Hi all!  It’s Tuesdae here with a Scraplift It!  I am excited to share this with you today because Missy is one of my favorite scrapbookers and I just couldn’t wait to find one of her yummy layouts and scraplift it to inspire you!

Recently, I viewed one of Missy Whiddens Youtube videos for the Hip Kit Club and knew it would be perfect to re-create.  I started with mixed media, of course.  A bit of Shimmerz Paints sprays and some new Cosmic Shimmers I thought would make a good background.   I kept the colors bright and colorful, just like Missys.

I tried to follow her layout as close as possible, but of course had to put a little touch of my aesthetic on the page as well.  I can’t ever seem to not follow the rules!  Basically, I arranged the papers in a grid style and sewed them down to the background.  In hindsight I should have just sewn the edges to each piece and then stuck them down on the page because I wanted to stamp and tuck ephemera under the papers.

I did use a stamp set from Cheeky Studio and some Hero Art Ink and Distress Oxide ink to go around the grid formation.  I used clear gesso on the background so it didn’t stamp perfect, but that’s okay.  Messy is best!  I also pulled some ephemera from my stash, an older set called Love & Adore from Simple Stories to embellish with lots of flowers in clusters around the page.  If you watch me on Youtube you know I LOVE flowers!

I finished with a couple of labels and made my title from Crate Paper Oasis collection.  Sprinkles of Shimmerz Paint in Don’t Rain on my Parade” added the contrast to finalize.  I think it turned out lovely.  I encourage you to find inspiration from others and scraplift, use sketches, find mood boards and participate in challenges.  You just may find a whole new style you like. 

Happy Scrapping!

Tues
