkle Embossing Powder 

I also created a Charms Creations Heart to match with the papers.

I thought this 80's photo was perfect with the colours of the Whispering Woods paper.

I kept it quite simple by adding a few embellishments - sequins, paper flowers, bow & Paper Doiley.

There'll be a little video over on the Bee Arty Hive to show you how I layered it altogether & embossing the Forever in my Heart chipboard.

I did do a bit of machine sewing over the top of the layered papers, just for a bit of extra texture too.

I used two sheets of the Forest Floor paper...

I used Olive Sparkle Embossing powder from the Sweet Stuff Embossing Bundle {only $20 for 4 colours!}

I hope I've inspired you to whip up a layout! Just layer up your papers, a little bit of paper tearing - stick it all down, add a few embellishments and you have a layout! Oh, and why not have a play with some Embossing Powder while you are at it!

Happy Creating :)

Thanks for popping by!

Catch Up With Mum by Charmane Koch

 Happy Monday People! Although I'm guessing it would feel like Ground Hog Day for a lot of you!

Today I wanted to share with you a layout I created recently for the Scrap the Girls Challenge, using a sketch...

I just love the Grateful Heart Collection & with a few extras I've come up with this layout...

I started off by using the "Family" paper from Grateful Heart

It was a perfect colour match to the photo I was using...

To colour the Mum chipboard, I have gesso'd and then I have coloured with Just Blue Mica Powder with a little water.

I also used the String Wreath Metal Die, by cutting it out with White 350gsm Cardstock & embossing it using Olive Sparkle Embossing Powder - you can find this in the Sweet Stuff Embossing Bundle!

I have also cut out a doily from the Gathers Cut & Colour Paper from the Grateful Heart Collection...

You may also notice that I have used a piece from the Fearless Brave & Free Collection - because the colour matched!

I also decided to make my main paper with the Chic Trendsetter Paper, as the colour of the Houndstooth matched my layout too!

And this is how my layout turned out after adding a few extra bits from my stash and a bit of distressing and machine sewing around the edges...

Nothing like a bit of Mix & Match to come up with this layout!

Family is Life by Charmane Koch

 Happy Friday Everyone! Today I want to share with you another layout I created at the Bee Arty Retreat using a mix of different Bee Arty products from different collections...

I started off using a Spread Your Wings paper as my base, and using modelling paste I have used the NEW Destination Anywhere Pavement A4 Stencil to create texture to my background. Once dried with a heat gun, I have used Leather Mica Powder mixed in water to colour the "brickwork" of the stencil.

I also coloured the scalloped heart Chipboard using the same Leather Mica Powder.

I also coloured the String Wreath Metal Die {cut from 350gsm White Cardstock} and the "family" chipboard word using Olive Sparkle Embossing Powder {found in the Sweet Stuff Embossing Bundle} 

 The Sweet Floral Metal Die I coloured with Olive Grove Mica Powder for the leaves & Punch Mica Powder for the flowers.

I matted my photos using the back of the Grateful Heart Word Sheet, and then distressed the edges.

I added some kitchen string from top left to bottoms right, paper roses and a Charms Creations Hessian Heart to finish the page off. 

I think the colours really work well together in this layout, and tying different floral elements together made this page work!

I hope that you are inspired and like the outcome as much as I do!
