Coffee Love by Charmane Koch

 I don't know about you but I NEED my Coffee! 

My layout I am sharing with you today is of a couple of coffees Ash & I had at a cute Coffee Shop in the Central Market in South Australia after an overnight stay at the Hilton!

I just loved the coffee table/bench that we were sitting at - with the old newspapers! Love the quirkiness of it... but must of all LOVE the coffee! {and probably needed it after a big night too haha}

I used mostly Grateful Heart goodies mixed in with a few other Bee Arty goodies which I will list here for you!

I started off with Kraft Cardstock as the base. I did cut out a square from it so that I could matte me photo. I did this with a Black Cardstock piece as well, which I trimmed slightly to use as a matte for the Grateful Heart Paper that I used for the background of my layout - love the woodgrain paper! You can get the full Grateful Heart paper pack for only $20! It's such a timeless pack!

But why not get the Stencils, Dies & Stamps that go with the papers? I have used these all many times for different projects! The BUSY BEES are only $70!

I trimmed about 1 cm off each side of the Faith paper and distressed the edges, I stuck this to the Black Cardstock followed by the Kraft.

I tore the Hope paper to give a rough edge, distressed and curled the paper over to expose the other side slightly. I fussy cut part of the leftover paper to tuck behind the ripped cardboard & my photo matte.

I cut out from Kraft & White Cardstock a number of floral/leafy dies - Sweet Floral, Aussie Leaves & the love from the Flower Talk set - this I used for part of my title...

I then added flowers & wood veneers & bits from my stash...

Of course a Charms Creations Book Page Heart was a perfect match...

I also cut out a Butterfly from one of the Butterfly Cut Aparts -  so many to choose from!

And a Flair from the Assorted Flairs from Bee Arty.

This layout was one of my favourites at the Charms Creations At Home Retreat I organised - it was a Scraplift of a Tina Steinborner layout! It just came together so easily - don't you just love it when that happens?

Here's the Dies I used: 

Sweet Floral - CURRENTLY ONLY $10!

Aussie Leaves - a DEFINITE must have!

Flower Talk - perfect for titles! Another must have to your Die Collection!

Thanks for popping by! I hope I've inspired you with this GORGEOUS Paper Collection!

'Be Free' with Lisa Amiet

Hello all!

It's Lisa here on the blog today,

to share some crafty inspiration with you all.

Here is my layout,

'Be Free'

For this one, I have started with a white cardstock base.

I have used some of my Colour Sprays,

in 'Bubblegum', 'Roadbase' and 'Saffron',

to splash my page, in a circular pattern.

I have fussy cut the flowers from 'Heart - Cut & Colour' page from the 

Love & Grace collection. I have used my Colour Sprays to paint them.

I have used 'Saffron' as the base colour for my flowers, 

and I have added some highlights with the 'Bubblegum'.

For the leaves I have mixed 'Saffron' and 'Lagoon' to make the green. 

I then adhered them to opposite corners. 

I have fussy cut the floral frame,

from the 'Annie' 12 x 12 paper, 

and have adhered it to the centre of my page, 

overlapping the flowers.

I have then used the daisy square from the 'Lucas' 12 x 12 paper,

adhered as a diamond rather than a square.

I have then adhered my photo to the centre of the diamond.

I have also used the 'Sweet Floral' Die, to die cut from blue cardstock. 

I have trimmed it up a bit to suit my page.  

I have then adhered sentiments from the 'Love' Word Sheet Paper,

to my page. I have also added a fussy cut bee from the 'Heart' paper.

I really love the boho hippy feel to the page, 

it describes my daughter and her bestie perfectly.

I hope that you like what I have created,

Until next time!

Mothers Day - With Karyn Schultz!

Hi Bee Arty Lovelies!

It's Karyn here and today I have a scrapbook page to share with you made using lots of amazing products from Bee Arty!

I'm also joining in with the March creative challenge. We would love for you to join us with this challenge and be in the running to win a $30 online store voucher. 

I wanted to use some papers from the Follow your dreams collection so I started by selecting all the pink and yellow Bee Arty Colour Blast products I had and creating a colour swatch.

 From this swatch I decided to use the Colour Artist inks in Slipper and Citrus, the Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust , and Fire Engine Colour Paste.

 I start my backgrounds by Painting with plastic/watercolouring with the Colour Artist inks in Slipper and Citrus - make sure you dry between each colour. Then I added splatters of each ink colour and splatters of the Midnight Colour Shimmer Dust mixed with water.

 

Let this dry completely than add Fire Engine Colour Paste through the Devotion stencil in places across the page.

Here is my finished page. I chose a photo of my girls from last Mothers Day - with a fun snapchat filter.

 I've matted my photo on a white paper doilie and elements cut from the Shine paper from the Follow Your Dreams collection. At the bottom of my photo I've added a white paper die cut created using the Sweet Floral Metal Die.

 At the top right corner of my photo I've added an embellishment cluster using sequins, flowers, a metal embellishment and another white paper die cut created using the Sweet Floral Metal Die.

 At the top left of the page I've added an embellishment cluster using more sequins, flowers, paper strips cut from the Shine paper, another white paper die cut created using the Sweet Floral Metal Die, and a word chipboard embellishment that has been painted using Slipper Colour Artist ink.

 

 Along the bottom of the page I've added an embellishment cluster using more sequins, flowers, paper strips cut from the Shine paper, a metal embellishment and another word chipboard embellishment that has been painted using Slipper Colour Artist ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by

'Friends' with Lisa Amiet

Hello Bee Arty fans!

It's Lisa here on the blog today to share a new creation with you.

I have been playing with the 'Love & Grace' collection.

I have started with the 'Lucas' paper as my base.

I have added some mixed media, using the

'Scripted A5 Stencil' and some modelling paste. 

I have added some stamping using the 'Memories Red Rubber Stamp',

and the 'Geo Grunge Stamp'.

I have also splattered my page, 

using a mix of 'Roadbase Colour Spray' and 'Lagoon Colour Spray'.

I have used these to colour some of cut apart elements,

along with 'Gold Shimmer Spray'.

I have fussy cut the elements from the 'Lucinda' paper and 'Heart' paper.

I have used these in among my layers.

I have also used the 'Honeycomb Die' and the 'Sweet Floral Die',

to die-cut some background pieces from white & blue cardstock.

I have added in some flowers in blue & white to match my colour scheme.

I am really happy with this layout. 

I am loving those blue tones!

I hope that you like it too!

Until next time!
