"Captured Happiness" Design Team creation for 49andMarket

Hi there crafty friends. I am back with you today to share a new beachy project. Here in Australia where I live it has been mighty hot,

and the feeling of wanting to be at the beach was on my mind. But it was far too hot to venture out so a layout in the air-conditioning of my art studio was in order.

For this project I have used a different kind of photo. One of my youngest’s leg after she had sat and played in the silty mud like sand at one of

our special favourite spots a few years back. She got up and drew this smiley face which I photographed like I do with everything. And it caught my eye going

through some pics. I have titled this project “Captured happiness”. I hope you enjoy it.

I used the “Old School” collection for my project. The colours were a perfect match so it made for a very easy project. I prepped the “b” side of “Penmanship” with a clear gesso and added in textures using a mix of modelling paste from TCW along with a black pigment powder from Couture Creations. I also added in more colour on the background with Viva Décor Inka Gold in the colour of Cobalt Blue.

I used a second sheet from the “Old School” collection called “High School”, for the matting and layering of my portrait colour photo. Both sides of the papers were used. The edges of each piece of paper was distressed and sanded and layered amongst old pieces of board to give more dimension to my project. These were adhered more to the right side of my project.

I then moved on to adding in archival boards from the black “Timeless” pack. And also a black archival board of a photo negative that I found floating amongst my stash. Colour was added to the archival boards using some of the cobalt blue in the viva gold. This looks so pretty on the black board it really does. I added over some jute cording that was wrapped twice around. Once this sat over the photo I really thought I needed a little of 49andMarket’s burlap to keep with this colouring . This was distressed a little and added amongst the layers of chipboards. Distressed sections of muslin was also used amongst the layers. These were stretched out and then glued using a gel medium. Whilst the gel medium was still wet I sprinkled over 3 different sizes of art stones to break up the colour. I also found a cute little bird from the older collection of Heirloom Botanicals that was added in.

The addition of florals with the navy colour coming from one of my last packs of the gorgeous Botanical Potpourri’s. This would have to have been one of my most favourite colours and flowers from 49andMarket that I have put off using them for so long. I combined a pack of the mini series flowers in Storm amongst the navy flowers. Some of the flowers were split apart to go a little further.

Lastly I added in my title “Captured” that was dressed in White Opal Liquid Pearls. Also some tiny shells and splatters of white gesso watered down along with a few of the Wishing Bubbles in Blueberry. I coloured over these a little more with the cobalt Inka Gold. Well that is my completed project. I do hope it has inspired you in some small way to do some crafting in the coming week. I hope wherever you live at present that you are keeping safe. Until next time take care.

"With all my heart"

Hello and a big welcome back 49andMarket friends. Tina with you today to share another of my projects using the ever so beautiful products from 49andMarket.

I have called this “With all my heart”.

I really am so lucky to be on this team. I often pinch myself. It is such a huge privilege and one that I am forever grateful of. And the reason I am telling you this is that in the past week I have been ever so low on creating mojo I think you might call it. I have been lacking in creativity or the want to create. And what I find for myself is that sitting and staring at my desk never really works. But what does work is just looking at all the beautiful and gorgeous products that I have been given over my time on 49andMarket. Just doing this got the mojo juices flowing. And the project above is what I came up with.

Oh how I love this photo taken by one of my children I think. Me in a photo does not happen often but I think what I love about this pic is the happiness on my little ones face. I really have no idea what had happened during the photo but it is just the moment that has been captured that pulls on the heart strings. And to think this little one turns 16 in only a matter of weeks......... I have used “Whisper” from the “Ethereal” collection. I used two pieces, one for my background and the other for matting of my photo. I did some distressing with the layers behind the photo and popped some up on board to give some dimension. On my background I added in texture using Ranger Crackle Paste and a Script layering stencil. Also I added in colour using acrylic paints as well as some stamping in archival ink. I added in the matting layers and then went to work on adding embellishments. I really love 49’s newest rub-ons so it was my challenge to me to incorporate them into this project. Once I new what my title was I decided on using the stitched hearts and the stitching. I loved using these. They went on so easily with out a problem. And they are crispy clear.

I have used a mix of chipboards and MDF’s to help embellish my layout. I used embossing powders along with acrylic paints and distress inks to colour them. Once all the shapes were in place I went to work on adding in my flower clusters. This took me many hours deciding on a colour and in the end I used many different tones. Something somewhat different for me. I have used many packets of the Sugar Posies and Sugar Petals. I love the colours of these flowers they are amazing. I used the Tutti Fruitti colours and then added in the Twilight from the Garden Petals collection. These matched in perfectly with the Tutti Fruitti flowers and the papers. It was as if they were meant to be together. I toned down the colour a little using a dry brush technique with white gesso. I also added in some pretty silver Micro Beads to add the finishing touches to my project.

I have also used all of the leaves and branches from the Sugar Posies packs. These are just the cutest. They helped to break up some of the white from my mdf flourishes

and just in general. And finishing off I added in some clear crackle over the skeleton clockface and the cute hot air balloon.

Well that is all from me today. I hope this has inspired you in some small way. Just remember the next time you are a little low on mojo not to push yourself but rather

enjoy all the gorgeous products you have and from there I am sure you will find your creativity. Big hugs and until next time happy crafting.

"Fly without wings" 49andMarket Design Team Creation

Hi there friends. I hope this post finds you healthy and happy.

