<div align="center">
Greeting paper peeps!!</div>
<div align="center">
Today I would like to share with you a layout I created filled with fantasy and whimsy. I was inspired by the three challenges below. </div>
<div align="center">

I love this cut out picture of my daughter on her way to the prom. Throwing care to the wind she steps out of the everyday and into her zany carefree self. Just like a beautiful butterfly free to be themselves.</div>

<div align="center">
After selecting the beautiful 7DS paper I set about putting a thin coat of gesso on it so the paint colors would stand out better. Then I used two different masks to center my design. I used several layers of the LSG Sunset Pink to achieve the right intensity then came back and applied Clam Baked Beige and Ocean Breeze Blue. I finished it off with a bit of stamping.</div>

As some of you may have noticed I have not been very active on my blog. I have decided to take a break from scraping as much as I have in the past. Spring is here and I can't wait to play in my gardens. So here is my ode to Spring.</div>

I have used Graphic 45 Sweet Sentiments paper for this layout.</div>

<div align="center">
For the background I used a stencil with modeling paste then applied a pink embossing powder over it and dried it. This has caused this lovely bubbled affect.</div>

Before I share my final layout with you this month I would like to thank Blue Fern Studios for choosing me as their "Fan" of the month. It has been a wonderful honor and opportunity to work alongside the very talented BFS design team. I absolutely adore <span style="color: blue;">Blue Fern Studio products </span>from their gorgeous paper collection, coordinating blooms to embossing powders etc!<br />
<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
Hello all of you Blue Fern Studio fans! Kathleen here with another layout for you. This time we are leaving the tropics far behind and landing in Ireland with my second daughter. Here we were visiting the beautiful town of Trim.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I used the beautiful Twilight Fable paper with lovely rose bouquets scatter all around. To begin this layout I used note punch and used it randomly around the paper. I used a doily punch on one of the strips you cut off from the bottom of the paper and glued equal pieces behind the first punch outs then backed it all with white cardstock. Then using a stencil and modeling paste I created a linear background to the design.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<div align="center">
Next I cut out then layered the note cards, cut outs lace and chipboard. The chipboard is so gorgeous. I used seafoam embossing powder on half of the chippie and painted the rest in red top with pink pearl glitter. The chippie was cut into sections then tucked into the layers.</div>

<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
I selected blooms from the Dark Tropical Lilies and Attic Charm Glitter Roses plus a couple from my stash. Then using a deep pink rose paint and tea stain brown I painted around the layers topping it off with white splatters. Finally I added a few red pearl dots from my stash and voila we are done!</div>

For the back ground I used a mask and pasted. After that dried I layered my note card using pop dots in between each layer to give height allowing space for tucking bits and pieces. I cutout the girl holding a journal from the note card "My Story" and tucked it into the foliage.<br />
Finally using some green and burnt red water colors I shaded in areas around the design. Then came a few copper micro beads and blue glass beads to complete it.</div>

When you don't have a lot of blooms just pull apart layers and tuck them into the foliage as shown above. Then add a few beads to the bottom layer and viola another complete bloom shown below.<br />

Hello again! Kathleen here with you.</div>
<div align="center">
</div>
<div align="center">
You will find I mainly scrap my family and our adventures. So now our travels take us to the other side of the world! This is a picture of my daughter with some Chinese students after they performed a dance at their school in rural China. For this layout I select the Heartland collection- Love Blooms paper as my base and Love Notes paper for my layers.</div>

The first thing I did was to make three circles of various sizes with a clock mask and modeling paste.</div>
<div align="center">
Next I cut out several note cards from the Love Notes paper. I matted my picture and a couple of the note card with white cardstock. Next I tore out a page from an old dictionary crumpled It (this creates added texture) and layered it in my collage.</div>

I love, love, love this sweet chipboard piece don't you!! The first thing I did was cover it in a thin layer of gesso. Then I came back and used Stormy Seas embossing powder on the long cutout portion of the chippie. It sparkles so beautifully but unfortunately you just don't see it in the picture. Then I used Pink Pearl embossing powder as a base coat on the bird and vine middle section of the chippie. Then I came back and using a glaze medium(I always try using things in different ways such as glaze for gluing purposes) and mixed it with a heavy dose of Pink Pearl glitter. It goes on very thick and poufy which I adore! </div>

