Heather

Hi all, Where is the time going? Spring already? Just want to share a happy warm layout with featuring my most important garden tools. Wink Wink. I love spring and the mood board is perfect for this layout and who doesn’t like flowers. I started out with some background work using the Distressed Chicken Wire Stamp and the Distressed Corner Stamp. I did some simple alteration on the Grass Board Chipboard and Flourish 27 with some Lindy’s Spray. And I toped it off with the Months of the Year and some more stamping with the Distress Circle Stamp. So enjoy the warming weather and all the new blooms peaking their heads out.

Marci

Hello, its Marci.   I was inspired by all of the colors and immediately thought of this photo of my grandson Talan, going off to school early March for WACKY WEDNESDAY dressed in most ALL of these colors.  So, I continued and incorporated all of the colors into the page!  I used (click & go!->) GEARS & Hashtags.   I used a layer of gesso and once dry, I used Tim Holz distress paint to color those gears for a playful effect.  I cut the title on the Silhouette Cameo and added the twist of flowers and used  (click & go->) March & Spring FLAIR; I am  having a love affair with flair buttons! LOL!  If you have some time, please join us for a chance to win $50 in wonderful products!

Nadine

Hello! Nadine here with two tags I created. Color is always something that really inspires me so I went with a green theme to go with this month challenge photo and also added some green flowers. I used some Bird chippies and embossed them with some green, pale yellow and sand embossing powder. I also used the Flourish 23 on each tag, painted them with white gesso and sprays a little bit of green Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist on them.

Bev 

Hi it’s Bev…. today I was inspired by colour and the extra twist to add flowers. With that in mind I chose my papers, photos. lots of flowers and Creative Embellishments accents: Flourish Butterfly Set. Family Banners, and Sunflower Border chipboards. All the chipboards were inked for colour. I stamped  using the Half Tone Circle on the background using white ink and textured using modeling paste and added a fun Season’s Change flair button. With the addition of a few other flowers from Petaloo, some stickles glitter, some gel dots, bead heart and some cardstock matting I share my family with you. One of my favourite things to scrap is my family as you see in this super fun and bright page.

Hi fellow scrappers…   I have been looking forward to spring all winter, as I’m sure most of us are.. 🙂  I decided to play with some of the bunny shaped chippies and created a cute Easter/Spring themed layout.. I have big plans for this layout, I will be adding photos to this as spring progress’s and I get some good photos of my daughter, who is expecting her first baby.. So wanting some big tummy photos for this layout 🙂  I used lots of fun chippies on my layout, the bunnies I covered with snowflake paste to give them that fluffy look, The grass I painted with two tones of green, light and dark.. I cut my flourish into two pieces and painted those with a light blue and green paints, I did the same for the butterfly.. for the title (Dream word set)and the background (mini circle Panel), I left those raw chipboard, since I really liked the contrast of color to the painted chippies.

 I was inspired by the grass and bright colours of this month’s challenge photo to create this fun series of Easter ATCs using the CE Bitten Bunnies. I used the CE Fairy Dust 2 Stencil with some Prima Art Basics Modeling Paste to add some texture to the background of the ATCs. I painted the Bitten Bunnies with Art Anthology Dimensional Paint in Chocolate Sorbet and used a dab of heavy white gesso for the eyes. I used SnowTex to create the puffy tail on the larger bunny. I also used the CE chipboard Grass Set, which I primed with white gesso and then misted with two colour of green mist; then I added glossy accents to the grass. Finally, I used two of the CE chipboard Flourish Eggs, which I painted with Prima Art Alchemy Metallique Acrylic Paints in Pink Blush and Rich Turquoise. I added some Stickles in Fruit Punch and Mermaid to the eggs to bring out the details. Happy Spring!

Laetitia Pauchet

Hi, everyone! For this challenge, I was inspired by the green color of this inspiration picture and the butterfly and for the twist, I used Rose set 2 that I embossed. I applied the acrylic paint with a Raindrop stencil to add texture on my background. I have fun to colorize the Bamboo with the acrylic paint. To add contrast, I stamped with the black Archival ink on my background with Distressed text stamp and Grunge stars stamp. To work my background, I stamped in tone on tone with acrylic pain and Distressed Chevron stamp. Happy Spring !

Happy Spring!! I was inspired by the paint splats in the challenge picture. I love my dog Kosmo. It’s no big secret …he totally tickles me and stole my heart instantly. Kosmo truly does the darnedest things. 🙂  I wuff him. The picture of him above is of him playing Frisbee. He literally lives to play. I could totally talk all day about this dog. I really wish they lived longer.

 I first applied heavy gesso to the background paper using the crackled brick stencil. I also added paint splats with our new paint splat stencil. I altered the infinite circle frame, custom KOSMO chippie piece, grunge heart corner and Fun heart set using my favorite TH paints and stains! For an added touch I added a few happy tails flair.
