Donna Salazar Designs: Cascading Circles

Cherish by Donna Salazar

Hello my peeps! Today I have a quick little sumthin sumthin to share with you. I made the frame in the project below quite a while ago and though I absolutely loved it I didn't have a photo in it. So, as I'm slowly but surely working on finishing up my studio, I decided to finally get this on my wall and add a little mini layout inside of it.

I used my new Cascading Circles die from Spellbinders (releasing next month!!!) to die cut the circle frame and all the little circles as well... even the photo. I painted a piece of cardboard and used my new Girlie Grunge Art Medium from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to decoupage the frame and circles as well as the stamped Journal Words (also from Spellbinders and also releasing next month).

I then painted a thin layer of Girlie Grunge Art Medium around the inside of the frame and used a fluffy paint brush to burnish my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® Pigment Powder in brown over the damp medium.

I offered to give away a couple of the new Creative Scrapbooker magazines but then had some crazy life stuff happen and didn't follow up with social media sharing so I don't think people actually knew about this giveaway. I've extended the drawing for 2 people to each win one of the new magazines until the 15th and will announce the winners then. You can find the original offer on the blog post here> Creative Scrapbooker Magazine Giveaway

All you need to do is leave a comment on the ORIGINAL blog post.

Nature Boy by Donna Salazar

Hello my peeps! Today I'm sharing a layout that I made of my grandson, Hunter. He LOOOOVES the outdoors and I have so many pictures of him being a typical little boy running around with sticks, in trees and playing in the dirt so I wanted to make sure that I made at least one layout of him in his element... I'm sure there are more in my crafting future.

I used my new Cascading Circles die from Spellbinders® that will be available to purchase in April.

I used my Colorbox® Mix'd Media Inx to add the color to the background then used my Mix'd Media Inx CHOX to ink the photos, the edge of the layout and to stamp the title.

I used my Girlie Grunge Art Medium from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® to adhere the circle layers together and to adhere some of the circles to the layout. This medium works as a craft glue, as decoupage, can be mixed with pigment to make a paint and then the paint diluted with water can be used as a spray. I used it to make the lace bowls that were in my post on the Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® blog from the other day too. I'll be doing a lot of videos to share some of the ways that you can use this Girlie Grunge Art Medium... it is one of my favorite new products!