On the inside of the floral heart I used a sea inspired stencil then using several shades of blue I recreated the ocean to mirror the picture. I cut out a piece of white card stock to frame the picture with then positioned one of the Heartland card notes behind it to accentuate the sand tones. I dipped a long strip of cheese cloth in a soft blue paint and flowed it behind the picture along with some white string. Then I tore strips from the Songbird Drama paper to create height and anchor it all.</div>

<a href="http://7dotsstudio.com/archives/24377">7Dots Studio's challenge</a> this month is all about Steampunk.<br />
This month we would like to encourage you to create any Steampunk project. According to Wikipedia: “Steampunk is a subgenre of science fiction or science fantasy that incorporates technology and aesthetic designs inspired by 19th-century industrial steam-powered machinery.”<br />
<a href="http://7dotsstudio.com/archives/24377" title="September challenge – Steampunk"><img alt="September 2016 challenge" class="attachment-thumbnail" src="http://7dotsstudio.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/09/september2016-challenge-7DS-150x150.jpg" height="150" title="September 2016 challenge" width="150" /></a><br />
Gears and old time technology are the theme in my layout. The colors I incorporated give it a sci fi feel I think.<br />
I used 7 dots Studio-Yuletide collection-Sugar Plum<br />
Domestic Goddess 6x12 Alpha Stickers<br />
Lost and Found 6x12 Word Stickers<br />
<br />

I love using 7 Dots Studio products. I used a paper with a neutral background to balance all of the different color paints and masks.<br />

For this layout I first applied my mists beginning with the blues one on top of the other blending them as they dried. Next I came back with my yellow, copper and white making bold splashes ending with more petite splashes in blues. This was followed by randomly applying orange modeling paste with a script mask.<br />

Magic!</h2>

Do you believe in Magic? Autumn is such a magical time of year. A time of "change" and delight. The days grow shorter and cooler and nature puts on brilliant show before tucking in for a long winter's nap. <br />

The thing I love about LSG products like the ones listed below is that you can dip your paint brush to the bottom and scoop up the simmer layer as a new color to use in your design. Then shake the bottle to combine the starburst for a whole new color. This is how I achieved the background splashes and the graduated colors on the feathers.</div>

Greetings very one, Kathleen White here with you today. Thanks for stopping by the blog. Today I have a new fall themed layout I would like to share with you using 7Dots Studio paper from their winter collection Yuletide. I love this collection for its designs and versatility. The colors are vibrant and moody which transcend the seasons.</div>
<div data-mce-style="text-align: center;" style="text-align: center;">
For my layout today I have used the "Mistletoe" from the Yuletide collection as my background.</div>

For the background on this layout I began by using Tim Holtz Doily stencil and modeling paste. Using LSG mists I came back in using a paint brush and randomly applied my colors till I was satisfied with the final results. Now I started building my centerpiece to frame my picture using 7 dots Studio " Illumination 6x6" sheets the gray side and using a punch to create a doily edge. Using corrugated cardboard I tore off sections then and centered them on three sides. Then finishing it off with a scrap piece of rust cardstock.<br />

It is hard to believe summer will soon end. I don't know about you but I personally love fall and look forward to cooler days, falling leaves and long hikes in the woods. So it is fare to" say I "delight" in the autumn season.</div>

I would like to thank a very lovely commenter for suggesting that perhaps another picture would enhance this layout more than the one I had originally chosen. She was right. Thank you Di for your expert eye. So I decided to make this into a flip book to show my girls then and now.</div>

The next challenge I entered worked with sunlight. I started by adding gesso to portions of my background then adding a stencil that can pass as sunburst. Next I added various shades of yellow and pink then stippled it all in white. </div>
<div align="center">
I decided to take this picture under the window so you could see how the colors blend in hues of the sun from bright white to golden with hints of pink.</div>

Above on my title I used a purple with white flecks embossing powder then dotted the area with these lovely blue and purple micro beads. </div>
<div align="center">
I love the stripes ,gingham plaids and circles on the papers. They add so much excitement and fun when layered together!</div>

