Lazy Summer Days Scrapbook Layout with Laura Gilhuly

Fall is here is full force – the leaves have changed, its rainy, and its cold at night....I miss summer

So I created a summer layout!

I started by trimming Tim Holtz papers then applied clear gesso to the front and back  of main sheet of paper so it does not curl.

I then used embossing paste through my new stencil from Southern Ridge.  I added some mocha embossing powder and then some blue tinsel embossing powder and heat set.  I then applied some turquoise and burnt sienna Brusho powders.  I sprayed with water and let the it dry 

Here you can see all the colours and dimension

 I created a line of flowers, shells, pearls and prills to go with the nautical theme

I love the title - it came with a really cute summer sun but it didn't end up suiting my layout so I trimmed it off.

The title I covered with ink then added the mocha embossing powder and the blue sparkle powder and heat set it.  I did it a few times until it looked like I wanted it to.  I put some turquoise Brusho powder on my work mat, sprayed with water then dabbed it on my title piece.

Happy Halloween Scrapbook Layout with Laura Gilhuly

Good morning!

I am excited to bring you my first layout for  

Southern Ridge Trading Company!

With Halloween right around the corner I wanted to showcase their wonderful Halloween designs! 

The creepy looking guy is our oldest a couple of years ago.....

I started by layering my papers and distressing the edges, then I misted some doilies and cheese cloth

 I heat embossed the corner web then used the same green mist I used on the cheesecloth on the spider from the Happy Halloween card, then added some lime green crushed glitter glass to its body and inked its legs

For the title piece I embossed the spider web then painted on the same green mist on the 'happy halloween' painted the jack-o-lantern and  the ghost.  I added more crushed glitter glass and inked it all to add a eerie feel.

The bat is also from the happy halloween card and was the perfect accent for over the photo 

I added ribbon, flowers, metal Halloween pieces, flowers and a banner to finish off my layout!
