By the Sea Mixed Media Project for Scrapaholics

Hello crafty friends, today I'm sharing my second Scrapaholics Design Team project for January and my last as a Design Team member. It's been awesome designing for Scrapaholics and I'm grateful to have had the opportunity this past year, but it's time to step down and go down other creative avenues. For this project I have used the "By the Sea" chipboard title which I have painted with different coloured acrylic paint to give an ombre look. I've then added some white dotting and sprayed with shimmer spray for some added interest and shine.
 
Here is my completed project plus close up photos. A list of Scrapaholics products used is listed below.

Bee Arty January Challenge

Hi my creative friends! Toay I'm sharing my take on the January Challenge over in the Bee Arty Creative Hive. I've been meaning to do the challenges but time gets away on me but this year I've set myself the task to do them. I've decided to really challenge myself and use all three options for the challenge - the sketch, the colour palette and the theme. The sketch is the trickiest because I'm fighting all of my natural urges to do my style and stick to the sketch. 
 
Here is my completed layout plus close up photos.

Lilac Euphoria Mini Album

Hi everyone, today I'm sharing a mini album that I've created using the Lilac Euphoria collection from 3Quarter Designs. This project has been on the backburner for a little while as I've been busy with other design team work and life in general. I've finally got it finished to the point that I can upload it to share. I will probably add a few more bits and pieces but for the most part, it's finished.