For Christmas last year I gave my hubby a box of European liquor bon bons which came in a wooden box. He was so enraptured with the sweets that I thought I would recreate the box so he could keep it on his desk as a lovely keepsake.</div>

This will be my last project for Helmar Glue. I have had a lovely time working side by side with such exceptionally talented ladies. I would like to thank Kimberly Yvonne and Mark Ripper for inviting to this wonderful team and the exceptional Helmar products I was fortunate to play with for the past year. I will miss my time with team. Thank you all<br />

<br />
First I gathered up all the items I wanted to created this trinket box.<br />
Papers, Pearls, Chipboard corners, black marker<br />
<br />
<em><a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/decoupage-craft-paste-8-45-fl-oz-detail.html">Helmar Decoupage glue</a>, </em><a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/scrapbooking/acid-free-glue-1-7-fl-oz-detail.html"><em>Helmare Acid Free glue</em></a><em>, </em><a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/gemstone-glue-1-7-fl-oz-detail.html"><em>Helmar Gemstone Glue</em></a><em>, </em><a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/zapdots-white-round-1-2-detail.html"><em>Helmar Zapdots</em></a><em> and <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/art-and-general-craft/detail.html">Helmar Craft and </a></em><em><a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/art-and-general-craft/detail.html">Hobby glue</a></em><br />

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7saRde2DzuD3-3lPYzAkPxgSti5d81GNwDx90V-5uj6lw0RLzb0hxiRKVKjL2DyBp2P2NXyVd53R0NVG2eINbAaPwAG4r_YrYiVjZY8sR5k_It81MQpZ7RiW-ILYAC1xBReWbcvAjZzOZ/s1600/IMG_4012.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh7saRde2DzuD3-3lPYzAkPxgSti5d81GNwDx90V-5uj6lw0RLzb0hxiRKVKjL2DyBp2P2NXyVd53R0NVG2eINbAaPwAG4r_YrYiVjZY8sR5k_It81MQpZ7RiW-ILYAC1xBReWbcvAjZzOZ/s640/IMG_4012.JPG" width="396" /></a></div>
<br />
I used my black marker on all of the edges including inside the box.<br />
I cut all my papers to size.<br />
Using Helmar De'coupage glue I then glued down all of the strips of paper starting with the bottom of box then the sides.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I used <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/zapdots-white-round-1-2-detail.html">Helmar 1/2" square Zapdots</a> in-between the slats to keep the down strips from collapsing.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I decided not to show the slats on top of the box instead using solid strips of paper. The bead panels were secured with favorite <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/art-and-general-craft/detail.html"><em>Helmar Craft and </em></a><em><a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/art-and-general-craft/detail.html">Hobby glue</a>.</em><br />

<br />
The chipboard corners where painted with Lindy's Stamp Gang Ponderosa Pine Olive. One set is secured to the base of the box while the other ones lie on the top slats and secured with <a href="https://www.blogger.com/null"><em>Helmar Craft and Hobby glue</em></a><em>. </em>I used <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/zapdots-white-round-1-2-detail.html"><em>Helmar Zapdots</em></a><em> </em>to elevate the center piece cut out. Finally I applied a few gem dots with <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/gemstone-glue-1-7-fl-oz-detail.html"><em>Helmar Gemstone Glue</em></a>.<br />

There is an old express train that runs from Grapevine, Texas to the Ft. Worth Stockyard. So for my birthday one year hubby treated me to a day in the past. It was magical. But now my time here with you has come to an end. I wish to thank Jennifer of Nani ke Ola and all the wonderful and talented team mates for a fantastic time.

