Icecream canvas

Hi there!  Today I am stopping by with my super duper cute Icecream canvas I created using mostly Pretty Little Studio products.  Its sooooo cute this piece, the picture really doesn't do it justice!!  I used lots of PLS papers and layered them up with some calico pieces also.

 

I cut, distressed and layered all the layers with foam tape.  For the background I cut up tiny pieces of Vellum in Gold Starry and blended it into my mixed media work.  Lastly I topped the ice cream with a couple of Die-cut Cloud 9 pieces.

 

 

 

Product list:

• Paper: Baby Jack – Baby Jason/Baby Carter. Baby Claire – Baby Mia, Nature Walk – Tree Root, Neapolitan – Pistachio
• Embellishments:  Vellum Gold Starry, True Love Gold Flags, Diecut Cloud 9, Cut Out Love Story Word flags

 

 

 

 

 

You can find all these cute papers HERE in the Pretty Little Studio shop.

 

Thanks for looking.

Hugs xoxo

 

 



Pretty Friday Shares............

Happy Friday to you all, I hope you have a wonderful weekend planned :)

Today I have a couple of creations to share with you.

 

The first one was another creation I created whilst on holidays.  I started off with a stencilled background.  If you follow me on Instagram (STACEYYOUNG81) or my facebook page (StaceyYoung Creations and Crafts) you may have seen the before shot of the stencil :)  I then of course had to fill it up with lots of pretties and a smidgen of black and white to match in with my photo.  I just love this pic of all of together reading books!!!

 

 

 

"Together"

 

 

 

 

 

I used some more Maggie Holmes Confetti and a little Craft Market.

 

 



I also used lots of gorgeous Shimmerz products.  To name a few -

Vibez Egg Noggin

Coloringz Pretty In Pink/Well Blue Me Down/Night Moves

Inklingz Good As Gold/Sun Kissed

Spritz Mango Madness

 



 

Some pretty Prima flowers :)

 

 

 

My second creation today was based on inspiration from the following photo.

It was shared on the Pretty Little Studio blog last week.

 

 

 

 

 

The painting in this picture certainly caught my attention, it’s amazing.  I took inspiration from the colours and painted the background to match.  I also loved the Woodgrain and choose a some Silly Monkey paper to match the brown colour.  I used a flower die cut to cut some layered flowers out of the pink papers and placed the Journaling card from the You & Me Collection to accent the left hand side.

 



"I'll Always Be There"

PLS sketch

 

Pretty Little Studio releases a sketch challenge each month.  This months challenge was wonderful and a great starting point for me.  You can find all of the details HERE. 

 

I really enjoyed creating with this sketch.   I often lose the sketch in amongst all of my layers but if you look closely enough you can definitely see this sketch was the starting point for my creation. 

 

I have mixed the collection You & Me in with some Woodland creatures to create a Easter themed layout.  I have also used lots of colour for the theme of Easter.  I added lots of mixed media and finished off the page by scattering a few Die cut Butterflies in the co-ordinating colours! 

 

 

 

"Hello Bunny"

• You & Me Collection: Paper: You & Me – Crush on You/More Love, Cutout- Long label tags, Tabs Together, Cutouts Love story word Flags

PLS - pin inspiration

Hi there!!

This little page went up on the Pretty Little Studio Blog last week.

 

 I have taken inspiration from this Pin.  I have chosen to use the colours from the picture for my fun layout.  I used a mixture of different collections to bring my layout together.  I loved the circle shape in the picture and made a couple of pie charts out of the You & Me paper Heartstrings.  I also loved the Polka Dot background and used the Baby Jack paper Baby Chase (yellow dot) as part of my background too.  I added a couple of Flair pieces along with some die-cut Clouds, Tabs and Paper Ribbons.

 

 

 

 

"Totally Awesome"

 



PLS Products Used:

 

Pattern Papers :  You & Me Heartstrings/My Honey Bun, Cupid 8 x 8, Back Jack, Baby Chase
Embellishments: Neopolitan Polaroid tags, Tabs Twinkle, Tabs Together, Flair Silly Flora, Flair Heart You Buttons, Diecut Cloud 9, Cutouts Wisteria Word Flags, Watermelon Paper Ribbons

Have a lovely day xx

Happy Days

Hey there, just catching up on a few creations shared around the place :)

 

The first one from my last 2 Crafty post -

 

 

I have used a couple of 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces here:Line Words - Summer Boarders
Chevron Bits



"Summer"

 

 

 

I chopped both ends off the word Summer and added Shimmerz to the bottom of the

 word and added some water to give it the ombre look.



