Drink Tea & Read Books
Art Journal Page
Bad Girls Couture

Hello all!

I have a page from my 'Park Ave Penthouse Journal' to show you that I created for 


This page speaks volumes about me, and it's about two things that makes me very happy :)

"Drink Tea & Read Books"


For this page I have used one of the white card stock pages from my journal.
I have then painted my page with 'Clear Gesso'.


I have then used 'Molding Paste' and a 'Newsprint' stencil from Celebr8 
to give some texture to my background.


I have then added some colour to my page using my Haute Mess Acrylic Paints in
'Fallen Angel', 'Mannequin' & 'Broken Doll'.


I have recycled an old watch face, that I have used on my page.
I have also repurposed some old book pages, into doilies.

I have used 'Matte Gel Medium' to adhere my paper pieces, 
from the Dear Diary collection from Mintay Papers.


I hope you like what I have created, I had a lot of fun with this page.

Hello all!
I am here today to share my latest creation for

I have created a couple of gift cards.


I have used the Soulmates Collection to create these cards. 
I loved the soft pastel colours and I wanted to make some cards to have on hand ;)

This is an older 7 Dots Collection but definitely a still a gorgeous one. 


I have inked the edges of all my pieces for a bit of an aged look to these cards.


Loving these pinks and blues.


Lots of texture.


I have also used some chipboard pieces from my fave 2Crafty Chipboard.
I have given them a white crackle finish, I have also slightly inked them. 


Lots of gorgeous flowers :)


I have used a mix of stamps from the Air Mail & Northern Lights collections,
 on my background papers.


Some more pretties!


The Word Stickers are from the Air Mail collection.


There is a full process video that you can watch below




I hope you like what I have created.

Until next time

'Timeless' Layout
2Crafty Chipboard & CSI


Hello all! 
I have created this layout as a Guest Designer over at


that 2Crafty Chipboard is one of the generous sponsors of this month.
This is my layout

'Timeless'


I had a lot of fun with this month's moodboard.
I love the pink and green combination.
I have used the stunning 'Beautiful Life' collection from Celebr8


I have left my chipboard all white for this layout, as I felt it worked best.
I have used 3 different sizes of the 
'Clock Face Discs' 


I have also used a couple of the flourishes from the 
'Flourish Adornment Set 4' 
in among my layers.


I have also used one of the
'Fancy Clock Hand Set 2' 
on the smallest clock face.


For my title I have used one of the words from the
'Fine Word Set 2' 
along the bottom of my photo matt.


 I have also used some Celebr8 stencils on my background,
Vintage Script, Tile Pattern & 4 x 3 inch Grunge Border.
There are so many different designs, I'm in love with so many of them :)

'Field Journal'

for Bad Girls Couture

Hello all!
I'm here today to share my latest page in my gorgeous

'Park Ave Penthouse Journal' for 


'Field Journal'


I also have some tips and tricks on different ways to use Matte Gel Medium.
I love my matte gel! 

The first and main way that I use this medium is mixed with my Haute Mess Acrylic Paints.
The Matte Gel Medium adds texture to your dried acrylic paints.


It doesn't really change the consistency to your paint
but you are able to leave texture with brushes or palette knives.

When you first mix it, it may lighten your paint colour, as the gel is white,
but don't fear this is temporary as it dries clear and your colour is the same.


For this page I have started with a coat of Haute Mess Clear Gesso.



I have built up my paint layers using Matte Gel Medium mixed with 
Haute Mess Acrylic Paints in natural colours.


I have also used the Molding Paste to stencil in some fern leaves.



The second way that I have used my Matte Gel Medium,
was to adhere my vintage sewing pattern pieces to my page.
It dries matte and clear and allow my to build up some texture.


I have also used the Whisper Collection from Kaisercraft 
& Word Stickers from 7 Dots Studio 


You can watch the full process video for this page below

Tropical Bliss - Paradise Found Kaisercraft


Hello! 
I'm popping in today to share my latest creation for 
using their Paradise Found Collection.

Perfect for some of my Hawaii photos!

'Tropical Bliss'

When I received this collection I fell in love with all the gorgeous tropical foliage.
I really wanted to use this leaf on the 'Ocean Air' paper.



I have fussy cut it out and adhered foam tape to the back of each frond,
and have then laid it on the page. 
I did need helping hands to do this as it can be quite tricky to line up.


I have then built up a photo stack with layers of the patterned papers, fussy cut florals and some of the stickers from the NEW Sticker Books. 


I have also added in some co-ordinating paper blooms. 


To finish I have used one of the NEW Curios, on a little corner cluster. 

I hope you like what I have created. 
You can find the full instructions for this layout HERE.

Until next time 

Lisa xoxo
