Petaloo

Daddy's Girl layout by Maggi

 

 

It's crazy that this is the only photo I can find of my Dad and me, so I scrap it often!  I was 4 years old and we had just returned from 3 years in France aboard the USS United States.  I do wish I remembered all that!

Maja Design of Sweden so generously gave the Petaloo Design Team some of their gorgeous vintage papers and they go so beautifully with Petaloo's flowers.  I used royal blue ranunculus and sugared minis on this layout.  Then to add to the shabby vintage looked, I dry brushed white paint over the flowers and leaves.

 

 

 

My title is chipboard from Creative Embellishments that I misted with Lindy's and then glued on some 13 Arts blue grit.  Underneath the photo I used a Circle Doodle Frame .

Petaloo Flowers:

Ranunculus x 14 Royal Blue 5017-122

Sugared Minis x 11 Royal Blue 1131-122

Thanks for joining me on the Petaloo blog today and a special thanks to Maja Design for the beautiful vintage papers!

Enjoy the Moment

Enjoy the Moment

Hi, all Heather here sharing a fun, spring layout. this is a picture of my daughter outside by the ponds a few years back. She has this look about her and I captured at just the right time.

I did some simple photo matting on the picture and some subtle background detail work.  I used one of the beautiful Botanical Blooms for the center of the large flower cluster.

And then added smaller darjeerlings and velvet hydrangeas to fill in the spaces. At a recent weekend get-a-way at Maggi's house, I got to play with all her fun scrape stuff, so I filled in with some die cut leaves to match the paper. 

Thank you for stopping by today and as the weather gets warmer I hope you all are enjoying spring each and every day.

Momma's Boy Layout ~ By Heather

Hello all, Heather here today. As mother's day fast approaches,  I am drawn to scrap those precious child photos. This photo is one of my neighbor's little boy and her brother. Such an innocent looking photo and perfectly captured. 

 

 

I recently had a girls weekend getaway and had a small stash of supplies with me to use, so minimal is sometimes better, this masculine layout was perfect for simple. Subtle background details with stamping and some texture. 

Masculine layouts and flowers are such a hard concept sometimes but these neutral tea-stained Dahlias work great with a little oxide inks splattered on them. Neutral and they don't take away from the focal point of the layout. 

A few extra details with some metal embellishments and chippies and the perfect masculine layout captured.

I hope all you mothers, grandmothers, fur momma's and all have a great day. Thank you for stopping by.

Heather

Mom's are the best with Maggi!

 

Mother's Day is just around the corner so I wanted to make a layout with a photo of me Mom and me.  

 

 

I used Maja Designs Vintage Frost Basics papers to create my layout.  First, I did some masking on the background and added a torn corrugated strip on the side atop another piece of design paper and topped that with a beautiful lacy piece of chipboard from Creative Embellishments.

 

I think the lacy border makes such a pretty platform for my coral Petaloo Botanica flowers and sugared berry picks!  

I used another piece of chipboard under this floral cluster of Petaloo Botaonicas.  It really sets of the flowers so nicely!

Spring Layout

Hello Petaloo fans! It's Irene here and for today's post, I would like to share a Spring layout with unique colors. This layout features some of the beautiful chippies by Creative Embellishments and tons of Darjeeling beauties by Petaloo. 

For this layout, I've chosen the combination of pinks, black and white. I've painted all the chippies with black glitter paste for some textures and sparkles.

To add some pop of colors in between all the blacks, I've used Petaloo pretty flowers in pinks. This adds so much dimension and colors to it.

I've also used some Anenome and jeweled florettes to add more vibrant colors to it.

Petaloo Supplies Used:

Darjeeling Anenome - Pink (1490-110)

Dahlias - Pink (1467-110)

Petites - Pink (1465-110)

Jeweled Florettes - Wht/Blk/Grey/Pink (1350-120)

Mini Butterflies - Pink (1486-110)

 

Other Supplies:

Creative Embellishments chipboard

 

Hope to see you all again soon!

