I have been playing once again with my AltairArt collection utilising two different collections - Sunrise and EverDream collections.  Sunrise 5 is a beautiful paper, I really love the colouring throughout this paper and it made the perfect background.  Strangely, I was in a dark mood when I sat down to be creative and so I wanted to grunge the design up a bit.  So I did and I initially spread some white modelling paste in my creative areas and then I used graphite texture paste through a graffiti type Dusty Attic stencil.  After that, out came the sprays and I splattered and dribbled them around the page.   Once this was dry, I started building up my photo matte and then on goes the process of lace, ribbon, ephemera and plenty of flowers, finished off with some bling.  Close ups below.  Hope you like it.  To see more of my work, please go to www.jacobicreations.com

Presenting my latest layout as a design team member for a2z scrapbooking using digital stamps from Hero Arts.  This is my 2nd foray into the use of digital stamps on a hybrid layout and I must say, I do love them using a bit.  While using them in this way requires extra work, colouring and cutting out, I like it as it just makes another dimension of work to add to the layout. So, the challenge at a2z scrapbooking this month is Bright and Beautiful, gorgeous theme when you think about it, so many options.  I turned to Hero Arts Instant Download Poetic Petals Digital Stamps PT004 as the flowers are the perfect theme.  I had lots of painful hand fun colouring them in using my chameleon markers and pencils.   I started with a blank canvas and did some stencilling with embossing paste, which I really can hardly be seen now, but I did have a different layout in mind initially.  I intended to use an array of Lindy's Magical Shakers anyway to create ...

After working on the Fabscraps C100 balloon I created, I was in need for something a bit more freewheeling, the balloon had a wonderful theme to it, but I just needed to let loose a little and so I turned to the album, where the cover is shaped like a cog and the rest of the pages are circular. I had much fun once again with this one, lots of embossing throughout, especially, as you can see, on the front cover!  This paper collection comes with tags and stickers, 2 different stencils, 12" and 6" papers, the butterfly is cut separate and the album also comes with the metal rings to bind it all together.  My only mistake was getting completely carried away and decorated the very back cover.  Clearly, I was enjoying myself, wayyyyy too much.  Wait, is that even possible when it comes to creativity.  I am sure not. Lots of cogs were used throughout as the paper is themed steampunk with lots of groovy images that are just crying out to be fussy cut.  ...
