A week of WOW with Tarrah.....Precious Memories..

Hi everyone,
It's Tarrah here with you today for my first proper blog post sharing a layout I created using some of my favourite WOW pieces!! This layout is also my Creative Team sample for the September White With 1 challenge.

WOW products used:

6 x 6 Hearts in a Row ALTAMAZ 

Chloe Flourish 

Memories Word (Custom cut for Scrapbooking from Scratch)

Mini Speech Bubbles

To achieve a look like this, I will show you a few of my creating steps...
Choose your desired WOW 6 x 6 Altamatz stencil/mask and apply some texture paste fairly liberally over the mask....

Use a heat gun or hair dryer to speed up the drying process, then apply a few squirts of your chosen mist, once dry, start embellishing using your favourite WOW chipboard, in my example I have left the Chloe Flourish chipboard in its raw state.....

Choose a paper doily to cover some

 of the mist and masked area... 

I have layered two of the exact same

 photo on top of each other, I added a Maya Road

 flower, a flair button and a journal card.

 On the WOW custom made Memories word, 

I applied texture paste and some mist also.

I have a few more layouts to share with you through the week so be sure to stop by again on Tuesday for another WOW layout share by me!!

Thanks so much for stopping by today...

Kerryn's Week - We are family

Hello! Welcome back to the blog on this fine Saturday morning.

It's my last share for the week and then it's time to hand the batten to Tarrah

Today's page is We are Family
My page features photos from May this year when all of my family was together for my parents 50th anniversary.

I will admit, I absolutely love my sheet of chipboard 2013 and yes they have appeared on many of my pages of late. It was a very sad moment when I realized I have nearly used them all. This one has been  covered with green ink to match my page. The Love Speech Bubble has been coloured with Distress Ink for a transparent finish to allow the etching to stand out more.



I have used a Krafty Bit as the base for my journal spot. Really love the cut out on the Krafty Bits, using patterned paper to add a little colour always looks cool.



The title We are Family has been roughly coated with white gesso, once dry I have covered it with High Impact Red for a bright and rich finish.



I love the finished page, especially when scrapping something so important.



Thanks you so much for following along this week, as always I have loved my week here and hopefully in some small way you have been a little inspired.

Kerryn's Week - You are my star

Hello, Hello!
Back today to show off more WOW goodness, hope you will feel inspired.
I've gone back to my comfort zone today, I'm scrapping my boy :)

Today's page is You are my star
A beautiful snap of my handsome boy.

First piece of WOW up to the spot light was the Wood Veneers Mini Filmstrips that have been covered with black embossing powder and then zapped with a heat gun. I have added patterened paper to the back of the strips to give the page another layer.



The Wood Veneer Mini Polaroid Frame has been left naked, but I have backed it with paper to become the journal spot  and form part of the embellishment cluster. The Wood Veneer Heart icon has been covered with distress ink for a more transparent look.



The feature of the page and of course the title is You are my STAR. I have altered the position of the word 'Star' on the chipboard title to suit my page. I have covered the title with red and gold inks and have the words 'You are my' mounted with 3D foam.



I have also used the 2013 covered with black ink,



I have one more page to share with you all on Saturday and then will hand the blog over to Tarrah.

Kerryn's Week - Oh Dear Me

Hey there again, more to share with you today.
This time I've gone a bit girlie for something different.

Today's page is Oh My Dear
This is my beautiful great-niece on Easter Sunday in her gorgeous new outfit playing in the dirt!

Another page bursting with yummy WOW products.

The 3 mud splats from the Splat Pack were the perfect chipboard pieces for these photos.
I have covered them by blending two shades of brown together, Dark Brown on the inside and Cream Brown on the edges. I finished them off with a thick coat of Glossy Accents.



The Mini Speech Bubble was just swiped with Metallic Rub so the chipboard finish was still visible through the colour and then coated with Glossy Accents.



The You Polaroid Frame was also swiped with metallic rub and used to frame the 'dirt' close up photo.
Love it!!
I coloured the 2013 with green ink but found it faded a little on the page, by coating it with Glossy Accents I found it just gave it a bit more strength.



Here is the finished page, lots of mud splashes mixed with pink and pretty butterflies.
Girlie enough I think LOL!



Be back again tomorrow with more to share. Hope you will drop in.

Kerryn's Week - Sliding Trio

Welcome to the WOW blog this morning.

Hope you are experiencing some of this gorgeous spring weather that we have here in Adelaide at the moment.

Today's page is Sliding Trio
Recent photos from my Sister's visit. My son and his cousins giving the slippery dip a good workout.

This page features lots of different WOW products.

I used the Random Stars 12x12 AltaMATZ to jazz up the background cardstock, I have outlined the stars with a gold metallic pen and then coloured them in. Simple but effective.

The embellishment cluster starts with a new Kraft Bits Journal Card as the base. 
The Mini Polaroid Frame 'Laugh' has been covered with navy ink and backed with lined paper to become my journal spot. 

I love the small Tree of Hearts. The tree was covered with charcoal ink first and let to dry. Once dry, I have coloured the hearts with Turquoise Stickles for a touch of bling. The cluster is complete with the '2013' that was also covered with charcoal ink and then given a coat of Dimensional Magic.



The title has been created using the New Boy Alphabet. I have used Metallic silver ink to colour the letters and then sealed them with Dimensional Magic. The final piece of WOW is the Thumbs Up wood veneer icon was inked with a light yellow and then a thick coat of Dimensional Magic was applied to give it a full finish.



I really love how this page turned out, captures how much fun the kids were having perfectly.



Thanks for visiting the blog today, meet you back here on Wednesday

Kerryn's Week - Zoo Visit

Good morning WOW followers, welcome to the blog on this fine Sunday morning.

Best get the formalities of the day out the way first, Happy Father's Day to all the DAD's out there, hope you enjoy your moment.

Now where was I..............oh yeah!

It's my turn to share my creations with you this week. I will have five different pages to show you, spread across the week. I hope they will give you plenty of ideas for you to try on your own projects.

Today's page is Zoo Visit
Photos are from 2010 and feature my son and his best mate.

I have used the chipboard Bamboo Tree and two of the Mini Speech Bubbles

The tree has been inked using three different shades of green and roughly coated with Dimensional Magic to help blend the colours.




The speech bubbles were coloured using red and yellow inks and left to dry for short period. Then using a black gel been I have doodled borders around each of them and used the pen to highlight the words etched into each bubble. A coat of Dimensional Magic was applied to finish the pieces off which also helped to enhance the black pen.





Here is the finished page, love the bright colour against black cardstock, it always looks fabulous.



That's all for today, enjoy the rest of the day and remember to drop by again tomorrow for more chipboard goodness.
