A wee bit too short.

Hello Clear Scrap peeps! Tonya here today to share a layout with you.  Late last summer I went in to get a haircut. You see, I had had enough of my Marie Osmond (aka way too long of hair for your age) hairdo and was SO ready for much of it to be gone. I hadn't even thought about Locks for Love and when my hairdresser measured, I fell 1/2" short of being able to donate. :( I brought the cut off ponytail home anyway to show my family just how much hair was cut off. Turned out it made a great mustache for my oldest son! 

                                                

                                                

I started with a 12x12 sheet, machine stitched around the edge (one of the greatest things about Clear Scraps acrylic!) and then embellished.

                                                 

                                                

I added a Clear Scraps Arrow here. I first embossed it with a Spellbinders embossing folder and then outlined it with a Zig paint pen.

                                                

Stamped a sentiment directly onto my photo with StazOn ink.

Thanks for stopping by and taking a peek! Hope you all have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!

XL Deco Shape

Hi everyone! It's Irene here! Have you tried using the fun Clear Scraps acrylic XL shape pieces as the base for your layouts? I've used them very often in my layouts. And in the layout above, it's perfect to showcase the peek through design on the top and left of the layout.

Here is a close-up on it.

I've stamped on it with a buttons background stamp by Darkroom Door and later color it with Copic markers. This is such a fun design that you can play with in any way you want.

Tip: Always try to stamp  and color the image on different sides. This is prevent the markers from removing any of the earlier stamped images.

Happy trying!

Purrfect layout

Hello Clear Scraps friends, Leah here with you today to share a layout I made of my oldest daughter's cat, Hamburger. It's a funny name, one day I need to create a layout on just how his name was chosen. :)

I'm working with the wonderful Clear Scraps Acrylic 12x12 sheet, flowers from the Clear N Chip Little Miss Molly set, and the fabulous Expressions Clear Word Title, Purrfect.

I used my Cameo Silhouette to create the beautiful doily background, then I adhered it to the 12x12 acylic sheet. From there, I built up the layers of the layout by adding close ups of this sweet cat of ours in the banner.

The title was so much fun to work with. Washi Tape is huge right now in the industry, and I wanted the title to really stand out. I laid down strips of washi tape all along the front of the title, overlapping as I saw fit. Then I turned it over to cut away the excess tape. I then outlined the edges with my Krylon Leafing Pen to really make it pop.

The washi tape is so thin, you can still see purrfectly through to the pattern papers behind it. It is such a cool effect!

For the flower, I used the same technique as outlined in my post on May 9th. However, on the center piece I sponged some Stazon in Blazing red on the backside to really make it sing. Isn't the result lovely? I also lightly inked the edges of the flower with distress ink. I finished off the layout by using my Viva Decor Pen to create some raised texture on the flower and around the circle doily on the layout.

There you have it, one purrfectly sweet layout using some of my favorite Clear Scraps products!! I hope you have a great day!

Imagine

Sometimes a layout speaks for itself.

No it does not have journaling but I was thinking of this

more like wall art.
I used a 12 x 12 sheet of acrylic from Clear Scraps and LOTS

of artsy products!
My little one is truly a girlie girl, so this is perfect for her!

Perhaps you have a girlie girl too?

I left the ares behind the stenciled heart clear acrylic sheet, you could put paper

behind it but because it'sbecause it is clear and I'm using it for wall art it will now match any decor. 

The stencil , ribbon, paper and flowers are Prima and I used gesso and Gelatos formDesign Memory Craft to color the background.

The title is also acrylic - small acrylic expressions from Clear Scraps.

I hope this inspires you to create something pretty today!

Changes...

Hey hey bloggers Rita Barakat here!  OK today I am showing you three pictures of the same project 

because I want to you see it from different angles! 

Working with acrylic gives you beautiful results

but sometimes it is hard to photograph! What looks like a mirror above is actually

the reflection of the sky on the acrylic!!!!

At a different angle you can see my door in the background.

The acrylic XL Deco acrylic piece as a base is from Clear Scraps. 

I used a Prima stencil and Gelatos to get that look in the center!

If you wanted to you could add paper behind it, but I like to see some of the clear show through.

 Another look!

 

Pennant Embellishments- All The Rage!

Good morning Clear Scraps friends, 

Pinky here with a fun trend in scrapbooking right now. PENNANTS! Classic and trendy at the same time. Of course I love adding them to my pages, perfect for titles or journaling and just plain cuteness. 

Have you checked out the amazing embellishments from Clear Scraps?

There is a design for every project you can imagine!

On this page I used Viva Decor Pearl pens to outline the Clear Scraps Acrylic Pennant Embellishments, then filled them in with letters. 

Until next time-

Geometrical Acrylic layout

Today, I would like to share with you all a geometrical layout using Clear Scraps acrylic sheet as the base.

Check out the details below.

In the close-up above, I've purposely cut out a circle from the pattern paper and exposed part of the acrylic to create a tranparent geometric shape.

I've stamped around the edges of the acrylic to create a floating frame for the layout. Remember to use only permanent ink to stamp on acrylic.

Hope you all find this layout inspiring! Have fun creating!

Clear Beach Layout

Good morning friends, 

Pinky here with a beach themed layout today. 

Sometimes I just want to have that glassy effect on a layout and what better way than to just use Clear Scraps acrylic 12X12 sheets as the base. 

It's simple and elegant and is a great reflection of water. 

I used Viva Decor Pearl pens on the acrylic and the title, silver card stock with some fun tear drop gems. I am ready to scrap the rest of the beach photos!

Create a Floating Scene

Have you tried to scrap a layout using this idea? I've started off this layout on a blank acrylic sheet by Clear Scraps. I like how I could create a scene layout with part of it being transparent and I could see the actual world through it. The areas in white on the layout are actually see through areas.

Here's another picture of it to explain it.

I really love the look of how everything seems to be floating.

Hope you all find this layout inspiring and start creating your own floating scene layout!

Family

Good Monday morning everyone!! It's me Adora, hope you all had a great weekend, refresh and ready to tackle a brand new week! This week I definitely need  want to scrap more  :).  For today I will share this layout  I made of my daughter's family.  For me scrapping a small picture is always a challenge, I am all for big photo and lots and lots of them, it seems easier to create/work on a layout with my photo as  the focal point. So this layout is the opposite, I  use the  Clear Scraps Acrylic Large Experession - Family  to be the focal point of my design and it worked.  So  with the right  stuff there is a place for  small single photo on 12 X 12 page lol!  

Here are the wonderful supplies I used; Clear Scraps 12 X1 12 Acrylic Sheet, Clear Scraps Expression-Family, My Minds Eye Paper, Pink Paislee Paper and 7Gypsies Stickers. Note: I cut the work "Family" to fit into my layout.

Thanks for stopping by and checking us out here at Clear Scraps........until next time!!
