Hot Chocolate Scrapbook Layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

  Hello 13@rts fans,

I am Heike from Heike`s AugenBlick and I am your host for today.

I hope you are well and you enjoy the Autumn season. 

I created for you a scrapbook layout of course in mixed media style, with my thoughts on the 

 festive month of December. I love hot chocolate with wipped cream, so yummy.

For me this drink is part of feel good in the cold months.

Here is my favorite recipe for hot chocolate:

You need: 

 250ml milk, 

 a pinch cinnamon,

 a teaspoon of brown sugar

 and 45gram dark chocolate (broken into small pieces).

Heat three teaspoons of milk with the rest of the ingredients until a creamy substance is formed.

Then add the rest of the milk. Fill the hot chocolate in a cup. 

Finish touch: wipped cream, mini marshmellows and a pinch cinnamon. Cheers!!

My title of course is called:

Hot chocolate

How I start my layout:

When I start a scrapbook layout in mixed media design, I usually start with the embellishments. 

In my case it was the cut-out paper of the Bella paper collection. 

After that I go on the search for a suitable photo and background paper. My favorite free photo site is "Pixabay".

Then I start with a so-called raw design: I put the photo and my embellishments (without glue) on my background paper. Then I search again for more decoration products and embellishments.

After that I decide about my color combination, my 3D effect mediums and the use of stencil and stamps.

If I am happy with my so called raw-design, I start with the fun part of my design. First adding of clear gesso on both sites of my background paper. I let my background paper air dry. In the mean time 

I paint and color my embellishments. 

This is how I start my scrapbook layout in mixed media style.

A closer look:

For my layers behind the photo I always use the A6 paper packs. 

Perfect also for DIE cutting ( Doiley in the left corner behind my photo) 

Here is a perfect closer look to the new glas nugget from 13@rts.

I glued the glas nugget on the dier images from the new ART book from 13@rts.

DIE cutting with the A6 Victoriana paper and finishing touch with embossingpowder.

Underneath a piece of the Bella transparency.

Each new paper collection comes with a cut-out paper sheet. 

Sometimes I have the feeling with the cut-out paper elements that I have to change the colors a bit so that they fit better to my design. Therefore I mostly use watercolor and for the finishing touch 

I use Color Glow.

Mini album by Yulya Chorna

Hello everyone! 

Today I want to show you my new mini-album which I made using "Unforgettable" collection by 13 arts. The size of the album is 20 by 11 centimetres.

It has a lot of secret places hidden within its pages. Thanks to that, this mini-album may contain up to 35 - 40 photos.

This album is designed with flat decor, but it has multiple layers with different elements which makes it quite interesting. At the same time, I think such a format is handy and comfortable to hold in your hands. 

What do you think? Please share your thoughts in the comments.

Mixed Media Layout by Heike`s AugenBlick

Hello everyone,

Heike here from Heike`s AugenBlick and I have today the pleasure to inspire you to work with the wonderful products of 13@rts.

The summer has arrived here in The Netherlands with days around 25 degrees Celsius. 

Wonderful to sit in the garden and enjoy the nature. 

I got a beautiful hammock with wooden stand from my handsome hubby. 

Now I have to be careful that I don't just lie in the hammock and read. 

Living is so beautiful if you know how to enjoy it. But anyway..

"FAVORITE"...

is my Steampunk inspired mixed media layout with a photo of my son Joshua.

A closer look.

Background steps on my page:

I started my mixed media layout on two sheets of paper called: Rosefield and the clock.

My first step was adding two layers of clear gesso. After everything was dry very well, I added a layer of a mix from acrylic medium, color glow topaz and rainbow color navy blue to my background.

The left over mix was for the chipboard decoration and for splatters. I decided to play along with the stencil dance of gears and a mix of multipurpose gel and color glow calcite. I dryed my background over night. The next day I started with painting around the gears with orange rainbow color and vivid orange. After the color was dry I added gold glitter to the gears and also to the blue colored chipboards. My last step on my background was adding black gesso with texture powder.

Now it was time for my focal point. 

I used from 13@rts:

 Rosalie 12 x 12 inch paper pad

Victoriana 12 x 12 inch paper pad

Victoriana 6 x 6 inch paper pad

Timeless Scrapbook Layout by Heike`sAugenBlick

Hello friends from 13@rts, 

I am Heike and I am your host for today. 

Now we have the month of May. What luck do we have with this spring weather.  

We spend many hours in our garden, which now shines so wonderfully in the green spring color.

And the first BBQ we have already passed.

But anyway.

I have for you as inspiration a scrapbook layout with a photo of my youngest daughter Mia.

How I start my creative process.

1. I started with two layers of clear gesso from 13arts. This clear gesso layer allows me to work with liquid products so as watercolor.

2. My second step is then always the selecting of my photo. I prefer black and white photo images.

3. Then I decide to put together my color-theme. Here I let myself be guided by my feelings of my mood of the day.

4. For a success on my craft tabel, I like to create with nature- relax music or classic music. A good cup of tea next to me.

That is what I love to do before I start with creating.
