Live Life in Full Bloom Mixed Media Academy April Challenge Entry

Hey Crafty friends,  I finally had a chance to create!  I love challenges because it gives me inspiration to start a project!  

I love this moodboard at Mixed Media Academy Challenge,  so bright and cheery!  and who doesn't love to use flowers in their projects!  It would be a challenge for me not to use flowers!  LOL!

Below is my layout I created using Reneabouquets butterflies,  beautiful board and microbeads.  I also used Prima Marketing,  Finnabair and 49 and Market products.

More close ups below!

Hope you get a chance to join the challenge Mixed Media Adacemy Challenge!  

Thank you for stopping by!
Happy Crafting!

DT Project for 49 and Market using Serendipitous collection

Hi Crafty Friends I'm here with a Magical layout using the new mini collection "Serendipitous",  this is one of my favorite collections!  I used the back of "Rain Storm" for my background and used a bunch of flowers!
I started out with texture paste,  glitter paste and a stencil to create some background texture,  then I used "Bohemian Mask" with a white ink pad and Gabi's Hibiscus with a gold ink pad.  I added some cheesecloth and trim from my stash to create my design.  Then I used die cutouts from "Serendipitous" lasercut sheet for adding my layers along with the layered embellishment sheet,  these added dimension and interest!

For the flower embellishments I added "Wildflowers" Punch and "Stargazers" Sky Blue,  these were a perfect match for my layout!  One last embellishment was Dusty Attic's the "Great Outdoors" collection!  

My finishing touches was to sprinkle acrylic paint,  seed beads, sequins and microbeads to complete my layout.  As always thank you for stopping by!  Be sure to keep your eye out for all the talented design team's new projects using 49 and Market!

Dt Project for 49 and Market Remember

Hi Crafty Friends,  I'm here with another layout using the Gorgeous Serendipitous Mini Collection.  I think this is one of my favorites!  I started with After the Rain paper for my background and then I tore paper from Rain Storm, Hazy Morning and Misty Breeze to begin my design.  I added some lace and some trim from my stash and then started adding flowers from the Flower Mini Series-Punch,  Mushroom and Country Blooms-Cloud.  I also got my metal dies out and diecut some flowers out for added texture.  Once I had everything in place I added the fun Wishing Bubbles-Grape Soda and also added Lasercuts from the collection.  I just love this collection since one of my favorite themes to create is Fairy and Dreamy!  

I love to add different textures to my projects,  so I added the Burlap Ribbon Roll and Jute Cording 5 Ply for more interest to all my layers.

For the last embellishment accent I added Dusty Attics Archival Board-Great Outdoors and I used Remember Archival Board to name this layout!  Then I added some seedbeads and sprinkled some acrylic paint to complete my layout!

As always thank you for stopping by,  please be sure to check back for more projects from the talented design team!  Happy Creating!

DT Layout for 49 and Market Remember

Hey Crafty Friends,  Phyllis here to share my DT project using the Gorgeous Serendipitous Collection!  

I started out by tearing "Misty Breeze" into 2 pieces then I started my layers with some of the Lasercut sheet from the collection.  I made some diecuts from my metal dies for more layering,  then created 3 spaces for photos,  this is not always easy but I managed to do it!  

I cut out some matting from "After the Rain" and "Rain Storm".  Then I placed flowers from Country Blooms "Violet" and Stargazers "Periwinkle" tucked them around the phot matting.  Then I fussy cut out some images from Serendipitous "Hazy Morning" for more layers.  I added some Laser cut Butterflies and a Dragonfly around the photo matting.  

To complete my layout I added Wishing Bubbles "Grape Soda" for more dimension along with some Beads and Art Stones from my stash.  I piled the embellishments on and added Dusty Attic's "Great Outdoors"!   And of course I love the look of flicked paint!  

Be sure to check out the Design Team Projects,  so inspiring!  Thank you for stopping by!  

Happy Creating!

DT Project for 49 and Market Cherish

Hi Crafty Friends Phyllis here to share my latest layout "Cherish".  Have you seen the new collection from 49 and Market "Ethereal" it is so Gorgeous!

 I Love the way paper look when it is torn so that's how I started this layout!  I used front and back of  Ethereal "Floral".  I added some lace from my stash and started embellishing with Country Blooms "Scarlet",  "Tangerine" and Stargazers "Simply White".  I also used Dusty Attic's "Treasure" chipboard and the Laser Cut sheet die cuts,  these are so Gorgeous!  I couldn't stop layering with the Laser Cut die cuts!  

I'm all about layers and textures so I added some Wishing Bubbles "Taffy",  (another new favorite of mine) and Burlap Ribbon Roll "Cream".  From my stash I finished off the layout with some beads and string pearls.
