Get Muddy Buddy Scrapbook Layout with Charlene Byrd

Hello Bloggers!

Charlene here! Thank for joining me today! How ironic is this layout, here at home we are in the midst of a rainfall warning! Could be up to 100mm's of rain! This is creating the perfect conditions for mudding!

My boys loved riding their 4 wheelers when they were young and especially when it was muddy! If only their mother enjoyed cleaning up the mud lol! Boys will be boys!

To start the the chain frame I stained the chipboard with Walnut Distress Stain.

Then I randomly dabbed metallic Distress Paint onto the chipboard until I created the desired look. Super easy!

I simply used Walnut Stain on the title, twig and round tag. To make the 'Got Mud' stand out a bit more I used a fine tip brown sharpie marker and traced over the letters.

Authentic Layout with Charlene Byrd

Hello ladies!

Thank you for joining me today on the blog!

What’s summer without a little fishing? Well, in my family of 3 men, summer is all about fishing! Southern Ridges’ fishnet chipboard is the perfect accent for a fishing page.

I used the fishnet chipboard in its original form. I simply cut the chipboard to the size I wanted. The Authentic chipboard word ended up looking like wood grain, it was a great oops! I swiped my Walnut Distress Ink across the chipboard. There were a few pieces of shredded paper bits on my ink pad from distressing the edges of my paper and they were wiped across the chipboard. It gave a great, unexpected effect!

The Pine Branches chipboard were simply stained with Walnut Distress Stain. These are definitely a new favourite of mine! I love the delicate detail in them. They will add the perfect touch to so many pages!

Coffee Frame with Corina Finley

Hello,

Thank you for joining me, Corina, for today's post. I have created a Winter Coffee Frame as a gift for a fellow coffee loving friend. I have left the mattes empty so she can add her favourite pictures.

I started out using a Kaisercraft Beyond the Page - Nine Frame Photo Display and painted it with Java Bean brown acrylic paint and sanded the edges. I added pattern paper to back each of the spaces. I cut pieces from the pattern paper to embellish each space, used a die from the Tim Holtz Holiday Greens collection and a variety of Southern Ridge embellishments.

Here are a few close ups of some of the Southern Ridge embellishment that I used:

The largest cup from the Paper Coffee Cup Combo. I painted with Antique Linen Distress Paint and used Vintage Photo ink and a Sakura Clear Stars pen to highlight. Added a sleeve created using decorative twine, pattern paper, cardstock and a miniature chipboard heart.
