Scrapbooking Global Vintage Challenge

Welcome to my Blog, Studio Shabaz - CreativeMe68
I am the Scrapbooking Global Creative Design Team Member
who sets the Creative challenges and Blog Hop themes for Novemeber.
Each team member get to decide on a theme for both challenges.
We are almost at the end of our first 6 months of challenges and blog hops.
Only myself and Stesha Bloodhart to go...
Then we will be calling for some new design team members....
check out the link at the end of my post if you would like to join.


I chose a theme that I love creating Scrapbooking layouts for...Vintage

Vintage scrap booking, either choose photos that are truly vintage, meaning the old black and white photos or create your own vintage styled photos. Pretty dsp with a floral base with these neutral, brown, gray or green colour tones that create the vintage feel.
A vintage style scrapbook will stand out amongst your other scrapbooks. 
There’s just something about looking at old photos and
feeling as though you stepped into the past.
So I hope I take you right back to approx 1966...

The photos I chose to scrapbook were of my parents when they were dating
or just newly married... I absolutely LOVE this photo.

I found this inspiration while looking at Pinterest...

So that was were my starting point was, trying to recreate a similar background
with our beautiful Share What You Love Stampin' Up! DSP
which has a pearlised finish to some of the papers.

Lots of layers were added to this to make it look vintage....
Embossing Paste, Re-Inkers, Copper Spritz and some stamping.

Very different to what I started with...

More textural elements were added to create that Vintage feel.

Speciality papers, corrugated cardboard, bandage texture, lace, tearing, stamping,
layering of flowers, black and white photos, bling and handwritten journalling

So who goes and rips a perfect background, yep that is me!!!
I needed to add more texture...

These next few photos were taken late at night. So the colouring is way off!!

At this point of creating this layout.. I was almost ready to throw it in the bin
I could get my photo placement right (in my tiny mind)
Or the use of mats for my photos...many options were tried.
I asked many friends what they thought.
Thankfully they don't get bored with me sending photos.

Getting to where I wanted to be now, can see the beginning of a Vintage layout.

So once I worked out my photo placement the layout really started to come together.
The flowers that I cut from Project Life cards that are no longer available
were the only ones that I felt right for the layout.

Then it was just basically placement of the flowers and journalling spot.

Lots of processes to go through to create this layout...
Hope you are not too bored with the process.

FINALLY  the BIG reveal

Hello Lovely Project Life Cards -

October Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop

Welcome to Scrapbook Sunday's Travel/Adventure Blog Hop.
There are 7 fellow Stampin' Up! Demonstrators hopping with me today.
You may have just joined me from Colleen Johnson's Blog
or starting with me...

I do love this theme!!! Travel and Adventure goes hand in hand.
I created my layout with multiple photos from our
trip to South Australia 2yrs ago for a friend's Wedding.


I used Best Route Memories and More Card Pack for my layout.
In this pack you will find 50 double sided cards - 25 designs.
6 single sided lightly embossed speciality card and 4 sticker sheets.
These can be used for Scrapbooking, Memories and More pocket pages
or you can use them to create cards.

I also used a small strip of matching paper from the Best Route DSP.
All the elements were cut simply from the front and backs of the cards.
I also used Maps Etc Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on Mango Melody CS.

 

I do hope that you liked my layout and are inspired to use
the Memories and More card packs in your scrapbooking or cardmaking...
Thanks for hopping with me.

Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop October

Welcome to Scrapbooking Global October Blog Hop with the theme being Celebrate...
Sara Levin is our Designer for the month.
Along with our WONDERFUL Design Team there are 7 of our
Scrapbooking Global members who have decided to join the hop
and create a layout to suit the theme.

You may have just come from Delys Blog, didn't she have an AWESOME layout.
I have been actually struggling to scrapbook at the moment, so I actually
combined both the Hop theme and the Tic Tac Toe Challenge Theme

I am happy with my layout, using Tropical Chic die cuts and
different coloured Spritzers to create my background.

Once I done this and waited for it to dry I could
add the leaves and flowers back onto the layout and bring it to life.
I used the Black Foil Sheets from the Holiday catalogue to create my titles.

As well as my hidden journalling tag that you can see in the next photo.

This is the only trouble when you spritzed the background of your layout,
it becomes all distorted out of shape...
Once in the album it will flattern out.

Thanks for joining me and please follow the next button to
Stesha Bloodhart and the other Blog Hop participants.

 

Also please leave us some love in the comments box below.

Thanks for stopping by my blog

Kre8tors Blog Hop - Autumn Colour Challenge

Welcome to my very first Kre8tors Blog Hop
My name is Sharon Dalton and I live in Queensland Australia

24 Demonstrators from all over the globe
create a card or project using this
colour inspiration 

You may have just joined me from Ilonka's blog

  I chose to do baby wipe technique 
Fold a baby wipe into quarters drop
several drops of re inkers onto your
wipe and this becomes your inkpad which
you stamp your stamps into.

I stamped several leaves onto whisper white cardstock then ran them through the bigshot with the dies. Then I made a watercolour background with the same ink colours.

Add my stamped images to my background and then stuck them down and ran it though the bigshot again inside the Subtle embossing folder

Added some twine and a bow and sentiment

I repeated the process again and created the second card

Colour Combo Blog Hop October

This is how my card started out....

Welcome to Colour Combo Blog Hop for October....
Real Red, Petal Pink and Blackberry Bliss.
Our colour palette is quite a combination that I thought I might struggle with.
You have 15 creations to view with this colour combo...

You may be starting with me or have just joined me from Tanja Klinger-Selinger blog...
Tanya's project is very pretty <3 AND another set that I think I may have to buy.

I started out with the Springtime Impressions Thinlits cut
Whisper White cardstock and then decided to add it to a card design
that I had only made once before...Not very successfully...
Sooo I ditched that card and started again.

Card 2 for the day....was much more successful

Then on to card 3,
I started out with a blank Springtime Impression die cut, then I decided to add some
Real Red Re-Inker and Shimmer paint from the Holiday catalogue.

In a spritzer I added 2 drops of Real Red ink and 2 drops of Frost White Shimmer paint.
Then a small amount of water into the spritzer.

With a Petal Pink background mat I spritzed the die cut to create this background look

Then I add another previously inked die cut over the top of it.
Added a Real Red Mat behind this then I spritzed it again over the
Blackberry Bliss flowers to show the shimmer up...

Here is the finished card...

Up next is a wonderful creation from Renée Eckhardt

Thanks for popping by and checking out my creations...
Please leave me some love in the comment box below...

I will back within an hour with all the photos and all the product details.
