Getting dirty and grungey!

Good morning everyone!
Laura here to share a layout I created!

I am a mom to two very different boys - Cody is tidy and neat! Then there is Tyler....I end up cleaning up after our youngest the most - why you may ask....because he is a dirt magnet!

His favorite pastime is being in the shop with his dad, getting covered in oil and dirt and who knows what else....but he is happy so therefore so am I.

I always say 'God made kids in wash and wear sizes' lol!  

Tylers other favorite activity?  

Riding the go kart - he loves it the most after a rain and he can get a rooster tail going and do doughnuts with mud flying everywhere.....

The smile on his dirty face is proof that he is having a wonderful time!

I wanted the elements and the 7 dots paper to fit the dirty feel I was going for....

I covered the Leaky Shed Watch parts and the Gear Set  and that circle is a part from the Scroll Frame Ornament that I did not use when I used the ornament in sand texture medium, then sprayed them with mists and inks!

after I had everything layered I added some gesso!

I also used the sand gel medium with 'My'  and 'Boy' and with a stencil, then sprayed and inked and gessoed

thanks for stopping by

Hi, Veronica here today to share with you a layout of my daughter Vanessa and her long time high school friend Kristen.

I used the following Leaky Shed Studio chipboard to make my layout.

Paris

Circle Arch Doily

  

My first step was to prepare my chipboard ...

 

I first painted them with gesso to get an even base.

I then painted the pieces with my markers.  Then after it was dry I added a layer of Art Anthology sorbet to give the pieces a bit of shine and glitter.

Next I picked out my embellishments with the color scheme of black and yellow that I had chosen



I finished off my layout with a stamped and embossed word "reflections"

Thank you for stopping by and I hope to have inspired you to add some Leaky Shed Studio chippies to your stash. Chipboard looks great on a layout especially with the large themes that Leaky Shed Studio carries you will find something that enhances your layout.

Happy Scrapping, Veronica (Kitsnbitscraps)

Sneak peek at a new flourish!

Hi everyone, Maggi here to share a very special layout for me because it is a photo of me with my beautiful Chena who I miss so much.  Chena crossed over the bridge Sept 5, 2013 and there is not a day that goes by that I don't miss her and think about her sweet soul.  Ah, but such is the nature of pet ownership, their time on our earth is much too short.  I have to thank my dear friend, Jen aka jrabs, for taking this beautiful photo of me and Chena conversing in our own special way.  AND I must note that my hair is not red, its just the beautiful late afternoon sun making it look that way.

I heat embossed the letters with Ranger Antiquities embossing powder in turquoise. LOVE this stuff!!!  

This is a sneak peek of a new flourish that will soon be added to the store!  It is so elegant, I just love it.  I first painted it with Viva Precious Metal Color - silver and then painted on a little embossing ink, sprinkled with embossing powder and this is the effect.  I love this two toned effect!

Adorable Enameled Chipboard Title

When I began to create this scrapbook layout, I knew immediately that I would be using the "Adorable" Leaky Shed Studio chipboard piece as my title. One look at my "adorable" niece and you can see why...the title fits her perfectly.

I love chipboard, and nothing is more fun than taking a blank piece of it and making it my own. For this piece, I used a fun, "new to me" product by Stampendous called Frantage Embossing Enamels. These powders contain a mixture of colors.

The one I used here has a combination of white, pink and gold that adds a little touch of bling. If you have never tried embossing powders, I would highly recommend these. They are such a fun and easy way to dress up and add your own personal touch to any of the fabulous chipboard by Leaky Shed Studio.

For a complete list of supplies and other details about my layout, please feel free to stop by my blog 17turtles.

HUGS,

Juliana