Hello, Friends!  Welcome to day 2 of the Creative Embellishments/Petaloo International Blog Hop!  Chipboard is a quick and easy way to add dimension, texture and visual interest to any project.  I incorporated a Creative Embellishments chipboard flourish and title into this shabby chic "Generations" layout made with Graphic 45's Portrait of a Lady Collection.

 

To prepare my chipboard elements for this layout, I first painted them with a layer of Tattered Rose Distress Ink.  When that layer had dried, I randomly covered the surface with Picket Fence Distress Crackle Paint.  While the crackle paint was still damp, I sprinkled the chips with Stampendous Shabby Pink Embossing Enamel and heat embossed.  

 

You can really see the wonderful texture this process added to the "generations" title in this close up photo.

 

I surrounded the framed focal image with this lovely flourish, Darjeeling Cream Anemones, Petite Pink Darjeeling Blossoms and Mini Pink Botanica Blooms.  This draws the eye to the focal image and brings out all the wonderful pinks and creams from the photo.

 

Just look at these gorgeous clusters of Cream Anemones, Soft Pink Botanica Minis and Pink Darjeeling Petites!  Ooh-la-la!

A smaller framed image sits to the left of that lovely flourish.  To give it more of a presence on the page, I layered lots of little banner flags, a doily, pink blossoms and a tassel beneath and around it.

These same pink blooms are a darling addition to this shabby chic garden sink.

I don't make many 12x12 layouts, so this was a nice change of pace for me.  The beautiful papers are enhanced by these elegant chips and gorgeous flowers.  Do you use chipboard elements in your crafting?  How do you alter them?  I'd love to hear all about it in the comment section below.

Thanks for stopping by!

Cheerio,

kathy

How fun to team up with Creative Embellishments (CE)  to bring you a week of Mother's Day fabulous projects using Petaloo flowers and Creative Embellishments chipboard.  It doesn't get much better than that as far as I am concerned!

 

I chose to honor a "different" kinda Mom, but still a Mom.  For so many of us, myself included, our furbabies are our children and we are their Moms.  My furbabies know that I am Mom and if my husband tells my dogs that "Mom's home", they go running to the back door.  I adore this photo of dog Mom,  Maria Cole and her sweet dog Archie.  The look that is passing between them is so special.  It really illustrates the bond between dogs and their human parents.

 

I love to layer chipboard vines and flourishes underneath my Petaloo blooms, that is such a great look.  I colored my chippies with some gold mist and then lightly dry brushed white paint onto the chippies and the flowers.  Petaloo's Darjeeling Blooms are perfect for painting and misting as they are a nice heavy weight paper flower.

I used Petaloo Darjeeling blooms on my layout, they are some of my favorites.  I've used dahlias, rosetes and little minis along with a couple butterflies, all from the Darjeeling collection. 

 

In addition to chipboard, Creative Embellishments sells masks, wood veneers and stamps. I used a CE pawprint mask on the background of this layout, its just the touch I wanted.

Maggi's Furbabies!

Petaloo loves Pets!  We're celebrating by giving away a 10 pc Petaloo Prize package, enter here!

 

 

 

Maggi here today, and I'm sharing a layout I did of my sweet furbabies, Nika and Tisha.  They love each other so much and they're always together, sleeping, playing or begging!  🐩 😍

While I was at Creativation in Phoenix I stopped by the Fabscraps booth and visited with Bea and Cait.  Knowing that they are dog lovers like me, I showed them this sweet photo and  they said you must scrap this photo with our new collection, Lavender Breeze.  And WOW, it worked so perfectly with my photo!

Even better, Petaloo's Briar Roses look fabulous with this collection. The purples and lavenders go so perfectly with the papers.  I tucked in some Cheery Lynn Designs diecuts to finish off my clusters.

 

These hearts are diecuts that are included in the collection and I thought they looked really great nestled in with my Petaloo blooms.
