Happy Saturday!

Did you get the Wistful Blues Medium Add On Kit? It's loaded with some fabulous new products including milk paint and some Shimmerz Inklingz, and they are amazing to use. Here's a little mixed media caddy I made with all the products to showcase what you can do with them.

Hi =) Today it´s my turn to share some more projects mede with the August kit "Wistful Blues". My first layout is a real boyish one.





For this layout I´ve used stuff from the main kit, flower add on, embellishment add on and the medium add on.

My next layout is also a boy page, bur wirh non traditional  boy colors ;). I often use pink on my layouts of my sons.




Also on this page I´ve used stuff from the main kit, flower add on, embellisment add on and mediums add on.

My last projects ia a little flowery card to be used for someone who needs cheering up.

Hey Savages, Kim here to share some more of my layouts made with this months kit Wistful Blues. I had such a great time creating with this kit.

First up is a layout featuring moi (one of my favorite scrapping subjects). I, like some of my other DT members, have found the pinks in this kit. Pink is my signature color, I just love scrapping with it.

I did some distressing to the pattern paper, and some punching around the edges of the grey card stock. I used several pieces of scraps for layering around my photo. I used some panpastels and the mist to highlight behind my layers and clusters. I am loving the panpastels.




I used elements from the main kit, as well as the flower and embellishment add ons. The blue mist came from the mixed media add on. I threw in the panpastels, leaves and chipboard from my stash.


For my next layout, I went with the blues and incorporated some green. I used a photo of dh and myself (another of my favorite scrappy subjects).


I added a few layers behind my photo. I used the great doily that I got a Swirly camp, as a mat to my photo.

Again, I distressed the edges of the pattern paper and used some card stock beneath it. I did a bit of masking with some crackle embossing paste. Oops, I got a little crazy with the flowers and covered up part of the sentiment, lol.

See the cracks, I love the texture it created. I went over it lightly with some green chalk ink to highlight it.


I used the mixed media add on to color my chipboard. There is a piece poking it's head out at the bottom. Once colored, I stamped on it with a script stamp from my stash. Again, I used some panpastels to highlight around my photo and cluster.

Thanks for taking a peek at my final projects with the Wistful Blues kit. Don't forget to stop by the Boutique and pick up your Wistful Blues kit, if they haven't sold out. Or better yet, never miss another kit by subscribing to the monthly kits

Hello everyone! Debbie with you today to share my second reveal with the August kit "Wistful Blues".

This kit is beautiful and if you love scrapping with blue you will love this kit!  One of my favorite embellishments with this kit is the Prima resin butterflies, bees and dragonflies! They can be altered with your favorite medium.  Here I used some Turquoise Inka Gold from my stash.  It really made these cute embellies pop! 

Hi everyone! Angelica here sharing my second reveal projects using the August Kit, Wistful Blues.

This is an altered tray I made using the wood packaging the Prima Resins come in. I love that Prima does that because these trays are so fun to alter! I left the tray bare and just used some of the Inklingz that came in the main kit to color the edges a bit. Once that was dry I went to town embellishing the four nooks. Everything came from the kits except the bird, nest and butterflies. The little eggs  I made with paper clay.

As you may know, we have one of the best card makers around! Paulien has amazing and easy to follow tutorials on the cards she makes! For this card I used one of her tutorials that you can find HERE. This is the first round card that I've ever made. I really love the way it came out!

While looking thru the galley this weekend I came across this stunning mixed media layout, that I couldn't stop looking at. What a gorgeous layout Ginny created. She states she is new to doing mixed media. I think she is a natural. All the beautiful misting and masking highlighting the wonderful picture of Ginny. Her distressing and placement of embellishments draw you right in. Her colors are so vibrant, you can't help but notice this layout.

Amazing job Ginny!!








"My Haven"

One day I spent an hour,
Just sitting in the sun,
I took in all the beauty,
Observed what God had done.

Don't forget to upload your layouts to the gallery. You never know, your layout may get chosen for LOTW.

The other day in the forums we were discussing uses for plastic boxes that come from the grocery store with lettuce and such in them.  I've been saving these lettuce boxes for a while now with the plan to alter them and that conversation prompted me to get with it!

This first box I've altered using our August Kit of the Month, Wistful Blues.   Below is a step by step video tutorial on how I altered this box.  Enjoy!






And one more, this one done with Graphic 45's By the Sea Collection.


I want to see what you can do with your plastic boxes.  It really doesn't take long to do these and they are really pretty and unique ways to box your gifts.

Random punching around the edges completes the masculine and aged look.

I love Steampunk and had fun "punking" up this layout.


I randomly applied copper embossing powder to the flower to give it some "pizazz"!  The corner chippy is ScrapFx and is topped with a Websters cameo.  The bottlecap came in the Embellishment addon.



I painted the wings of this Dusty Attic chippy with Inklingz powder blue (in the main kit) and then embossed the body with Stampedous aged gold.   The metal flower also has aged gold embossing powder on it.

The flower is from the flower add on and I gave it a quick spritz with Lindy's to color it.  The bottlecap and quote inside it are from the embellishment add on.