I stacked the Chevron Bits and pointed them down my page.  I blended in the colours from the background watercolour rainbow.   I used Shimmerz colours Tuscan Sun and Mango Madness.

 

 



 

 

 

 

My Shimmerz watercolour rainbow :)

 

 



I also want to share a layout I created for Pretty Little Studio a couple of weeks ago.

 



 I wanted to document my boys first day of school/Kindy this year.  I new straight away I wanted to incorporate the Z is for Zebra Mini Bunting Flags.  

 

   

 

"1st Day of School 2015"

 

 



 

 

 

 

I hand painted an apple as a background on a layout from a couple of years ago, I really wanted to do this again.  So I started with exactly that, a mixed media red apple.

 

 

 

 



Once that was complete I wanted to layer on my photo.  I used lots of papers and journaling cards to do this.  To the left of my photo I added the Bunting flags as a garland.   

 

 

 

I thought the Fern the Fawn die cut added that extra cute touch to the side of my photo.

 

 



Here I layered a few pieces from the A-Z bunting.

 

 



I even chopped up a word and scattered the letters around the page. 

Thanks for visiting today!

My last 2 Crafty Chipboard shares

 

Hello :)

 

 

Unfortunately this was my very last post shared over at the 2 Crafty Chipboard blog. 

 

I have enjoyed my time on the team for over the past 12 months or so but it is now time to move on.  I have created some of my very favourite projects using these beautiful chipboard pieces and I still have a stash that will keep me going for a while.  So I just want to take the time to thank Vanessa and Di and all of the lovely DT girls I have got to share my time here with.  2 Crafty Chipboard 

have the most gorgeous pieces going around and I am honoured I have been able to work

 with them for the past 12 months.

Okay, so today I have used some of the brand new pieces.

My first creation today is of my 3 adorable boys. 

"My Everything"

 

 

 



 I have used the following 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces -

 

Dreamcatchers

2015's

Foliage Set

Stitched Lace Boarder

My Everything

 I have layered the title piece My Everything on top of my flower cluster. 

 I then just applied Gesso to it.

 I am absolutely in love with the Dreamcatchers.  Definitely my favourite piece at the moment.

  I applied Gesso to both pieces first.  Then I layered them into my flowers.  I wrapped some

 thread around the top one and applied some Shimmerz in Tickle Me Turquoise and Ultra Marine. 

 I added some spots of water to give it the watercolour effect too.



I placed the Foliage up the side of my photo.  Covered in Gesso and then added 

Shimmerz in Tickle Me Turquoise to the bottom and Inklingz in I'm Not Limon.

 

I cut the Stitched Lace Boarder in half and tucked it into my layers and placed my photo
 just above it.  I just simply applied Gesso to it.

I also did the same for the 2015 piece but placed it flat to the layout.  I love the dimension
 in these pieces, it still pops off the page when you cover just the top section in paint.



My second creation today is a canvas I made for Mum.  She turned 60 the other day,

so instead of making her a card I made her this 8 x 8 canvas.  It is very sweet!!

'You Are Loved'





I have used the following 2 Crafty Chipboard pieces -

Lace Heart Frames

ATC - Tiny Hearts

Rose Vine Boarder

Oh my, these Lace Heart Frames are so gorgeous!!  I added lots of flowers and added

 the smaller frame first.  I then added a few more flowers and layered the bigger frame

 on top.  I covered them in Gesso and applied some French Twist Inklingz to the top one. 

 

 

 

 



 I cut up the Rose Vine Boarder and added the pieces around my centre cluster. 

 I applied Gesso once again to it first and the added my Shimmerz products.

  I used Spritz in Ruby and Coloringz in Pretty In Pink.  Plus I then added some

 more French Twist Inklingz.

 

 

 

 



I placed a few ATC - Tiny Hearts to the top left side of the canvas and some down the
bottom of the cluster.  I added Gesso and some Coral Reef Inklingz and flicked on some Spritz.

 

 

 

 



I hope you like these 2 creations and enjoyed all I have created for the 2 Crafty Chipboard Design Team!! 

Take Care xoxo
