The Crafty Maven Getaway: Art Party Friday

Hello Friends. I was on The Crafty Maven Getaway Channel this past Friday with a Mixed Media Scrapbook Layout. On The Crafty Maven Getaway we have a weekly Inspiration board. This is the one I followed this week:

I loved the blues in this peace and the pop of red. I decided to recreate the look of the sky and the water in the photo I was scrapbooking. The photo was taken in St. Marteen this past summer. We took a week long cruise and this was one of the beautiful stops. I used some acrylic gloss medium to create some texture, my idea was to create the look of waves and the ocean. I used some spray mist in three different shades of blue and created an ombre effect while mimicking the photo. I added a few pops of red with some simple embellishing and a border around the whole page. I really love how this turned out.

Happy New Year 2016

Can you believe how quickly 2015 has gone? It seems like only yesterday I was celebrating New Years Eve 2015. I was scheduled on the first of January on The Crafty Maven Getaway YouTube Channel and I knew I wanted to create a project inspired by the lovely inspiration piece which reminded me of New Years Eve. The color scheme of black, silver, gold and pops of red really screamed New Years to me. I had a photo from last years New Years Eve that I hadn’t scrapped and I thought it was just perfect. Being that January 1st was a Friday, I had to follow that days theme which is Art Party Friday. I used Pearlescent Water Colors , Gelattos, Art C Molding Paste  and  Amy Tangerine Stencils to create a Firework inspired background for my photo. It is always fun to use mixed media and create fun, unique backgrounds for my Scrapbooking Layouts. Thanks for stopping by, May 2016 be a fantastic year.