I am back today to share my latest creation for 49andMarket. I have called this project “Fly without wings”. I hope you enjoy my post today, so without further ado I will give you a little rundown of the products used and my creative process.

As you could well imagine every two weeks choosing from the amazing collections from 49andMarket is no mean feat. I um and ah so much it even annoys me!! So when I started creating this project for today I swapped backwards and forwards with differing collections always coming back to the Vintage Artistry Lilac. Oh how I love this collection. The softness of the papers always bring me back to the shabby vintage style of scrapbooking which I love to create in.

I started out with the patterned paper “Tranquil”. This is a beautiful piece with a very simplistic background, a little cursive writing on it and touches of imperfections which always makes for a gorgeous backdrop. I added a small amount of interest to the background paper using Crackle Paste and some random stamping with Ethereal Stamp Set and Black Soot distress ink. I also used the piece “Mystique” from the Lilac Collection as well as the backer card of Sweet Reflections to help the lilacs pop a little. The blues and greys in the Sweet Reflections piece does exactly this. So using the Mystique and Sweet Reflections backer card I made lots layers and mats for my gorgeous photo of my daughter from her formal, to sit upon. I also added in ticket elements from the Lilac Ephemera Stack to help with the layers. These stacks are just amazing with a multitude of tones of purple to help with projects.

I added in some other elements too from the cut out sheets of the backer papers which you will always find in the collection packs. I have used the clocks from the Tattered Garden Sheet, and cut them in half to allow them to go further around my layout. These were also layered up on some Dusty Attic Chipboard doilies which added more interest to the clocks. To the clock faces I dressed them with acrylic paint and also a large covering of Dusty Attic Clear Crackle Varnish.

I have used numerous different collections of flowers from 49andMarket to help with my clustering of flowers. These include the Lavender from the Daisy Stems and the baby Blues from the Sugar Posies Huckleberry collections. With the Fluff from the Sugar Posies collection I used some in white and some I coloured using a mix of white gesso with some Acrylic Paint in Sugar Plum. This gave me a gentler pinkish colour.

Sugar Posies Fluff

Daisy Stem Lavender

Sugar Posies Raspberry

Vintage Artistry Lilac Ephemera Stack

Serendiptious Layered Embellishments

Star Dust Stickles

As you will notice I added in many more chipboards pieces to help frame my photo. Also I added in some laces cut into pieces. The butterflies are from the older collection of 49andMarket’s layered embellishments. The blue leaves were from the Serendipitous collection of layered embellishments. I chose the title name from the barcode strip of the Irrevocable Beauty “Petrarch” paper...... “Fly without wings”. Finishing up my project I added in some pretty flower pearls with mat gel and some Star Dust Stickles over my flower stamens and butterflies and little birds.

Well that is all from me today. I do hope you have enjoyed my blog post.

Take care and until next time happy crafting.

"Beachy" 49andMarket Design Team Creation

Hi there crafty friends. So glad to see you back here joining me today with my newest creation for 49andMarket.

This project I have titled “Beachy”.

I am so very lucky to have received the latest new release collection of Vintage Artistry Shore just in time for this blogpost. I cannot tell you how much this collection means to me. It is quite often that we see the beach collections using the blues and browns, but very rarely does it branch out into the greens of the deep oceans and reds of the corals that we have everywhere here in our beautiful barrier reef. So I was more than happy to see these colours being used for this collection.

I did some digging to find the perfect photo as I always do and I can tell you it took me longer to choose a photo ( of which I had so many that co-ordinated perfectly) than it did to create the layout. Crazy stuff ! But I was so very happy when my oldest daughter gave me a helping hand to choose. It really made the decision making so much easier.

We decided on this photo of my son who will turn 21 in the upcoming week. When the children were younger the beach was where we spent a lot of time. These days not so much, but back then it was regular visits to our favourite spots. And digging was a huge part of our time spent on the beach.

So for my project today I decided to do something without flowers and to concentrate on embellishing with the fabulous laser cut elements from the collection pack. I used Triton’s Shell from the 12 x 12 Collection pack. I love this piece. The detail is amazing. I primed it with clear gesso firstly then added in a small amount of crackle paste texture through a Dusty Attic Fishnet Stencil. I also added a little of the crackle in freehand for more texture. When this was dry I made

a mix of water with Distress Ink Rusty Hinge and painted over some of the stark whiteness to dull it down a little.

I made layers with the Cover page of Vintage Artistry Shore using both sides of the paper. These pieces were heavily distressed and layered up with lots of dimension using old chipboard in between some of the layers. Once I adhered this to my background page I added in some distressed pieces of the 49andMarket Burlap netting. This I find to be the best to distress. I also add a little crackle over this and then sprinkled on some art stones and also some decorative sand that I picked up at the dollar store.

This actually looks like sand so it was a great find. Once I had the basics down

I went to work on embellishing with the Laser Cut sheets from the collection. There are two 12 x 12 sheets in each of these collections. So much to choose from. It makes it hard to decide. I added in the plants and also some of the fish which I though were just so cute. I also added in a few of the shells.

Lastly I added in some stamping using the stamp set from the same collection. I chose the word “Beach” which I used down the right side of the layout for my title. I also added in some random stamping of different shells around the project. I further coloured my project with more gesso and Rusty Hinge Distress Ink.

Well that is me for another blog post. I hope you enjoyed seeing the new collection and my project inspired by all of these fabulous new release products. Until next time take care and happy crafting.