I used the Tea Time collection paper for the base of this layout and fussy cut elements from Marion Smith-Junque Gypsy-Shangri La. <br />
After spreading a very light coat of gesso I came back and spritzed the paper with teal and pink paints. Next I used a stencil and modeling paste around the outskirts of the layout.</div>

Hi everyone! This is a picture I took of my oh so Irish grandson in his Irish gersey. We took him to Williamsburg shortly before Halloween. Just look at those red curly locks! For this layout I used my favorite<a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/zapdots-black-round-1-2-detail.html"> Helmar black 1/2" round Zapdots</a> to elevate the picture and<a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/scrapbooking/acid-free-glue-1-7-fl-oz-detail.html"> Helmar Acid Free glued</a> to secure all the elements in place.</div>

Just look at the wonderful colors. It's such an outstanding kit. I love the embossing powder with the flecks of white in it. On this layout I used embossing medium on a stamp then applied my embossing powder and sealed it with a hot air dryer.<br />
Stash items: micro beads and purple ribbon.<br />

Now for my final layout. Here I started by putting a layer of gesso on the base paper then spritzing with the beautiful purple purple paint. Then I came back using stencil and modeling paste. I finished by layering a few of the cut out card and die cuts.<br />

My final project is this lovely trinket box. I used the modeling paste that comes with this kit as a thick paint to coat the box. I cut out four pieces of the print paper and glued them in the boxes. Then I cut out a few of my favorite photos places them in the boxes and finished with a few die cuts and blooms. The blooms came from my stash.<br />

For this layout I selected 7 Dots Studio Domestic Goddes-Over Used Table Cloth and 12th teacup which is cut 1/2" off each side and laid on top.<br />
I used a swiss dot stencil and modeling paste and randomly on both sides of the layout by gently sliding the stencil underneath the top layer.<br />
Next I spritzed the layout with Lindy's Stamp Gang Silent Night Silver.<br />

Hello, C'est Magnifique Friends! Welcome to the C'est Magnifique's Progressive Pages ! This challenge will accommodate all levels of scrappers from the beginners/clean scrappers to all you mixed media artists! Greetings and welcome back! Kathleen here with a fun layout using this month's Enchanted Gardens Kit.</div>
<div align="center">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Most scrappers will have a few paper punches laying around and this layout gives you the opportunity to put them in use. This is a doily lace punch and I opted not to tear off the top strip.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I randomly used the punch on all four sides then glued strips of the green print paper behind them.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Next I cut off the tail end of my arrows. with the arrow heads facing opposing directions I adhered them 2" from the top and bottom.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
My picture is matted with three different patterned papers using different punches randomly to offer more texture and movement and set it on the lower arrow.</div>
<br />

<br />
<div align="center">
Next I selected a variety of objects from the "Recall" and "Timeless" papers and cut them out. I then created a montage using these cutouts on the top arrow and a couple of items for the bottom arrow and slipped in a sticker or two. </div>

<div align="center">
The Enchanted Gardens kit come with this gorgeous beaded ribbon which I placed on top of my montage.</div>
<div align="center">
Next using the C'est Magnifique Pink Bubble paint found in last months mix media kit I high lighted the areas around the arrows. Next I stamped around those areas with a chicken wire stamp followed by a leafy vine stamp. </div>
<div align="center">
I completed my layout by creating a floral arrangement with the lush green leaves, miniature flowers and butterfly. </div>

Happy Valentine's Days everyone! Today I am sharing with you a layout of my two special valentines, my daughters. This photo shows their very distinctive personalities!<br />
I did not want to loose the color or design of this paper by applying gesso. I also didn't have any clear gesso but I did have <a href="http://www.helmarusa.com/crystal-kote-fixative-spray-14-11-oz-detail.html">Helmar's Crystal Kote Fixative.</a> I gave both sides of the paper a good spray. Now the paper is ready to take on the paints without soaking into the paper. <br />
For this layout I choose7 Dots Studio <a href="http://www.nanikeolascrapbooking.com/domestic-goddess-ah-whatever/"> Domestic Goddess-Ah, Whatever paper.</a><br />
for the base and layered in cards and tags from the <a href="http://www.nanikeolascrapbooking.com/domestic-goddess-collage-fashionista/">7Dots Studio Domestic Goddess-Collage-Fashionista</a> and <a href="http://www.nanikeolascrapbooking.com/domestic-goddess-tags-12x12/">Domestic Goddess-Tags 12x12</a>.<br />
I applied some red model paste using the <a href="http://www.nanikeolascrapbooking.com/soulmates-squares-mask/">7 Dots Studio Soul Mates- Squares mask</a>.<br />
