The "Autumn Bloom" Kit, with all of the rustic elements, made me think of creating a garden setting. The Mediums Add-On, featuring Distress Oxide Inks from Ranger, made me think canvas. Here's how the two ideas came together.


I had intended to wipe the ink off the stenciled butterflies, but I think that the Martha Stewart glitter paint works a lot better.


Fun cut-outs and gorgeous blooms and foliage make such a pretty setting...

A local craft chain had paper mache pumpkins on sale, and I couldn't resist picking up a few(!) at half price.
I've used some gesso, some of the Prima Metallique acrylic paint from the July Embellishment Kit and some of the new Oxide Inks from Ranger (check out the Swirly Mediums Kit for September) to come up with a gorgeous bit of home decor for Fall.

Some closeups...

Hello, scrappy peeps!

Now to share my projects created with the July kit of the month. I loved the Scrapberry papers. Didn't you? So, first I'll share the layout created with Kim's awesome sketch.


I left the chipboard naked and added some cardboard (from the box my kit came in) underneath the photo. The "happy" is an acetate piece from Heidi Swapp. The word strips are Tim Holtz. I added some Prima Art Stones and Mini Art Stones to fill in some around the flowers. Then, painted them with Prima watercolors.






I liked how the cardboard looked so I used it on this layout, too.

I cut the 49 and Market flower spray apart to use it around the picture. There are lots of distressed layers on this one.


Here's a tribute page to my grandfather. This is more of a grungy, masculine layout.

Ok, here's the Anatomy of a Layout that is posted in the Swirlydoos forum. 
You can find the SnapGuide here.


I decided to make the page interactive. So, it has a hidden flap that opens to reveal more photos and journalling.








Stay tuned for my video tutorial on this OTP project.



Here's the view from the back.


These are Design Team projects I created for Swirlydoos Scrapbook Kit Club.

It's my turn to post a Swirlydoos Saturday Tutorial, and I decided to turn an empty wine bottle into a piece of decor, using the Finnabair method of layers on layers
This is a great way to use your embellishment odds and ends, as well as some of the mists that you've accumulated through the years.

Some closeups...




The tutorial is on Snapguide; here's the link.
