White with 1 - April Challenge by Elisa Ablett

http://whitewith1.blogspot.com.au/

Elisa here with my layout for the April Challenge over at whitewith1 blog. I loved this months colour (sand), as soon as I saw it I thought of this photo and these awesome new stamps from Kaszazz that I had just bought. I also used a much loved technique of using texture paste to make seagulls through the negative side of a chipboard sheet (from a http://scrappychatdesigns.blogspot.com.au/ kit). I have only completed a few layouts where I created a 'scene' with stamps in the background around a photo and I must admit I quite like how this turned out. A very effective scrapbooking technique.

Scrap the Girls - Adore by Elisa Ablett

Hi Elisa here again with another layout - created this time for the April Mood board challenge for Scrap the Girls blog and what a beautiful mood board it is!! For my layout I created a rainbow flower background using a sponge dauber with different inks through a stencil and also coordinating ink splatters. I used a beautiful photo of my niece that shows her bright, sweet and caring personality.

Scrap the Boys - Enjoy Today by Elisa Ablett

Hi Elisa here again with my layout created for the April mood board challenge for Scrap the Boys blog. I love turquoise and well... actually anything blue or green and this was a beautiful mood board, perfect for all those photos I have of the boys at the beach. I used gold texture paste in a spotty stencil to recreate the bokeh effect and for the steel fence in the mood board I utilised a grid texture stamp on the layout. The background is a combination of 3 distress stains splashed together on a craft mat. Thanks for stopping by our blog!

Kraft Plus - April Retro Challenge - Elisa Ablett

Hi Elisa here again, just finished my layout for the April Retro Recipe Challenge for Kraft Plus Challenge Blog. Loved this challenge, the colours and the recipe of tags, washi tape, silver to name a few was amazing. I used yellow paint on a grid texture stamp, texture paste on a background dotty stamp, animal footprint stamp, twine, 3 small tags, silver and kraft coloured tape and silver dotty paper behind the photo. The photo (one of my favourites) of our dog Lila who smiles like this a lot fit perfectly with the colour scheme.

123 Challenge Blog - April Challenge - by Elisa Ablett

Hi Elisa here with my entry into the April Challenge for 123 Challenge Blog. I loved the colour on the mood board - Hot Pink!! definitely a challenge for a mum with 2 boys. Lucky I have nieces and plenty of them ! I found tubes of neon glossy hot pink paint on special at a book store that is closing down and thought I would grab them. I found the perfect photo of my great niece Alesia who is very adept at giving what we call 'the death stare' or the 'stink eye' when she is not happy. I used the paint with a brick stencil, dylusion sprays, black thread, black gloss enamel from Kaszazz and black flower rub-ons from kaisercraft. I loved how it turned out, so bright and yet a bit grungy at the same time.

Just got all the dylusion sprays and when I saw the mood board over at scrap the girls knew it was a great opportunity for a play :) the paper is actually from one of my favourite shops (st vinnys!) just old music book paper lol - use it a lot in my journaling especially.
